Disclaimer: I don't own them, S.E. Hinton does.

-----------------------

I was walking home from school, it was January and cold. I lived in the bad part of town with my dad. My mom died a few years ago, and since then my dad kinda lost it. He was a drunk and a drug addict, and I hated him for it, but I didn't let it show.

I basically lived at the Curtis' because of it. That's where I had met Dally for the first time…..'Don't think about Dally I told myself. I sighed and continued on my way. My brown hair was blowing in the chilly wind. I shivered a little as a particularly cold gust blew through my jacket.

I was walking just enjoying my thoughts when I heard the foot steps behind me. 'Shit' I thought to myself. I quickened my pace and so did the foot steps behind me.

"Hey dollface." A deep voice rang out mockingly behind me. I just kept walking, head down.

"Hey girl, I'm talking to you!" he sounded angry now. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder and this time I knew it wasn't Two-Bit's.

The hand whirled me around to face its owner. He was about 6'4 and 200 pounds at least. There was no way my 5'7 120 pounds body could take that.

"Hey dollface." He said seductively "You wanna go for a ride?"

"No…" I gulped.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes." I replied.

"Yes you want to go." He said, pulling me towards the car.

"NO! NO! NO! NO!" I screamed. Then I voice I didn't recognize said: "She said no."

"What are you gonna do about it?" My captor asked.

"This." He said and punched the guy, knocking him out. Then he threw the cigarette he had been smoking at him and grabbed my arm and dragged me away.

He looked tough, and he was tough. He had a scar that ran across his face and he had deep dark black eyes. From the first time I saw him I was infatuated with him.

"So what's a pretty girl like you doing out here?" He asked while lighting up a smoke.

"Walking home." I replied quietly.

"Really? I haven't seen you around here before." He said.

"Well I haven't seen you around here before either." I said.

"Ever hear of the Shepard gang?" He asked

Come to think of it, that did sound familiar. Yeah, that was the gang that Dally was talking about, he had talked highly of them and said that the night he died he was going to have a rumble with the Socs and the Shepard gang was going to be there. I had chosen to stay with Johnny that night instead, though.

"Yeah, I've heard of them," I said.

"Well, I'm their leader. Name's Tim."

"Alex." I replied.

I was so busy walking and talking that I didn't even notice that we were going to his house…..

Well I guess that's all. Bye.

Oh and review please. :
