Half of the day went pretty well, I kept out of Sodapop's way and he kept right to his work pumping gas for people. It all started when Sodapop and I where eating lunch during Sodapop's lunch break. I sure wish it didn't happen. A bunch of kids about Sodapop's age came by us snarling, they where socs. There was one soc that wasn't Sodapop's age but my age and I regonized him right away. It was the kid that hit me during school yesterday. It was hard to think that it was only yesterday. I slowly pulled my hand up to my eye and poked it a bit but pulled it back quickly and winced. Sure wasn't getting any better. The boy who gave me the black grinned at me, he remembered me too. "Hey Dave why don't you and that kid play some dolls or something." One of Sodapop's age soc said to the kid that hit me. So his name was Dave. "Hey!" Dave said and tried to throw a punch but missed as the soc pulled him in under his arm. "You guys go leave, we don't want anymore trouble after what you did to Ponyboy last night, Rob!" Sodapop said as he stood up. So these where the guys who hurt Ponyboy? I was to far away to notice any faces when Ponyboy got hurt so it must be. Rob, it was a familiar name. I stared at the guy who Sodapop called Rob and realized that this was the person who Cherry and I met at Dairy Queen and by the look on his face I knew he regonized me too. I started to shake a bit in my chair as I stood up too. "Oh, I see you have a little girl to protect you? How sweet!" Rob exclaimed. "Hey you stop it right now would ya?" Sodapop yelled at them. "Who's gonna make us? That 12 year-old?"Rob yelled as he started the fight on Sodapop. "Susie go inside! Right now!" Sodapop said as I tried to run to the door but got pulled back. I turned around and it was Dave. "I don't think I ended that other fight at school good enough." he said. I tried to get away but he was much stronger than me. Dave was hitting me harder than he was at school and it brought me back to another time, when my parents where still alive. He was hitting me so hard it felt like my parents hitting me. When my parents finally stopped my face didn't even look like a face so if Dave kept hitting me like this I knew the same thing was going to happen. Suddenly a ball full of anger came to me. "Stop!" I screamed and kicked Dave as he went falling across the DX station. I was shocked wandering where in the world I learned to do that but I guess my parents beat me so bad I found out how they did it. "Holy-" Rob said but couldn't end it because Sodapop's boss came running out screaming. Rob and everyone else stumbled over each other trying not to get caught by Sodapop's boss but his boss wasn't going for them but for Sodapop. Trouble.
