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

"Hey Lucy" I felt a pair of hands cover my eyes, blinding me.

"Who is it?" I asked even though I knew who was behind me.

"Guess," a male voice said.

"Justin Bieber?"

"No!"

"Taylor Launter?"

"C'mon Lucy it's me," the voice said.

"Oh! It's my boyfriend Ponyboy!" I said laughing. I turned around to see Ponyboy in a black V-neck, black jeans, and black sneakers. He gave me a quick peck on the lips.

"How was your day?" he asked.

Closing my locker I replied "Good, I'm just glad it's over and it's Friday, You?"

"It was alright, a bunch of us are going to the roller skating ring down town, so do you want to come?"

"Yeah, I'd love to, can I bring Alicia?"

"Sure, the more the merrier."

"So what time should I be there?"

"Around seven, what are you going to do after?" Ponyboy asked.

"I guess I'll sleepover Alicia's," I said with a shrug.

"What do you do at a sleepover, have pillow fights? Watch the twilight movies over and over?" he teased.

"Ha-ha-ha that's what you think Ponyboy!" I giggled.

"I have to go, I'll see you later okay?"

"OK," I said kissing him again.

Later on that night, I met up with Alicia in front of the ring. "Hey, were you waiting long?" I asked her.

"No, but I can't wait to go in," she said excitedly. Alicia was my new best friend; I met her after I got back from New York. Since then we've been inseparable. Alicia was petite; she stood about 5'2 and was curvy.

She had brown hair and green gray eyes. We walked in together looking around for the boys.

We spotted them at a table a couple of feet's away. We greeted them as we put our stuff down.

I watched Alicia give Devein a hug, it was obvious they liked each other, but neither of them would admit it.

Devein is sixteen, average height, brown hair pulled back into a ponytail and vivid blue eyes.

Ponyboy got up and hug me as well.

"Do you want to go get your skates?"

I nodded my head yes, he led me to the booth. "Can I have a size six?" I requested.

The bald man handed me a pair of old white leather skates.

After I laced them up, Ponyboy and I stepped onto the ring. We held hands as we slowly glided in a circle.

I was a terrible skater, while Ponyboy was naturally talented.

"I need to use the bathroom, will you be okay alone?"

I searched for Alicia and found her a couple of yards behind me.

"Yeah, I'll just wait for Alicia to catch up,"

I watched as he skated away before standing there idly waiting for Alicia, when i felt my feet give under me.

My bottom met the floor, causing a thunder of pain to shoot up my body. I looked up to see cherry staring down at me.

"Next time watch where you're going!" she growled.

I sighed to my self before getting back up. It wasn't a surprise, ever since Ponyboy and I were official Cherry's gone out of her way to make my life harder then it already is. I knew she had a crush on him, but she never told him or anything.

Alicia raced up to me, "Are you okay?" she asked inspecting my back side.

"I'm fine, I just need to go to the bathroom," I said before racing of to the restroom and moving to a sink to splash my face with water. I heard the door open, so I ran into one of the stall, getting up onto the toilet I brought my leg up to my chest.

"Did you see when I pushed her? Oh my gosh her face was priceless," I heard Cherry say. I peaked through the space to see her applying lip gloss to her already red lips.

"Yeah I did," I heard her want to be friend Marissa say. Marissa would agree with anything Cherry said, Cherry was the puppet master, and Marissa was the puppet. I bet if Cherry went and jumped of a bridge, Marissa would follow.

"Are you going to do anything else?" Marissa asked.

"Mark my word, by Christmas time, Ponyboy will be mine," Cherry said walking out the door. I waited for a few minutes before I left the bathroom and went to find Alicia.

"Lucy! Devein just asked me out" she said jumping for joy.

"That's great,"

I was haunted by Cherry's words.
