Rawr. Update? Yes. Of course. And... I love rain. I'll walk in it with no umbrealla, only a sweater with a hood. But I won't use the hood. XD... Now... read on.
Chapter One
Well, the day had finally arrived. My first day at my first school. I mean, I've always been home-schooled. Mostly because of my phobia of crowded places, like a classroom. Also, my parents were afraid of other kids teasing me about how 'weird' I was. But after explaining to her that I had friends that went there now, she had actually agreed to let me go.
"Are you sure you'll be fine?" my mother asked as we waited outside on the porch for Two-Bit, Johnny and Ponyboy to pick me up. I dunno why they didn't just walk. It wasn't far.
"Sure, sure," I said quickly, noticing Two-Bit's car, which he probably stole, come speeding down the street. I was a little hesitant about getting in a car with him after seeing him almost go over the curb. But, seeing as I didn't really have a choice, I climbed into the car, waving goodbye to my mother.
As we drove and drove I preoccupied myself with watching the rain fall outside. I've always liked the rain for some reason. Sure, it's not exactly nice out when it rains, but it's like... the rain is my sun. (A/N: Woo. I thought of that 'the rain is my sun' thing while walking to school. In the rain. I love rain. Alot.).
"Hey, I never knew the rain was so interesting," Two-Bit said jokingly, and I could see him grinning in the rearview mirror. I grinned back and shrugged.
"There's something... different about it. Besides, I like walking in it. I like the feel of the rain on my face..."
I was pretty sure that if Dally was there he would've told me to shutup of something, but everyone else just stayed silent. Ponyboy was engrossed in a book, Johnny was staring at his feet, and Two-Bit was... driving. He was also still speeding, and it almost made me fear for my life.
But soon enough, we pulled up to the school. I have to admit, I was a little bit nervous, since I'd never even went to a school before. Plus, I was new and that always made people a little nervous.
As we stepped out of the car, I couldn't help but notice a couple kids standing off the the side. Their clothes looked more expensive that Johnny, Two-Bit, and Pony's. They must be the socs. Johnny had killed one of them, hadn't he? And that's how they got into that big mess...
Some of the socs were giving Johnny and Ponyboy dirty looks, and it was obvious why. Thye'd killed one of their kind. Heck, it sounds like we're talking about animals here, not humans. Animals are split into groups too, like the humans here. Socs, greasers, middle-classers... It just doesn't make sense. We're all people.
Before they could glare back and probably end up starting a fight, I instantly started talking.
"Sooo... Johnny, I guess I'll be in at least one of your classes, right?"
Ponyboy however, interrupted. I wass hoping I'd get to hear Johnny speak, since he hadn't so far. All he had done was either nod or shake his head.
"Not necesarrily. I mean, You could have all your classes with him, or just a few, or one, or none."
I nodded, showing him I understood. But I really hoped I had some classes with at least someone I knew. You know, to make it a little bit easier. I'd probably get lost in the school, for crying out loud!
"Hey, you three wanna walk me to the office?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. I did't know the way, obviously, so It would be a big help. In the end, all three of them agreed and we began walking to the office.
The lady at the front desk had long fake nails, that were painted the brightest red I've ever seen, and her lipstick was practically the same colour only, if possible, brighter. Her hair was a mass of brown curls, and as she glanced up at me I saw that her eyes were green. She was chewing gum, popping it constantly.
With a click of her tounge she asked:
"A new student, perhaps?"
I nodded, glancing once more at her brightly coloured nails.
"You know," I said as she handed me a schedule. "I think lime green would look better on you."
She gave me a half-shocked, half-appauled look and said...
"I'll paint my nails whatever colour I want young lady."
Not wanting to start a problem, I just shrugged and left with Johnny and Pony trialing behind me. Two-Bit had stayed behind to flirt with the woman, which I found to be quite repulsive. She was like what, thirty-five? And he was... eighteen, I think. And I didn't think that woman was a pedophile.
As me and Johnny compared schedules, Itturned out we had most of our classes together. And the first period just happened to be Chemistry.
"There's alo of socs in that class," Johnny said quietly, with a nervous glance at me. I bet he was just pleading silently for me to offer to skip with him. But my parents would have a fit if I did that, so I just smiled sympathetically at him as we started walking towards the classroom.
"Well, this is it," I said, as we reached the classroom door.
Johnny gulped and nodded, as I pulled open the door...
aaaaaaaand...
stop. Great, right? I'm trying to improve my writing skills.
So,

marysue?
