Hello everybody….it's cms4ever and cleo4ever44 here with this new story. We've decided to co-write this story together. As you can tell it's an outsider fanfic. We've watched 'A Bronx Tale' 'Our deal by west coast' and plenty of more things to get our idea. In our story the year is 2011, yes we are aware that the outsiders happened around 19th century but it is our story and this is what we choose to do.
We do not own any of the outside characters, but as for the oc characters and plot….it's all ours. So don't go posting our story somewhere else without our permission. If you are, contact Cms4ever or cleo4ever44 first.
Warning: There will be many racist events going on. We do not intend to offend anyone in this time, so I apologize ahead of time if that does happen.
Summary: Ponyboy Curtis falls for the new girl. One problem….she's black. Ponyboy thinks color shouldn't be an issue, but people think other wise. Lucy Keith isn't the perfect chick Ponyboy thought her to be. She has her secrets; the question is what is it? Lucy and Ponyboy will face many problems in there relationship before any fairytale ending.
The color's Black
After the trial we went back to Angel's house. We spent two more days with the Jones. It was very sad when we had to leave. Angel and I said our goodbyes and I boarded the plane with my mom. We landed in Tulsa around 7:45 p.m. We waited by the passenger pick up for my dad. Dad's black porch pulled up in front of us.
"Good to have you back," he said giving my mom and me both a hug and a kiss on the lip for my mom.
He knew what the verdict was seeing as we called him after the trial, so I'm pretty sure he told my siblings.
When we got home Lucas and Camille tackled me to the ground.
"Was it scary?" Camille asked grabbing onto my hands.
"A little but mom was there to ease my nerve," I reassured her.
"Lucy, next time someone does something to you, be sure to tell me, and I'll roughen them up for," Lucas said making two fists and flexing his scrawny little arms.
Laughing at him we all went to the dining room talking, while we enjoyed some red velvet cake dad had gotten from mom's bakery.
I went up the stairs to get ready for bed around 9:34pm.
I brushed my wet hair as I made my way over to my bed. I pulled out my cell phone and noticed I had one new text message. Flicking the screen open I read the message aloud.
"Are you back from New York, call me?" I dialed Ponyboy's number and pressed the call button.
"Hello?" a groggy male voice answered.
"May I please speak with Ponyboy?" I asked unsure of who I was talking to.
"Who is this?" the male asked clearly annoyed at what time I had called.
"I'm Lucy Keith."
There was shuffling in the background. I waited patiently for someone to speak again.
"Lucy?" I heard a familiar voice ask into the phone.
"Hey, Ponyboy,"
"Hey how did everything go?" he asked.
"Pretty well, they found Elijah guilty for everything," I told him happily.
"Wow," was his response.
We spent the next two hours babbling it up on the phone.
"Lucy…..do you want to go to the movies and maybe a dinner with me?" Ponyboy asked nervously.
"Like a date?" I asked excitedly.
"If you want,"
"I do,"
"Then it's a date, I'll text you the time tomorrow," he said.
"Sure, goodnight Ponyboy," I whispered.
"Night Lucy," he whispered back before I hung up the phone.
The Next Day
I'll pick you up at 6:30pm- Ponyboy, I read from my phone. Rapidly I ran up to my room and raided it. I went through my closets, wardrobes, and dressers. I only had two hours to get ready. I finally came up with the perfect outfit which was a baby blue tube top, black skinny jean, blue Uggs, and a black blazer.
Applying lip gloss and ruffling my thick locks of hair, I decided I looked okay. As I walked down the stairs the bell rang.
"I'll get it!" I screamed running for the door. "Hi," I said breathlessly.
"You look stunning," Ponyboy said looking me from top to bottom.
"You don't look bad yourself," He had on a black shirt with a leather jacket over it, dark jeans and matching black shoes.
"I got you some flowers," he told me handing over the bouquet of daisies.
"How did you know daisies were my favorite?" I asked suspiciously.
"A little bird told me," he said with a smirk.
"Mom, I'm heading out now," I called out to her.
"Okay sweet pea, be careful," she told me from the kitchen.
We weren't old enough to drive or have a car yet, so we had to take a taxi. I sure didn't want my mom or dad driving me, and I'm guessing Ponyboy didn't want his brother driving us either.
It's probably because they would embarrass us in some way. We got out the taxi and walked to the cinema.
"What do you want to watch?" Ponyboy asked.
"Surprise me," I said with a smile. He ended up picking out Columbiana; it was a nice action movie. After the movie we walked over to a restaurant that was only two blocks away. People stopped to watch us as we walked side by side. Finding it awkward I kept my head down as we walked. Ponyboy seemed to not notice all the stares we were getting.
"A table for two please," Ponyboy requested once we entered the restaurant. We were seated in the back near the windows where we could see out into the streets.
It was private and I liked that. The waiter came over and took our orders; Ponyboy ordered the steak, while I ordered lamb.
"Were you happy to be back in New York?" Ponyboy asked once our food came.
"I guess, I mean I was happy to see my friend again if that's what you mean," I said placing a fork of lamb in my mouth.
"Have you ever had a boyfriend before?" he asked innocently.
"No," I answered to quickly. His eyes seemed to light up when I said this.
"Why?" I asked raising my brows at him.
"Nothing," he said looking down.
"Have you have girlfriends?" I asked turning the tables on him.
"Um…y-no," he stuttered out, his cheeks turning a rosy pink color. Lucky for me when I blushed, you could barely notice, due to the darkness of my skin tone.
He probably did have girlfriends; I mean who wouldn't want to go out with him. He was so cute, sweet, and kind, and did I mention cute?
We finished eating and asked each other even more questions.
"Lucy?" Ponyboy whispered as we walked down the block of my house.
"Yes?" I asked looking up at him.
"Do…y-you….. Want to be my g-girlfriend?" he asked nervously. He seemed to stop breathing while he waited for my answer.
I bit the inside of my mouth to keep from jumping for joy.
"Yes," I whispered quietly, he stopped walking.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, seriously."
He let out a hearty laugh and enveloped me into a hug. We walked hand in hand to my door. I stopped to turn to him.
"Goodbye, I had a great time," I said pushing my hair behind my ear.
"So did I," he said looking deep into my eyes. His greenish blue eyes seemed to glow in the darkness of the cold night. Uncontrollably we both leaned in and my soft lips met his. It was a sweet romantic unforced kiss. Ponyboy snaked his arms around my torso, and I wrapped mine around his neck.
It was almost like in the movies where fireworks would go off in the background, and the girl's leg would just pop back. That's when you know there was sparks.
We pulled apart after what felt like forever.
"That. Was-"
"Amazing," Ponyboy finished my sentence. The porch lights turned on, I bet it was my father spying.
"Well…goodnight Ponyboy," I said opening the front the door.
"Night Lucy," he said before turning and walking down the pathway.
I had the best date ever, everything went perfectly, I thought as I climbed into bed.
