Broken Stranger- Part 9

Thanks to @ithoughtofthisusername for editing! 

Summary: Torri (O/C) needs to escape her life in Seattle because of her abusive husband. When she ends up in Charming things don’t go as planned.

part-1/ part-2 / part-3/ part-4 /part-5/ part-6 / part-7 / part-8

“How I am supposed to stay home and not do anything for a whole week?” I mumbled, mostly talking to myself.

“I’ll talk te Jax and see if I can ge’ some time away this week. Things with the club are quiet fer now so it shouldna be a problem.” Chibs looked over at me, his hand rubbing my thigh while I sat in the passenger side of the car.

“No, it’s okay, I'll be fine. Just going to need to ask Juice if I can use one of his many laptops for a few days so I can work on switching my nursing license over. Being a bartender isn't going to support me and one baby, let alone two.”

“Yer no’ alone in this Torri. I will have a good amount of money coming in with this new deal we are making in the club, and I can work extra hours at the garage. Gemma has been practically begging me te, seeing as she cannae stand the new prospect.” He laughed as he looked over at me, “and ye said it yerself, Mike can track ye if yer license gets changed over,” he added, a hint of worry breaking through his previously calm and reassuring tone.  

“Chibs, I can't ask you to support me and them.” I started to rub my belly as I looked over at him when we stopped at a red light. I could see the look in his eyes, the one where he is going to repeat his earlier speech about how he is not going anywhere.

“Okay okay, I'll stop. You're a hard man to get rid of,” I joked.

“Ye wan’ me gone, jus’ say the word,” he laughed.

“I wouldn't know what to do without you,” I told him as we pulled into the driveway. Feeling my phone vibrate, I pulled it out and saw a number I didn't recognize. This wasn't the first time I got a call from a random number so I shoved it back in my bag.

“Why don't ye go lay down, I’ll make breakfast.” Chibs held the door open for me then followed me in the house. When he closed the door I turned around and faced him. Wrapping my arms around his neck I stepped up on my tip toes and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.

“Wha’ was tha’ fer?” he asked as he leaned down and place another kiss on my lips.

“Just… thanks. For being here for me, really it means more then you could know.”

“It’s really no problem lass.” He put his hand on my face and rubbed my cheek gently. “Ye been through enough shite, you deserve to be taken care of,” he added before turning around and heading towards the kitchen.

I walked over to the couch, kicked off my shoes and grabbed the remote before laying down pulling the black fuzzy blanket that had the Harley Davidson logo on it over my body before clicking on the TV.

The annoying noise of my phone buzzing drew my attention to my purse, I reached on the floor, fumbling around my bag and grabbed my phone. It was another random number. I don't know how anyone could have gotten the number of this burner phone so I knew was not my family calling.

“Babe, is it okay if I text Juice and invite him over for breakfast? I’m going to ask him to bring his laptop over so I can at least start looking up the process to transfer my nursing license here.”

“Yeah that's fine, Juicy boy is always hungry,” he laughed as he peaked his head out of the kitchen, keeping a watchful eye on the stove. “Jus’ please dinnae request the license change right now, we have to figure ou’ how te do it without tha’ arsehole finding out about it.”

“I won't, I promise I just want to see what I have to do. It sucks going to school for four years and not being able to use my degree and do what I love because of him,”  my voice faltered, mixed with emotions. Knowing Mike still had this hold over me scared the hell out of me and also angered me to no end. I'm so sick of living by someone else’s rules.

“I know, we will figure this ou’, I promise.” His voice held a reassuring tone.

Hey, wanna come over for breakfast? Chibs is cooking now. Also, I was wondering if I could use one of your old laptops for a while? And I’ve been getting calls from random numbers If I write them down can you run them and see who it is calling? Please don't tell chibs about that last part. Thanks!

Pressing send, I turned my attention back to the TV, smiling as I saw the show Friends was on. I watched all of five minutes before my tired body took over and I fell asleep. It was incredible how tired I have been. I guess growing two babies will do that to you.

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door and Chibs opening it. I felt my stomach grumble as the smell of bacon and eggs drifted around the house.

“Hey Torri, I brought that laptop for ya,” Juice said with a smile before turning his attention to Chibs, “damn, that smells good,” he said before walking into the kitchen.

“Told ye tha’ boy is always hungry,” Chibs chuckled then watched as I slowly rose from the comfy spot on the couch.

“Hungry?” he asked as I followed him into the kitchen

“Very,” I replied placing my hand over my stomach as it growled loud enough for everyone to hear. This caused Juice and Chibs to bust out laughing.

“Shut up. I'm eating for three now,” I laughed. I saw Juice’s head shoot up and look at me. Oops.

“What does that mean?” Juice asked I could see the corners of his mouth tug into a smile.

“I'm pregnant, it’s twins. I haven't told anyone but Chibs and Gemma figured it out weeks ago.”

“Can’t hide shit from Gemma,” Juice laughed. “Well congrats Torri,” he said, looking back over at me, then facing Chibs. “You're going to be a dad again Chibs?”  I could see Chibs face turn red as he looked over at me then back to Juice. It was kinda cute to see him flustered, “oh come on man, everyone knows you two are together,” Juice added.

He was right, we haven't exactly put a label on us but we haven't really been discreet about it either.

“Aye, I’m not the babies biological father, but I'm going to be their da’.” He couldn't even contain the smile he held on his lips and honestly neither could I. Chibs had already told me that, but hearing him say it to another person made it more real.

“Well, I'm happy for you both.” Juice smiled looking back and forth at us. “Now can we eat please, I'm starving,” he added as he grabbed a plate and started piling up bacon, eggs, and pancakes on it.

Chibs and I laughed then followed Juices actions. We all sat around the table talking about various things while we ate.

“Hey Juice, can you not tell anyone about the babies, please? I wasn't planning on telling anyone for a couple more weeks,” I said as I shoveled another fork full of eggs in my mouth.

“Yeah, don't worry, I won't tell anyone.” I could hardly understand him as he had a mouth half full of pancakes.

After we finished eating, I started to do the dishes. Chibs quickly took over after telling me to go lay on the couch. Juice followed me into the living room and popped open his laptop.

“Okay, what’s one of the numbers that have been calling you?” Juice said quiet enough so Chibs couldn't hear over the running water of the kitchen sink. I watched as he opened a program on his computer, handing him my phone so he could see the numbers.

I turned my attention back to the TV, which still had Freinds on. I heard Juice typing away as he sat next to me.

Setting the laptop down he got up and walked into the kitchen without saying a word, he walked back in seconds later with Chibs. I picked up the laptop and stared at the name on the screen. Michael Smith.

“I need to show you someth-” I heard Juice say to Chibs as they walked in the room but I quickly cut him off.

“How did he find this number? It's a burner phone, I did everything right; I paid cash and everything. Does he know where I am?! How did-”

“Torri, Wha’s going on?” I felt Chibs arms around my waist as I pulled my knees into my chest. Tears started streaming uncontrollably down my cheeks. How the hell did Mike get this number?

Thank you for reading =)

A Victor’s Awakening

Relationship: Uzumaki Boruto x Uchiha Sarada

Genre: Fluff

Summary: After his fight with Kawaki, Boruto wakes up from a coma three months after and greets his freinds and family. One particular friend, however, was pretty pissed off with him and slaps him the first time they meet after the fight. Oh, the life of a tsundere.

It was warm. He was laying down and it was warm. That’s the first thing Boruto feels when he wakes up. He’s laying down, it’s warm, and he’s cold. Boruto opens his eyes, but he has to close them immediately after a bright light almost blinds him. He tries again, this time squinting to make his eyes used to light.

It’s a bright LED light that’s blinding him. Definitely not the light in his room. Boruto looks up at the light, realizing it’s just like the hospital lights, and he frowns.

Boruto feels someone beside him and he turns his head. Sakura’s standing there, jotting down words on a chart and her eyebrows furrowing in concentration as she reads the papers on her clipboard.

“Aunt…Sakura?” Boruto’s voice was raspy and rough, making Boruto cough to clear his throat. He sat against the pillow on the hospital bed.

Sakura jumped at the sound of his voice, almost dropping her clipboard in the process. Her green eyes were widened comically and she held her clipboard against her mouth, as if she was hiding behind it. Then she pulled it away and leaned in close, almost yelling, “You’re awake!”

Boruto blinked and nodded, “Yeah?”

Sakura wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tight, “Thank goodness. I don’t know what we would have done if you were gone.”

Boruto smiled and tried to chuckle, but all that came out was a wheeze. He winced and whispered, “Aunt Sakura, you’re squishing me.”

Sakura immediately stopped and she pulled away, “Oh! I’m sorry.”

Boruto smiled and Sakura stepped away, a big grin on her face. Sakura chuckled and she picked up her clipboard from the bed, nodding her head fondly, “You weren’t supposed to wake up until next month.”

Boruto blinked and frowned, “Next month? How long was I asleep?”

Sakura froze and looked down at him solemnly, “Boruto…you’ve been in a coma for three months.”

“What?! In a coma?!”

“It was understandable. Your condition was pretty severe. We’re lucky you were even alive. Your curse mark saved you and the village.”

Boruto sat down and looked at his hand, his curse mark looking up ominously at him. The curse mark that defeated Kawaki. There was a time that he would have done anything to get it off of him, but he couldn’t be more grateful to have it now.

Sakura put the clipboard back in its place and turned back towards Boruto, “I’m going to let you get dressed. I’m going to go tell your paren-…”

Sakura’s voice faded away and Boruto turned to look at her, she was facing the door, her head looking down. She turned around with a panicked expression, “I’m sorry Boruto! I wasn’t supposed to-“

“I get it,” Boruto interrupted, “Go tell mom and Himawari. I’ll go down once I’m dressed.”

Sakura smiled sadly and turned towards the door.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t save Uncle Sasuke.”

Sakura stopped, a hand on the door handle, “These days, not everyone can be saved. Death comes eventually, theirs…just came earlier.”

When Sakura closed the door, Boruto swung his feet off the bed, taking a step towards the window and peering down at the village. It was still a mess. Buildings were still crumbled, debris was still on the floor, the train tracks still destroyed, and the Great Stone Faces no longer recognizable. Yet, he was smiling. Despite all the destruction, kids were running around playing tag, neighbors were greeting each other kindly, and people were hard at work fixing up the village.

Still, he will admit remembering his dad’s death still brought down his mood. It was sudden. It was brutal. And it was still a fresh wound.

Boruto stepped away from the window and grabbed a shirt by his nightstand. His shirt. He picked it up and threw it over his head, his nose not missing the scent of his mother’s favorite detergent. He then took his pants in hand. He fingered the tough material, he was almost surprised that it wasn’t caked with all the blood he lost in the fight with Kawaki.

He slipped on his pants, his eyes scanning over every new scar on his legs, and buckled his belt. Then, his hand hovered over his jacket. It was the last jacket his father ever bought for him. A sad smile tugged on his lips and he shrugged the jacket on, this time, for the first time ever, he zipped up the jacket to the top, just like his father did.

Boruto headed for the door, pausing when he sees that it has scratches on the wood. He furrowed his brows and looked around the room, surprised to see that it had cracks decorating the walls. One suspiciously looked like a fist.

He froze in his tracks.

“Oh, sh!t,” Boruto cursed under his breath. Boruto winced at the thought of what she would do to him once she sees him and almost regrets locking her up in this hospital room.

It wasn’t a smart idea, but it was the only thing Boruto could do to keep Sarada from following him to fight Kawaki. It was the only way. Naruto was sure to make the hospital the toughest building in the village for the protection of the ill and to stop Sakura from destroying it whenever she became frustrated. At least it was enough to keep her from joining in on the fight.

Boruto shook the thoughts away and turned the knob to leave his room.

When Sakura said that she was going to get his mom and his sister, Boruto was expecting to only find his mom and his sister, not half the village. The second he stepped out of the door, a loud roar almost made him deaf and he was almost tackled to the ground by his mother and sister.

“Nii-chan!”

“Oh, thank goodness!”

Boruto smiled and hugged them tight, bending down in order to place his head on his mother’s shoulder. He wrapped one arm around Himawari and one arm around his mother, letting out a breath of relief that they were safe.

Himawari looked up at her older brother, admiration clearly in her eyes as she studied his face. She tucked her head under his chin and hugged her big brother tighter. Hinata pulled away eventually and she frowned, “You had me worried sick!”

Boruto smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck, “Sorry, kaa-chan.”

“Look who rose from the dead.”

Boruto’s smile faded and he turned around to look at the new voice who joined in.

It was Shikadai, with Mitsuki, Inojin, Denki, Iwabe, and Metal following close behind. Boruto beamed at the sight of his friends and he rose offered a fist, “Hey, you guys!”

Shikadai looked down at Boruto’s fist and connected it with his own, the rest of the guys doing the same.

“Boruto!”

Again, Boruto had to turn around to find yet another group of people waiting for him. This time, it was the girls. Sumire, Cho-Cho, Wasabi, and Namida all offered bright smiles and tackled Boruto in a group hug. Boruto chuckled at the tight squishes.

“I usually don’t throw myself at men, but I’ll make an exception this one time for you, Boruto,” said Cho-Cho.

Boruto chuckled loud and the girls pulled away and started chatting away nonsensically, but Boruto noticed the absence of one specific person. He turned towards Sumire and asked, “Uh...where’s Sarada?”

“Boruto!”

At the sound of her loud demanding voice, he froze over and blinked. Behind the girls, Sarada was stomping in their direction. Seeing this, the girls immediately made a path for her and watched Sarada with fear in their eyes. Boruto smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head, “H-Hey, Sarada! I’m…”

With a harsh slap that echoed through the village, Boruto was interrupted and tears sprung in his eyes out of reflex. He didn’t really have time to react to the slap because Sarada immediately began her verbal assault, “Baka, Boruto! What did you think you were doing? Do you know how horrible it was being trapped in that room and watching you fight Kawaki? And then you almost die! I’m going to pummel you, you…”

While listening to Sarada’s screams, Boruto smiled fondly at his teammate. He watched her with fond eyes. He knows he should be pretending to be scared of her empty threats, but he just couldn’t keep his smile off his face. She’s okay.

“Why are you smiling, Boruto? Is my suffering that funny to you?”

Boruto beamed brighter and shook his head. Sarada crossed her arms and pouted, her fury still clearly evident in her face, yet, all it did was spark a flame in Boruto’s heart. Finally, Boruto couldn’t control himself anymore and he took a step towards her, wrapping an arm around her waist and using his free hand to cup her cheek.

Ignoring the collective gasps of the girls surrounding them, Boruto pulled Sarada into him and captured her lips with his in a breathtaking kiss. Sarada let out a cute gasp, prompting Boruto to smile into the kiss, before she responded with just as much fervor. Her petite, strong hands made their way to the strands of his blond hair to pull him closer and closer, if that was humanly possible. Boruto held onto her tight as they kissed passionately in front of their friends and family, Boruto managing to slip in some tongue and tugged on her bottom lip before pulling away.

He joined their foreheads and they panted to regain their breath. Once he calmed down, Boruto opened his eyes, and smiled when he saw Sarada still trying to catch her breath. He dove down to give her a few pecks and he whispered, “I love you. That’s why I did it.”

Sarada’s eyes opened wide, her words caught up in her throat, but Boruto knew what she wanted to say. She frowned at Boruto’s smug smile and her blush deepened. She dug her head into her shoulder and she hugged him tight, “Baka, Boruto!”

Boruto chuckled and hugged her back tight, relieved that he could finally confess to the love of his life.

“No hugs for me, Boruto?”

Boruto stopped and pulled away from the hug at the sound of the familiar voice. He grabbed Sarada by the shoulders, a desperate and confused look in his eye when he sees her smile and he asks, “Sarada, is that…”

“Turn around,” Sarada ordered, an excited smile on her face.

He complied and turned on his heel, gasping when he sees his old man smiling at him. He Boruto looks at his dad eye-to-eye, his mouth hanging open in shock.

“Tou-chan,” he whispered in disbelief.

“Don’t stand there like an idiot, dattebayo!” Naruto yelled, his smile growing when he sees his son in shock.

Boruto didn’t need to be told twice. He immediately wrapped his arms around his dad, burying his face in his father’s neck, his tears spilling out involuntarily. Boruto didn’t question how he was alive, he’s just glad his father is there.

“I missed you,” Boruto cried, his hands clenching Naruto’s jacket into his fists.

Naruto smiled and cradled his son in his arms, “I’m right here. I always will be.”

Boruto smiled and the two Uzumaki men held each other.

“You’re embarrassing yourself, Boruto.”

Boruto pulled away from his dad, his tears still streaming down his face and he laughed when he sees his dad glaring at Sasuke, “Way to ruin the moment, teme.”

Boruto turned around and spread his arms wide and yelled, “Shishou! You’re alive too!”

“No.”

“Oh, come on, sensei! Don’t be like that,” Boruto teased as he took a step closer to Sasuke, the older man glaring down at his pupil.

Boruto was allowed ten seconds of hug time before Sasuke pushed him away, a smug smile playing on his lips when he teases, “I would appreciate it if you never kiss my daughter in front of me again.”

“Papa!”

“Shishou!”

[letsbitchyfestcollection]

You were a sixteen year-old high school student in Oklahoma when you wrote The Outsiders. Where did you get the idea for the story? I was actually fifteen when I first began it. It was the year I was sixteen and a junior in high school that I did the majority of the work (that year I made a D in creative writing). One day a friend of mine was walking home from school and these "nice" kids jumped out of a car and beat him up because they didn't like his being a greaser. This made me mad and I just went home and started pounding out a story about this boy who was beaten up while he was walking home from the movies--the beginning of The Outsiders. I was just something to let off steam. I didn't have any grand design. I just sat down and started writing it. I look back and I think it was totally written in my subconscious or something. S.E Hinton considering that nice kids usually not go around beating people up in real life so either your so called freind must of done samething that pissed of these so called nice kids and they attcaked your freind usually nice decent children don't just go around beating strangers up there must be more to this story about your freind being attcaked. Did you even witness this attcak or did you hear it as gossip around high school so without you being a witness to the events you don't know if your freind hasn't embellished facts maybe do same research before you strat writing a novel instead of just running of with your emotions. So was there a real-life Ponyboy? A real Johnny? Ponyboy's gang was inspired by a true-life gang, the members of which were very dear to me. Later, all the gang members I hung out with were sure they were in the book--but they aren't. I guess it's because these characters are really kind of universal without losing their individuality. Firstly a real greaser gangs wouldn't allow a girl to hang with them unless they were part of the gang themselves but maybe you got inspired by real greaser gangs just by observing them around the community so you base your charcters on real gresers but no of these real greasers are in the book so basically you as a writer could have made shit up and do you really thing real greasers would have been impressed with the way you were writing about them being cry babies and hugging one another and being melodramatic they properly laughed at you for writing them like this did you show your so called greasers freinds your writing i bet you didn't. How did you turn that inspiration for a story into such memorable characters? When I write, an interesting transformation takes place. I go from thinking about my narrator to being him. A lot of Ponyboy's thoughts are my thoughts. He's probably the closest I've come to putting myself into a character. He has a lot of freedom, true-blue friends, people he loves and who love him; the things that are important to him are the things that are important to me. I think Ponyboy and Soda and Darry come out better than the rest of them because they have their love for one another. So basically what your saying is that ponyboy is a self insert of yourself so you basically created a mary sue with your lead character well tell us samething we don't know boys are usually will have farmore freedom becouse it socially expectable unlike us girls who have to be protected from the world and we don't have as much freedom I should now I have an older brother who had way more free then me becouse he's 16 years old them myself and i was so caged in most of the time the backyard was my playground becouse it was safer then the park so you basically self inserted what you value instead of inserting samething diffrent in ponyboy like valuesin justice/freedom/honesty/intrgrity/ freedom of speech etc these far better values for teens to work towrads then I have amazing freinds sametimes your so called frinds are that amazing and can be increibly toxic. What were you like as a teenager? Were you a Greaser; a Soc? I was a tomboy--I played football, my close friends were guys. Fortunately, I was born without the need-to-belong gene, the gene that says you have to be in a little group to feel secure. I never wanted to be classified as anything, nor did I ever join anything for fear of losing my individuality. I didn't even realize that these guys, who were my good friends, were greasers until one day we were walking down the street and some guys came and yelled, "Greaser!" It's funny to look back at people you've know your whole life, to suddenly see them as everyone else sees them, with their slicked-back hair and cigarettes hanging out of their mouths and their black leather jackets, and respond, "My God, they're hoods." You knew them and they're not hoods, but they just look like hoods. I had friends on the rich side of town, too, and saw that they had their share of problems, also. so basically you were a loner and anti social and didn't want to get invloved in after school activities maybe becouse you didn't have any freinds. Nobody is born with a gene for belonging it the way your socalized within society/family/school etc didn't your mum drag you out of the bedroom and tell you you were going to be part of the family and you even said in an interview that your mother was abusive towards you maybe becouse you were anti social. And bullcrap you didn't know they were greasers. Did you really have freinds on the rich side of town even though you were a loner. I can tell you being at school with children who are assholes and i had toput up with there shit 5 days a week was enough i didn't want to hang out with these children after school as well or on the weekend or during school break either which was rather peaceful. How did you pursue getting The Outsiders published? When I wrote it I hadn't thought of getting it published. But at school one day I mentioned to a friend that I wrote, and her mother happened to write children's books. I gave her a copy of The Outsiders, and this woman showed it to a friend who had a New York agent. The agent liked it and sold it to the second publisher who read it. She has been my agent ever since. I received the contract from the publisher on graduation day! Well it seems like the novel didn't see an editor that why same of it doesn't sound beliverable and not providing any consequnces with your charcters it doesn't work like this in the real world. Firstly Ponyboy spiting at another person in same states it considered assult on a person then david drowning ponyboy he wouldn't have been charged under the law this is how stupid johnny is instead off holding bob off with the swith he had and try and get david to let pony go johnny had enough criminal motive enough to go after bob after bob attcaked him 4 months earlier if he had lived that would have been enough to convict the kid on murder instead of manslaughter becouse there is enough intent to cause injury or death. dally harbouring futatives running away from the law hrassing girls he would have been charged along with them and ponyboy wouldn't have gone to a boys home he would have been charged and been put in prison instead teenagers who have wagged school have been placed in jail man i wish authors who want to write about real life issues would go watch reasl documetries about teens in prison and see what they did to land up in there it doesn't take a lot to get into trouble and fuck your life up. What made you want to become a writer? The major influence on my writing has been my reading. When I was young, I read everything, including cereal boxes and coffee labels. Reading taught me sentence structure, paragraphing, how to build a chapter. Strangely enough, it never taught me spelling. I have always loved to write, almost as much as I love to read. I began goofing around with a typewriter when I was about twelve. I've always written about things that interest me, so my first years of writing (grades three through ten), I wrote about cowboys and horses. I wanted to be a cowboy and have a horse. Writing is easy for me because I never begain to write unless I have something to say. I'm a character writer. Some writers are plot writers...I have to begin with people. I always knew my characters, exactly what they look like, their birthdays, what they like for breakfast. It doesn't matter if these things appear in the book. I still have to know. I get ideas for characters from real people, but overall they are fictional; my characters exist only in my head. What books and authors inspire and influence you? Well, as an adult, I can pick out a lot of authors who have influenced me. My favorite authors are Jane Austen, Mary Renault, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Shirley Jackson. My favorite books are The Haunting of Hill House, Fire from Heaven, Emma, and Tender Is the Night. I like Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s novels, but not his short stories, and the other way around for J.D. Salinger. But people want to know your childhood influences, and I'll have to say just books in general. I loved to read, and as soon as I learned how I was reading everything I could get my hands on. I was a horse nut, and Peanuts the Pony was the first book I ever checked out of the library. I still remember that book. The act of reading was so pleasurable for me. For an introverted kid, it's a means of communication, because you interact with the author even if you aren't sitting there conversing with her. Why do you use your initials instead of your full name? My publisher was afraid that the reviewers would assume a girl couldn't write a book like The Outsiders. Later, when my books became popular, I found I liked the privacy of having a "public" name and a private one, so it has worked out fine. Why didn;t you just go with your name becouse people are assumping a male wrote this but they read the novel and they can tell that a chick wrote it instead I was reading sweet valley high and baby sitters club way before the outsiders and these novels were flying of the selve with teens becouse they could relate to them. When it was first published, the realism of The Outsiders shocked a lot of reviewers, but readers embraced the book. Did that surprise you? No, I was pleased that people were shocked when The Outsiders came out. One of my reasons for writing it was that I wanted something realistic to be written about teenagers. At that time realistic teenage fiction didn't exist. If you didn't want to read Mary Jane Goes to the Prom and you were through with horse books, there was nothing to read. I just wanted to write something that dealt with what I saw kids really doing. Why do you think the book has remained so popular through the years? Every teenager feels that adults have no idea what's going on. That's exactly the way I felt when I wrote The Outsiders. Even today, the concept of the in-group and the out-group remains the same. The kids say, "Okay, this is like the Preppies and the Punks," or whatever they call themselves. The uniforms change, and the names of the groups change, but kids really grasp how similar their situations are to Ponyboy's. Some portions were quoted from "The Outsiders Conference & Readers Meet Author" from University of Utah's Top of the News, November 1968; "S.E. Hinton:On Writing and Tex" in Notes from Delacorte Press, Winter 1979/Spring 1980; "S.E. Hinton on Becoming a Writer" from teachers@random; "The Insider Outsider" in Interview, July 1999; and "Autobiographical Sketch" from the Educational Paperback Association. Powered by

(11:06) i might not play in the match on thurs (11:06) i punched a guy

(11:07) Why the fuck would you do that.

(11:08) im a rational guy (11:08) but when things happen (11:09) they happen

(11:10) I changed my mind. (11:10) I’m not letting Tobio anywhere near you. You are the worst role model for him.

(11:10) hear me out (11:11) its good i swear

(11:12) …

(11:12) so at practice this newbie kept staring at akaashi (11:12) creepy but harmless (11:12) but then the dudes hand started wandering (11:13) so i socked him in the jaw (11:13) gotta keep the bros boyfriend safe right

(11:15) I’m sure Akaashi appreciates it.

(11:16) nah but bokuto did lololol

(11:16) The question is, how many laps did your coach make you run?

(11:17) dude i ran till i hurled (11:17) make me feel better? (11:17) *sad face emoji*

(11:20) The newly discovered dinosaur fossils in China have changed the way scientists understand the evolution of feathers.

(11:23) It’s my job.

(11:23) youre a geneticist who collects dino dna from amber (11:23) YOURE GOING TO BRING THEM BACK

(11:23) I’m a research assistant.

(11:24) doesnt mean you dont know how

(11:24) Amber DNA is too deteriorated for any type of resurrection.

(11:24) but if you could (11:25) would you

(11:25) Yes.

(11:26) million dollar question which dino though

(11:27) Velociraptor, duh.

(11:27) not a t rex?

(11:28) T-rexes were lumpy potatoes with useless arms. (11:28) Velociraptors had claws on their hind legs for disembowelling prey. (11:28) You tell me which one’s superior.

(11:29) youre so fired up its great (11:29) keep talking dinos to me

(11:31) I would but I have articles to type up before tomorrow.

(11:31) what an aDULTY ADULT (11:31) doing his JOB AND HAVING PROSPECTS

(11:33) Do you mock young and successful people because it temporarily alleviates the worthlessness you feel on a daily basis?

(11:35) savage af

(11:35) :))))

(11:35) i never shouldve went to uni (11:36) dietetics then sports med? (11:36) regret tastes like ash in my mouth (11:36) fucking murder me

(11:37) That was very poetic.

(11:38) you like poetry?

(11:38) I don’t mind it.

(11:39) hypothetically (11:39) could bad poetry seduce you

(11:40) Hypothetically (11:40) No.

(11:40) damn

(11:41) I bet you’re the type of person to fall for sappy crap like that.

(11:41) damn right (11:41) in elementary school a girl wrote me a poem (11:42) we dated all the way from recess to lunch

(11:43) Your longest relationship, huh?

(11:44) all from a shitty roses are red poem (11:44) i bet you can do better (11:45) seduce me o seductive seducer

(11:47) Congratulations, I have literally never been less turned off in my entire life.

(11:48) to reiterate (11:48) 1. i am dumb (11:48) 2. regret tastes like ash in my mouth

(11:49) Mmm. (11:50) You know what else tastes like ash? (11:51) *image attached*

(11:53) oh baby (11:54) you could never taste like regret (11:54) now take that cigarette out of your mouth

(1:44) seems like you two trusted each other a lot

(1:44) We did. (1:44) Do. (1:44) But there was never a relationship. (1:45) We slept together but neither of us really wanted it.  

(1:46) what do you mean?

(1:46) I’m gay. (1:46) Shimizu’s ace. (1:46) We both cried afterwards. (1:47) Pathetic, right.  

(1:47) i dont think thats pathetic at all (1:47) you bared your vulnerabilities to each other (1:47) and learned something about yourselves in the process (1:48) it takes a lot of courage to do something like that

(1:49) I guess.

(1:50) so tobio was the result of that huh

(1:50) Yeah. (1:50) It was bad. (1:50) Our families were so pissed at each other. (1:51) They talked about abortion and marriage and all that shit.  

(1:51) i dont envy you at all (1:51) that mustve been a complete shit storm and a half

(1:51) Shimizu and I considered a platonic marriage. (1:52) But we didn’t want to do something neither of us wanted again.

(1:52) so wedding nay but baby yay

(1:52) Tobio lived with Shimizu. (1:52) Until she got a job offer in America. (1:53) She thought a new country would’ve been too much for him. (1:53) You know how that turned out.

(1:54) stomping sandcastles and chucking buckets (1:54) i still think tobios a champ

(1:55) Dickwad.

(1:55) i love you too babe (1:55) but seriously you and tobio have been doing a lot better (1:56) hes talking to you and his teacher said he was playing with other kids

(1:56) Tobio had (1:56) He’d settled. (1:56) He’d looked at me. (1:57) But one glance at Shimizu today and (1:58) It was like I didn’t exist again. (1:58) Fuck. (1:58) I can’t do this.  

(1:58) hey hey hey (1:58) tobio was just excited to see his mum (1:58) four months right (1:59) he wouldve missed her like crazy (1:59) he wants kisses and cuddles (1:59) doesnt mean hes forgotten his old man

(2:00) First of all, I’m not old.

(2:02) ... (2:02) second of all??

(2:02) I don’t have a second of all.

(2:03) LOLOLOL

(2:03) Shut up, I’m emotional right now.

(2:03) naww babe (2:03) youre just overthinking things (2:03) talk to tobio (2:03) hes five but he understands shit (2:04) tell him you love him just as much as his mum does (2:04) then throw in a vball reference or something idk

(2:04) You’re so helpful.

(2:04) even if tobio doesnt understand everything (2:04) verbalising will help sort out your emotions

(2:05) I thought you were doing Sports Medicine, not Psychiatry.

(2:05) i am an old man with decades of wisdom

(2:05) There it is.

(2:05) what?

(2:05) STRANGER DANGER.

(2:06) i cant believe (2:06) i walked right into that one

(2:06) Lol.

(2:06) feeling better?

(2:07) Yeah. (2:07) Thanks for listening to me vent. (2:07) It did help clear my head.  

(2:08) thats what level five friends are for

(2:09) I’m still sorry about missing practice this morning. (2:09) Can I make it up to you?  

(2:09) how about (2:09) lets do this properly (2:10) and go on a real date

(2:12) Wow.

(2:12) thats a very lacklustre reaction

(2:13) No, I’m just (2:13) Surprised.

(2:13) good or bad surprised?

(2:13) Good surprised. (2:13) I didn’t expect you to be so straightforward.  

(2:14) i have literally been calling you babe and sweetheart and dear

(2:14) I thought flirtation was an integral part of your personality. (2:14) Am I wrong to assume you flirt with everyone?  

(2:14) well no (2:15) i joke around a lot (2:15) but i mean it with you (2:15) youre amazing in every way

(2:16) I really don’t know what to say to that.

(2:18) You’d want Tobio there?

(2:18) Nice save.

(2:18) so picnic?

(2:18) Yeah. (2:18) I’d like that. (2:19) Tobio’s excited too. (2:19) He says he’ll help make riceballs.

(2:19) Kuroo.

(2:19) uhh (2:20) wrong number (2:21) fuck it NO REGRETS

.

Sunday AM

(9:12) Hello, is this Kuroo?

(9:15) yeess (9:15) whos this

(9:17) My name is Shimizu Kiyoko.

(9:17) wait as in (9:17) tsukki and tobios shimizu??

(9:18) Yes.

(9:18) uhh hey (9:18) not that i dont want to talk to you (9:18) but why do you have my number

(9:19) I took it from Tsukishima’s phone. (9:19) Our last few conversations he mentioned your name and it piqued my curiosity.

(9:19) tsukki talks about me?

(9:20) He doesn’t think you’re a nuisance. (9:20) That’s very rare.

(9:20) what can i say (9:20) im charming when i want to be

(9:20) Tobio is quite taken with you. (9:21) That’s also very rare. (9:21) You’re the exception to the rule; I’m sure you understand why I’m curious.

(9:22) i guess but i dont know if theres much to say (9:22) we all just like volleyball

(9:22) Your influence helped smooth out their relationship.

(9:22) it wasnt much (9:22) i just mentioned vball and things went from there (9:22) it was all them

(9:23) You helped them find common ground in their lives. (9:23) I know how difficult it was for them beforehand.

(9:23) they wouldve figured things out eventually (9:23) theyre amazing as they are

(9:24) You sound fond of them.

(9:24) i am (9:24) tobios a good kid (9:24) and tsukki makes me laugh (9:24) mostly at my own expense (9:24) but i like that he doesnt hold back

(9:25) Tsukishima holds you in similar thoughts. (9:25) He’d never admit it but I know him well enough.

(9:25) so this conversation (9:25) are you basically sussing out whether or not im a piece of shit

(9:25) Yes.

(9:25) how am i doing so far

(9:27) You’re fine.

(9:27) oh thank god

(9:27) I don’t understand. You sound relieved?

(9:27) well youre tobios mum (9:27) and tsukki has a lot of respect for you (9:28) so your opinions pretty important

(9:30) I’m surprised. Not many others would consider that.

(9:31) idk it makes sense

(9:32) I’m glad Tsukishima found someone who accepts our unusual circumstances. (9:32) I was afraid my decision to keep Tobio would affect his future relationships.

(9:32) tsukki wouldnt care about people like that anyway (9:33) hed give tobio the world before he gave it to anyone else (9:33) but who wouldnt for a kid like that

(9:35) I think the same, but I may be biased.

(9:35) tobios earnest and hardworking (9:36) determined to challenge himself (9:36) you raised a good kid

(9:36) Thank you. That means a lot to me.

(9:36) its the truth (9:36) so i have passed your inspection or nah

(9:39) There’s a lot I want to say but I’ll keep it brief for both our sakes.

(9:39) yikes

(9:40) I care for Tsukishima and Tobio so much more than I can put into words. (9:40) I hope it means something that I think you’re good for them.

(9:41) oh (9:41) yeah (9:41) yeah it does (9:41) thanks (9:41) im not eloquent enough for this (9:42) but i care a lot for them too (9:42) and ill take care of them (9:42) for as long as theyll have me (9:42) for as long as youll let me

(9:44) I can see why Tsukishima and Tobio like you.

(9:44) tsukki only likes me for my biceps

(9:44) Funny. (9:44) Tsukishima is actually reading this over my shoulder.

(9:45) uh oh (9:45) is he sulking now

(9:45) A little bit. (9:45) He does have a weakness for muscles.

(9:46) I KNEW IT (9:46) AHAHAHAHAHA (9:46) hes never going to live this down

(9:47) Oh, I shouldn’t have let that slip. (9:47) Tsukishima’s mad at me now.

(9:47) bless his sensitive soul

(9:47) He’s telling Tobio to spike a ball into your face.

(9:48) what

(9:48) Tobio might actually do it.

(9:48) shimizu (9:48) i know were merely acquaintances (9:49) but help

(9:50) Strawberry shortcake. (9:50) It’s Tsukishima’s favourite.

(9:50) thats adorable (9:50) i owe you one

(9:50) Then take care of them. (9:50) Or I’ll take care of you.

(9:51) wh

(9:51) Have fun on your date. (9:51) Tobio will tell me all about it. (9:51) :)

Randy Cunningham in:Andrew’s Redemption (Part 6).

It was ten o’clock in the morning at the Cunningham household and Howard sat on Randy’s couch with his arms crossed and a annoyed look on his face while Randy prepared himself to go out on an early ninja patrol.

Howard:Ugh why do I have to babysit him? Howard asked slightly annoyed.

Randy:Because I have to go out on patrol and Theresa’s hanging out with Debbie and Heidi. Randy replied.

Randy then opened his bedroom window and prepared himself to leap through it when he suddenly felt a strong tug on his scarf prompting him to turn around to see that Howard was holding his scarf.

Howard:Well what the juice are we suppose to do without you and Fowler? Howard once again asked.

Randy:I don’t know take him to breakfast, the gamehole, the park, whatever just make sure to get him out of the house, it’ll help socialize him. Randy hastily replied.

Howard then realised Randy’s ninja scarf allowing him to leave his household and go on his patrol.Howard let out an annoyed and aggravated sigh then proceeded to make his way down to the living room where Andrew and Mrs.Cunningham currently where.Upon entering the living room Howard approached Andrew prompting him to set down the book he was reading and turn his attention to Howard.

Andrew:So what are we going to do today? Andrew asked as he got up from the couch.

Howard:Well Cunningham’s out dealing with ninja business and Fowler’s hanging out with the bane of my existence so we’re pretty much on our own. Howard replied.

Andrew:Will this be a problem? Andrew once again asked.

Howard:No, its just that having Cunningham or Fowler here would’ve made things more easier. Howard stated.

Andrew:hmm yes this does seem unfortunate but no matter we will just have to go on with the rest of our day without them. Andrew said.

Howard:Yeah I guess so, but anyway we’ve standed here yapping for long enough so come on lets get outta here and go get some breakfast. Howard said as he approached the front door and opened it.

Howard then walked outside with Andrew quickly following behind.

“A few minutes later.”

after a short bus ride later Andrew and Howard now sat at a table in a breakfast diner waiting for the waitress to bring them their food.As they waited Andrew couldn’t help but feel as though he was being watched so he looked up from the table and noticed that in the far right corner of the diner a boy (somewhere around his age) was sat at a table with his mother looking straight at him. Upon realizing that he had been noticed the boy looked down at the table his cheeks as red as the ninja scarf.The mother of the boy then turned and looked at Andrew and smiled to which Andrew recipocated with a reluctant wave. The mother of the teen then turned back to face her son and spoke to him. Suddenly the boys face turned a bright red and Andrew watched as he slammed his head down on the table in embarrassment.

Howard:Yo dude what you lookin at? Howard asked after looking up from his phone.

Andrew:The family in the far right corner. Andrew answered still looking at the mother and her son.

Howard turned and looked at the mother and her son who were now silently arguing with each other.

Howard:You wanna go talk to ‘em? Howard asked looking back at Andrew.

Andrew gave no response as he simply got up from the table they were seated at and began to walk towards the mother and her son.

Howard:Remember not to say anything to revealing. Howard said as Andrew walked away from the table.

Andrew nodded then continued to make his way towards the mother and sons table.As Andrew got closer to their table the mother and her son quickly hushed themselves.Andrew stopped in front of their table then looked down at the boy whose face was still bright red.

Andrew:Hello, earlier I noticed that you were starring at me and I’d like to know if I my sit here and speak with you? Andrew asked.

The boy looked at his mother with a questioning look to which she responded with a wink and a smile.

Boy:Um uh y-yeah sure I guess. The boy nervously responded.

Andrew nodded then proceeded to take a seat next to the boys smiling mother.

Andrew:My name is Andrew Akiyama, might I be able to get your names? Andrew politely asked.

Damion:Uh Damion, my names Damion Maines. Damion hesitantly responded.

Laura:And I am his mother, laura Maines. Mrs.Maines politely answered.

Andrew:Well it’s a pleasure to meet you both. Andrew commented.

Meanwhile with Howard.

Howard sat watching as Andrew conversed with Daimon and Mrs.Laura Maines hoping that Andrew didn’t end up saying something that would prompt the Maines to evacuate the diner.After several minutes Andrew returned to the table looking rather cheerful.

Howard:So uh how’d it go? Howard asked nervously.

Andrew:It went very good, the boy Damion even gave me his phone number. Andrew answered cheerfully.

Howard:Wow really, dude do you know what that means?! Howard exclaimed.

Andrew:No. Andrew said with a raised eyebrow.

Howard:It means that you made a friend bro! Howard cheerfully exclaimed.

Andrew:Hey yeah you’re right I did make a freind. Andrew realized.

Howard:Dude I can’t wait to wipe this right in Cunningham and Fowler’s face. Howard smugly thought to himself.

Andrew:Anyway sorry for keeping you waiting. Andrew apologized.

Howard:Ah it’s cool dude. Howard said accepting Andrew’s apology.

Suddenly the waitress approached Andrew and Howard’s table holding two plates in her hands.

Waitress:here’s your food sugars, sorry to have kept you waitin. The waitress said as she placed the plates down on the table.

“A few minutes later.”

After they had finished eating their food Andrew and Howard paid for their breakfast then left the diner and returned back home to the Cunningham household were upon Andrew proceeded to sit down on the living room couch and continue to read his book while Howard simply sat down next to him and proceeded to watch television.

To be Continued in (Part 7). God this took waaaaaay to damn long to finish.
