I just had time to reread my last chapter and... I messed up a lot of crap. My brain wasn't working or something, so I am going to try and make more sense of things this chapter. Also I have a huge book report over the next month so I will not be updating any of my stories unless I find the time. I probably will find time considering how much I procrastinate, but this report is 70% of my grade. I can not do bad on this.

All disclaimers were said in previous chapters.

After watching the Soda and Pony eat, since I wasn't all that hungry, I parted ways with the two brothers to find out some information I desperately need. Well not desperately, but I want to know if that chick really is a soc. I don't need any prissy Socs running around on our side of town. That just isn't how things work. For the past few years it has been us against them, and i am not gonna let this girl change that. She needs to be put in her place, on HER side of town.

"Hey Bryon," I called out running up to a guy with dark hair and eyes. He was one of Pony's friends until Angela took her eyes off him, and started paying attention to Pony instead. Ponyboy never did realize because his mind is always somewhere else. I doubt Ponyboy would even know Angela existed if it werent for Curly.

"Hi uh..." he pointed his finger at me and began bouncing it up and down. I just glared at him. How dare he forget who I am? Some kid named Mike or something like that whispered something in his ear. "Winston," he finally said bringing his hand down. I shook my head.

"Have seen a girl about yay tall," I brought my hand slightly above my shoulders," and she has uh... blondish eyes." He nodded his head up and down and pointed into a candy store.

"She left like ten minutes ago. Went that way I think." He moved his hand so he was pointing down the sidewalk. I nodded and continued walking. As I walking I saw her walk out of gas station and toward some socy car. What was her name again. Oh yeah.

"Uh, Lani!" I called out. She stopped and turned her head toward me. She shook her hed and bagan walking to the car again. I bounced my leg up and down twice before running up to the car. She was just about to get in.

"What do you want?" she asked in an annoyed tone.

"Just wanted to say sorry, ya know for earlier," I stated lamely ,"I got a rep to hold."Her lips twitched for a moment and she revved up the engine.

"Okay bye," she said and tried leaving, but I grabbed the steering wheel so she couldn't.

"Are you a soc," I asked staright out. No hesitation. I just have to know. She bit her lip and nodded her head yes. GOD DAMNIT. I let go of the steering and demanded for her to go away and stay away. She nodded and drove away. I don't care though. It is her fault she lied to me. I would have had this cleared up a long time ago.

I know it is really short.

.future. - I know he is a little out of character, but it is kind of difficult for me to keep him fully in character. I have never been in a real lasting relationship before, I know I'm a lame person, so i have no personal experiences to base it off.

Pony'sgirlfriend- You can have as many cookies as you want. Thanks it means a lot. Ninth grade is fun, except the homework isn't. But when has homework ever been fun?
