I went to homeroom, afraid of which of the four Socs would be en up being a Sophomore. I got to the room and saw the one who was named Caleb. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes. I walked past his seat, looking down in case he recognized me. He gave me a dirty look as I walked past to my seat, and I never thought I would be so happy to get a dirty look from a Soc.

…the end of the day…

I headed to the entrance of the school to meet up with Two-Bit and Ponyboy but someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into a closet. They closed the door and locked it. "Open this door, I growled and turned to face the person, who I saw was Caleb.

"Look, I just gotta ask you something," he said.

"And you had to pull me into a closet to ask a question?"

He rolled his eyes at my sarcasm. "Watch yourself, Grease… look, do you got a relative from Georgia named Rose?"

My heart pounded in my chest. "No, I don't. Now let me out of this damn closet."

He unlocked the door and I ran out to the front steps. Ponyboy was sitting reading. "Where's Two-Bit?" I asked him. He looked up from the book, "He went back inside to look for you. Where were you anyway?" "I'll tell you later," I said then went back into the school to find him.

I saw Two-Bit with Caleb. "Don't you ever grab my girl's arm again, you got that?"

"I was just asking her a question. And you don't tell me what to do, Grease, or you'll be sorry," Caleb threatened and narrowed his eyes.

Before Two-Bit had a chance to respond, I ran over to him and put my hand on his arm, "Ready to go?" He nodded a bit, then glared at Caleb as we walked away. Ponyboy was still sitting there reading when we got outside. "You had me nearly scared to death," I said to Two-Bit when we started walking. "What happened?" Ponyboy asked.

"He nearly got into a fight with one of those Socs."

"That guy had his hand son you, Rain. You really thought I was gonna let that go?" Two-Bit asked.

I sighed. "I guess not. But please don't scare me like that."

….a few hours later…

"Who's that girl with Steve?" I asked Ponyboy. The two of us looked out the window while the rest got back from their jobs and walked up to the house. Ponyboy shrugged, "Never saw her in my life." They all got to the door and Ponyboy and me quickly sat back down and went back to our homework. Steve had his arm around the girl and I guessed it was Evie, though I could've been wrong. Two-Bit sat next to me on the couch, wrapped his arm around my shoulders, and kissed my cheek. "Who's that?" I whispered nodding toward Steve and the girl/

"His girlfriend Evie," he whispered back.

My eyes widened a bit. "So that's Evie…"

He nodded. "She wanted to meet the girl brave enough to spend a day with Socs and live through it… and she didn't believe that I had a girlfriend who I've been with for more than a month."

I laughed and Steve and Evie came by us. "So you're Rain?" Evie smiled.

I smiled and nodded back. "That's me…. You're Evie?"

She was still smiling and nodded.

The guys all suggested that the two of us go out and get to know each other since it was weird that I had really no friends who were girls. Not just Cherry and Marcia cause we couldn't really go out and hang out with each other like I could if I became friends with Evie. But not without a fair warning that she would not hesitate to speak her mind and she just said whatever she thought.

The two of us went to the Dingo to meet up with two of her other friends, Suzie and Candy. Apparently, Candy was the girl that Soda went out with that night, and they had another date planned over the weekend. The three of them all went to my high school, apparently. Evie was a junior, Candy was a sophomore like me, and Suzie was a freshman. There weren't many Greasers in my homeroom, but apparently, Candy was always there. Suzie apparently had a major crush on Ponyboy but whenever she was gonna try to talk to him, she got cold feet, which I actually thought was pretty adorable if you ask me. It seemed while I was with them, I adjusted quickly to talking with them.

"So how long have you been dating Two-Bit?" Candy asked smiling.

I felt my cheeks get pink and I tried to hold back a smile, "A few months."

Evie spoke up, "Have you guys…"

I realized what she meant. "NO!... um, I don't… I don't, ya know, before I'm married."

She nodded. "Understandable. Man, when Steve said you were different from other Greaser girls, he wasn't kidding." She gave a smile.

"I remember when Two-Bit dumped Kathy," Suzie said.

"Well, she had it coming. She always went on about how she didn't like him hanging around you and the rest of them boys so much. She seemed clingy if you ask me," Candy shrugged.

"He told me he wasn't for the jealous type," I said.

"If ya ask me, she was a pain in the behind," Evie shrugged.

"What about Sandy?" Evie asked.

I scoffed, "She cheated on Sodapop."

"And Candy over here was jumping for joy when she found out that Sodapop Curtis was on the market," Evie laughed and Suzie laughed with her.

Candy put her hands up in defense. "I can't help it that he's cute and sweet," she chuckled.

I laughed again. "She's got a point. I'll admit, he is a sweetheart."

Candy pointed at me and looked at Evie and Suzie, "I like her." We all busted out laughing. "Ok, and what about you, Suzie? Ponyboy?"

She shrugged and her cheeks got pink. "He's so sweet. And adorable, and smart and-"

Evie snapped her fingers in front of Suzie's face. "Earth to Suzie."

"What about you and Steve?" I asked her.

"Do not get her started, please. She'll never stop," Candy said rolling her eyes.

Evie huffed, "Fine… now Rain." I gave a questioning look. She looked around the Dingo then back at me. "How did you survive being with Socs all last Saturday?" she whispered.

Candy looked at me with wide eyes. Suzie nearly choked on her drink. "You did what?!" she coughed.

"It was this thing I had to do to find out the names of the Socs who jumped me and Two-Bit one night," I explained, "But you guys can't tell anyone about it, got it?" They all nodded, Suzie crossed her heart.

…that night…

Evie, Candy and Suzie weren't bad at all. I had never had real friends who were girls. I always knew the gang and that was it I mean, I talked with Angela Shepard sometimes, but we weren't close. And you can't really count Cherry and Marcia cause like I said, we could never go and hang out on the weekends or after school or something. I know they had reputations, and I didn't wanna ruin them.

I was sitting outside with Two-Bit again on the front steps of the house. "So how was hangin' out with Evie?" he asked.

"It was actually pretty fun. I met her two other friends, Candy and Suzie," I answered.

"Good, now you have other friends who aren't guys like a regular teenage girl." He joked.

I hit his arm playfully. "You're a pain, ya know that?" I teased and he laughed.

Hi! Ok, so when I put this chapter on watt pad, I said this as well, when I made up the other girls (Candy and Suzie) I forgot about Sandy from the book and that the two girls names rhymed… I didn't mean for that to happen so just leave it and there's no irony in that, cause it's just Candy's nickname for Candice (one of my best friend's names) cause I even have last names for the three girls and Candy is Hispanic so yeah, there ya go
