Short Story Introduction

“Katrina, remember last summer when you came to visit and we had that party?” I said happily.

“Yeah! Yeah! I do” She said with a grin on her face.

I have known Katrina ever since we can remember, but when she moved away to New York City everything changed. Nothing was the same. She was my only real friend, like the only friend I have ever trust.
I remember the day of that party like if it was yesterday. Everything was smooth. The music was blasting everyone was dancing. The sunshine was coming through the windows. I felt like a rat going through the bottom of a door. The place was full. There were people in the living room, kitchen, other rooms and one of the most excited places the pool. That was crowded too. Cannon balls everywhere. The smell of hot dog’s burning. We all were having a blast.

“Ugh But I can’t believe what happened” She said slowly with a sad tone.

Book Club Novel Characters

If The Socs and The Greasers were in New York City in 2006, they would not be having rumbles and jumping people. The reason why is because there were other people around back then in 06. They were in a town, but if they come to New York City it wont be the same.
For example, If they were in The City Bob and his friends wouldn't have tried to jump Johnny and PonyBoy. The reason why is because they probably will be a lot of cops roaming the streets, and maybe they would be other people in the streets looking for trouble and would of hit Bob his crew, and maybe PonyBoy and Johnny.
