Darry's POV

I was walking back home when I saw Pony in the livingroom, with a stack of books. Which wasn't odd that he had these but the quantity was huge."I know you like to read but really this is over doing it a bit." I said. "Have you seen the new librarian, she's pretty." Pony said. I laughed Pony checked out all these books just to talk to her. "Come with me to take back some of these books." I said wanting to see this librarian grabbed some of the books and followed me.

The library was an old,small library but had a lot of books in it. There was a huge desk with two women at them. One was about as old as the library herself, and the other was about my age and probably the one Pony was talking about. She looked up from her book and laughed softly. "Pony, I know you couldn't read all those books in about twenty minuets." She said offering him a piece of hard candy.

"I know, Darry wanted me to bring some back since I wouldn't." He said making her look at me. She smiled and said "Darry,you probably don't remember me." I took a good look at her and she seemed familuar. "Janet Kims, aka Bookworm of Tulsa High." She said. I smiled and said "You brought a book to every thing, football games,pep rallys,dances." Pony nodded and went off to look at books.

"Why aren't you in college now, you're pretty smart." I said almost calling her just pretty. Her smiled vanished and she said "I didn't get a scholarship, you only get scholarships for sports at our school." I frowned and said "I'm sorry,so anything new." She sighed and said "My older brother blew his college money getting drunk and I had to get a job to help my mom pay the bills." So we are in kind of the same sitituation,

"My parents died,I'm taking care of my brothers." I said softly. "Oh Darry,I'm so sorry. "She said standing up. She hugged me and said "Want doesn't kill you makes you stonger." I nodded and she let go. Pony came back to check out a few books. "Gone with the wind, an amazing book. "Janet said giving him the book. Pony and I left. I was smiling walking back to the house.

"She's nice isn't she." Pony said. I looked over at him and said "Did you know she went to the same high school as me." He nodded and smiled. Was my little brother trying to set me up with a librarian. "Pony why are you smiling?"I asked opening the door. "Darry loves the new librarian!" Pony yelled running in. I ran in after Pony and wrestled with him."I barely know her. "I said. "But you like her." Pony said getting out of my grip.

"Maybe but that doesn't mean you tell her."I said. Soda came in with a grin and said "What she is pretty she also gave Steve a fat lip." Steve came in at the sound of his name with a bloody lip. "All I did was hit on her." He muttered. "No you annoyed her and talked pretty dirty to her." Two Bit said. "Jesus she can punch." Steve said rubbing his lips gingerly. The phone rang and I told Pony to get it.

Ponyboy's POV

I got up to the get the phon and answered it. "You usually only call when a book is overdue none of mine are." I said getting scared.A day late woud be a fee of 10 cents. "No uh Pony can I talk to your brother Darry." She asked. "Oh."I said putting my hand over the phone. "Darry, your girl friend is on the phone. "I yelled. He came in the kitchen and said "Give it." I gave it to him and hurried back to the living room and picked up the other phone to listen in.

The guy's stopped talking and listened. "Hey uh Darry do you want to go to the movies with me." Janet asked. "The movies,I don't know." Darry said. "Ah come on you seem stresst it would help your brothers." Janet said. Yes pull out the brother's card. "I don't go to the movies alot." Darry said."Come on one horror movie, no musicals,or romances, a horror movie with blood and guts and stuff."She said.

"I don't know Janet." Darry said. "Oh it's okay really I might have to ask Steve to go." She said.Jealousy please work. "Wait no need for that I'll go." Darry said quickly. "You free tonight." She asked."Yeah is that when the movie is." Darry asked. "Yep, oh I have to go." She said hanging up.
