Ponyboy:
Johnny and I start walking home from school. I'm in eighth grade and Johnny is in ninth.
"We should have asked Soda for a ride home." Johnny sighs.
"I know" I reply "at least it ain't too far." Johnny just shrugs. We walk in silence the rest of the way home. About a block away from my house we saw a blue Mustang filled with a bunch of Socs. Johnny cringed when it passed and the Socs. just laughed even harder.
"You alright Johnny?"
Johnny nods "Yeah I guess so." It was Friday and boy was I glad this week was over. I walked inside and it was cool in our house. I was greeted by Two-Bit, Steve, Dally and Soda who were all playing cards.
"Where's Johnny?" Dally grumbled.
"Went home, said he'd come over later, why?" I ask scanning the ice-box.
"He's good at this game and I owe money to dumb, dumber, and dumbest; I need him to help me."
"Aw big tough Dallas Winston needs some help with the little cards" Two-Bit said in a baby voice. Steve and Soda snickered.
"Shut-up" Dally said getting more agitated. I finished my homework. Johnny came over and tried to help out Dally, but Dally lost his temper and stormed out of the house. This of course resulted in Soda, Two-Bit and Steve cracking up. Around seven Soda and Steve took off they had some date. And Darry wasn't home yet which was odd for him.
"Where's Darry?" I asked
"Oh muscle man had a date tonight or he's just working late" Two-Bit said cheerfully.
Later Two-Bit, Johnny and I all got Cokes and went to the lot. We just sat there silently and Two-Bit was throwing anything he could get his hands on. We just sat there, on our little wall. Then a girl walked by she had brown hair like Dally only it was really curly. Once she got closer I realized she had his eyes, blue, blazing ice, cold with the hatred of the whole world. She looked like a younger Dally and a girl. When she walked by Two-Bit whistled at her, she stopped dead in her tracks. "Good job Two-Bit" I mumbled. The girl turned around and started walking towards us. Two-Bit hopped down and I and Johnny just followed.
"What are you doin' all alone at this time at night, it's pretty dangerous." Two-Bit grinned. She looked like a hood from New York City.
"I'm lookin' for someone" She said. She didn't have anything "You know a Dallas Winston?"
Two-Bit grinned "Depends, who's askin'?"
"Just tell me where he is" She said losing her patience, she was the first person who wasn't amused by Two-Bit and the first girl who didn't fall for him.
"I'll tell you if you let me buy you a coke" Two-Bit was grinning ear to ear. Me and Johnny looked at each other and hopped back on the wall. She shook her head and reached into her back pocket. Two-Bit grinned "What?" The girl pulled out a knife and shoved Two-Bitt against the wall. Johnny and I just looked at each other wide eyed.
"Tell me where he is!" She said pressing the knife closer to his throat. Two-Bit was a lot stronger than her though. Two-Bit grabbed her wrists and put her in the same position he was just in and stole her knife.
"Don't go around pulling knives on people. Understand?" Two-Bit said the most serious I had ever seen him be. She nodded quickly. Two-Bit pocketed the knife. "Now why are you lookin' for Dally?"
She looked around then answered "I just need to talk to him!" Two-Bit just looked at her sternly. It was really weird seeing him like that. "I know him from the city just tell me where I can find him!" Johnny hopped down from the wall.
"Come on Two-Bit" Johnny pleaded
"Fine let's get this over with." Two-Bit started to calm down and become more… Two-Bitish….
