Chapter 6:
Johnny
I yawned even before I opened my eyes. I knew it was probably around 5 in the morning since we had all fallen asleep at about 8 o'clock. I looked over and saw that Soda was still awake.
"Did you sleep?" I asked quietly.
He jumped at the sound of my voice and shook his head 'no.'
"You should." I told him.
"I can't. Don't want to, either."
"You look beat."
Darry sat up then, "He's right, Soda. Go to sleep."
"I wanna go to the trial." Soda said with his eyes cast down.
"We will." Darry assured, "I am wide awake now, so I'll wake you up around 2ish since the trial starts at 3:30. We'll get there with lots of time to glare."
Soda nodded and stretched out, he was out like a light within the minute.
3:10 p.m. that afternoon.
Just like Darry had predicted, we were glaring daggers at the Robert Zanoff guy. I glared so hard that I got a headache, but I didn't care. The minutes actually flew by quite fast, due to my constant glaring, and before I knew it the Judge was just about to declare the guy guilty or not. I thought that was weird because I thought these procedures took days, even months, not an hour!
"I find the defendant not guilty." The Judge said, and Robert Zanoff didn't even look surprised. He nodded at the Judge and left.
Meanwhile, I noticed that Two-Bit and Darry were holding back Dally when Robert Zanoff walked by. He even had the nerve to smile at Soda!
I heard Darry whisper to Dally, "You won't be of any help to Soda behind bars. He'll pay for this eventually. Trust me."
We left the courthouse more upset then when we had arrived.
"How could they let someone so guilty get away?!" Dally cursed as he kicked the tire of a random car, and continued kicking more along the way.
"Who knows?" Darry said, clearly upset, and still concerned for Soda.
"I don't want to know. I wanna get even!" Dally could not hide his anger, or maybe he just didn't want to.
"Let's just go home." Pony suggested.
Soda didn't say anything.
I AM SOOOO sorry!! I have missed my Internet access so much during Christmas holidays. then I've been at home pretty much this whole week because of my cruddy migraines. (and my Internet access is at school only). I am SOOO happy to be back, but the Internet isn't working today!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Now I've got a computer that works at home, so I can try to convince my parents to get Internet (haven't been able to yet). At least I can use word and type up my stories at home, safe them to disk and then bring that to school! Yea!!! But, right now I've gotta concentrate on finals (diplomas! AHHhhh!!) they start next week and I'm in grade 12 so they're worth 50% of my mark!!!!!! I am SOOO scared! Anywho, I'm gonna go update my other stories. I have 5 minutes tell the bell rings.. Oh-oh...
