After Johnny and Dally
The week after Johnny and Dally died, I tried acting tuff but all it did was make my grades low. I couldn't get it out of my mind that Johnny was honored like a hero and Dally wasn't honored at all. He was just known as a violent juvenile delinquent.
Johnny was the one that killed Bob because Bob was drowning me. Dally, me and Johnny were the ones who rescued the little kids from the old burning church. But we were injured badly and needed to go to the hospital near my home where my brothers, Soda and Darry came to get me.
I forgot to tell you. I am in a gang with my brothers. Its not that I wanted to, I'm just in it for the hair. You see, I'm a greaser and from the east side. Our rivals are the rich but very violent Socs.(socials)
When Darry, Soda and I went to their funeral, we were the only ones who cared to asked to put their graves close together because their parents don't care about them at all. Johnny was the only thing that Dally had and once he died, Dally robbed a grocery store and held an unloaded gun to cops and they shot him. Johnny looked peaceful in his casket but we couldn't see Dally because the wounds were too gory.
After the next weeks, our life went back to normal except me. Me and Darry became close like Soda and him were. Soda never even bothered Sandy in Florida again because he knew his letters would come back unopened. Anyway, all the girls go to the gas station where he worked because he is the best looking boy around.
Two-bit and Steve came over a lot more since there was no one else to bother. Usually, them and me would go over to the store to get some coke for lunch because there was too many Socs there. It was amazing though that we were blamed for everything even though its rare to see a greaser in the cafeteria.
People are still afraid of me at school and the Socs stay out of our territory most of the time.(only the ones that jump us) Cherry and Marcia drop by sometimes. I think they come over because of me.
One day, when soda was eating his chocolate cake for breakfast, he said," Hey Darry! Want a message?" "No way," Darry replied," you always put me to sleep so that you and Ponyboy could goof off in the yard!"
Soda just grinned his crazy smile so Darry had to let Soda message him. Once Darry was asleep, me and Soda went to the front. Soda yelled," See if you could beat this!" Then he did a double back flip and a no handed cartwheel.
I replied," Watch this!" And then I did a double black flip off the porch and a front flip and two no handed cartwheels. We did that until we found out that Darry was watching and then Soda just grinned. Like a bullet, Darry shot out of the door and started to do back and front flips all over the place!
