                 ~ August 21st 1966 ~

I walk past Dally's room. There has always been a box on top of his bed. Its addressed to me, to open August 22nd 1966. It has almost been a year since Dally died. And living alone, almost homeless is hard. But at least I have some old friends that I hope will help...

                     ~ July 6th 1965 ~

I walk up to the Curtis' house knocking on their door. " Soda! Is Dally in there ?" Ponyboy opens the door. " Oh Brodi, I didn't expect you to be here." I scan Pony's face and say in a confident, annoyed tone. "Where's Dally?" Pony makes a deep sigh then says " Dally is out with Soda taking a walk." I nod my head then let myself into their house.

As I sit on their couch I say " damn this place is a dump." I place my legs on their coffee counter. " you got a cancer stick?" Pony walks over and hands me a stick. " you know you shouldn't be smoking. Your only 14. " I stare at Pony while lighting the stick and taking a small inhale of smoke puffing it out.       " says you, your the same age and you smoke a pack a day almost." I take another hit from the stick and laugh.

Pony gives me an annoyed stare. He continues to talk. " so I can see you are working on new styles" I laugh then put out my cancer stick out on their counter. I stand up " yeah. "  Pony then says " well, plz show, and tell me about it. "  I've always loved re doing clothes. I start to point out the different clothes i re-done. " so I decided to cut my shirt in half. " Pony smiles then says " go on." I point out my shorts. So I decided to cut shorts. But I think I cut them too short." Ponyboy looks at me like a smart ass.

" you think?" I look at Pony then continue. " so also, I decided to wear a bandana, but on my leg." Pony was confused. " why on your leg?" I answer back " I don't know, I like to try out new things. But anyways I'm also wearing my white high-top converse."  After I said that I heard somebody at the door. Dally and Soda walk in. I run and hug Dally. He was surprised at first. " woah okay. I didn't know I would be missed so much" I say in a cocky tone. " you weren't. I just wanted Soda."

I walk over to soda, and put my arms around him. Soda does the same back to me. I could tell Pony kept looking at my outfit. Dally noticed. " Hey Brodi, go change you look like a whore with your ass hanging out of those shorts." I hear Pony trying not to laugh as I walk over to Soda making a pouting face. I slightly look up at Soda. " do you think I need to change?" Soda smiles and rolls his eyes.  "I don't think you need to change"

I look over at Dally. " see I told you, i don't need to change, and why do you even care?" Dally walks over and sits on the couch where i was. " well first of all your 14, your my younger sister, and over all I think I should care" As Dally lights a cancer stick he notices mine on the counter. " who's is this?" Pony points at me with his stick in his hand. Right after he puts it out on a piece of wood next to him.

I walk away from Soda. But then he grabs my arm. " Brodi, I thought Dally and I told you to stop smoking"  I start to get defensive. " Well Pony gave me one." Dally looks over at Ponyboy. " did you give her one?" I get annoyed and walk out the front door.
