Ponyboy pov

It was 2nd class I have this class with alot of socs since im in higher classes. There is this one soc here that hates me though. His name is Ricky I don't know why he hates me so much he just does. Then again socs hate greasers but this seemed more personal. I sat in my seat when Ricky came up to me

"Hey there grease" I ignores him "I'm talking to you" I still didn't listen. That was a mistake. He punched me in the stomach hard. I fell out of my seat. He looked at me "Come on grease what you gonna do about it?" "Leave me alone" I mumbled. Just as he raised his hand for another hit the teacher walked in so Ricky left. "This is not over" He whispered as he went to his seat.

After class I went out to find the gang since it was lunch hour. All of a sudden someone hit me from the back and i fell hard to the floor. "That's were you belong grease. I told you I wasn't done" Why can't Ricky just leave me alone I didn't do anything to him. I felt a hard kick in the ribs. I heard them laugh as another one kicked my ribs again.

"What should we do with the trash?" one said Ricky looked at me then smiled he kicked me in the head. I was dizzy. They were gonna hit me again when someone yelled

"Get away from him!" I recognized Steve's voice. Ricky saw him and they all ran. I guess it was because Steve had a switch with him.

"You okay kid?" Why would he care he doesn't even like me. "Yeah im okay" I was lying though. My ribs hurt so bad and I was dizzy. He looked at me closer "You sure your okay I saw you take a big hit there" "Why do you care?" I mumbled but he heard me. "Look kid just because we do not always get along does not mean I want you hurt." I didn't know what to say so I just went with "Thanks" He nodded.

He helped me up "Lets find the others." We found them they were waiting in Two-Bits car. "What took you guys so long?" Two-Bit asked. "Yeah were hungry guys" I looked at Lucy "Sorry I had to get my books in my locker." I looked at Steve hoping he wouldn't say anything. I guess he knew so he just nodded. "Yeah I found him at his locker" I mentally thanked him. "Ummm Okay" Johnny added.

"Hey were are the girls?" "Kat said they had to get work done so they would not be coming to lunch with us" Two-Bit answered my question but thats strange even for the girls.

When we got to the DX Steve started his shift and the rest of us got a bit to eat. "Hey Pony!" Soda yelled "Hey Soda" He looked me over "You okay Ponyboy?" "Yeah im fine" I didn't like lying to him but I didn't want to worry him. "Okay then." He headed back to work. Johnny and Sky come to sit next to be.

"You want to tell me whats really going on?". "Nothing is going on" Johnny looked at me "Come on man I know you. Whats going on? you can tell me"

I didn't answer and just stared at my food. Johnny dropped the subject for now.

We went back to school. All except Steve he had to work. When school ended I went to my locker to put my things away. I still had a big headache "Hey guys look the trash has no friends now" Great I thought Ricky again. "Why can't you guys just leave me alone?" He kneed me in the stomach. "We will get you grease. So watch your back" With that he left. I was alittle scared. What are they planning?

I went to go to Two-Bits car when I ran into Johnny "There you are what took you so long?" he looked me over "Hey you okay?" "Yeah im fine lets go." We walked back to Two-Bit. "Seriously Pony what were you doing?" "Sorry Two-Bit had to talk to a teacher" Hopefully that was convincing." We drove to my house. I hope that Ricky doesn't take things to far.

That's chapter 1 What do you think will happen next. Will the soc take it too far? I hope you guys like it. If you do please tell me and i will have chapter 2 done by tonight. tell me what family i should center my next story on.

heres a sneak peek to chapter 2... Darry looks at Steve "Do you know whats wrong with him?" "Hold that question Dar." He walked out to find Pony "Kid your brothers want to know whats going on with you" Pony stood up "Do not tell them make something up" Steve walked away and ran into Lucy, Juliana, Kathrine, and his sister Skylar "You want to tell me why you four didn't go back school? or did you think i wouldn't find out?"

What will steve do? Why didn't the girls go back to school? How did steve find out? What are the girls hiding?

It will all be answered in chapter 2
