A/n: Ok I guess I didn't really describe what Summer looked like. She has Blonde hair that goes to her shoulders. She has brown eyes and is about 5'6.

Summer's POV

Six Socs got out of the car. They looked kind of muscular. They still out-numbered us. I could take on maybe one or two, but no more than two. I don't think soda could take on four or five at once. Then another car of two Socs came.

One tried to punch me but I dodged it. Out of nowhere a soc gabbed my arms and another grabbed my legs. I spit on the soc that was coming towards me.

"I think we should teach you some manners," the Soc said. Sodapop was taking care of two Socs. Another Soc was coming towards me. One took out a blade. "I'm gonna cut you to shreds, greaser." I screamed for Sodapop. He had one of the Socs he was fighting before on the ground.

The Soc ran his blade by my head. He slashed my cheek and I was in pain. Then he cut my arm. I started to remember eight years ago when I got left in the street. This was much worse. They were laughing at me. They were cutting me. They were even spitting on me. Then I blacked out.

"Where am I?" I asked once I finally woke up. My eyesight was blurred.

"You're at my house Summer." Someone said.

"Sodapop?"

"Yeah, it's me."

"What happened?"

"We were walking and got attacked by Socs. Four of them took you on and four took me on. They cut your arm and cheek and you blacked out. That's when the gang came. The Socs fought and left. Then we brought you here to get you bandaged up."

"Why did you stay?"

"What do you mean?"

"You could have just left."

"No I couldn't."

"Why not?"

"Because you're my friend, I couldn't just leave."

"I'm you're friend?" My sight cleared and then I saw the whole gang there.

"We all are." Ponyboy said.

"You shouldn't be my friends."

Sodapop's POV

"You shouldn't be my friends." Summer said. Is she serious?

"Why not?" I asked.

"I care about you guys."

"So we shouldn't be your friends?" I was confused.

"It's not that."

"Then what is it?"

"Whenever I care about people. They have to leave me."

"We're not going anywhere."

"Do you promise?"

"I promise. So do you want to give our friendship a chance? Be a part of the gang?"

"I guess. But you guys will be my first friends." She's never had friends? Then she added, "Well in ten years."

Summers POV

I had friends! I haven't had a friend since I went to the orphanage. I thought they pitied me when I went to the orphanage. I don't like pity. I give you one chance after you know I know that you pity me. I told them I didn't need pity and I didn't see them again I blame the orphanage. Kids were afraid to go near it. But now I had seven friends.
