Hey!
So I love the outsiders and I had read a few "gang reads the theme" stories, so I thought I would try to make my own. Fair warning this is not like any other stories of this kind. Pony is very, very depressed and the gang is hoping that reading his theme will help him before it is too late. Let me know what you think. I am thinking of doing these stories for a few other series but I wanted to try it out with this story first.
Ponyboy walked in after a very long week at school. He just couldn't focus on anything. Nothing was worth anything anymore, not without Johnny and Dally. The rest of the gang knew he was struggling, and had a plan to help him, but he didn't know it.
Darry and the rest of the gang had been home all day, getting ready for Pony to come home. Soda had searched their room, and found the theme Pony had written for English last week. There was a big A on the front of it. Pony's grades were still slipping lower than usual, but this theme, had at least put him at a passing grade.
Pony boy walked in and the entire gang (or what was left) was sitting in the living room, which wasn't out of the ordinary. Then he glanced again and saw his theme laying on the table. He got ready to bolt but two- bit and Soda had him cornered.
"Pony, you never told us what you wrote in your theme. We were just curious. We swear we waited for you to get home, to make sure it was okay with you if we read it." Soda explained. He was worried about his baby brother, and he wanted to know what had happened to him.
"I don't like the idea of you guys reading it, because everything is in there, even the stuff I don't want you to know, but I know you would just read it anyway, so there is no point in saying no" Pony said, taking a seat on the couch next to Darry.
"Okay, I will read first." Darry said.
