I DONT OWN THE OUTSIDERS! I wish i did...

Sodapop's POV

"Man, I hate workin' in the summer! It's like fucking 100 degrees and I have to work outside!" Steve grumbled.

"Yeah, yeah, quit your complainin'! I have to work outside too!" I said.

"Well, at least the girls get to see us with our shirts off," Steve said.

Same old Steve. He always complaining or talking about girls. Im glad he hasn't changed; I mean, everybody has changed sense the death of Johnny and Dally. It almost tore the group apart. No one talked for days. Steve and I BARELY talked. Two-bit wasn't cracking jokes; he was depressed. Darry was drinking. Ponyboy barely said a word. The deaths hit him hard. He saw both people die right before him. It took about 2 months to get a full sentence out of him.

After 3 months the gang finally started acting like themselves. Two-bit was crackin' jokes, Steve and me were going to drag races, Darry stopped drinking, and Ponyboy actually looked alive. Man, that might have been the best month of my life!

"SODA? Did you hear me?" Steve interrupted my thoughts.

"Uh, yeah...somethin' 'bout girls and rodeos?" I asked, not knowing at all.

"No. Seriously, your becoming more like Pony…always getting lost in your la la thought land place. But I said Do you wanna go see a movie after we get done with our shift?" Steve asked.

"No problem with me-Hey, I think our shift is over." I said.

I looked at a clock and it read 6:00 pm. End of our shift.

"Hey, your right. Come on, let's go!" Steve said excitedly.

He locked up the workshop and I locked up the station. We walked outside and got into Steves car and drove to my house.

When we got there, I got cleaned up and Steve did too. Darry wasn't home, and probably wouldn't be home till late. I left him a note sayin' we were gonna be out so he doesn't have a heart attack.

"Ponyboy? You home?" I yelled.

No answer. I went to our room and checked if he was in there, but he wasn't. Huh…He must've gone to the movies with Two-bit.

"Pone's at the movies, I guess. Maybe we'll run into him," I said to Steve.

"Yea, whatever. Come on! Lets go!" Steve yelled, and ran out the door.

I sighed and followed. The one thing I didn't know is that I was going to run into Ponyboy and Two-bit.. and I wasn't going to be happy.

I know this probably sucked...But review? :3 -Abby:)
