Chapter 3

When I woke up the next morning, I beat Pony to the bathroom and had some chocolate cake. After we ate, me, pony and Johnny headed outside and we looked in Dally's car. he was still asleep. I grinned at the guys and took something outta my pocket. I put it on his face and stepped back and the boys were laughing so hard. Dally woke up and rubbed his face which made us laugh harder. He looked at his hands and screamed with rage and jumped outta the car and started after me. He sure was hacked off, I didn't see why. it was only lipstick. Dally started after me and I backed away from him.

DALLY: Mari! I'm gonna get you! *runs after Mari*

MARI: Oh, shit!

I ran to a tree that was in the side yard. I climbed up it and saw Dally starting up it. I was so dead. Dally got even with me and grabbed at me but he was too late... I had already jumped down and headed towards the lot. When I reached the lot, I saw Two-Bit and Johnny and Pony hanging out there. Those traitors. I ran behind them and they blocked Dally from me. I was so god-damned lucky.

DALLY: Okay! Where's Mari?!

I peeked around Two-Bit and he lunged at me. Good thing I had quick reflexes. I back-flipped away from him. During a flip, I didn't get to finish it. Someone had me by the waist. it was.. I looked at Tim and groaned. could it get much worse? it wasn't even 10 am and Dally wanted to pound me and Tim had me by the waist and he wasn't exactly the best person to have me, especially since I guessed he wanted to pound me too. popular, ain't I?

MARI: *grins* uh, hey Tim, what's goin' on? TIM: Not much except I have to pick one of your bones MARI: the expression is "I have a bone to pick with you" TIM: not in this case MARI: okay, what'd I do? TIM: think. back to your conversation with Angela. MARI: umm........ TIM: a certain remark.... MARI: which one? PONY: what the hell did she say? TIM: think Mari, about what u said about her relationship with boys JOHNNY: this cant be good. MARI: Ohhhhhh! Ya mean how I said she's a god-damn whore?

Tim grabbed the collar of my jacket and held me up by it.

TIM: Never talk about my baby sister that way, ya hear? MARI: I can hear just fine, but I can talk about her any way I want. like how I can't stop anyone from saying bad bout pony TIM: Not unless you want a black eye and some missing teeth... MARI: You touch me and Darry and everyone else'll be on your case! TIM: I can take em. MARI: all of em? Ha! Angela cant take me. What makes you think you can take everyone? TIM: I'll get you if I ever hear your talking shit about Angel again! MARI: yea, then you'll wake up! TIM: Mari, you are asking for it..... MARI: no, i ain't cause i didn't say please

Tim shoved his face into mine and growled "never talk bad about Angela!" I coughed and said "god, you could use a breath mint!"

he pushed me against the tree and i banged my head. i was a little dizzy. Tim held me up higher and switched me to his left arm. he reached back with his right fist and punched me. Then he fell over, dropping me I saw him and pony tangled up. Pony saved my ass. Again. Good thing he's the smart one. We took of running. We outran him and we didn't stop til we were home. We stuck around the house til we went to meet Dally.
