I Saw It

It was Monday, which means a school day. Like most greasers, we hated school. There are different groups in our school, such as the jocks, rich-bitches (Soc girls), nerds, people who matter and people who don't matter. If you split that up into two major groups, it's the Greasers and the Socs. Isn't that ironic?

What really pisses me off are the rich-bitches who think they dig the greaser guys. For example: Hilary Street. ARGH! I hate her! She thinks she can pull off anything, like taking guys away from their girlfriends. It's just downright mean.

Back to that Monday… As usual, I had Math, Spanish III (which I'm proud to be in, because I'm a Tex-Mex), English, Gym and History. (Unlike most greasers, I manage to get a few A's and B's). And then came Lunch. I picked up my tray and walked to the usual table I sat at. Ponyboy was sitting there, reading from a book and finishing up some homework.

"Don't tell Darry, please!" he begged me. If Darry found out, then he would have been dead meat.

I looked around the cafeteria, wondering where Johnny was. 'Maybe he's getting held back by a teacher,' I thought to myself. I finished my lunch and looked around for him. I hoped he wasn't being jumped. I started to get worried. The hallway was quiet, but I heard someone crying. The door was opened a tiny bit. The classroom was empty, except for desks, chairs and two people. I peeked in and saw Hilary. Next to her, I saw Johnny. My heart froze. I listened to what she was saying.

"Oh, Johnny! I can't take it anymore! What if Daddy doesn't recover? What's going to happen to me and my family?" Hilary said in sobs.

"Hilary, it'll be okay. Trust me, it will." Johnny put his hand on her shoulder. Hilary turned her head to face Johnny. He face was flooded; his face had the look that says, "I sympathize for you, but there's nothing I can do to help."

Then, as if it happened so quickly, Hilary put her hand on Johnny's face and kissed him. I wanted to slap her, maybe do more, but I felt like I lost the energy to do so. I lost everything. I saw it, and it broke my heart.
