A/n- this is my first story so please review! Hugs!

Pony POV

I was dreaming I was in a Paul Newman movie when I jolted up from my brother Sodapop. Sodapop isn't my only brother. I have an older brother named Darry and a baby sister named Sophia.

Like I was saying before I got sidetracked, my brother Soda ran on my bed and start jumping so hard, I fell off the bed with a thud and groan.

" Rise and shine sleepy head!" Sodapop yelled and ran out the room before I could catch him. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and slowly stood up and walked into the kitchen where mom was cooking eggs, toast, and chocolate cake.

" Hey mama," I groaned rubbing my head. She gave me a weird look and smiled her golden smile.

" Hey baby, good morning," she replied giving me my breakfast and a kiss on the cheek. I ate my food quickly and went into the den where dad was sittin', still rubbing my head. He looked up from his paper and grinned.

" Hey son, why are you rubbing your head?" he asked.

" Soda jumped on my bed so hard that I fell off my bed and hit my head," I exclaimed. Dad just laughed and shook his head.

" That's Soda alright!" he said and went back to his paper. I took advantage of the time I had and took a fresh shower. After that I put grease in my hair and waited for Soda, and my friends, Johnny, Two- bit, and soda's friend, Steve.

I sat on the couch and relaxed. While I'm at it, I might as well tell you about everyone.

Lets start with mom first. Mom is golden all around. She has golden blonde hair and blue eyes. She's very beautiful and always happy. When she meets someone new, she always tries to find the good in them instead of the bad. However, she is still a very serious woman. Mom is 36 years old.

Dad is very handsome. Her is an all around great guy and will try to help anybody. He has a talent in which he can make anybody smile and laugh at even the worst situations. He has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He isn't exactly the most serious person though but he's tuff. He's young like mama and is only 40 years old but he looks 25 years old.

Next is Darry, his real name is Darrel Shane Him and I are kinda close but he's closer with dad and Soda. He just turned twenty and looks just like Dad. He has dark brown hair, and has Dad's face but his eyes are his own. They are like two pieces of pale blue- green ice. Darry would be handsome if his eyes weren't so cold. He just doesn't look twenty… he looks older- tough, smart, and cool.

Now is Soda… Soda is the brother I'm closest with. He looks a lot like mom. He has dark- gold hair and brown eyes; Soda has Dad's eyes. He isn't handsome like Dad or Darry is, Soda is like movie star kind of handsome. Soda is sixteen- going-on- seventeen.

Finally, is me. My name is Ponyboy and I'm 13, almost 14 years old. I have green- gray eyes and light brown hair that is a little bit red. I'm nothin like Darry and Soda or anyone in my family for that matter. I'm the odd ball, runt, of the family. I like movies and books. I like to write and I'm a real fast runner. I'm 5"7 and I have a pretty good build for a kid my age.

A/n- this was a pretty boring chapter but it'll get better. I know, lame ending!
