I went back to school two days later. The police station called again a few times to see if I wanted to try talking to my parents again but I quickly said no. It was something I would never be open up to doing.

Sodapop and Steve said that the guys in the red car had stopped by the DX, but they didn't get the other guys' names, though. They all suggested I try talking to Cherry and Marcia again about it, since they could have found out more since the last time I asked them. "I have an idea," Cherry siad as the three of us walked down the hall.

"What?..." I asked hesitantly.

"You come to our part of town and hang out with us and we can all get to know these guys!"

"Great plan," I said sarcastically, "One problem."

"How are we gonna get Rain there and make sure she doesn't get hurt?" Marcia asked what I was about to.

"We'll just have to disguie you like a Soc." Cherry shrugged.

"I don't have any clothes that I could believably pass as a Soc, Cherry."

"Remember that time in gym class that you left your gym clothes at your house and I let you borrow my extra pair in my locker?"

"Yeah, why?"

Cherry and Marcia both smiled. I finally realized what they were thinking, "No… no, not happening."

"But Rain, it's the only way you can find out who they are without them knowing who you are." Cherry tried to sound persuasive.

"It's also the only way without you getting hurt. No offense, but we all know that if you walked through our part of town that half the guys there would try to hurt you," Marcia added. I knew she was right.

"I don't know… it's pretty risky if you ask me. And how would we even do that? If I walked through my part of town dressed like you two, half the guys would follow me around or there are even girls who would try to do something to me."

"Well Marcia and I were gonna hang out with those guys this weekend to try to get to know them since they're new in town with a group. I could say you're my cousin from outta town."

"But how am I going to get there, I only blend in with a crowd if I'm with Greasers."

"We can meet somewhere in between where both Socs and Greasers go,and it would have to be early in the morning."

I sighed, "I'll think about it… let me talk to my other friends about it and see what they say I should do."

They both nodded and we said goodybe as we all went our separate ways for our next classes… I honestly didn't feel too good about this plan. There were so many things that could go wrong with it. They could recognize me. Maybe they wouldn't believe that I was a Soc. There was just so much that could go wrong that I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to act like a Soc, talk like a Soc, anything. The only thing I really knew about them was the stereotype known to every Greaser in Tulsa that was the reason both groups hated each other, and that from the Socs I had actually gotten to know, not all of them were such horrible people that Greasers had always made them out to be.

I met up with Two-Bit and Ponyboy like I did everyday after school. Two-Bit wrapped his arm around my shoudlers and kissed my cheek. I smiled and pecked his lips, earning an eye roll from Ponyboy, which should've offended me, but made me laugh instead. "You won't be rolling your eyes when you get your first girlfriend," Two-Bit patted Pony's head. He chuckled and pulled his head away.

Everybody got home from their jobs at around six o'clock. I had been pretty quiet since the walk home, considering I was thinking of when I should bring up the plan that Cherry and Marcia thought up. We cleaned up after dinner and I decided to bring it up. "I talked with Cherry and Marcia about Griffin and his little crew again, today," I started.

All eyes were on me now. "What'd they say?" Darry asked.

"Well, they still don't know much about the but they had an idea of a way we could find out…"

"What was their idea?" Pony asked with a confused look.

I bit my lip. "Their idea is that, I… I go with them and their friends this weekend to their part of town and hang out with them and a bunch of other Socs."

Two-Bit's eyes widened. "Wait, what?!"

"And how the hell do they expect that to work?" Steve asked, clearly unconvinced that their plan wouldn't work.

"Cherry said that she could lend me osme of her stuff, cause we wear the same size."

Soda looked confused. "How do you know that you two wear the same size?"

"Cause she let me borronw her gym clothes once at school."

Two-Bit sighed, "Rain, I don't know about this. What if you're found out?"

I shrugged a little. "It was dark when they saw us. And maybe if I look different, they won't be able to tell."

"Do you really wanna go through with it?" Darry asked, unsure.

"It's the only way… and if I do, you guys are gonna have to help me. No matter how ridiculous or hard, you all have to help us."

…Friday night…

I was in my bed staring at the the ceiling. I couldn't fall asleep. I was too nervous for sleep.

Soda and Steve agreed to let us use the DX… more like Soda convinced Steve. Since Steve is the king of all Soc-hating Greasers, only his best friend could convince him to help… anyway, they would open the DX earlier and I would go in through the back door. I would go to the bathroom and wait for Cherry and Marcia there. They would get in through the back door too then come to the bathroom. Cherry's parents were out of town, so she'd be able to get outta the house early on a Saturday and have no one be suspicious. She would bring an extra pair of clothes that I would change into and they'd help me change my hair or whatever. Soda would take the bag with my clothes and put it in his locker or in the back at the DX. Then at the end of the day,we would all meet at the Dingo so I could change back into my clothes and give Cherry her's back. One thing that made this plan easier, was the Marcia got Randy and his crew to help us out since they didn't bother Greasers anymore.

I looked at my clock… 12:37am… I sighed in frustration at the time. There was a knock on my door. "Come in," I said even though I wasn't too sure who it was - I was just thankful that I wore a sweatshirt and pajame pants since it was chilly, instead of my usual t-shirt and shorts.

The person walked in and turned on my bedside table lamp and sat on the edge of my bed. "Two-Bit, what're you doing here?" I asked.

He shrugged a bit. "Just wanted to see how you were doing cause I know before you were quiet… you doing ok?"

I sat up. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

He shrugged again. "I don't know… you just seemed nervous before, that's all."

"Why would I be nervous?..."

"Rain, c'mon it's late, don't play that game."

I looked up and hugged my knees into my chest, then buried my chin between them. "I'm scared for tomorrow…" My voice was quiet, and I let out a nervous chuckle.

"You don't have to be scared. You can do it, plus we'll all be helping you."

"But what if I'm found out? They will literally kill me and you know it."

"Ok, I wasn't supposed to tell you this, but don't tell Darry I did," his voice was quiet, "He's having us all not too far behind you all. But far enough where none of will get hurt, but if something happens to you, we'll be there."

I chuckled at that. "It's just crazy that this is the only way… I don't even act or talk like a Soc."

"Act like you have everything handed to you on a silver platter," he teased.

I chuckled again and pushed him a little by the shoulder. "I'm serious."

He took my hand in his. "You're gonna be fine, and you're gonna do great, I know it… look, I'm sleeping on the couch tonight so if you need anything, I'll be here. Alright?" I nodded. He stood up, kissed my forehead, then walke dout closing the door behind him him, quietly saying "goodnight". I layed back down on my bed and fell asleep.
