Chapter 10 (Amanda's POV)

When I came home, my dad had a fit. I think he thought it would only happen once.

"Dad are you okay," I asked worry.

"Why do they go after you?" He asked this with an angry voice.

"Because I'm a greaser and I'm proud of being one, dad," I said. He didn't say anything after that so I just went to sleep.

In the morning, I couldn't find my DX shirt. "Dad," I yelled.

"Yes," he called out.

"Where's my DX shirt?" He had to have known where it went because he was the last one up.

"I gave it back. You're not going to see that Soda kid anymore," He said very calmly.

"WHAT," I yelled at him.

"Just what I said." He was still calm. "I don't want you getting hurt anymore."

"It isn't Soda's fault, don't blame it on him. I'm a greaser, and I always will be. If I don't have Soda and the gang, then I would be hurt even worse than the first time."

"No you won't."

"Yes I will. You don't know anything. I'm Soda's girlfriend, too. I can't just leave him. And, plus, the socs go after greasers, not random people." He was really getting me ticked off.

"I don't care, you're not seeing him again, it's because of him that you're a greaser."

"No it's not. I became a greaser because we are on this side of town and because they are nice. They don't go around jumping socs all day."

"I don't care if it was them or not you're not seeing him."

"No," I ran out of my house, with my school stuff and my money, at full speed. I couldn't stand my dad right now. I could hear that he was running after me, but he couldn't catch me because I was doing much better on my running. I ran all the way to school. I was crying all the way there. I stopped when I got there because I knew my dad wasn't following me anymore. For a few minutes I just waited there for someone to arrive.

After someone did arrive, I went into the school. I was the only kid there for a while. I was drawing a picture when Ponyboy arrived.

"Where were you this morning, we went to your house?" Ponyboy asked me while sitting next to me.

When I looked at him, I started to cry again. I couldn't help it. I still had this morning still in my head.

"Hey, it's okay," he said comfortingly. "What happened, does your head hurt."

"No it's not that," I said after I was done crying. "My dad doesn't want me to see Soda anymore because of what happened yesterday." I was holding back tears for a while, until they came out again.

"Hey, it's going to be okay, you can still see him at DX."

I shook my head. "My dad told the manager that I quit and took my shirt and hat back."

"You can see him after school when we go to DX."

"Okay, and Ponyboy…"

"Yes."

"Can I stay at your place for a while, I ran out on my family?"

"Sure well ask Soda after school, okay. We better by getting to our first class now."

"Yeah," I said. He helped me up and we walked together to first period. We went through the whole school day okay.

Oh no, Amanda ran out on her family because of her dad. Will her dad try to find her again. wait for the next chapter to find out.

Peace out!
