Chapter 1
The door slamming should have been my first clue that Darry was home. But I was so stoned that I didn't know who I was much less what time it was. I guess I finally clued in when Darry was yellin' at me. It's funny that until that moment, there was no Darry, no gang.no me. Now I know what you're thinking. I shouldn't be getting high. But if you lived my life you would too. I don't do it because I like it. Hell, I hate getting high but it's the only way I can get away. You stop thinking when you're high. Thinking's fine unless you think too hard. Sometimes I think too hard and that's what scares me.I realize the truth. And the truth is, I'm a nobody.
**********************************
Well actually I'm a Greaser, but Greaser and nobody is all the same in my book. My name's Caretta Curtis but I've been called Carrot for as long as I can remember. Almost all of us Curtis' have original names, except my oldest brother, Darryl. There's Sodapop (and that ain't a nickname, even says Sodapop Curtis on his birth certificate), and there's Ponyboy. Now, me and Ponyboy are real close. We're twins, which means our mom had the both of us in her stomach at the same time. I can feel how he's feelin' even if I'm not around him, and we hate being separated. Soda says that when we were little, if you tried to take one of us and leave the other, we'd holler until we were back together. I think that's why being nothin hurts the way it does. Because Ponyboy's real smart, he could be anything he wanted to be but because we're Greasers he won't.
Anyways, Darry was yellin at me (I still don't know what he said) and I was just sitting there grinning like an idiot, when Dally came in. Darry didn't even stop yellin but Dally grinned at me and made faces behind Darrys back until Darry yelled "Dallas Winston if you think I don't know what you're doing than you're dumber than I thought!"
I laughed and dally ran out to the kitchen to bum a smoke. He could have asked me. I got about a million hidden in the room me and Ponyboy and Soda share. But he wouldn't if Darry was there. You didn't do a lot of stuff while Darry was there. He was sort of the leader even though he'd be the first to say that we had no leader.
Us Greasers are family. Theres me and my brothers, Dallas Winston, Two Bit Matthews, Johnny Cade and Steve Randle. I like Steve even though Ponyboy don't. I think he's nice, at least sometimes he is. Other times he's a real jerk but so's everyone at some point in the week. This morning, the whole gang was at our house, which they usually are anyways. Ponyboy was on the porch writing in a notebook. He's always doing that. That's what makes him different from the rest of us. He's always reading and writing and tries to act interested when we talk about fights but I know he'd rather be off somewhere just thinking. The country probably. Ponyboy has this obsession with the country. Says it's really peaceful there, a place where you can just sit and think for as long as you want. I don't see why anyone would want to go there. I like the town we live in. There's always something going on. Take last week ant the Drive in. there was this big fight over something that nobody could remember. Ponyboy left as soon as it started but I stayed to watch and even threw a few punches myself. It was great.
Well this morning I knew something was up. It was the way everyone was sitting, all tense. Two Bit was watching Mickey Mouse but he had the sound turned up real loud. He usually watches it on mute. So I knew something was going on but I didn't know what. Yet.
