Well I just finished reading The Outsiders and I loved it. I hope you will like this because I worked very hard on it. Oh and I used the same characterd as S.E. Hinton, only in my own fan fiction.
Ponyboy and Sodapop were sitting in the living room of their house. They were sitting there in silence thinking of eveerything that had happened. It had only been 2 months since Johnny and Dally had died and everyone still wasn't over it. Darry had been out at a meeting to find out if pony and soda would still be able to live with each other.
They had been sitting there for about an hour. They hhadn't heard from the gang in a while but they would be coming over later to celebrate them being able to stay at the house, but Pony wasn't so sure the news would be good. Just as Soda was about to say domething, they heard a knock on the door. They looked up to see Two-Bit's head sticking in the door.
"Hey guys. How you feeling?"Two-Bit asked. They could tell that he wasn't drunk because he actually had a look of consern in his eyes.
"Ok but he still haven't heard anything," Soda said taking the words right out of Pony's mouth.
Two-Bit walked over to Pony and sat down beside him. He put his arm around Pony's shoulder. "It'll be ok kid." He said. No one really knows what to say to someone at a time like that but the best thing Two-Bit could think of to say to Pony was to wait and everything should be alright.
Two-Bit and Soda were talking about what was going on with Sandy, but Pony really didn't pay attention. He was too busy thinking about this whole thing. Pony was able to get his marks up a little but they still weren't normal. Pony couldn't help but think that if they had to be put in a home, it would be all his fault.
His thoughts were cut off short because Darry had walked in."Well boys are you ready for the news,"Darry said not really asking a question."Well it looks like you two trouble makers get to stay here." Darry looked from face to face waiting to see their reactions.
Ponyboy looked up at Darry in shock."Are you serions?"He looked at Soda waiting for him to say something.
He gave pony a smile."So what do we do now?"
"I guess we wait here for Steve to show up."Two-Bit said but then added,"Have you seen him today?"
"No I didn't. He wasn't in for work today. In fact, my boss told me to come back home when I when in."
It took everyone a minute to think about what had just been said. They jumped up and ran out the door. They started to run in the direction of the vacant lot. It was getting ddarker as they ran. When they reached the lot, they could just barely see a body lying on the ground. They started to run faster, Pony in front. They all knew that if Steve was hurt in anyway then some socs would definately get it, and this time worse than before. If they lost Steve to, now that would be too much.
"You know what Ponyboy, Iremembered how you said you and Johnny had watched the sunstes when you were at the church, so I had to come down here and see for myself what ol'Johnny liked about. Now I see why you two did like it so much." Steve didn't even move when he was talking. He just kept a straight face still staring into the sky. That had been the first time anyone had mentioined Johnny since that funeral. Then Pony remembered the last thing Johnny had said to him,"stay gold." As Pony was thinking about Johnny he was really craving a weed, but he couldn't have one because Darry was making him quit.
Ponyboy lyed down beside Steve and stared up at the sky. They watchedas the sky changed from blue, to purple, to pink, to black. Then as if by magic, they watched little spots of light appear in the blackness.
"We should probbaly go back to our house,"They heard Darry say. Everyone knew that they couldn't stay out all night espically now because the socs were more dangerous than ever before.
Steve was the first one to jump up. Soda jumped up afterwards. Then Two-Bit and Darry jumped up at the same time. Ponyboy slowly stood up. He really didn't like the thought of everyone sleeping over that night but he didn't have any say in it, after all, he was the yougest. They walked home in silence still trying to digest what Steve had just said.
When they got home, Pony walked straight to his room and sat down on the end of his bed. This day had been eventful but not only that, Pony had a lot on his mind and needed to be somewhere quiet to think. He slowly laid down his head and drifted off to sleep.
Eveyone else was in the living room sitting on the couches and chairs.They were having one of those conversations that really doesn't make any sense at all unless you were there for the whole thing. It had taken some time before anyone realized that Ponyboy wasn't there.
"Where's that trouble-maker Pony anyways?" Two-Bit asked looking around the room. Everyone else did the same.
"Did he even follow us home?" Steve asked cocking an eyebrow like Two-Bit would always do. There was a little laughter, a lot from Soda.
"Split up and see if he is in the house." Soda said after he was all calmed down. Everone jumped up and ran around the house, in and out of room. It wasn't long before they heard someone scream.
"Oh Soda get up off of me you woke me up." It was Pony of course. Everyone ran into the bedroom to see what was going on. Soda was sitting on top of Pony tickling him. Darry walked over to them and lifted Soda up off of Pony by his collar. When soda was on his feet again he walked off and muttered something under his breath, but no one seemed to notice.
Darry, Steve and Two-Bit followed Soda out of the room to leave Ponyboy bacl to his sleep. When they were all in the living room, Darry was the first to say something.
"I think that we should all follow Pony's example and go to bed. You two can sleep on the couches, good night." And at that Darry walked off to his room to go to sleep.
Steve and Two-Bit sprawled out across the couches and Soda walked back to his and Pony's room. He pulled off Pony's shirt and shoes and then did the same to himself. He laid down next to Pony, and put his arm over Pony's shoulder. After a few minutes, he to fell asleep.
And thats my 1st chapter, and I hope you liked it. Also I will be sure to add more chapters as soon as I can. Please review, I would love to hear what you have to say.
