I sat across from her at the lunchtable at school. She was smiling and talking about some book she had gotten from the library. She looked beautiful. I nodded or laughed occasionally, but I wasn't really hearing her. I mean, I don't usually ignore her, I love every word she says, but I was thinking about something deep.
Here she was, chatting like it was last week. Last week when things were perfect enough, but things have starting changing. Bryon has decided to come out of his rut. I understand what he's been through sort of. I tried to talk to him earlier, but he was putting on this tough front. He lost his best friend just like me. And just like me he was freaked afterwards, dazed and secluded. I got out of it and now, so has he.
But's it's different for him. It's his fault Mark is in jail. What had Mark ever done to him that was so bad? Huh? Mark was such a good guy. I really thought me and Mark were gonna become good friends, too, and then Bryon decided to get him locked up. Can't help but think of Dally and guess that Mark's a lot like him (...how he was....bitter and hard...)now. It makes me sick. What's wrong with Bryon...How could you do that to someone you loved?
Then there's Cathy. Now that Bryon has gotten back on his feet he wants everything to be like it was before. But Cathy's my girlfriend, not his anymore. I'm not being a jerk-jealous boyfriend. It's just that I know Bryon is trying to get her back...and...I don't even think she knows that she's falling for him again...
Okay, that's the truth. There I said it. I can hardly stand it. They both like each other. But Cathy is my girlfriend, and I love her. I don't want to lose her.
I have a lot of people I love dead and buried, rotting underneath the ground. How do you think that feels, knowing that? But I couldn't really help losing them.
This time around, I might have a say.

Two-Bit looked up and tried to whistle but a bite of his third candy bar was in his way. He was sitting outside of the bowling alley waiting for Steve, wherever he was, when he saw Cherry Valance. Scarfing it down quickly, he proceded to do his delightful wolf imitation. She turned her head, looking for the person she was considering killing. Then she smirked, spotting a goofy face with a hand raised high above it, waving back and forth.
"HI CHERRY!!!" He yelled when she was about 10 feet a way.
"Hello, Two-Bit. How have you been?"
"Dandy, toots. You?"
Before she could answer, a girl shouted "MOVE" and forcibly pushed Cherry out of her way. While they both had strong lungs, this girl did not have the jolly apperance that Two-Bit had.
"Where IS he? Where's Steve?!!!" She demanded to be told by Two-Bit.
He smiled, as he usually did, while Cherry lowered her eye-brows and looked at the girl. She was wearing a very short black leather skirt and a guy's white t-shirt complete with huge pocket on the upper right side. A pack of cigarettes hung out of them.
"Can't you even say hi first? Tsk, tsk, tsk. He should be here any minute, Sylvia." Sylvia rolled her eyes and scrunched up her face. She leaned against the same wall Two-Bit was and starting tapping her foot. Cherry was as mad as Sylvia was.
Two-Bit quickly looked at Cherry and walked over to her. "Aw c'mon babe, you're all right aren't you?" Cherry's eyes blazed. She couldn't stand this girl. She was annoying and rude.
"Didn't even say she was sorry." She mumbled.
Two-Bit could barely here what Cherry said because Steve came up and Sylvia went off screeching again.
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!!! TELLING EVERYONE MY BUSINESS!!!"
Steve cursed and said, "You're just mad because no guy wants to go out with you."
"YEAH WELL ITS YOUR FAULT."
"It's not my fault you're a..."
Two-Bit and Cherry walked off, sick of Sylvia and Steve.
"Such a lovely pair." Two-Bit said, digging out some crackers from his jacket.
"I'm suprised she didn't break my ear drums. So what's the deal with Sylvia?"
"She was Dally's girlfriend, that's how the gang knows her anyhow." Two-Bit could talk about Dally without getting shaken up. "And Steve has always hated her cause she cheated on Dally." Cherry wondered if what Sylvia did had ever hurt Dally. She thought it was pitiful of herself to still think about him sometimes. It had been years. But she couldn't get the image out of her head made when Ponyboy told her about him falling underneath the glow of the streetlights...Two-Bit broke into her thoughts. "Steve is always telling everyone about how classy she is."
"I gotta go Two-Bit." She mumbled. Crumbs dribbled from his mouth as he said "guh-bye". With Cherry gone, Two-Bit walked back over to Steve and Sylvia.
"Do ya know what would be HILARIOUS?" Two-Bit said amidst their crossfire of cursing. "If y'all went out together!"
Steve switched from going off on Sylvia to Two-Bit. Then he turned back to her, saying, "Even if I didn't hate you I'm going out with Evie and I don't two-time the people I go out with."
Sylvia made a rude gesture.
"Such long fingers." Two-Bit commented. "You could be a hand model, you know."
"Why do you have to sit around annoying people all the time? Why don't you get a job or something you lousy bum?" Sylvia asked Two-Bit, and Steve asked
"What's your job, a prostitute?"
"Wash your mouth out with soap, young man!" Two-Bit told his friend. Steve rolled his eyes and then Two-Bit flashed a dollar in front of Sylvia. She nearly lunged at him. Two-Bit turned and looked through the glass window at the clock inside of the bowling alley. 3:40. He remembered that this was the time school let out, but he couldn't remember what he wanted to tell Ponyboy. Oh well, he thought, go now, think later. He told Steve and Sylvia he had to go, and Sylvia said "good riddance" and Steve pushed Two-Bit away when he tried to hug him good-bye.

Ponyboy switched back to listening to Cathy, and then started talking to her.
"You know I love you, don't you?: He told her earnestly.
"Of course I know. You're so sweet, its impossible to forget. Love you, too."
Ponyboy smiled and kissed her on the cheek. He paused, wondering whether or not to talk to her about Bryon right now. He kissed her again, and suddenly someone shouted, "Hey! No PDA on school grounds!"
It was Two-Bit. (PDA=Public displays of affections, really y'all read your school handbooks!)
"Hey what are you doing at the High School?" Ponyboy asked.
"6 years just wasn't enough!" Two-Bit blubbered and pretended to wipe a tear from his eyes.
"Really. C'mon tell me."
"Let me see if I remember..."
"Two-Bit..."
"Give me a dollar..."
"Two-Bit!"
"Okay, come here. It's kind of personal-like. Sorry Cathy."
Cathy furrowed her brows. She briefly thought, Was Pony keeping something from me? Then she nodded. and said "I'll see you around."
"Hold on. How long is this going to take, Two-Bit?"
Two-Bit smirked. "You might want to talk to Darry after I tell you this."
Ponyboy blinked. "Bye Cathy." Then he quickly stepped over to Two-Bit. "What is it???"
"Darry's been keeping some letters hidden from you. They're from, what's his name, the guy in jail, Mark is it?"
