These chapters are really short starting out. They'll get longer as I go along. Thanks for reviewing it... It'll help me to write things with suggestions. My ideas come from a mix o the book and movie.

Disclaimer-I only own the people not talked about in The Outsiders.

Chapter Two

Steve and Soda walked in the front door.

"And if we do that, it'll keep the kids from always trying to go to the game with us" Steve said thinking of how to keep Ponyboy from joining him and Soda to the game Friday night.

"Why don't you just move out of state so he won't be near you" Annie managed to say while giggling.

"Why don't you just shut the fu..." Steve wasn't able to finish because Soda and Two-bit glared at him. No one said anything mean to Annie in any of the gangs presence.

"Alright, so then we can get up in front of the class and speak in that way... Oh damn, whats it called again? The thing Mrs. Hapfer does?" Two-bit said trying to figure out a way to put the class to sleep when he and Annie did their speech presentation.

"Monotone?" Annie laughed, "Somehow I think we'd be in trouble, I want to graduate next year"

"Fine, so I'll tell her before hand that I forced you to do the speech that way" He said smartly.

"Oh my god, lets just do it the way the teacher wants!"

Two-bit and Annie fought about the project until Ponyboy and Johnny walked in the door.

"Why don't you two just get married" Ponyboy smirked, "you act like it enough."

With that Annie turned bright red while Steve, Soda, and Johnny laughed. Two-bit was rolling on the floor, laughing obnoxiously loud.

On Mondays the gang all ate dinner at the Curtis' house.

"Man, it sucks not having Dally here" Johnny missed one of his closest friends, who was in jail yet again.

"Yeah, Annie even cooked and everything. He only likes eating here when she cooks."

"God bless her for that. No food that Soda or Darry makes is ever eatable." Two-bit said, finding the perfect time to put in one of his wise-cracks.

"Why thank you" Soda sarcastically said, "I'll just have to remember that next time you show up begging for food saying that you think you'll die of starvation. Hey! You two in the kitchen" screaming to Darry and Annie, "I'd eat something before Two-bit finishes it!"

FLASHBACK

She grabbed Johnny's arm and flung him into the closest. The booze seemed to drip of of her breath.

"You get to stay here while I go find that bitch of a sister you have" She said locking the door and storming out of the room ranting and raving about her children waking her from a nap.

Annie was dragged out from under the porch then pushed into the closest next to her brother. The four year-old clung to him and whimpered, wondering why her momma hated them so much.
