Disclaimer: You know the drill. I don't own the Outsiders, S.E. Hinton does. But Vicki (who will come in later) is mine, or actually me in a sense. Please R+R.
"Bus!" I heard someone yell. I rolled off my bed. "Ow!" I shouted. I grabbed my shirt and some pants and took off down the stairs. I almost tripped on the loose step at the bottom.
Two-Bit was standing at the door waiting for me. I grabbed a piece of cake off the table, and put my pants on as I hopped out the door. "Why the hell didn't Darry wake me up?" I asked.
"He tried," Two-Bit said. "You just rolled over and went back to sleep. I swear you're as bad as I am Pony."
"Awww ain't no one as lazy as you Two-Bit," I said. God I swear people can be so damn annoying. Two-Bit is still in High school at eighteen and a half. I don't see how someone who gets boozed up all the time can like school so much.
"Kid you're getting so mouthy. You'd better watch it or them Socs will be all over you."
"Oh shove it up your—" I started to yell. The bus driver slammed on the breaks. "You two! Off! Now!"
Two-Bit and I got off. We walked the rest of the way to school. Well we did stop and see Soda and Steve first, and buy some smokes.
When we finally did get to school we were twenty minutes late. After forty years the principal sent us to class. Unfortunately I didn't miss history, god do I hate that class. I was all slumped in my seat when the principal came in.
"Glory! What did I do now?" I asked, aloud. "Sit down Curtis," the principal said to me.
He stepped into the classroom. A girl that looked my age walked in behind him. "Class I would like to introduce a new student. Her name is Vicki Howard, she just moved her from…."
"Dude. They didn't ask for my life story!" She said. The principal whispered something to the teacher and left.
Vicki was wearing a leather jacket, a cut-off tee, a leather skirt, and black boots. Her hair was red, long in the front and short in the back. But she didn't look like the other greaser girls I knew.
She sat down in the empty seat next to me. She look at me. Man was this chick weird. "I'm Ponyboy Curtis." She laughed.
"Miss Howard and Mr. Curtis is there a problem here?" I shook my head. Vicki told her to stuff it. We both ended up with detention.
