"Roxi!Good to see ya!" I turned my head slightly to see Johnny and Twobit walking towards the lot. "Oh great", I thought, "they found me."
"Hiya guys! What's up? Why are you here?"
Twobit punched me playfully in my arm.
"Why not be here?" Johnny asked. I groaned.
"Because," I said annoyed, "I like being alone sometimes."
Twobit stared at me. He knew something was up. I hated the way I looked. I was five foot six, I had short dark hair, and worst of all I was fat. Of course my friends told me it was just because of my height and that they'd kill for my thinness but somehow I didn't beleive them. Johnny said he was off to the Curtis' and we said goodbye. Twobit turned to me as I sat down on the wet grass.
"Alright Roxi. I know you. What's up?"
"I don't know. I guess i'm just tired. I didn't sleep at all last night." He looked at me funny and shrugged. Soon Ponyboy came to join us.
"Hey Pony," I mumbled. "This is just wonderful," I thought, "I'm almost all alone and the little one shows up. Just my luck." Not that I don't like Pony. I love him. It was just I wanted to be alone.
"What do ya say we head to your house Pon?"
"Sure," he answered and off we went. On the way we passed my house. As Twobit and Pony started going into the Curtis house I called to them, "Hey I gotta get something from my house. I'll be right back. Pony shrugged and headed in but Twobit followed me.
"You liar," he accused me, "You don't have to get anything from your house. You hate your house you'd never go there unless you had to!"
"So? What's your point? Besides,I actually do have to get something."
"I'm going with you then."
I shrugged. "Sure."
We walked to my house silently. I walked inside and Twobit and I walked up to my room. I turned on my radio. I went to my desk and grabbed a bunch of papers and folders quickly so Twobit wouldn't see them. I grabbed my knapsack jammed everything in, took a quick look around, turned off the radio, and we left. Once we got outside instead of heading towards Pony's house I walked the opposite direction.
"Where are you going?" Twobit asked me.
"To the lot," I thought. I kept walking ignoring Twobit. He gave up and headed back towards the Curtis house. I walked to the lot and sat on a car seat. I took some of the papers and a pen out of my knapsack. I wrote. I kept writing till I literally couldn't move my pen any longer. I put it away a fell asleep.
The sun was just rising as I heard Darry calling my name. I opened one eye and then the other.I sat up sluggishly.
"What's wrong with you? You ignored Twobit so no one knew where you were then you stay all night out here and something could have happened to you."
"So? I always stay out here and look at me. I'm fine Darry chill out. Besides if Twobit cared, which he obviously didn't, he would have followed me."
"Come back to the house you can eat breakfast and get dressed. You still have to go to school." He sighed.
"Alrighty," I said more upbeat than usually. He felt my forehead and I looked at him laughing.
"You scare me sometimes Roxi."
"I scare myself too Darry."
I walked back to the Curtis' house with Darry. I got changed and I ate a little breakfast. Well if you can call a glass of orange juice breakfast. Then Pony and I walked to school together. I got to school and my friends immediately approached my locker.
"Roxi," they said, "If you don't quit what your doing we'll tell Twobit and you know he'll tell Dallas."
"No he won't. I already told him and he promised me that he wouldn't tell, " I lied to them.
Twobit came to my locker. "Class already?" I said jokingly and we walked to homeroom. The day dragged on. I was estatic when it was over.
"Roxi," Twobit said to me a little unsurely, "Your friends told me. I'm going to tell Dally. You know that right?"
"Yea Twobit. I know. I wish you wouldn't but I know you will." It was too late now. He knew I was anorexic and he was going to tell my older brother.
(A/N: I do know how to handle the whole she's anorexic deal because it just so happens I am to. So don't criticize me on the way I handle it because I know better than you.)
"Roxi!Good to see ya!" I turned my head slightly to see Johnny and Twobit walking towards the lot. "Oh great", I thought, "they found me."
