Outsiders story
It was a cool evening in Tulsa. The greaser gang was outside fooling around. Ponyboy, Two-bit, Soda, Steve, Johnny, and Dally were all playing football in the lot. Darry was just too caught up with work to do anything today. Ponyboy, Johnny, and Soda were on the same team. It was an even match but because Dally was so strong they still felt out numbered. "Hey Sodapop over here! I'm open!" Ponyboy yelled at his older brother. Ponyboy jumped up to catch the football but was tackled down by Two-bit. "I told you kiddo I'm gunna cut of your air supply one day!" Two-bit laughed at Ponyboy. "Ugh Two-bit get off me!" Soda and Steve were laughing their heads off at nothing. "What's so funny guys?" Johnny piped up. Johnny had just gotten out of the hospital a few months ago after a crucial burning. Dally had gotten out way before Johnny only to hurt his arm worse in the rumble. But now that everyone is back everything is back to normal. After about 30 minutes Dally's team had beat them. 4-12. "Awwww man that's the 4th time this week we've lost!" exclaimed Soda. "It's not our fault you're so worried about protecting your brother!" screamed Steve. Steve didn't mean to be rude. He was just playing around with his best buddy. But before Steve could say anything else Soda tackled him to the ground. "Roar!" Soda said playfully. "Guys it's time to come inside." Darry yelled from the porch. "Alright!" They all said in unision.
"Charge!" Steve said as he ran through the door. Darry moved so Steve ran right through and tripped over his own feet. "Ow…" Steve moaned. "Steve!" Soda yelled. He sat down next to his best friend and checked to see if he was OK. Johnny and Ponyboy walked to the lot ignoring Darry. "Ponyboy! Get back here!" "Ah! I'm sorry!" He said running back with Johnny. "There ya are Pone." Two-bit laughed then he cocked one eyebrow. "Man I wish you would stop doing that Two-bit. I think Ponyboy is catching your attitude." Johnny coughed. They all got settled down and just started talking about random nonsense. Soda and Steve decided to play poker. Darry was doing push ups on the floor. "Come on Darry do 20 more!" Darry had already done 37. "How 'bout you get down here and do 20 yourself." He told Ponyboy. Two-bit was sitting on the sofa sharpening his switchblade. Dally and Johnny were just having a nice calm talk.
After 3 hours of hanging out they all went home. "Come on Pony it's time to go to bed." Soda yawned lazily. It was too late. Ponyboy had fallen asleep trying to do push ups. Soda just stared at him trying to figure out how that happened. Darry was outside and Soda knew the only one who could pick Ponyboy up without dropping him was Darry. "Darry…." Soda yawned. "Yes?" Darry poked his head in the door. "Come get Ponyboy and put him to bed. You know I can't carry him." "Fine."
The next morning was supposed to be normal, but it was an event that could change their lives forever.
