The New Yorkers

Chapter 1

"You get kicked out again?" my best friend Marguerite asked me.

I hate my parents. I'm a big I've seen the outsiders a few times, I guess its an okay movie but honestly I like the book better. I'm like every single one of them, I'm from New York and am tough like Dally, I'm dreamy like Ponyboy, I know how to fix cars like Steve, I have the home life of Johnny, I guess I'm cute and loving like Sodapop, I have Two- Bit's quick wit and sense of humor, and can be a leader like Darry.

Marguerite or Maggie as I call her is more of a soc where as I'm a greaser. We're so different yet we're so the same. She's a cheerleader and I'm a sports player. She is a brunette and I'm pretty much a blonde. She's short and I'm tall. She's 13 and I'm 14, yet she's in highschool. She has a boyfriend while I have many boyfriends. She's prettier than me at least that's my opinion. The good thing is we're both thin, maybe not pencil thin but thin.

My name is Lacey and I live in New York. I live in 2006 and I wish I could go back in time and into the movie so I could save Johnny. He doesn't deserve to die like that and either does Dally.

"Yeah," I answered her.

"You planning on sleeping out hear in the cold with only a tree for shelter," I could hear her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Yeah, pretty much."

"I can't let you stay out hear alone, I'm calling Anthony," when she said that I could have cried. Anthony was my ex but he still cared about me. Right now I was going out with this guy named Evan, or jackass as I call him.

"No, Maggie please don't do that, really I have my swiss army knife with me and no one will give me troubles in this part of town. Look I even have my cell phone with me."

"Fine I won't call him but I'm staying out here with you."

"Okay whatever you feel the need to do."

Darkness engulfed me after that and I woke up to a blonde devil, a tall kid, and a kid with black bangs in front of his eyes.

I'll tell you this, they surprised me. I didn't show it but I was pretty scared. Of course if they were going to get wise I'd put my smart ass side on.

"Did I tell you, you could sleep on my grass," the blonde haireddevil growled at me. This woke Maggie up but she was too scared to say anything. She just stared at me cause she knew I could handle these guys and I could take care of myself. I also took the time to look at us, I was wearing tight denim Capri pants and a camouflage tank top with my blonde hair in a messy bun. To most guys I would look pretty hot which is what I was afraid of.

Maggie had on a short skirt and a tight white tanktop. Her hair was in two braided pig tails, again I was scared cause to most guys we were what was called "a total score."

"No, but even if you did I still would have slept on it," like I said if they were going to get smart then so would I.

"Now, don't get smart, I don't like kids I just don't like them, " the blonde said to me. The other two were just in the corner looking a little scared, hey I don't blame them.

"Then it's a good thing were not kids then," I said making sure my remark was just as cunning as his. Then I looked at Maggie, Maggie hated fights and I sure didn't want to start one so I decide to at least try and make peace.

"Look this is New York and we don't like fights so if you think this is your grass, well I'll just have to claim it," I said and took out my swiss army knife. The kid with the bangs flinched when I took it out. The blonde one was about to pound my head in when I started to write in the ground with my knife. I wrote L-A-C-E-Y and then I wrote right under it M-A-G-G-I-E. I then immediately put it away.
