Copy cat life

During Spanish I had two things on my mind why I’m in Spanish that HELP! Spanish was the last class of the day and of course the boring and stupid class is the longest. I always say one phase when she ask me a question “No hablan espansol”. The Outsiders were on my mind because all real books I read will come true. I guest it true my father die after a fire looking for people in September 11, 2000 and my mom die in September 11, 2001. The same day but a different year. Also that everything is class in two things Socs and Greasers. Most people in my class are socs and always showing it. Well maybe just the girls well most of them for the boys except one are grease. My friend Ellen and I are grease. T.J. is the only boy who is a soc in the class. Remember I said class not town or city. Well greasers are lower then middle class and wilder too. We are the one the drives fixed cars and are shoplifters not that I do that one of my older brother was either behead me or kill me. The state say that we can stay together as long as we stay of trouble. The socs are the rich kids the ones who jumped us the one who get into big trouble (not the game). The one who get their names in the paper. Well the bell rang and I run out of school as fast as I can. It was the weekend! I thought thing can not get worse. I saw the red car following the me. I was afraid my blood was ice cold. I started to run faster the car pull up in front of me. Four socs came out I can tell that they were drunk.
“Hey grease”, one of them said, “where are you going so fast
and in a hurry?”
“Leave me along what are you doing this far in our
neighborhood you better watch it!”, I said frighten.
“No you better watch it”, another said back to me. That did help anything especial my feeling. He continued, “You can sure use a hair cut.”
I backed up and ran they had me down in a second. They took out a knife I round over then they dragged me so my face got cut up by the rocks. They put the knife by my neck I realized that they can kill me. I started to screamed for my brothers and sister. Before I knew it everyone was jumping up and running. Then some one was hauling me on my feet then shaking me and dusting me off.
“Did they hurt you too bad, baby” Ivan said.
“No, they didn’t” I said. I thought I was going to cry but that is one thing you don’t do in front of Ivan. I just hold it in that was hurt to do.
“My gosh Chisy baby are you O.K.? They put out a knife on
you.”, Adam said as he licked a napkin form his back pocket and put it on my neck and then he notice I was about to cry then he said, “They are not going to hurt you no more come on”
Ivan is my older brother. Well my oldest he is 20. He's job is to
keep me in line so to speak. He strong and handsome. He had cold
eyes a firm look he had that since Mom died hardly grim and laugh.
Sometime we get along but other time I hate him more then anything in the world. Adam is funny, kind, and sweet he can make anyone laugh. He is strong his eyes has the make people laugh and reckless and caring to them. He know me like the backs of his hands he can tell when I'm lying, sad, or mad. He is the best and plus he help me deal with Ivan. Their is two people who you have not heard about Shigh and Brandon. Shigh is 16 and nice sweet we look the same at the same age like I look just like her when she as my age. She dropped out of school a month ago. Brandon we are twins be he had to be different as in we were support to be born on Feb 28 like 11:00 p.m. to Mar 1st like 2:00 a.m., but he had to be different he was 1 day earlier and I was 8 days late. We are always together no matter what. We know everything about each other everything.
“Hey Chisy, are you O.K.”, Brandon said as Shigh and him was coming toward us.
“Yea I’m fine bro”, I said. I realized that the gang and my brothers and sisters came to help me.
The gang is the kids my brothers and sister and I grew up. There is 3 members of the gang. Joey was the oldest and Adam best buddy they were as close to he as Brandon and I and trust me that is close. He is 18 like Adam when Adam was in school he drop out when he was 16 to help Ivan support us he was in the same school and class for every grade. They even work together Adam work full time and Joey half time. Robert is a little scary at least for me not sure for anyone else. He can get mad real easy and he is not afraid to kill anyone. Last but not least Peter the gang “pet” everyone little brother he has it bad at home. If you can picture a little tiny kitten that being put around too much. He is Brandon and my best bubby too.
“Chisy are you OK?”, Brandon ask again, “Are you absolutely sure?”
“I fine and I sure”, I said.
“What are you doing walking home alone? Why did you get one of us to come pick you up or one of us will walk with you?”, Robert said. Who just came over to us chase the car off by throw rocks. Leave it to good old Robert to bring that up. Lighting a smoking and giving Peter it then light one for him pass the box and we all took one then light it. We all relax by smoking.
“Anyone will have pick you up”, Joey said.
“Well I never thought that I will be jumped?”, I said.
“You never think outside of school do you?”, Ivan said. Here he goes again I thought rolling my eyes.
“Sometimes besides I like to walk”
“If you had to go alone carry a blade”
“Listen here do not bug my littlest sis got it. So she like to walk alone for school it isn’t her problem the socs jump us. Yea real smart carrying a blade yea great reason for the socs to cut her up more”, Adam said
“When I want help with my kid sis I’ll asked you kid bro get it”, Ivan said. He sometime listen to Adam sometimes. He lay off me for now.
“O.K. you two cool down lets go home make dinner and then
talk about your feeling”, Shigh said about to laugh.
“You love to do that right Dr. Phil?”, Adam said while Ivan
looked like that he want to knock all our heads together.
“Yea!”, Shigh answered. I forget to tell you sometime my name is Kristen and I live where The Outsiders took place. Great huh? That night Shigh and Brandon went to sleep early they got tried easily. I was working on homework.
“Chis, come on I have work tomorrow shut the light.”, Adam
said. I was going to by I want to finish first, but I did what I was told. I shut the light then crawled into bed. I started to think about the socs who jumped me and then mom and dad. I started to shake.
“You cold?” Adam said. Adam and I sleep together because
Shigh and Brandon hog the bed so they sleep together in the same
room as Ivan.
“A little” I lied.
“Listen Ivan does not mean half the he say k you should know that it just that your the baby and he trying to make something out you got it.” He said. As he put his arm around me.
“O.K. why you dropped out of school?” I never got over it.
“Because I’m dumb the only thing I was pass was ever thing
that was hands on like gym. Now be quit and I’ll tell something but
don’t tell Ivan k, I going to married Danielle. I guess I’ll what until you guys are out school, so I can help Ivan with the bills and stuff.”
“And to keep him from kicking me out.”
“Baby, I told you he does not mean what he say”
“O.K.”
“Now tell me you understand”
“I understand, Adam.”
“I love you. Good night.”
“Me too. Night”
As I look at him and I wonder the how he can be so handsome. That do he mean what he said about Ivan did he love me or Adam was wrong. Maybe he didn’t know what he said because he was to tried. All I know he was the best thing to come in my life.
