Ponyboy P.O.V
I sat slowly on the cold, hard wooden floor of the train thinking of what I should do next. I sat there for a while in deep thought until I heard a noise near my feet. I got up quietly and tip toed to where the sound was. I found nothing. So I went back to my spot and sat down. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
A few moments later I awoke to another sound. I was getting annoyed. So I opened my eyes to see a hobo staring straight at me.
He shouted loudly, "Hey Kid!" I jumped and almost fell of the side of train, but he grabbed the front of my shirt and pulled me back in. "What do you think you're doing in here did you run away from your family"
"Umm it's kind of a long story."
"I got time kid."
"Well …." I told him all that happened from the day I got jumped to when Dally died on the lonely streets of Tulsa.
"Well you've been through a lot kid."
"Ya you're not kidding."
"Here is some advice kid, you only have one life kid, so live each day like it's your last. No do-overs."
"Thanks that would be useful when I need it."
"No problem kid."
Just then I felt the train stop. I then jumped out of the train. I ran from the station and walked the lonely streets of New York. I was walking along the street to a dark alley. I was going to walk past it, until I saw someone getting jumped by three dark figures. I ran into the alley took my switchblade and I put it up to one of the guy's neck. The other one was too much of a chiken and ran away.
"what do you think you are doing to him?" I asked through gritted teeth
"N-nothing I was j-just having a c-chat with him." the guy stuttered out
"Well are you going to do this anymore"
"no. no I won't."
"Good boy. Now scram!" I yelled
He ran quickly out of the alley. I sighed and turned to the boy. He was about 4"9 – 4"12 with blonde hair and a stocky build.
"What's your name kid?"
"Kevin but you can call me snatcher."
"I'm Ponyboy I know it's a funny name. go ahead and laugh."
"Don't worry I won't. you know your pretty cool. Want to meet the gang? Maybe they'll let you join."
"Sure kid."
"Also we'll work on a name for you."
"Ok kid."
We walked for a while until we reached an old abandoned barn.
"What are we doing here?"
"This is our hang out."
"Oh really?"
"Yupp."
We walked into the barn and stopped in front of the gang
"Hey guys this is Ponyboy can he join the gang?" Kevin asked
"Why Snatcher you know we don't need anyone else." The gang leader asked
"He practically saved my life. I got jumped by Eric's gang, but Ponyboy came up behind him and put his switchblade up to his neck and scared him away."
"Alright I'll ask the boys." He sighed
I heard in the other room the leader asked the rest to come in
"Guys this is Ponyboy, Snatcher wants him in the gang."
The whole gang laughed at his name, saw he was serious and shut their mouths quickly.
"What do you guys think? Let him in or out?"
They all were thinking until a tall, black- haired kid looking like he is 14 asked, "Do you have any fighting skills?"
"Like what kind of fighting skills?"
"You know throwing kicks, punches, and can cut up anyone in a second."
"Um ya I can do all that especially that cut up especially with my switchblade"
"Alright kid, you're in the gang welcome." The gang leader told me
"Thanks" I replied
"First we'll have to find a name that suits you."
"Something that suits you" Snatcher added
