After her class, Violet waited with Cherry for Ponyboy to come to lunch with them. Of course Cherry didn't know that they were waiting for Ponyboy, but that's what Violet was doing.
"Why are we still waiting?" Cherry asked her. "I wanna go to lunch!" She ordered. Ponyboy walked out of his classroom and walked to his locker. He looked over at Violet and then looked away. Violet took that at the signal that he wasn't joining them.
"Come on, Cherry." Violet said, as they began walking to the cafeteria.
"You like Pony, don't you?" Cherry asked Violet while they walked. Violet blushed.
"I guess. He's really nice and cute." Violet gushed. Cherry rolled her eyes.
"Please, don't waste your time. We got perfect Soc boys for you here." She said. Violet thought a minute.
Pony said he knew Cherry.
Cherry knows Pony.
Cherry's trying to distract Violet from Pony.
CHERRY LIKES PONY!
"You like him too, don't you!" Violet said, feeling as though she had caught Cherry in the act.
"No way! I still love Bob, although he's dead! I'll never love again!" Cherry said, a little too overdramatic. Violet nodded.
"Mhm…sure." She teased Cherry, who shook her head.
"Whatever, don't believe me!" Cherry scoffed, as they entered the cafeteria and took a seat at their table. Violet turned around to see Ponyboy sitting alone at a table by the dumpsters.
"Hey Cherry, hey Violet! These are my friends Colleen and Rachel." Marcia said, introducing Violet to the girls, who smiled and then continued talking to each other. Violet didn't mind the fact that she didn't get along with these girls so well. She didn't mind that they didn't want to talk to her, and she didn't mind that she didn't want to talk to them. She knew she got along better with guys, which is why she was so sure she could be great friends with Ponyboy.
Violet looked over at him. He was alone. He looked unhappy. She sighed.
"Hey, Cher?" She asked Cherry. "I'm gonna go find a new seat it was nice of you to let me sit here though." She said, before grabbing her brown bagged lunch and walking towards Pony's table. She left the whole table wondering 'What the heck?'.
Violet smiled in Pony's direction as she slowly made her way over. He looked back, smiled, and waved until something was in his way. A football player, and a soc, had jumped in Violet's way.
"You're that new Soc girl, Cherry's cousin, Violet right?" He was very cute, but you could tell he was completely cocky.
"Yes I am, now if you'd please-" He cut her off.
"I'm Richard Newman, also a Soc, folks call me Rich, though." He smiled, so full of himself. Violet rolled her eyes. She tried to push her way past, but he blocked her.
"Let's say you and me, tonight, the drive in, baby?" Rich raised his eyebrows.
"Let's not, and say we did. Okay? Now please move!" Violet cried. Pony could see the force that Rich was putting on her, and he got up to help her.
"Leave her alone!" Ponyboy shouted, running to Violet's side. By now a crowd of eager high schoolers was forming around the argument. People shouted 'Fight, Fight, Fight!' Even Cherry and Marcia and the two girls, Colleen and Rachel got up to see what was going on.
Rich mimicked Pony. "Leave her alone! Ha-ha, shut up Greaser, go grease your hair!" Rich cracked. Pony was fuming, and you could tell he wanted to rip Rich's head off. Violet held Pony's hand back. The crowd waited to see what would happen.
"Hey Rich," Violet said in a sexy voice, trying to distract him. "You know how folks call you Rich, did they ever try…oh I don't know, Dick!?" Violet asked before kicking the crap out of his knee.
"Hey, you bitch!" He slapped her across the face. The crowd went wild.
"Fight!" Someone shouted.
"Violet! Rich what are you doing!" Cherry cried.
"Get off of her!" Ponyboy screamed, as he grabbed hold of Rich's shoulder blade, and pushed him down.
"Pony!" Violet cried, as Rich jumped up and smashed Pony's head to a table, and then jumped back to attack her. People either cheered them on, or stood in awe.
"RICHARD NEWMAN! STOP!!!" Cherry shouted. Marcia just put her hand over her mouth in terror.
"How you like me now!" Rich cried, punching Violet's cheekbone.
"SHE'S A GIRL!" Now people were mad that Rich would actually beat up a girl. Who does that anyway?
"Man, stop!" Violet cried out of breath. Ponyboy groaned, and stood up to help Violet. He tapped Rich's shoulder, and when Rich turned around, Pony pulled his fist back to punch, but someone grabbed it to stop it.
"PONYBOY CURTIS, VIOLET HARK, and RICHARD NEWMAN! REPORT TO MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY! IMMEDIATELY!" It was Principal Cline. They were in big fucking trouble now.
