Anyway thanks for the reviews guys :) So here is my new chapter kindly beta'd by Oswald Pepperpot Enjoy :)
Ronnie walked down the stairs quietly and tried to slip out of the house. He had has hood pulled up to cover his hair so his dad didn't see. Just as he was slipping on his backpack his dad came out of the kitchen. He glanced over at Ronnie who was now working in a fast forward motion, Ponyboy had a sixth sense for when his son had done something. His hand quickly shot forward and pulled down Ronnie's hood. His mouth dropped open.
"What the fuck have you done Ronnie!" Ponyboy yelled
"Dad, I can explain." Ronnie said quickly
"I give you two minutes to explain, hurry up!" Ponyboy said coldly
"Well I was so sick of mom criticizing me of how I looked so I decided to change how I looked and now I look stupid but oh well, it's better than having black hair right" Ronnie said
Ponyboy didn't say anything he just breathed in sharply, he was looking at Ronnie who was slowly edging away. In Ponyboy's mind memories were coming back to him. When he was fourteen year old, the knife and the peroxide. Ronnie reminded him of himself when he dyed his hair blonde, how bashful he had been when he had cut it. It just didn't suit him, just like it didn't suit Ronnie.
"Just go to school. Okay, we'll talk about it later." Ponyboy said
Ronnie practically ran to school he was just glad to get out of his house. He had expected his dad to go ape shit on him for dying his hair, but it had been red before. So blonde was nothing on it. He was walking up the stairs to the school when the bell went, so he wasn't technically late but since his first class was at the back of the school, he did end up late, his teacher wasn't impressed.
"This is unacceptable Ronnie, I'm going to have to send a letter home, again." Mr Wright said
"Whatever." Ronnie said taking his seat at the back of the class
The rest of the day progressed slowly for Ronnie, people questioned him about why he had dyed his hair, but he ignored him, it was the same as when he had his hair red and when it was black. It was water off a ducks back. During lunch it began to rain and Ronnie, hated rain since he was forced into sitting in the lunch hall. There were too many people and never enough seats. People sat around the edges next to the windows. Ronnie just lingered by windows watching the rain hit the window.
Stupid weather. Ronnie thought and I don't have a jacket, fucking great.
"So the stupid em
o went blonde did he?"
Ronnie looked up Lewis Dockly was standing over him, his own friends standing in the background like dogs. Ronnie stood up, he was in the mood for a fight, it made school more interesting. Ronnie stood up folding his arms.
"Yeah, I did. Problem Lewis?" Ronnie asked
"The emo bitch standing up to me, that's a change. So you gonna go cut yourself now." Lewis challenged
Ronnie was sick of Lewis, before he knew it he had tackled Lewis to the ground and the two started fighting. Ronnie who, in the long run, wasn't that great a fighter was faring pretty well against Lewis who was, at the very least, two times bigger than he was. The tables were turned pretty quickly, Lewis got a holed of Ronnie's cut up arm and began to hold onto it, tightly. Ronnie was gasping in pain and Lewis got kicks in until the head turned up. Since Lewis and Ronnie often fight, he was used to it, but now he was fuming.
"Both of you my office now." Mr McGee shouted
Ronnie who was still on the floor tried to get up but his knees weren't working, they wouldn't support him right, it felt as though they were like jelly. He nearly fell four times on the way to the head office. In there, it was not a good thing.
"Right, I am sick of you two boy always fighting each other, I want a descent reason why!" Mr McGee said angrily
"Ronnie likes to just randomly hit me and fight me. I've never done anything to him." Lewis said with fake innocence
"Says you, I'm the emo bitch am I. Told to go and cut myself," Ronnie snapped "I have every reason to lash out at you."
"Lewis, stand outside. Ronnie wait here." Mr McGee said
Fear flooded Ronnie's body.
"Well Ronnie, this isn't the first time you have fought and been sent here. And quite frankly I'm getting sick of sending letters home. You're seventeen for goodness sake, it's time you took some responsibility for your actions," Mr McGee paused "which is why until next week I'm suspending you."
Ronnie's world crashed around his face, he had promised his dad that he would never get suspended, or expelled it was the one thing he never wanted to have happen to him.
"Please, my whole family will kill me and dig me up again just so they can kill me again. You can't suspended me, please." Ronnie begged
"I'm sorry Ronnie, I'll phone your dad so he can come pick you up." Mr McGee said
Ronnie was sitting outside Mr McGee's office when Ponyboy appeared. His face was turning very red. It was shot meeting and when Ponyboy came back out of the office he dragged Ronnie up and down the hall.
"I'm sorry dad." Ronnie said
"Save it Ronnie, I've had enough of your shit." Ponyboy said
"Look at me dad. I'm really sorry. I never wanted to get suspended." Ronnie said honestly
Ponyboy didn't say anything. He just sighed.
"Just make sure your mom doesn't get wind of this or she will bury you alive." Ponyboy said
"I know, but knowing her she'll find out and kill me. Properly. Joy." Ronnie said sarcastically
The ride home was silent, mainly because there was nothing to say. Ronnie felt as though he had let his dad down, which he had. But it wasn't the first time.
~* 10 years ago *~
7 year old Ronnie was in the park with his friend Dale. They were playing with a ball underneath a tree, throwing it high and catching it. Dale threw it too high and it got caught in the tree braches
"Your turn Ron, go get it." Dale said
"But my dad says climbing trees is dangerous." Ronnie said
"Please Ron, go get it. We can't play with out it." Dale said
Ronnie reluctantly climbed the tree, he had nearly reached the ball when hos dad came to get him from the park. The sight of his dad catching him in the tree scared Ronnie and he fell from the tree. He broke his ankle in the fall, it was the first time he felt as though he had let his dad down since he had promised not to.
"Hey Ronnie, don't got to sleep on me." Ponyboy said tapping on Ronnie's window of the car
"Huh, sorry, I was somewhere else." Ronnie said
Ponyboy looked at his son closely, his face was red but other than that he looked normal, but maybe he was missing something.
Right how was that? Good, if so please review :)
Now Question time :) (Drum roll) 2 questions
1) What year do you think this story is set in?
2) Who would you like to have my next 1 shot written about? Ronnie or Lynda? Maybe Ponyboy or Johanna?
Well now all I can say is
~* Peace Out *~
