The Library

As I walked outside from the library, I was amazed at how dark it was. I came in at noon. I looked at my watch and it read" 5:00". "Glory!" I thought to myself," Have I been in there that long?"

I looked around, I saw Darry and Sodapop lying on the ground fast asleep. At that second, I remembered I asked them to come get me at 2:00. I saw a couple of quarters lying on the ground next to them. 'Glory!' I thought to myself,' people think that they're poor!

"Darry! Soda!" I yelled. All I got was a mumbled, "hmnnnnn." So I just went right ahead and jumped on them. The only reply was an insane smile from Soda to Darry.

I just knew what that meant and I sprinted away as fast as I could but Darry and Soda had me down in a second, tickling me. "Holler uncle!" Darry said.

"Nope," I managed to say between muffled giggles. Then they tickled me some more," Holler Uncle!!!" Soda managed to say while laughing his head off. "U-U-UNCLE!" I yelled.

"Damn Pony! Your 3 hours late! Whad'ya do? Meet a girl?" Soda asked. I went red," No.."

We raced home. I won and my brothers tied. When we got home, Two-Bit and Steve were there. "Where have you guys been? We have been so worried!" they said at the same time.

"Chill you guys! Ponyboy was three hours late in coming out," Darry said. "We think he met a girl!" Soda whispered. "No I didn't!" I yelled taking a swing at him.

He ducked just in time and ran downstairs I ran after him. I tried to tackle him but he did a flip over me. I ran for my room and locked myself in, but he somehow managed to open the door. He tackled me onto the bed.

He looked at the clock," 12:00?! Ponyboy! Go to bed!" "I am!" "Well shut your eyes!"

I woke up the next day...
