Chapter 11: the party part 1!

Once again, I was driving in thoughts. I wondered about my future. I think I'd be good at bein a high school teacher. Either that or writer. I wanted the best for my baby girl but I was still… well, new at being a parent and a single one at that.

HONK, BEEP!

Jeez, I've gotta stop daydreaming or I'll get Cassie and I killed. I looked into my rearview mirror to make sure my kid was safe. She saw me and grinned and I back. She may have my smile but she had talent I didn't totally contain. She could make you smile at the hardest time.

I soon pulled up to my old house and sighed. I quickly glanced at Cassie's clothes to make sure they weren't dirty. We then proceeded up the steps and I walked inside slowly.

It looked surprisingly clean with a party goin' on. On the couch was Darry and Karlie. Two-bit and Kathy were making out in the kitchen. Soda and his girl Laura were also sitting on the couch and Steve was standing with Evie. I'm shocked that Kathy & two-bit and Steve and Evie survived these years. Okay, 2 years, big deal? It is for them. Only two things were missing from this happiness, and that's Johnny and Dallas.

" Hey everyone," I said. Everybody looked up with a smile. Well, almost everyone.

" Hey Ponyboy, munchkin," Two-bit said hi to me and I'm guessing munchkin is lil 'ol Cassie. I shifted Cassie in my arms cause she was startin' to numb my arms.

I could see and feel Steve's glare so I decided to make things interesting. Thinkin' I still had that naïve green eyed glint; he glared more so I looked him straight in his. A sudden flash of realization zipped by in his and he slouched to make himself look tough. I know I keep saying but the only person who my guards went down with was Cassie. Everyone else, my eyes were as cold and tough as Darry's and Dallas' put together. I wasn't a hood but I could damn well be one if I wanted.

" Ponyboy, this is Laura, Laura, this is my little brother Ponyboy and his daughter Cassidie," Soda introduced. I took a look over at Laura and smiled politely and shook her hand. Laura was a pretty girl. She has shortish strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes.

" Nice to meet you, Ponyboy. Cassie's adorable," She commented. I could already tell that this girl was really good for Sodapop.

" Thanks," I then looked at my other friends.

" Hey Steve, Evie, Kathy," they all nodded and the girls gave me a hug. I actually became a good friend with them. Weird, huh?
