Chapter 1 (Alissa POV)

My name is Alissa Jade Matthews. I'm 16 I have short brown hair with red highlights. I have gray eyes, I'm said to be attractive but I don't believe it. Last year my last living relative (my mom) was on her death bed, and our last conversation was:

"Your brother Keith and I love you very much. Your eyes look just like his. He couldn't stand it here after your father died. Find him and tell him to raise you like your own. I love you grow up happy with your brother."

"Mom , I love you to but don't leave me. You can't leave me Mom." And just like that she was gone forever out of my life.

That was exactly one year ago. I am still frequently searching for a Keith Matthews. I've been to: New York, Florida, Los Angeles, North and South Carolina, Hawaii, and am now in the state of Oklahoma. I'm pretty good at following my gut but when it said to come here,I laughed.

Here I am in a weird little town, that's split up into two sides East and West. The single most important thing is that your either a Soc or a Greaser. Honestly a greaser sounds more fun. It's amazing what you can learn on a Greyhound bus, while listening to complete strangers.
