His Soc Sister

One

Kate

It's hard to say when Dally actually accepted that I was a soc and not a greaser. Yes I may be the sister to one, though no one knows. Not even the other gang members, or my friends. Just Emily, she's my best and probably my only friend. Sure I may talk to some other girls but none of them know my home life at all. Neither does my boyfriend Kirk. 

Dally can't stand him. I hate that he can't just get along with him. I've thought about telling him for awhile but he would break up with me if I told him where I came from. No I'm not ashamed of my family it's just they are perceived as scum and worthless. 

They're not, I hate that when people walk by Dally they say grease along with all of these other things. People think he's hard but he's soft he cares so much about his friends especially Johnny and Ponyboy since they're the youngest. 

I've wanted to meet them but Dally doesn't want the title of a greaser to weigh me down. Anyway I'm Kate Winston 17 and I'm a Soc, I have long dark brown hair like Dally's, green eyes I'm not tall but I'm not short either. Emily has a lighter brown shade of hair then me with dark eyes. 

Sometimes I joke that she looks more like Dally then me. She's had a crush on Dally for years and still does. She knows he'd never date a soc. 

"What you thinkin' about?" Kirk asks me as he notices me staring out the window of his corvette. "Oh nothing just random things," I give him a glance. He's focused on the road. "I gotta tell you somethin," he pulls into where I meet Emily everyday to study.

"What?" I ask spinning in my seat to face him. "You know that greaser that got pummiled by the soc's," I nod everyone at school was talking about it. Along with Dally he was fumming. He interigated me when he found out how Johnny almost died. He needed to know who almost killed him.

"Yeah what about it?" "I helped to bad we can't do that to all the greasers, the world would be so much better," I hold in the side of me that wants to mouth off to him. "How bad did you beat him up?" I ask getting a sick feeling in my stomach. "Pretty bad if his friends didn't come along there would be one less greaser on the streets," 

I quickly get outta the car and into the dinner I'd know I'd lose it of I stayed in that car one more second. I hear him yelling after me but I ignore it. I love Kirk but sometimes I don't how much I can take of him. 

I'll have to tell Dally. I'm surprised when I come home and see Dally he was in jail again. I though I'd have to visit him.

"How was school sis?" He flicks the ashes of his cigarette on the floor. "It was okay, I know a few people that hurt Johnny,"

His head shoots up. "Who?" I look down at my shoes, I can already feel the tears. "It was Kirk and his friends,"

"Imma beat the shit outta him, it's over between you two," he grabs my arm and drags me out the door.

"Where we going?" I ask. "To see the gang they gotta know,"
