Note- I own absolutely NOTHING! Expect the plot and Carli. Besides that I
own nothing. It's all S.E. Hinton's.
When I woke up it was 7:00. I had to work again today. And the next day. And the next day. The only days off I had were the weekends and they were still a ways away. When I woke up, I forgot all about my hand that was until I pushed myself up with it. It still hurt when you touched it. Oh great. At least Darry put the tape-stuff on better. Before, when I put it on, it held my skin super-tight. Now at least it was more comfortable. Even though I could barely move my fingers. Once more people got up, I used the shower. How I missed a warm shower. I was getting used to the cold ones I've had now for about a month. To my surprise, we all ate breakfast. I had eaten breakfast in about a month. We had chocolate cake. I haven't had chocolate cake in years. I was starting to like this place. I felt really bad for Darry though, I just popped up as another person to bed and another mouth to feed. But it really didn't matter if he thought I was rude. I was only going to be here for a month. I also learned about things in Tulsa, like socs and greasers. I was glad I didn't have to sleep on the bench anymore. Even with my pocket knife. Things went on like this for about a week or so. Everyday though, no matter what, as soon as I got off work I would go watch my bike. Steve was taking some things apart and it looked horrible like that. I wished I could have it back. Finally Friday came. I have never been so happy to get off work or come home. Wait, not home, to the house. Everything was normal until after dinner. "Soda, Steve, you two coming to the party tomorrow?" Two-Bit asked. "What party?" Steve questioned. "You know I'm not going to Buck's…" Soda began. "No way! Of course I wouldn't talk about Buck's parties. Im talking about the one at the rodeo. It's just a bunch of rodeo people. No horses or nothing." "Can I Darry?" "Sure, as long as your back by 1:00" Darry said. "Wait a minute! How come my curfew's still at 12:00?" Ponyboy asked. "Your younger, maybe more mature… but younger" Soon everyone was screaming and yelling and just having fun. I loved that about this place. I thought about the party. I haven't been to a party in well, never. I figured I might as well go with them. Inside I knew I wanted too. I've always wanted to know what a party like that was like. Little did I know what would happen there…
