"Ponyboy, if you don't get up now, I'm gonna tickle you so hard you'll cry," Soda warned. He stood above me, pants on but no shirt. I pulled my knees into my chest.
"Go 'head." Soda jumped on top of me and started sqwising my sides. I cracked a smile, but my head was buried in my pillow, so he couldn't see.
"Say uncle" he commanded.
"No!" I gasped through my laughter. Soda tackled me to the floor, and tickled me more. "Okay, Okay! Uncle, UNCLE!" Soda stood up with a smirk.
"Now get some clothes on," he said.
"Back at 'cha" I replied. He grabbed the rest of his DX uniform and whipped it at my stomach before putting it on.
"Hurry up. Dar made breakfast."
I rushed around trying to find where I'd put my jeans and T-shirt last night. Once I'd found 'um, I ran into the kitchen, greated by Two-Bit.
"Sup Pony" he said while digging in the ice box for the chocolate cake Soda and I had made last night.
"Late for school, that's sup" I called over my sholder as I uncapped a jug of chocolate milk.
"Pony, when are you gonna realize that one day Soda aint gonna come and get you up? Youd be hours late!" Darry yelled. I know he's wrong. Soda will always get me up. Still, I looked at him apoligeticly as I shoveled some eggs into my mouth.
"I'll give you a ride if you're ready now," Two-Bit said.
"Sure, Thanks."
"Bye Ponyboy" called Soda as we settled into Two-Bit's car. As we drove into town, he slowed down to look at a blonde Soc strut by. He whisled.
"Damn, that girl is hot!" He yelled as she passed. I shugged. Sure, she was hot, but nothing exceptional. She's nothing compared to Cherry Valence, a red headed Soc girl who digs sunsets just as much as I do.
"Hey Two-Bit, you gotta girl right now?" I asked. He's always got some girl trailing behind him. He cocked his eyebrow.
"What's it to 'ya? What, you wanna have one of 'um?" I rolled my eyes.
"No! Just curios," I stated. He gave me a suspicious look. We rode the rest of the way in silence.
I came to school expecting it to be a completely normal day. I couldn't have been more wrong. That was the day I met Kate. She was a new girl, fair skinned and small. Her light brown hair always seems to catch the light, but her pale blue eyes are the pretiest thing about her. They're so blue, they're almost gray. I've always wished my green eyes were grayer, but she always tells me I'm beyond perfect the way I am. I could of only fanasised about her pink lips touching mine that day. Little did I know this girl was mine.
