Some Things Are Better Than a Jacket
CHAPTER ONE
"Hey, Mara! How's it going?" I asked as I reached my cousin who was throwing the party that we were at.
"It's doin' a lot better now that I got that bastard out of my house," she said referring to her last boyfriend who had recently moved out.
"Well, I'm glad you're doing better." I said with a slight smile and a very cousin-like punch on her shoulder. "Now that we're done with this very loving scene, I want to know where the gang is. I'm plannin' on gettin' real hammered tonight and I can't do it without my buddies."
"It sure is nice to see somebody's not feeling to down tonight. Ashley, you'll never change."
"That's beside the point. Where is everybody?" I said getting a bit impatient.
"They're in the living room."
"Thanks."
"Well, hey there, Johnnyboy. What are you up to?"
"It's nice to see you too, Ashley. Thanks for making me feel so loved," Pony said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, kiddo." And with that I jumped on his lap and kissed him on the cheek.
"He don't need to feel that loved. C'mon off him. One of these days your gonna get yourself into trouble actin' like that." Johnny spoke with a tone of voice that gave off that he was jealous, but I didn't care. It took a lot to make him talk and he had just said three whole sentences to me. I did what he told me to and got off of Ponyboy.
"So, what are you guys plannin on doing tonight, since I know you won't be drinking and you don't have any girls. I can keep you company if you like, but I'll warn you. I'm gonna be a little drunk."
"That's all right. You act better when you're drunk," said a very tickled Ponyboy.
"Yea, you look better when I'm drunk, too." I said very pleased with my quick comebacks.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe we'll try to find some of the other guys and hang out if they don't have dates."
"You know you don't want to do that. Hang out with me for the night."
"Do we have a choice?" Pony asked with his eyebrows raised matter-of- factly.
"To tell you the truth, not much of one."
