I walked in the door and headed for my room, but of course Danny stopped me like he normally does.
"Sit down B," he said pushing me towards the couch.
I didn't think he'd call me B. Dad use to call that when I was little and now since he died we never bring it up anymore. Something was up. I knew that because of the way Danny's eyes looked. They looked really inoccent and sad. I sat down on the couch and saw Sherri cooking dinner. I was starving mostly because I didn't eat any breakfast, other that bread I ate earlier.
"Beka I have some bad news," Danny said
All of a sudden Sherri turned around like she has never herd it before. I looked back at Danny with a puzzled look on my face and tried not to act like I didn't wanna hear it.
"What is it?" I said anxlessly
Suddenly we herd a scream come for the kitchen. I jumped up and sprinted down the hallway smelling smoke as I got closer and closer. I saw Sherri bolt out of the kitchen nearly hitting me as she passed. She wasn't good in situations like that. She always just paniced leaving me or Danny to deal with it. I grabbed a glass of water i found on the table and threw it on the fire. After it went out we just ate some sandwitches.
"Hey Danny, I have a question," I said outta the blue.
"What's up kid?" he replyed taking little pieces of bread out of his teeth with a tooth pick.
"What's a greaser?" I asked
That must have caught his attention because he completely stopped what he was doing and looked up at me. So did Sherri
"A greaser is a person who has his hair slicked back and fights," Sherri answered.
"Why you wanna know that?" Danny asked
"I herd some people calling this guy a greaser," I lied.
"Oh okay," Danny said continuing what he was doing
I took off my jacket forgetting my shirt has a huge rip on the back of it were I got cut and went to hang it up. When I got back Danny's eyes widened.
"Uhhh Beka what happened to your back?" he asked turning me around so Sherri could see.
"Nothing," I said trying to excape from Danny's grasp so Sherri wouldn't see.
"You got beat up didn't you?" Sherri said
"Ya.....they called me a greaser that's why I wanted to know what it was."
Did you go out with out telling anyone?"
"No Danny said I could," I said looking at Danny.
Soon she too was looking a Danny but she had an angrey look on her face.
"Why the hell did you let her go out alone?"
"I thought it would be ok if she went out for a little" he said.
His voice was quivering and I knew he was scared. Sherri is scary when she's angrey.
"Well it's not, look at her she got slashed on the back with a knife and you think it's allright,"
"No i don't think it's okay Sherri, I as worried about her as you are!" Danny said raising his voice a little.
Sherri didn't even say a word for a long time, and she useally gets the last word when they fight. It hate seeing them fight, it scares me and makes me think that one of these day's someone's gunna get hurt.
"It's all your fault that this happened," Sherri mumbled
I guess Danny herd cuz he stormed out of the room grabbing a pack of ciggeretts of the counter and I herd the door slam.
"Why you gotta be like that Sherri?" I asked
"Because he shouldn't of let you out."
"What do you mean? I thought I was ready," I said confedently
"Well you ain't ok? Look what happened to you!"
"Sher i'm twelve I think i'm capable of having some responsability of myself."
"Beka your just a kid, You not even a teenager yet and you think I can trust you out there on your own?"
I can't belive she had the nerve to say that to me.
"Beka you don't understand,bad things can happen to ya and I just don't want you to get hurt anymore."
I just stood there looking at her like I was going to cry.
"No you don't get it, your just so over protective and I never get any freedom around here no more! I need to learn how to take care of my self because I can't run to your or Danny to solve all my problems for me!" I yelled tearing up a bit
"I just don't want you to end up like mom and dad did,and I know you will if I let you off on your own!"
At that point I was done. I ran to my room with tears running down my cheeks. How could she say that to me? For some reason I had no control of my emotions. I was sad one moment then happy the next. What if Sherri was right? What if I do end up like Mom and Dad? I had so many questions that I didn't have the answer to it was making me more sadder and sadder every time I thought about them. I bawled all night long non-stop. Danny came in my room and sat on my bed.
"Sherri is just a jerk sometimes," He said
"Ya I figured that out already," I said looking down at the floor.
"Look Beka,you have remember we are all she has."
"I know Danny. I just want her to get off my back sometimes you know?"
"I do" he said putting his warm hand on my leg.
"Oh why did they jump a girl like you in the first place?" he questioned
"I don't know they might have thought I was a guy because I look like one with the short hair and all," I replyed
"Well you don't look like a guy to me," He said smilling.
A little while later we herd footsteps coming down the hallway to my room. Of course it was Sherri, who else would it be?
"Hey just wanted to see if you guys were ok." she said inoccently.
I knew what she said was a lie. She was probally cheaking if we hadn't run away or jumped out our windows. Besides, I got no where to go anyway.
"Ya we are," I said looking away
"Sorry I lashed out on you like that,I didn't mean it," she appologized
"We know you didn't Sher," Danny said hugging her as she sat down on the bed.
"Look I'm really tired,can I go to bed?" I said rubbing my eyes
"Ya sure kid," Danny wispered as he russled my hair
I love it when he does that.
"Night," Sherri said walking out of my room and shutting the door.
Once they left, I layed there starring at the celling slowly drifting into a deep sleep.
"Sit down B," he said pushing me towards the couch.
I didn't think he'd call me B. Dad use to call that when I was little and now since he died we never bring it up anymore. Something was up. I knew that because of the way Danny's eyes looked.

You look in amazement at your boyfriend Ponyboy. Is he really friends with this geek?
Ponyboy smiles and nods, telling you “I know this kid is a frickin insane genius.”
“Well… That’s interesting.” You say.
You look at Ponyboy. “So how much do we have to leave for a tip?” You were at the diner, hanging out for lunch.
“She was a quality waitress, so 20%. We each owe her 1 dollar.” Ross pipes up. He starts to make hand gestures to explain the process.”Since the bill was 15 dollars, we each paid 5 dollars. 20% of 15 is 3… So it’d be a 3 dollar tip, one dollar each.”
You look at him, stunned.
You could not to do math to save your life.
“You should have him along more often.” You whisper to Ponyboy.
You woke up of he teacher yelling at you. "Y/N wake up right now" she said. You woke up and looked up. Everyone was looking at you , including Ponyboy. "Sorry" you said and opened your book to the page she told you. After ten minutes of listening the bell rang. You closed your book and walked out of the class. You walked to your last class. You loved that class cause most your friends were in it. You only had like four friends but it was still fun. You and your friends always sat by each other in the back. You would always get into trouble. The four of you started to laugh. One if your friends threw something at a kids head. "Ladies in the back stop laughing" the teacher said. You stopped for awhile. You other friend would ask stupid questions to make you guys laugh. You were laughing so hard. "Y/N please go to Mrs. Landers room" the teacher said. "Okay" you said you grabbed your stuff and walked out. You walked into Mrs. landers room to see Ponyboy was in there.
"I can't believe you guys are drunk again!" You yelled as you ran out. You're parents were drunk again, you couldn't stand it when they were, or when anyone was because you were scared bad things might happen when people are drunk. You ran as fast as you could until you reached the DX, Steve was standing outside leaning on a car. "Hey Savannah, what happened?" "My parents were drunk again, I can't stand it when they are, I'm just so scared when that happens." "Hey, don't worry, I'll protect you." Steve hugged you and you found your arms around his neck. You guys embraced each other with the glimmering moon light it the background. "Savannah, I'll show you how to fix up cars." He held your hand and brought you to the back of the DX.
