Hey all!!! Blatty here.Unfortunately these characters do not belong to
me.they belong to the wonderful S.E. Hinton.Please R&R.Let me know if I
should continue this story.
Ponyboy was sitting on his bed, arms crossed. He was not moving. There was no need because he was not going. He had convinced himself this much.
Darry came into the room. "Okay, everyone's putting their stuff in the truck." When Pony didn't move Darry continued. "Where's yours?"
Pony looked at him with daggers in his eyes, without saying a word. So Darry went on, "Did you pack at all?" Pony finally opened his mouth. "No." Darry was starting to get frustrated. "Why not?"
Pony could see the frustration that Darry was trying his best to hold in. Pony didn't care, he was frustrated too. "'Cause I'm not going, that's why."
"Come on Ponyboy, we've been over this. It'll be good for you." Pony yet to move so Darry made one last attempt to do it nicely. "Pony, you used to love these ski trips." "Yeah it was different."
"Well, you are coming. You can get up and come or I can drag you. It's your choice." Taking this as an empty threat, Pony continued to resist. "What part of 'I'm not going' don't you understand?"
Darry had enough. "I guess it would be the not because you are going." He said this all calmly then gently grabbed Pony's arm. He pulled Pony all the way out of the room, the house and onto the front lawn. Man he was freakishly strong, thought Ponyboy.
Darry threw Ponyboy a jacket. "Put it on, it's cold." Pony did so knowing he'd have to anyway. After that he just stood on the spot though. When Darry saw this he took a calm tone. "Pon, It'll be fun." Pony just rolled his eyes wordlessly. He started to look around.
Two-bit and Steve were already in the back seat of the pick up. It looked pretty cramped back there. Pony saw three large bags and a bunch of skis in the back cabin.
Pony tried one last time to get out of it. "But Darry, I don't have my stuff." He said innocently.
Darry smiled. "And whose fault is that?"
Darry and Pony had been fighting about it ever since Darry announced the trip. Pony did not want to go but Darry felt it was necessary.
Pony started to yell. "It's bad enough you're making me go on this stupid trip, but now I don't even have any stuff!!!" Darry shrugged, while biting his lip to keep his cool. He had been going on and on about how this would be fun and how every one was going to get along.
Soda came over and threw two bags in the back of the truck, filling it. Either he packs heavy or he packed me a bag, thought Pony. Soda placed a hand on Pony's shoulder. "Don't worry buddy, I got your back."
"How did you know?" Pony inquired, happy that Soda always knew what he needed. Not Darry though, what he needed was to stay here. Soda flashed him a grin. "I always know. Besides you were being your stubborn self and you probably thought that if you resisted then you wouldn't have to go. Sorry Pony, but I knew it wouldn't work. I knew Darry would make us go."
Darry suddenly looked disappointed. "I'm not making anyone go. I just thought it'd be good for all of us." They didn't get continue because Two- bit reached over and was leaning on the horn. "Okay, okay."
Darry went over to the driver's side. Soda stopped Pony and whispered, "Try and have some fun. If you can't, then at least try to act happy. This seems real important to Darry." So Pony put on a completely fake, cheesy smile and got into the truck.
