Chapter 1 - Noticing
** Soda's P.O.V. **
" Wake up Soda and Pony, we're going to be late!!" Darry yelled, pounding on the door. I moaned and put the pillow over my face. Pony sat up. " Soda wake up, were going to be late" He started to shake me. " You don't have to say it twice" I said harshly. I took the pillow off of my head, and saw that Pony looked hurt. " Sorry Pony, I'm still tired" I said. He nodded. I messed up his hair, and went into the bathroom. I didn't get much sleep last night. Darry spent half his night yelling at me just because I didn't do the dishes. I got home late. So I had to do them around midnight. I was exhausted. I almost cut myself while shaving. I walked into the kitchen. The guys were eating breakfast. " Hey Soda" Steve said to me " Hey Steve" " You look terrible what happened?" " I was all up last night doing the dishes" I looked at Darry, Darry gave me the don't-start-with-me-look. I stopped, I wasn't in the mood to get yelled at. I cut me a piece of cake, before I could even put it in my mouth Darry said " It's time to go, we're already late has it is" I sighed, and shoved it in my mouth, and went to go get my shoes on. While I was putting my shoes on, I noticed that Pony got some glue on it while he was working on a project last night. " Damnit Pony!" I yelled. Pony heard me and come in the room. " What's wrong?" he asked " Look at this!" I yelled. I put the shoe right up to his face. " I..I'm s..sorry Soda,I didn't mean to, it w..was an accident" He stuttered I looked at him for a couple of minutes. " We'll talk about it when we get home" I said in a cold mean voice. I don't know why this was bothering me too much. I could tell that I was scaring Pony by the way I acted. And for some uncomfortable reason I liked it.
** Pony P.O.V.**
I stayed there, while Soda brushed past me almost knocking me down. I felt a lump in my throat. What's happening to Soda? Why is he being like this? He use to be so nice, never been cold and mean like that before. Maybe he's just just being mean for one day,maybe... " Pony come on, we're gonna be late!" two-bit broke my thoughts. I shook my head. " Ok, I'll be right there" I could tell that today was gonna be a long and tiring day.
