"Ponyboy Curtis!" Sodapop yelled.

"What!?" Ponyboy yelled, sitting up alarmed.

"Nothing time for school." Sodapop simply stated earning him a face full of pillow. Ponyboy grunted and lay back down. He didnt want to go to school. Wishing Darry would let him skip, his cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and sure enough, it was Jen.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Ponyboy! Um, you are up, right?" Jen hesitated to ask.

"Soda just now woke me and-" he was cut off by a 'you're joking' fromt he other end of the line. "No, I'm not. I'll get in the shower and-"

"No time just wet your hair. I'll be there in 5." She hung up. She may be weird but aren't we all. i looked at teh clock. it read 7:15.

"7:15!? " I asked out loud. I got up and made a bee line to the bathroom. I heard the swcreen door slam a couple minutes later and expected it was Two-bit cause Jen was taking him too.

I then heard the screen door again followed by "Ponyboy! Let's go!" From down stairs. I ran down and jen was making toast. I didn't really eat toast but then again, it was food. i was just about to get my shoes on when she dragged me out the door.

"I gotta get my shoes on." I tried to protest but we were already outside.

"In the car. Where's Two-bit. And what happened to his car?"

"Oh, he wrecked the piece o' junk."

"Hey it was not a piece of shit!" Two-bit hollored.

"I didnt say that. i said junk." Ponyboy retorted. While they were bickering, I honked the car horn.

"Jen what is the rush this morning?" Two-bit asked in a sarcastic tone that made her purse her glossed lips. Jen was sort of a middle to greaser class. She lived with her 2 bestest friends Rae and Heather. She didnt want to tell them that she might be moving to Illinois.

"Rae said that if i am late to school one more time that i will have to go to an all girls school."

"I'll take your place if you want me to." Two-bit offered.

Jen smiled, " Thanks but no thanks m'man. Now get in the damn car."

.................................**AT SCHOOL**........................................

Watch what your doin greaser!" Shouted a soc.

"Why don't you? You're the big ape around here" Jen sharply replied. The soc ran back and push her up against the lockers. "What did you say?" He asked.

"I said 'You're the ape around here'." That earned her a blow to the face. Two-bit saw right when Jen kicked the soc in the stomach. He helped a little bit. When the principle came jen and Two-bit split.

"You ok?" He asked

"Yea i'm fine. Thanks."

"No problemo." Just then the bell rang. Jen walked into english where a bunch of socs were. There were only 2 greasers in that class: Pony and Jen. Pony sat about 2 seats to Jens left. She started writing Pony a note....
