"Mr. Curtis?" PonyBoy slightly lifted his head and saw a middle aged gray-haired woman with a pointed tapping her high heals on the floor.

"Yes?" PonyBoy asked as he swiped away the drool that had escaped from the corner of her mouth.

"I will ask you again and only again, I would love to know the answer to this problem!" She said as her voice was getting to the point of screaming.

He didn't want to ask what problem, but he knew that he was going to have to.

He looked around as his face got a little red and noticed that a few Socs were laughing at him.

"Sorry Ma'am I don't know." He said as you could see the nasty veins popping out of the teachers throat.

The teacher turned around and got out a pointer. "Mr. Curtis, I am talking about this problem right here!" She said as her eyes were glazing over with redness and her face looked like a volcano was about to explode.

He still looked around and saw Johnny sitting in the back of the class mouthing the answer to him. "That would be 226." PonyBoy said as he looked at the teacher who turned around with a smile on her face and said, "That was a nice try greaser, but it was wrong, now take yourself and your nasty cheating friend with you." As she said that all the Socs cracked up as he was embarrassed grabbing his books he walked out of the room with Johnny at his side.

"Damn, I hate her, she is such a bitch." Pony said as they entered the courtyard of school.

"I-I know she is, she just must hate Greasers." Johnny said as they both started to sit on a bench as Johnny started to pull out a packet of cigarettes.

"Yeah, it's only 'cause she knows we friends with Dally." Pony said as Johnny and him laughed about it and agreed that, that was her problem.

"Yeah." Pony just shook his head as Johnny lit his cigarette and started smoking it.

Pony turned his head slightly as he could hear someone crying on the side of the brick building.

He slowly got up and looked around and noticed that a young girl was sitting on the ground crying.

Pony got up and saw that it was a Soc girl and thought maybe he shouldn't bother her.

He walked over to the place where she was kind of in an ally way in the middle of the school.

The little blond girl had her knee's curled up to her chest as she cried into her hands.

Pony went over and looked around and bent down beside her as she looked up frightened. She placed her hands back and looked as if she was going to get up.

"No please don't be scared." Pony said as he looked at her as she stood up and dried her tears.

She turned her head a little to a slight bruise was on her forehead. "Are you ok?" He asked her as she looked down.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She sniffed a little and looked down.

"No your not, your crying." Pony said as she started to look at him.

"I really don't like to talk about it." She said as she looked up with her bright hazel eyes with tears coming down.

"I'm sorry." She said as she turned away and started walking fast to the other side.

"Damn she was fine." I looked and saw Dally standing behind him with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth loosely.

"Yeah." Pony said as he hung his head. "What's your deal?" Dally asked as he came and put his arm around Pony.

"Nothing I just really wanted to help her you know." Pony said as he started walking over the bench where Johnny sat turned around listening to the conversation.

"What she's just another Soc." Dally said as Pony started to walk away.

"Maybe she is." Pony said as they all started to walk away from the school.
