Alison's POV
I woke up to Jason slamming the door, guess my mom and him got in a fight. What? Did you think we were some perfect family that never gets in fights? Ha! Well you thought wrong, my mom and Jason get in fights from time to time. Jason hasn't been working and my mom has been on his case about getting one. He's 20 and still living with us, she wants him to find a job and get enough money to go to college and move away. Sometimes my mom and I get in fights. One was over my nose and belly button piercings, she was not happy about that, even though I was 17, but it was a week away from my 18th birthday. I use to have a job in California, so she was never bugging me about that. She doesn't really like the clothes I wear, she says its too reveling, but I don't care. Its summer and its hot outside, so of course I'm gonna wear what I wear. I also hope you didn't think I was some sweet, innocent angel, because I'm not. That's what everyone thinks of me, but I can be rebellious when I want to. Getting my piercings was rebellious, my mom told me not to get any until I was 18. She was pissed at me for almost a whole month, oh well, she got over it.
Anyway, I got dressed and walked downstairs and into the kitchen, my mom had left for work already and had made breakfast. I ate, cleaned up and pulled my shoes on. I grabbed my sunglasses, the sun was shinning bright today and walked out of the house. I locked the door, with the key my mom left and walked to the Curtis house. Like Soda had told me, the door was unlocked and when I walked in Two-bit, Johnny and Pony were in the living room. "Morning guys." I said, sitting down on the couch. Two-bit looks at me and whistles. "Hey hottie." he said and winked at me. Dally walked in than and glared at Two-bit. "Keith I know she's hot and hard to keep away from, but you'll have to. Besides she's not blonde." Dally said. "I noticed, but I was only complimenting the sweet girl." Two-bit said, I was slightly blushing right now. "Hey Dally." I said, looking up at Dally. "Hey Ali." Dally said, looking down at me. "Who's up for a game of football?"
Darry asked after walking in the room. "Me!" I heard the guys yell, and I just shrugged. "I've never played before." I said. "How have ya never played football before?" Steve asked. "Easy, the only guy best friend I had was Dally and my older brother, Jason, never really got into football. We mostly surfed, I did like everyday. Besides I like volleyball more than any sport really, unless surfing is a sport." I said. "wow, ok so we'll teach you." Dally said and I nodded.
The guys had taught me how to play football and I wasn't all that great, but it was the first time I played. The teams were Darry, Dally, Pony and I , Steve, Soda, Johnny and Two-bit. My team ended up winning, only because Darry is so good at football. When we had finished our game, it was already dinner time. My mom had texted me a little bit after the guys and I left the lot and I looked at the text.
Mom: Come home and have you seen Jason?
Me: I'll be there in a little and no, I haven't seen him since yesterday
Mom: alright, tell him to come home if you see him
Me: alright, see you in a little mom
"I gotta go home guys, I'll see you tomorrow." I said, looking at the guys. "Alright, night Ali and bring a bathing suit tomorrow, we're goin' swimmin'." Two-bit said. "ok, night guys." I said. "night." they all said to me before I walked off, on my way home. As I walked I texted Jason.
Me: where are you?
I waited for him to text back, which took awhile longer than usual.
Jason: I'm heading home now
Me: where have you been? Mom's worried
Jason: that bitch can worry, besides, I got into a fight
Me: oh my gosh, are you?
Jason: I'm fine Aligator, don't worry
Me: alright Jas, see you at home
He may have told me not to worry, but I'm going to worry anyway. Gosh, I hope he ain't hurt too badly, I'd prefer not at all though. I sigh and walk in the house, I had been sitting on the porch while I texted Jason. When I walked in my mom looked up, probably thinking it was Jason. "sorry mom, its only me." I said. "At least you got home safe, have you talked to Jason?" Mom asked. "Yea, he's on his way home." I said. Just then Jason walked in the house. My mom looked up at him and gasped. Jason's face was covered in bruises and his lip was busted. "What happened?" she asked. "Just got in a fight with a bunch guys, I didn't even do anything wrong." Jason said. "Socs, they jump us greasers for fun." I said and they both looked at me. "What?" my mom asked. I than explained the whole, grease vs. soc thing to them, the way Dally had to me. "Wow, that's bad." Jason said. "Maybe we should move somewhere else." mom said. "No, I just found my best friend, I don't wanna loose him again." I said and mom nodded and sighed, saying, "Alright, fine, we aren't going anywhere." After that we all sat down and ate dinner.
I washed the dishes after dinner and sat on the couch in the living room. I turned the tv on and watched a few movies. After that I went to my room to change and i took my piercings out, then went to bed.
