Note: set in first person as Ponyboy(just like the book)
It was lunch time and me and the gang met at the usual spot to go to eat. I don't even
know why I say "go eat" because we never eat anything anyway. We decided to hang out
behind the back of the school where the Socs usually stay away from. There were a couple
of other groups back there, no one that we really hung out with, but we all ignored each
other so we could "eat" in peace. Our conversation was slow ever since Johnny and Dally
died- I hate saying that- so I scanned the other groups hanging around. They were mostly
other greasy gangs with their girls, but in one of the groups I noticed something different.
It was Mark Connelly's gang, I remembered him because he and Soda used to talk alot. I saw
this girl joking with some guy, but she was different. She wasn't like any of the girls we
hang out with, actually she wasn't like any of the girls I have ever seen before. She was
real cute, with short brown hair and eyes and she was wearing a loose white Frank Sinatra t-shirt
with navy cords that kind of went out at the bottom and black converse high tops, a style
he'd never seen before. She didn't have any make-up on like the other girls and she was
really pretty, I mean really naturally beautiful. I guess I must of been staring cause she
looked over at me strangly. I looked away quickly and joined back into my own conversation.
For the rest of the day I couldn't stop thinking about her.
That night I asked Sodapop if he'd seen her before and he said he'd seen alot of girls
and started bugging me about liking her, so I decided Soda wasn't the person to ask.
There were so many things I wanted to know about her, I thought it was kind of strange
'cause I've never felt that way about a girl before.
Please Review!
