Hello, here's a quick second chapter. And just so you know, Pony, Johnny, Soda, Steve, Two-Bit, their girlfriends, Curly and Tim all go to school together in the story. So here it is-

Ponyboy walked op the sidewalk to his high school with his older brother Sodapop and best friend Johnny. It was so far a normal day, till Steve came running round the corner.

"Did you guys heat?" He asked the three.

"What?" Ponyboy asked.

"Marcia and Randy got killed last night." He exclaimed.

"What?" Johnny asked, getting spooked.

"Aren't they Socs?" Soda said.

"Yeah, but we're not just talking murdered, they were ripped open killed! Marcia's parents came home and found her hanging in a tree. Her insides on the outside." Steve said explaining every detail.

"That's disgusting." Johnny said grossed out.

"Do they know who did it?" Asked Sodapop.

"Nope, clueless. Police are gonna interrogate everyone at school. Students, teachers you name it."

"They think someone at school did it?"

"They don't know. It's the worse crime they've seen in Tulsa in years. Worse then-" Steve stopped himself before he could continue speaking. He looked over at Ponyboy, he had his head down, and he hadn't really said anything. Soda looked a little touchy too. "Well…it's just really bad." He finished.

A year ago Ponyboy and Sodapop's parents were murdered. The only suspect the police had was some greaser from Shepherd's gang, so he was put in jail. Their older brother Darrel was twenty now had custody of them. Soda was doing a lot better, but Pony couldn't even hear the word "Dead" without getting upset. So most of the time people tiptoed around him when it came to death or his parents.

Later on that day at lunch the four sat with the people they always did. Curly and Tim Shepherd, Two-Bit, Soda's girlfriend Sandy, Steve's girlfriend Evie, and Two-Bit's girlfriend Kathy. They always went outside on the football field bleachers, since it was the only time the football team wasn't there. Dallas wasn't in school anymore but sometimes he'd stop by, and since today everyone wanted to talk about the murders he came. The people who already got interrogated by the fuzz were comparing notes.

"They asked me if I was friends with Marcia." Evie stated.

"Yeah me too." Added Kathy.

"They asked me if I liked to hunt, anyone else get asked that?" Steve asked. Soda, Two-Bit and Curly all said yes. Ponyboy was already asked questions, but he just kept eating his sandwich and taking swigs of his Pepsi. It was his second one. He drank Pepsi more when he was nervous.

"Why would they ask that?" Kathy asked.

"Cause the bodies were gutted." Two-Bit stated.

"Gee thanks, Two-Bit." Dally said sarcastically then took a drag of his cigarette.

"They didn't ask me if I like to hunt." Said Sandy.

"That's cause there's no way a girl could've killed 'em." Curly explained to her.

"How come?"

"Those Socs were hallowed out, it takes a man to do that."

"How do you…gut someone?" Johnny asked stuttering over his words. Curly looked over at Johnny and got a smirk on his face.

"Take a knife, and grit 'em from groin to sternum." He said using hand motions.

"That's called tact smartass." Dallas told him.

"So what? It's not like I killed 'em."

"Nobody said you did." Dally shot back.

"Besides, it takes a man to do something like that!" Said Two-Bit going back to the man thing.

"Yeah well I'm gonna gut your ass in a second, kid." Said Tim.

"Hey tell me something." Two-Bit said then changed his voice to one of his cartoon impressions. "Did ya really put her liver in the mailbox? Cause that's what I heard, right next to her spleen and pancreas."

Ponyboy couldn't take it anymore. He stood up with his Pepsi, tapped Johnny's shoulder and the two got up and walked away. Soda followed behind.

"Cut it out, Two-Bit, some of us are trying to eat here." Sylvia said throwing a chip at him.

"Yeah Two-Bit liver alone. Get it? Liv-er alone?" Steve said trying to be funny. Dally threw his cancer stick but at his head. "It was just a joke, buddy."

"Leave the jokes to me, mine are actually good." Said Two-Bit.

"Yeah right." Said Sandy.

When school ended, Steve and Soda went off to work, Johnny and Two-bit decided to hang out somewhere, and who knew where the rest were. Ponyboy went home, he just wanted to get away from all the talk about murder. Darry was still at work, so Soda didn't want him being home alone. "It'll be find, Darry'll come home in a little bit and everything will be fine. I'll do my homework while I wait." Ponyboy told him.

But he didn't start it right away. He wanted to relax first. He grabbed some chocolate cake from the fridge and sat down on the couch and began flipping trough the channels. Nothing good was on. And a bunch of the news channels were talking about the killings. One even brought up his parents' murder. When that happened he turned off the TV, laid down and ended up dozing off.

When he woke up, it was a lot darker. None of the lights were on, Soda and Steve weren't home yet. Must have been working late. The phone started ringing. Ponyboy figured it was one of them saying they'd be home soon. So he got up and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Helloo, Ponyboy…."

Dun Dun Dunnn Yeah I'm ending it there! Review to find out what happens to Ponyboy!
