I just smiled which made Darry smile. I just coolly said," Nothing." And
then I sat down on the couch.
"I don't believe you. I know your not innocent. Now tell the truth!"
"that is the truth!"
"then why are you holding her hand?" he asked pointing at the adjoined hands.
I forgot I was holding it on the way home. "she got tired from all of the bawling and need some help." I lied.
"I don't believe you," Steve said," you never start a conversation with a smile."
"ok.ok. but I wont say!" I said.
"tell me or I'll beat the tar out of you." Darry said.
"Naw. Its ok." I said.
She came and sat down next to me. She took up the last spot because Darry was sitting on there too. Two-bit saw and sat right next to her which squished us together. "Two-bit! Cut it out!" she said fiddling with something behind Two-bit.
"No. I don't like the floor." He answered. Darry just laughed because he couldn't feel anything.
"fine then, I will." She said holding up his prized possession.
"hey where'd you get-" he began but stopped when he felt it wasn't there anymore.
"Give it back!" he said like he was going to cry.
"Get back onto the floor."
"I'm goin'. I'm goin." He said getting up and sitting on the floor. She handed him the blade.
"I didn't know you could pick-pocket." I said.
"Neither did i." She said, yawning.
"ok.ok. back to the original subject. What did you do?" Darry asked.
"nothing." I said trying to sound innocent. I got up and yawned. I went to the bathroom" "aren't you forgetting something?" he said, gesturing his thumb towards her. She had her head buried in her arms on the armrest.
"no. I'm getting ready for bed." I said as I went into the bathroom and took off my shirt. I heard a racket just as I finished brushing my teeth.
I went out to find all of the guys on top of Two-bit. "take her to your room!" Ponyboy yelled.
"why?" I asked.
"Just do it!" Darry said, struggling to keep Two-bit down.
Without anymore hesitation, I carried her to my room. I laid her down and then walked into Ponyboy's room. I threw myself onto the bed and within seconds, I was out cold.
I woke up to find I was in my room. I went out to find the guys there.
"Good morning." Darry said, oddly happy.
"What did you do?" I asked wondering how I ended up in my room.
"the question is, what did you do?" Darry said, not making much sense.
"what? I went to sleep in Ponyboy's room!"
"you slept-walked into your room." Steve said, holding back his evil laughter.
"I don't sleep walk!" I said.
"I was just kidding!," Steve said stuffing chocolate cake into his mouth," Calm down!"
I stared at them really hard and then left for the bathroom. When I entered, she was already awake, brushing her teeth, finishing off. "I'm done." She said and just walked off.
I was brushing my teeth, thinking about how I got into my room.
I went out to eat cake. I was thinking still while I did and the guys just stared at me, which made me loose my appetite. I went outside and lit a stick. My thoughts shifted from room to my girl.
"-pop.. Sodapop?" Ponyboy's deep voice broke into my thought.
I took a long drag." Yeah?" I asked.
"I don't believe you. I know your not innocent. Now tell the truth!"
"that is the truth!"
"then why are you holding her hand?" he asked pointing at the adjoined hands.
