The Outsiders
"Hurry up, Ponyboy! Your gonna be late!" Darry exclaimed
"I know, I know! I'm just wondering when did you start shaving?"
"I have told you already!"
"I know I just forgot ok. Can you tell me?"
" 13, what you thinking about shaving?" Darry asked laughing.
" Maybe." I said with a smile.
"Can we go now?" Darry asked almost furiously.
"All right let me grab my things" I replied
As Darry and I were heading to the car Two-Bit and Steve came running towards us.
"You guys gotta come see this! Sodapop is joined in the rodeo for the first time!" Steve screamed, trying not to pass out from running so fast.
"Sodapop, my brother is in the rodeo? Ahahahahaha" Ponyboy said trying hard to stop laughing. "The thought cracks me up! Soda hasn't ridden a horse since Mickey Mouse and he was 8 back then!"
Darry stood there in awe.
If your younger brother were entered in his first rodeo without telling you first you would feel the socking surprise.
Darry barely lets me skip school so this was a day to cherish!
All of us got in the car and drove straight to the rodeos as fast as we could. It was kind of shocking to see MY brother DARRY driving like he was Dally.
We got there just in time to see Sodapop get on this black and grey horse an be let out. It seemed like 2 seconds before Soda was thrown off this horse, but the crowd full of hoods and gangsters loved it!
"2.5 seconds" Buck announced
Buck was the "organizer" for all the rodeos.
"Pretty good for a first timer Soda"
Any one could recognize that voice. It sure enough was Dally. Dally comes to every rodeo and wins almost all of them. All of us, Darry, Sodapop, Steve, Dally, Johnnycake (although he wasn't there), Two-bit and I are Greasers.
Greasers are sort of hoods. We get our name-Greasers- because we wear our hair so greasy-especially Johnnycake. It's kind of our mark to tell who's who.
Sodapop was at the gate when Dally came up.
"Why, thank you" Soda said sarcastically
"What made you join up anyways? You never liked this stuff before except when you had." Darry said but was cut off short
"I met a girl, her name is Sally. She's a blond Two-bit" Soda said again sarcastically.
Sodapop is known for his humor. When you're down he will turn things around. That's why he gets all the girls around here. Not that I like them. The only girls that would consider dating a greaser would be a greaser. Greaser girls are NOT my type. I like more of the socs like this girl I got jumbled with named Cherry and, well that's another storey. Like i was saying- everyone loves Soda, if you met him and get to know him you would fall in love with him if your a girl or if your a guy you would want to BE him. But not only Sodapop is funny, but Steve, his best friend and Two-Bit. You could never tell if Two-Bit is drunk or not, well he doesn't have to be drunk to be funny. Lets get back to my story-
"You met a girl, oh what am I saying you always meet girls, blonds, brunettes all types." Two-Bit said joking around
" Is it serious enough to get killed over in some rodeo? No offence Dally," Ponyboy questioned.
"None takin'" Dally replied to Ponyboy's remark.
"I think so. You HAVE to meet her she is gorgeous and funny and did I say gorgeous?" Soda replied to what has been said.
"I sure would like to see this chick" Dally said
"Don't think about it Dally" Sodapop said sarcastically.
"How 'bout she come over for dinner tomorrow night? And she can meet the whole gang." Darry suggested.
"Fine by me" Two-Bit, Steve, Dally and I replied.
"OK. I'll ask her tomorrow morning, we are meeting up for breakfast."
"Where the Waffle House and buy somthin' cheep?" Two-Bit said and got everyone laughing
"I aint tellin' cuz if I know you guys you would come spyin' on me"
"Fine, see you later tonight, or do you want a ride home?" Darry asked
" I'll get a ride"
"Ok but if you need a ride call anyone of us" Darry said.
