Wow, I'm on a roll!

The football game was... unlike any other. It seemed like there were some traitors on Darry's team. Yes. Sodapop Curtis was cheating so that his brother would loose. Why? Well, because he was staring to fall for one of the girls he had met that morning. Not that he knew that... no... he just thought it was because he felt it was wrong to banish them to a life hoboism. So... Sodapop did something that he knew would mess up Darry... It seemed like all was going well, Darry's team was wining by only one point, the girls were putting up a fight, but Sodapop wouldn't have that. They need to win and he was going to help them.

"Darry!" He called out during a time-out. Darry hurried over to his brother to see what was the matter, Sodapop had said it in a quite scared voice.

"What's going on, buddy?" He questioned. Sodapop took a deep breath, acting like the words he was bout to say were killing him. Though the truth was he was just waiting until the perfect time were Darry wouldn't have any time left to question him on what he was about to say.

"Ponyboy said he got a girl pregant." He confessed and the teams were called back in. Darry wasn't moving, he was stuck in a state of shock so Sodapop gave him a little shove.

"Have fun! WIN!" He told him, giving his famous Sodapop smile and ran back into the crowd of people. After that, the playing was leveled out... Darry was a bit... distracted. (Who can blame him?)

They girls were doing quite a bit of cheating. Or, well, they were trying. They were just sitting there and yelling out things that they hoped would distract them and get their team a point but nothing was really working for them. It was the last run and things weer going crazy! The score was tied and Darry looked to be running fast enough... he was going to score, the girl were going to be hobos!

Then, Meg did the weirdest thing.

"BEES!" She screamed and run out in the field, her hand's batting at the bugs flying around her head. Darry stopped running because he was terrified of bees and Adam managed to just grab the ball from him and score the point. After a moment of cheering Darry calmed down about the bes and realized what had happened.

Darry Curtis got beat in football.

By girls.

Adam smiling and strutted over to him.

"So how about THEM corn muffins."

…

The girls all went back to the Curtis house and tried to find places to sleep for the night.

"Someone can take my old room... I'll be sleeping in there. Pony, someone can sleep in your room. Someone can go with Darry. One on the couch... And the other..." Sodapop scrunched his eyebrows together, trying to think of another place where someone could spend the night.

"Someone could sleep at my house." Steve offered, "My old man said he was heading for California, yea good luck to him... I say we have maybe a month before he comes back." Sodapop thanked Steve and started to assign people rooms.

"Adam, why don't you go with Pony. Gigi, I guess you could come with me... Sam, you can TRY and survive being in the same room as Darry for a night. Meg, you can stay the night at Steve's." Meg took one look at Steve and made a disgusted face. Adam did the same with Ponyboy.

"No. No way am I sharing a room with that weird ass punk." She complained and Ponyboy made an offended face but said nothing.

"Come on, Addie, that's not nice!" Meg told her, "What's wrong with Ponyboy?"

"He's FOLLOWER!" Adam pretty much yelled.

"Oh not this again." Gigi groaned and Sam banged her head on a wall.

"Please don't get into this." Sam whispered.

"Oh yea?" Meg challenged, "Well, Steve's a hothead!" Both girls got quiet and just glared at each other. This was not the first time a conversation like this had happened. After the girls had read the book they had both taken sides on the Ponyboy: follower? Or nice kid? It got down to a lot of name calling and someone always ended up getting tackled. It was usually Meg because Addie was, just a little bit of a hothead.

"I take it back!" Addie yelled, "Ponyboy's not a follower! YOU ARE!"

"Yea?" Meg asked, "Well, you're a hothead!"

"Follower!"

"Hothead!"

"Follower!"

"Hothead!"

"FOLLOWER!
"HOTHEAD!
"BITCH!" Addie screamed and jumped on Meg. The boys just watched, trying not to laugh as the Gigi and Sam rolled their eyes. Gigi looked up at Sam.

"You going to break them up?" She asked. Sam sighed.

"I guess I have to." She told her and grabbed both girls, yanking them apart.

"Addie." She told the hothead, "Corner." Addie dropped her head and went to go stand in the corner. Meg laughed and stuck out her tongue but Sam frowned at her.

"You too." Meg whined and went to another corner. The boys just looked around and Gigi spoke up.

"I think it would better if Addie went with Steve and Meg with Pony." The others nodded in agreement.

"So we're all set?" Sodapop asked and Eve walked in. (What, did you think she DIED?)

"What about me?" She asked. Sodapop sighed.

"I guess you can take the couch. Dallas might come around late tonight though, just don't scream if he sits on you." Eve nodded.

"I'll do my best." Everyone laughed and Two-Bit pulled out his blade. He polished it on his shirt out of habit before putting it away. Though the twinkle of silver caught Addie's eye.

"OH! A knife!" She said and made a move to take it. Sam frowned again.

"Adam." She said in a warning tone, pointing to the corner again.

"Sorry..." She told her in a not at all sorry tone and went back to the corner. Meg laughed.

"Hothead."

"FOLLOWER!" Gigi slapped herself.

"Not again!"
