Tough Love

Chapter - Meeting Jenny: Jenny's POV

" When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house I had just two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home."

I began to read aloud. How could it be that I had only read one sentence in the book, and it was already hard to read it? I had heard about this book before, it was recently published about a month and a half ago. It was the talk of our school. Why? Because a boy at our school wrote it. Ponyboy Curtis.

I had heard many rumors about why he had written it, but I know the cold hard truth. His English teacher had asked him to write a theme or else he would fail the class. But by the time Pony had written the so called "theme" he had totally forgotten that it was a homework assignment. He put his heart and soul into that theme, and he used his writing as a way to let go of his anger.

I don't blame him though, he has been through so much in the past year. Two of his best friends were killed. Pony never got a proper chance to say good-bye to either of them. I bet you're wondering how I know so much about Ponyboy, I had never read the theme even though it had been published into a novel.

I haven't been able to bring myself to read it. Why? Because I am in the book that Ponyboy wrote. For I am a soc, and I am also Ponyboy's girlfriend. My name is Jenny, Jenny Valance. If you are wondering, yes, I am Cherry's younger sister.I'll bet that you're thinking that would be weird. But let me explain to you the whole story, then you'll see that it's not all that weird at all...

That's it for now, but I promise it DOES get better, and the chapters WILL be longer! The begining's are always boring. Sorry. But please read and review!!
