Chapter 5 - Attitudes
** Soda's P.O.V ***
When I woke up, I noticed that Pony's eyes were red and puffy. He was crying last night, that was sure of it. I remember him waking up screaming, and gasping for air. I was still half asleep. I thought it was just a dream. " He must be having dreams again" I said out loud. I went into the bathroom and took a shower. When I got out, Pony was sitting up on the bed and rubbing his eyes. He looked at me, and then quickly looked away. It looked like there was tears starting in his eyes again. Even though he hasn't been on my good side lately, I still feel bad when he cries.
" Did you have a nightmare last night?" I asked, trying to sound politely. He looked at me startled. He just shook his head, got off the bed and went out the room. I went out right behind him. Steve and Two-Bit were on the sofa watching Mickey. The looked up, and mumbled a hi. I replied and went into the kitchen. Darry was sitting at the table, reading the newspaper. Pony was looking inside the fridge for something to eat.
" Good Morning" Darry said to me. I wondered why he was up so early, he was working all night.
" Good morning" I said back. I grabbed myself an apple and sat down across from him.
" Why are you up so early, I thought you were working all night?" I asked.
" I got home early. Someone was willing to take my last few hours. Uh Pony, Did you have a nightmare last night, I thought I heard you screaming"
I looked at Pony. He had his eyes closed. " I'm fine" he mumbled.
" Are you sure?" Darry asked concerned.
" Yes Darry!! I'm fine ok!!" Pony snapped
" Don't get that attitude with me Ponyboy Curtis!!"
Ponyboy slammed the fridge door closed. Darry looked really hacked off.
" Go in your room!! You need to cool down for awhile!!" Pony moaned and marched to his room.
" Stop stomping!!" Darry said. After a couple of more stomps, we heard the door slam closed. Darry shooked his head. " Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." He muttered. We could then hear Two-Bit and Steve laughing there heads off. Probably Mickey did something funny. I thought of starting a conversation with Darry.
" So um Darry, how was your night?" I asked. Darry looked at me from his paper.
" What did you do?" I rolled me eyes.
" I didn't do anything!!" I yelled. It was Darry's turn to roll his eyes. It was quiet for awhile.
" Darry I was wondering if I can please go out tonight. Just this night" I pleaded.
" Your grounded Soda, remember?"
" I know Darry, but please!! Just this night!!"
" No, you didn't do the dishes, and you got home late." I was starting to get upset.
" I said I was sorry!!!" I yelled.
" Don't yell at me Sodapop, I'm not in the mood!! Your punished for two weeks and that's final!! If you give me anymore trouble, your grounded for another week!!" Darry growled.
" Fine!"
" Maybe you need to go in your room too!! I don't know what's wrong with you and Pony, but you guys better quit!!"
I stayed there for a couple of seconds. I stormed off in my room. " I'll go out tonight!! If even If I do get grounded until I move out, when he finds out, or if he founds out." I thought.
