We walked over to the park to find the Shepards in their hangover stage. "hey, hey, hey, Dally!" Tim said.very high.

"hey man! I want to know what you did last night." Dally replied.

" it was fun man..very fun!" Tim said.

" what did you do?"

" I told you? Didn't I? If I didn't. we had a small blast! And those two people were there too." He pointed at me and Trish.

"what'd they do?" Dally asked so we don't need to talk to him.

"nothing much. Just laughed their heads off." He just kept laughing and then he passed out.

"hey.I never asked you what you did in NY." Dally said turning to Trishan.

"I'm not proud.. But I beat people up."

" You? Beat people up? Your not pullin' my leg are you?"

"nah." she turned red.

"what's your pet name?"

"didn't have one.too lazy to make one up."

"then you must be the mysterious girl that beat people up with bike chains!"

" its something I'm not proud of."

"okay. your getting me scared right now." The boys said and backed away.

I guess she still was totally hung over because she laughed and passed out cold.

"what's up with the passing out? Is it a fad or something?" Two-bit said trying to crack a joke. We just stared at him." What? I was just kidding!" he said stuttering.

" so what are we gonna do?" Darry said," carry her or wait 'till she wakes up?"

"carry her.she has to go home. But good thing she ain't wearin' a skirt or Two-bit here'll try to look up it." I replied giving Two-bit the cold eye.

It was a long walk for Darry because he carried her half the way. We caught Two-bit tryin to look up her shirt. I gave him a good one over the head though.

When we got home, she woke up. "Sorry guys! I need to go home! Its just Sunday right?" without waiting for the answer, she got up.got her things and left.

I ran outside and said," what's the rush?"

"family"

just then, Paul Holden came with his red Mustang. "hey babe, need a ride?"

"she doesn't so back off" I said fighting for my girl.

"you better---" he was cut off by the scream I made.

Two seconds later, the gang was out. "is there a problem, PAUL?" Darry asked.

"no, DARREL." And then he zoomed off.

"what happened?" Soda asked.

"he tried to pick up -" I looked around.Trishan wasn't there.

I broke out in a run."Wait Johnny!" they ran after me. I ran all the way to Trishan's. ( I knew where she lived because we went over there not too long ago =p)

There was loud laughter and blaring music. I rang the doorbell. A boy about my age answered. "hi.where's Trish-" he cut me off and yelled," TRISHAN!"

She came to the door with another girl." Oh! Ito young lalake na sinasabi ko!" she told the girl and pointed at me.

" do you know what she is saying?" I whispered to Soda. He just shrugged.

All of a sudden, the girl pointed at me. "you must be Johnny! I'm Azia.(asia)"

"hi" I said and turned really red. "your right! They are cute!" she said to Trish.

"come in" she said. I looked around. There was 5 girls, including my girl and 1 boy. "Azia, Bianca, Camille, Marianne, Yman, this is Steve, Soda, Johnny, Two-bit, Darry, Dally and Ponyboy. Lets go over to the Dingo. You know! The place I was telling you about."

"fine by me. How's about you?" Azia asked. " Yeah. Sure" they all answered.

We left and when we got to the dingo, there was a fight. Azia wanted to see so we stayed.

Trishan wanted some coke so she just went right through, absent mindedly. She almost got slashed but I cut in to save her. I was stabbed right in the torso. I died. Not on the spot. Everything was turning black and all I could hear was the screams of Trishan saying," NOOO! I LOVE YOU JOHNNY! DON'T LEAVE ME!" and sirens. And then.I blanked out.
