I go to an old school so there are big cracks on the track field that it is possible for someone to hurt themselves. Just want you to know, I don't own the Outsiders.

I am probably the fastest runner on my team, I don't mean to brag or anything but I'm always beating people while running. I had a lot of people on my track team with me but they don't talk to me and the only person that does is my friend Randy. A lot of socs have a problem with me and him being friends but we don't care. I stopped running after five laps around the track and I sat down next to Randy.

"Hey Pony what's up?" asked Randy who was out of breathe.

"Nothing much, did you want to go to the movies with Johnny and me?"

"No I can't I promised my other friends that I would go to a party with them at Bucks."

"Oh well, hey you wanna race around the track I bet I will beat you," I asked.

"You're on Ponyboy."

Randy and I went to the starting line and started to run, Randy was cheating since he got a heads start but I don't care I'm gonna beat this soc. I was catching up with Randy who was running pretty fast, I could see sweat forming on him. I could also see the track coach smiling at us at how fast we were running. Come on come on come on! I was shouting to myself, I was losing breath as I was getting even close to Randy. I am such an idiot because I didn't see the huge gap in the center of the ground. I stepped in it and fell really hard when my foot didn't move from the crack.

"OUCH OH MY GOD!" I shouted, Randy and the track coach ran towards me. They saw that my foot was stuck; Randy jumped into action and pulled my foot out but that made the pain worse.

"Ponyboy I think you broke your foot, stay with him Randy I'm going to call the hospital!" shouted the coach. Why is he calling the hospital? I asked myself but I guess it was because I was crying like a baby and screaming really load so the whole track team could hear.

"It's ok Ponyboy stop screaming everything is going to be ok," said Randy and I could see the concern in his eyes.

I was now on the ground and stopped screaming but I didn't move my body because it hurt so much and for some reason my head feels like it good hit with a baseball bat. I closed my eyes to stop the tears from falling down but that didn't work, I had the worst head ach in the world and to top it off I heard sirens coming and about one or two people yelling. I couldn't take it anymore so I just feel asleep on the ground…wait it feels like a bed so I guess I fell asleep on a bed.

When I opened my eyes I felt them trying to close but I wouldn't let them, I wanted to make sure my brothers new where I was. "Please Ponyboy stay asleep for now you need the rest," said what I'm guessing was Darry. I obeyed for once and fell asleep but I could hear what the people were saying around me.

"Darry did he wake up yet?" asked a crying Sodapop.

"Yeah he did but I told him to stay asleep since that's what the doctor said."

"Hey its Soda if you can hear me Ponyboy I want you to know that you hurt your head really bad and you twisted your ankle," said Soda, he was touching my hand trying to comfort me but it seems like he was the one needed to be comforted. At that moment I blanked out because the nurse gave me some pain killers and they have been making me sleepy but after a while I woke up just in time to hear Two-Bit say something about a rumble.

"Darry look he is awake!" shouted Sodapop, the whole gang was there well this is embarrassing I thought to myself.

"What rumble? What are you guys talking about?" I asked trying to sit up but failed because my head was still hurting me. Darry gave Two-Bit a look that told him to not say anything. "Come on Darry just tell the kid it's not like he can go anyway," that came from Dally who was sitting next to the window with Steve and Johnny. "Well there is no need to tell him since he will be staying here," Darry argued.

"Well I now know that there is going to be a rumble but I want details, come on Darry you said it yourself that I am not going anywhere, besides my head hurts to much to get up," I was begging now.

"Well since you fell on that track a lot of people saw and the greasers that's saw thought that Randy hurt you since he was with you and socs didn't liked being blamed so they started to argue and get violent. Some greaser wanted a rumble so that's what we are going to do tomorrow night, and yes all of us here are going and no you are not going." Said Darry. That got me so mad, they could at least stay with me to keep me company. Being mad was making me frustrated and my head started to hurt again.

"Darry. Me. Head. OUCH!" I shouted and fell asleep. I was having a really weird dream now but this was one of those dreams where you can control it, cool.

I was walking to the vacant lot since that's where lots of rumbles take place and since I control this dream I'm now walking to where the rumble is. I heard footsteps behind me I turned around to see Randy.

"What are you doing here you have to stay at the hospital?" I tried to answer but nothing came out of my mouth so I just kept walking but Randy was being really annoying right now.

"Ponyboy Curtis! Ponyboy? Wake up Pony!"

I woke up slowly opening my eyes seeing nothing attached to me except for a cast around my left foot and something rapped around my head. I didn't feel any more pain but just a little head ach, I actually felt relaxed that's what drugs can do to a person I guess I said to myself. Anyway I looked around where are my brothers? I looked to the side of my bed and saw Randy sitting there looking at me.

"Randy what are you doing here?" I rubbed my eyes and sat up this time not falling.

"I'm sorry about what happened on the track yesterday I just want you to know that there is going to be a rumble and I won't go," said Randy.

"Wait did you say yesterday? Oh my god that means that the rumble is tonight!" I shouted. I had to go to the rumble I just had to!

"Ponyboy I really don't think you have the strength to go I mean look at your foot,"

"No forget my foot all my friends will be in it and I don't want to miss it and have everyone bragging to me about how cool it was, and you wanna know what you're helping me get out of this place tonight!" I shouted. He looked at me and after a while he smiled and said he would help me. All we had to do was sneak out of the hospital, make sure the gang doesn't see me, and make sure we win. Super easy!
