Alright, I am trying my hand at an Outsiders fanfic. The real book is amazing( except I don't like the ending). So hope fully you like it. I tried my best to make the character act the same as they did in the book.( That means no wussy Ponyboy! Yay) oh this is set a few months after his parents are dead meaning dally and johnny are alive! ( Yay as well) pony 13, soda 16 and darrys 19-20 ish.
Disclaimer- I don't own anything except for what I own.
What I had thought to be impossible had happened. I had gotten all A+'s on my report card. Not saying that I wasn't smart but normally I just got A's and if I was doing really bad A-'s( who needs French anyways).
I knew Darry would be pleased because heck, I was beyond thrilled. Slinging my beat up blue back pack over my shoulder I started walking home.
Behind me I heard what could only be Two- Bits truck. It could be heard a mile away. The red paint was chipped and the engine groaned loudly in protest but for some unthinkable reason, he like it that way.
He honked the horn and pulled over beside me, causing me to jump out of the way to avoid being ran over. It made me wonder who had ever giving two bit his drivers licenses anyways.
He rolled down the window propping one elbow up against it.
" How'd ya do Pony?" two bit smiled referring to my report card.
" All A+'s" I replied trying not to gloat.
"Wow Pony only A+'s I'm disappointed!" he joked while cockling any eyebrow.
" And you did better?" I enquired trying to raise an eye brow as well.
" Only failed one class, but who needs math anyways?" I was about to say that EVERYONE needed math but decided ageist it. Only failing one class was a big accomplishment and I didn't want to be the one to rain on his parade.
" We both did so well we should celebrate!" Two-Bit suggested excitedly.
" How about to Buck's?" he asked. I nodded hesitantly, Bucks was a bar but since Darry and Buck were good friends, he let me in under age. Besides, the Pepsi was super cheep there!
I walked around and climbed into the back of the truck, just barley seated before Two-Bit sped off, much over the speed limit.
We walked into buck. Since it was afternoonish, it was fairly empty and I was grateful for that. This was the place for all the hoods hung out and it didn't take much to pick a fight with them.
Two-Bit walked up to the counter and order two Pepsi's. I was slightly surprise because knowing Two-Bit, I thought for sure he had planed to get boozed up.
He probably noticed my confusion. Lightly punching my shoulder he said
" Oh, I'm not that good Pony, bucks going to spike the drink( it's when you pour alcohol in a non alcoholic drink) for me." That made much more sense. The day fun loving Two-Bit passed up a chance to drink was the day I'd get a F on my report card.
" Hey Two-Bit!" some man called from the back of the bar. Two bit glanced at me saying that he'd be back in a minute just as the drinks arrived.
Thirstily, I grabbed my Pepsi and took a huge gulp, almost choking. Swallowing, I looked up at buck.
" Why does the drink taste so weird " I wonder. He held up a bottle.
" This new diet stuff, not as good as the original is it?" shrugging, I finished off the rest of my drink, getting used to the taste. In fact, I liked the diet Pepsi even more than the original kind.
" Gees kid, you must of been thirsty" two bit laughed looking at my empty glass. I wasn't paying attention or really concentrating on what he was saying.
Two bit raised his glass to his lips and took a small sip. Suddenly his eyes widening and he slowly put his glass down.
" Um buck, what drink did you give pony " Two-Bit asked sounding a bit panicked.
"The Pepsi in the blue..." He trailed off, realizing his mistake.
" How do ya feel Pony" Two-Bit said looking down at me. I couldn't help but laugh at his face. Worry did not look good on him.
My head did kinda hurt but I shrugged it off and started zoning out again.
" Concentrate Pony!" Two -Bit cried holding my chin in his hand to force me to look him in the eyes. My mind still wandered though.
" I bet you I could lift up the car" I said as I slipped of the bar stool and stumbled into an near by table.
"You really need to pay more attention before you hand more people the wrong drinks again" Two-Bit growled as he rushed to catch up with me.
Two-Bit pov
I would of found this funny if I wasn't going to be killed by Darry. Poor Pony was only 13. Even I wasn't that young when I had first gotten drunk. Because pony was so small, one drink had really done him in. He stumbled beside me rambling about Cherry Valence and her looks. I had to continually grab his arm so he would fall over.
He grinned crazily up at me and I couldn't help but smile and wonder if this was how I acted all the time.
The smile was wiped off my face as the Curtis house came into view. Good bye life. I braced my self for what Darry would do to me.
" Ponyboy, just walk into the house and go take a cold shower. That should knock some sense into ya." I taped him in the back of the head.
I watched him walk up the path and get to the stairs. By a miracle, he managed to walked up all three stairs without completely falling.
I was home free. Pony was almost inside and Darry wasn't home yet.
" Hey Two-Bit, what brings you around?" a deep voice asked me.
I did a double take. Darry! He slammed the door shut of his truck. I had been so use to my loud truck, that I hadn't even noticed him pull up into the drive way.
Pony was fumbling with the door knob and I prayed he would hurry up.
" How was school. " Darry called out to Ponyboy. I prayed that he wouldn't say anything. I watched in horror as he turned around open his month but glancing over at me shut it again. I sighed in relief but it was short lived as Ponyboy ran into the door frame.
I could hear Darry chuckle, but it sounded angry instead of happy.
" Remember that chart wheel you were working on this morning. Well why don't you try now."
I was shaking as I watched Ponyboy attempt and fail his cartwheel. Darry hauled a dazed looking Ponyboy up by his arm and gave him a shove towards the door.
" I will meet you inside young man" Darry said in a whisper that sounded amused and Angey at the same time. Darry has a way that when he whispers it actually more frightening. I remember once I called him a people whisperer( like the ghost whisperer) that nick name didn't go over so well, along with many others I have called him in the past few years.
I watched as an unaware pony managed his way in side, this time not running into the door .
Darry turned to me.
" As for you..."
" Is it your idea of fun to two get some 13 year old kid drunk?"
" No" I stammered" Buck gave him my drink by mistake" whatever Darry was going to say no longer applied. He looked at me like he wanted to want to take him anger out on someone.
"I talk to Buck, that's for sure" he growled as he turned to walk up the path. Taking this chance, I speed walked away, happy not to be the target of an angry Darry.
Ponyboy pov
Everything felt... Numb. It was like I was walking around in a dream where I was unable to control what I did. My mind felt numb as well and I didn't resister the usually fear I felt when Darry walked up to me, looking disappointed.
" Pony, now I know that you didn't purposely get drunk but you should have some sense not to go in a bar for crying out loud!" he had raised his voice, getting louder by each word.
I pretended I was a solider and gave Darry a solute and stood at attention . He looked at me blanking muttering
" This is a waste of time!"
Some how I realized the conversation was done so I continued to take my shower. Two-Bit sure was right. I felt like someone had woken up from my dream. The cold water revived my senses and I felt less drunk afterwards.
I crawled under the sheets, my hair still slightly wet. Dozing off quickly , I fell into a fitful sleep
I took the time to write this so could you please take the time to ...
