Pony and his girlfriend
The school day passed pretty much normally. The only thing different was Kate, but oh well. Her loss. Once the bell rang, I was so glad to be out of the class and away from the school. Two-Bit came running towards me and nearly tackled me down.
"Well hello to you too!" I said, laughing and picking myself up. Two-Bit grinned,
"Come on! Let's go before Steve drives off without us!" Both Two-Bit and I ran over to the school car park to find that Steve's car was still there but there was no Steve. Two-Bit then smacked his forehead,
"He has a detention! Looks like we're going to have to walk!"
"Ah well! It's only about twenty minutes walk!" Two-Bit groaned as I laughed, he really was lazy.
"Hey, where's Candy?" Two-Bit looked around, then shrugged. Just then we saw a figure running towards us, waving her arms. I laughed at the site,
"Candy! We were just about to walk off without you!"
"Yeah sorry, teacher kept me in!" Candy rolled her eyes, pushing her bag strap onto her shoulder more and then gave us a cheeky grin,
"Didn't interrupt anything now did I?" I laughed,
"Yes you did! I am over Pony now and want to jump Two-Bit as soon as we get back!"
"SCORE!" Two-Bit yelled. I shook my head as we started to walk home. We were all fine, until we got to the Curtis's place. When I opened the door, the first thing I saw was that slutty broad and Pony making out, right in front of me. They didn't even have the courtesy of stopping when I walked in.
"@#%$ Pony! I thought you were sick! You are so different to what I thought you were! And you're just a fucken slut who has no life! I beat you in two fucken weeks you'll be making out with somebody else who is stupid enough to fall in love with your fake breasts and plastic face! You are the worst fucken slut I have ever seen!" The girl advanced on me,
"You must be Celestial" She drawled in that slutty way that I hated so much, "Ponyboy warned me of you. I knew you would be jealous because I have the guy that you love, but he would never love you" She then started laughing, "I could kick your ass any-" She was cut off because I was so angry that I had to shut her mouth, so I did the reasonable thing and smacked her one, right in the jaw, making her stumble.
"You said you can kick my ass any day. Start now then" I said, walking towards her but Two-Bit held me back and Ponyboy stood in front of her.
"Get out of my house, Celestial!" Ponyboy yelled, fear and anger in his eyes.
"My pleasure" I yelled back, going back out the front door and slamming it, hard, behind me. I heard footsteps as I angrily stormed away.
"Celestial!" Two-Bit had to jog to keep up with me and I wasn't surprised. I could've killed someone,
"That fucken slut thinks she can kick my ass any day! Heh! Whatever! She could maybe pull my hair but not kick my ass! She doesn't even know how to!"
"Can we please stop walking because I'm running out of breath!" I sighed and sat down at a near-by bench.
"Why the @#%$ did he do that? He knows how much I like him! They didn't even stop! I hate him!"
"Hey, they mustn't have heard you walk in. Come on Celestial, deep breaths!" I smiled slightly and did take his advice.
"I'm sure he doesn't realise how much you like him. I don't know what the @#%$ he's doing with that slut, he's been warned against them. Don't worry about it Pony, once she leaves he'll realise how much you like him and you two will fall in love!" I sighed and hugged myself against Two-Bit,
"I know he'll never like me. I'm not slutty enough, I'm too much me for him to notice me. Maybe somebody better will come along. Hopefully" I could feel myself start to shake but I refused to cry. I have cried too much lately and I wouldn't allow myself to again. This wasn't good, everything was bad in my life. What had I ever done to deserve this? Two-Bit hugged me,
"Don't worry it will get better soon. I'm sure of it. Let's go to a party, so you can relax. I'm sure Buck Merill will be having one" I smiled, that sounded really inviting. Get myself totally smashed and forget everything.
"That would be great! Come home with me and then I'll get changed, and we'll hang around town or something until it's a decent time. Ok?" Two-Bit smiled and nodded, standing up so we could start right away.
Once I got home, I went straight to my room to get changed. That was when I decided not to be myself, be somebody else. Only Two-Bit and Candy seemed to like me as me, so might as well change. I quickly changed into a boob tube and mini skirt which I had hidden in my closet. I then spent the next ten minutes doing my face up so I looked just as plastic as that slut. I then remembered Two-Bit,
"Two-Bit!" I called so he wouldn't see the new me just yet. "I'll meet you at Buck's! I know where it is so I'll see you there ok!"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive"
"Well if you're sure. See you there" I smiled and waved him off. They would all get such a shock when they saw me. I put on lots of make-up, a lot black because I liked it, but I did put on some blusher which isn't black! I then pulled on some knee high black boots and sat on my bed, looking over the 'new' Celestial. If I couldn't score a guy with this, then I don't know what I would do! I threw my denim jacket over my top and just finished all my schoolwork until it was about 8.
"I'm going out" I called to Mum who was sitting in the lounge. I was just about at the door when Mum came into the hallway. I expected her to ask me where I was going, what time I'd be back and the whole deal. But instead, she looked me over, smiled blankly,
"Have fun. Don't even worry about coming home if you don't want"
"Ok then. See you tomorrow night after work!" I waved and then went out the door. As I walked to Buck's place, the same thought kept on going through my mind, My Mum doesn't care about me, and my Dad's a drunk. A lot has changed.
