Ponyboy's POV

It was seven at night when my older brother, Sodapop Curtis and our gang, Dallas (Dally) Winston, Johnny Cade, Two-Bit (Keith) Matthews, Steve Randle and I went to the Nighty Double (it's a place where you go in your car and watch movies). The thing was we didn't have a car so we decided to sneak in the hole in the gate. It wasn't my idea. I prefer to pay for things then stealing. Anyway when we found seats for us all near the concession stand, we sat there. I looked around the place. Usual there would be drunken teenagers in their cars, some of them making out and the others watching the movie.

Soadpop smiled at me, "You gonna get popcorn?"

I shook my head then looked to Johnny's way, "I'm not really hungry for popcorn so I'm stayin' here"

He shrugged and dragged Steve and Two-Bit with him. I then looked back at the screen to watch girls in swimming suits, dancing and singing on the sand. I wondered what it would be like if my life were like the movie. Well, you see I'm a greaser like my brother and friends. Greasers are poor East Side kids who drive in old, beaten cars, get drunk all night and get into fights with the Socials (Socs). Socs are rich West Side kids who have nearly everything they want or could have. We never have gotten along. We always were in rumbles against them or we jump each other.

"Hey Ponyboy" Dally called to me, he was looking over to the three, tuff looking girls in front of us. From behind they looked like Soc chicks.

"Yeah what about them?" I asked, being half-dumbfound.

"You and Johnny just sit and watch" Dally then threw a piece of paper towards them and it hit the one with black hair. She twitched a bit but didn't turn around yet. Dally threw another paper to the girl with cherry hair and she turned to Dally giving him a death glare. She was pretty good with the glare cause it freaked Johnny and I out.

Dally gave her a dangerous smirk, "Havin' a nice time, doll?"

The girl held her death glare then broke it with poking her tongue out. Dally looked a tiny bit surprised to see her stick her tongue out like that, "Hey doll, I'm talking to ya"

"And your point is?" The girl with brown hair turned around and stared right into Dally's eyes. By the look, she was real tuff and pretty. They were all real attractive.

"My point is that do you babes wanna go somewhere" Dally smirked and winked. Then he went up to the girl with cherry coloured hair and whispered in her ear, "I'm free".

The girl turned right around really quickly and splashed Dally with coke she was drinking, "I hope that would cool you down and learn how to speak properly to a girl".

The girl with black hair laughed, "Good one, Mandy". She seemed to look at Johnny and I then to Dally.

"So doll, your name's Mandy, eh?" Dally smirked his dangerous one and wiped the coke off his face, "I think you need to cool off too". He was about to grab Mandy's arm until Johnny butted in.

"Let them go"

"What?"

"Just leave them be, Dally" Johnny said, his voice turning into a whisper. It took a lot of him to say the just what he said cause Johnny praises the ground Dally walks on and admires him more than anyone else.

"Fine" Dally stalked away into the crowd. Johnny let out a small sigh. I peered at him, surprised. If it were someone else then Johnny, he would beaten up the person right now and-ouch- it would hurt as hell.

"Hey" Mandy looked both at us smiling, "Thanks"

Johnny nodded, going pink and he was smiling a bit.

The girl with black hair then knocked out of her tuff look she had on her face to a relived and normal look. I thought she was real pretty than anyone else, "I thought that wired guy would've beat us up for a moment".

"So what's your name?" asked Mandy.

"This is Johnny Cade and I'm Ponyboy Curtis" I was waiting for a 'Are you kidding?' or 'Is it really your name?' but instead the girl with black hair said, "You have a cool and original name, Ponyboy. Anyways I'm Jamie Young"

"As you guys know I'm Mandy. Amanda Hunter"

"Yeah and I'm Anita Greenwood", the girl with brown hair said, folding her arms.

"Nice to meet ya all" I said, looking at each of them. Then I remembered Jamie was in my squad A team for the track at school. She was as good as I was, "Jamie, ain't ya in my squad A track?"

"She looked at me blankly then nodded, "Oh yes, that's right. You're one of the extremely good runners"

At that I felt my ears go pink (only a teeny bit), "Hey, you are too you know".

"Hey Pony, Johnny!"

We all turned around to see Sodapop, Steve and Two-Bit nudged me in the rubs, "Who are these Soc chicks? Did ya pick them up, Pony?"

"No, we actually picked them up" Anita grinned "Anyways we're not 'Soc chicks' "

"We are just.hmm. normal girls who like to have an adventure, " Mandy said, thoughtfully.

"Yeah know normal people can mean anything but you babes don't look like Greasers to me" Steve said, gazed carefully at the three girls.

"We're not greasers either" Jamie leaned back into her seat, "We're middle class people. Not rich and not really poor but just in the middle"

"Well, you sure dress like one" Sodapop said, staring at Anita especially. Soda was right cause they wore nice and clean clothes and had cool hair. It wasn't greased or anything. Just natural and they looked pretty classy and that's why we thought they were Socs.

"So where're your boyfriends? Two-Bit asked and cocked up an eyebrow.

"We have no boyfriends" Mandy said "We came with our other girlfriends, Marie, Catrina and Kirstin"

"A-huh but Catrina had to go home cause her dad got sick so the others went with her too" Jamie said and sighed.

"Ok, sorry" I said to Jamie.

"Nah, don't be Pony. It's not gonna make anything better", Jamie said, raising her hands up in the air like she just gave up.

We then talked about how our gang came to the Nighty Double and about Dally. Anita said she, Mandy and Marie was in the school cheerleader team with Cherry Valance (she was a really nice Soc) and how Jamie, Mandy and Anita was going to get home since the movie finished.

"I'm going home with Anita and Mandy" Jamie said, pointing to them with her right thumb.

"How?" I asked, shortly.

"I suppose, we'll walk home" Mandy shrugged.

"It's dangerous out at night, dolls" Two-Bit said and I nodded.

"Like we've never walked home before and been jumped by Soc and beat them up", Anita muttered.

"Still!" Two-Bit argued with her.

"So when we'll just drop you girls off then" Sodapop said but it sounded more like a statement "Rightly"

"But-"

"It's ok, we're not gonna hurt ya" Two-Bit said, smirking at them, "We don't bite and anyways I'm driving"

"Man, with your attitude your gonna scare away the chicks!" Steve said, a lit a cigarette.

The three girls looked at each other then Jamie said, "Fine then". Her deep blue eyes were the most beautiful eyes you could ever see and she had wavy black hair. She seriously looked like a goddess that just came down to earth. Anita and Mandy's hair were both straight but Mandy's hair was up to her up to her waist and Anita's hair was up to her shoulders. Anita's hazel eyes were mysterious and passionate and for Mandy, her eyes were twinkling and calm and she also had violet eyes. I thought it was real cool. For some reason, it's like they have something hiding from us. Something they don't want to us to know.

"Ponyboy, what are you thinkin' about?" Jamie asked me as we all were walking to Two-Bit's T-Bird. I must've been in my little world and left Jamie standing there, staring at me with her blue eyes questioning me.

"Nothing, how do you know anyways?" I asked.

"I don't know. You looked like you're off somewhere else than here" Jamie said then yawned, "It is my special thing, I guess"

It is my special thing. The words repeated in my head. What did she mean? I wonder.
