Hey everybody. I'm back and I'm so glad! Thanksgiving was hell.
Literally. I'm going to tell you guys what happened, just cuz it's so
funny (not in my case, but my sister thought it was hilarious). Ok, first
of all we were like 3 hrs late cuz it was such a long ride, then while me
and my cousins were helping with the stuffing (which was a bad idea) we got
into a food fight. Well my cousin, John invited his hot friend over for
dinner and they were having a little food fight and I was chatting with my
other cousin, Melina. So the fight got more serious after a while and they
weren't just flicking stuff at each other, they were really throwing food
and my grandma was getting mad and she never gets mad, not easily and when
she does, it's bad. So, John's friend Mike, picked up a whole hand full of
stuffing and threw at him, at that time I was walking over to the fridge to
get something, John ducked and I turned around, and the stuffing hit me on
the face. It was disgusting because my grandma had put a bunch of sea food
crap in it and it smelled really bad and I had spent like an hour doing my
make up alone, 2 hrs on my hair. I got really mad and screamed as loud as
I could and yelled "god you immature assholes!" my grandma was mad because
they were throwing food already and when she heard me say that she thought
that I was part of it too. So I had to stand there for like 15 minutes
while my grandma yelled at me (I guess I won't be getting much money for
Christmas from her this year) when I hadn't even done anything. After like
20 minutes my grandma finally let me go to the bathroom and wash my face.
It was horrible cuz my eye shadow and mascara were all around my eyes and I
smelled really bad. Spraying perfume didn't help much either. I had to
sit through dinner while my cousin and his buddy made fun of me. (I did
smack John while nobody was looking though and it felt good!) Oh, and the
sad part, my grandpa dropped the turkey while trying to cut it! So they
had to cook a ham real cook and made me eat it. (I hate pig! And I'm a
vegetarian anyway, so I hated putting that nasty meat in my mouth.) We had
to get back on the road right after we ate and its soooo long! I hope I
never have to spend another thanks giving with my family. I'm writing
this story from my dad's laptop cuz we're still on the road, so if there
are a lot of grammar mistakes don't blame it on me; blame it on my dad's
reckless driving! So, that's how I spent thanksgiving, I hope you guys had
a great one, I sure didn't!
Anyways, on with the story..
Oh, almost forgot,

Chapter 11
"The interview"
~Summer's P.O.V.~
I pulled my hand away quickly. I don't know why I did. It just didn't seem right. It had only been a week since me and Kevin broke up and I had sworn off boys for a while. Besides I wasn't sure if I really felt that way about Pony yet. I had just met him.
"Sorry" he said shyly. Oh, god! I embarrassed him! I shouldn't have pulled away.
"No, I'm sorry." I stopped. I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell Pony about Kevin. "It has just been a week since me and Kevin.my ex-boyfriend.broke up. I don't know if I really want another relationship or not." I looked Pony. His cheeks were red. "Sorry" I said again.
"It's ok. I understand. Can we at least be friends?" he was so sweet.
"You bet" I assured him. "Look, Pony you're a nice kid, good looking too." I looked at him and winked. He blushed. "But I don't know if I'm ready yet." I said the last word a little louder. "Yet. I'm not saying I'll never will. I just have to think about some stuff."
He looked at me and nodded.
"I understand." He said, gosh he was such a sweet kid! "I'll always be here anyway."
"You'll be my first when I'm ready again." I said smiling.
He smiled too. Man, I had a lot to think about. Two-bit and Steve came and sat down beside us.
"Whatya tow yappin about?" Two-bit asked.
I giggled a little. "Nothing, Two-bit." Pony said. "Did you guys have any luck?"
"Nah!" Two-bit yawned. By this time the movie was over. "What you guys say we watch the movie over?"
"Um, I think I better get home." I piped up. "I don't want to pile all the unpacking on Rain. She's already really worn out."
"Alright. I think me and Steve will stay." Two-bit looked over at Pony. "You mind walking her home? You know, so the socs won't get a hold of her?" he asked.
Socs? What the hell are socs? Before I could say anything Pony said "come on" and grabbed my arm gently. He started walking towards the entrance. I quickly said bye to Tow-bit and Steve and ran after Pony. I caught up easily. I was in cross country and I'm a pretty good runner.
"Hey" I said.
"Hey" he looked at me and didn't keep his eyes off for a minute.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Nothing. You have beautiful hair."
Damn, this is why I shouldn't have said what I said. Pony was sweet and I was falling for him. I don't know why I had pulled back, I guess I just panicked.
"Thank you" I said. "So what's with this soc thing? Who are they?" I asked confused.
"They are the rich kids, the more-fortunate and they live on the east side of town."
"So what are we?" I asked. I didn't count myself as a soc, I guess because we lived on the west side.
"Greasers!" he said in a cold voice. "We are the less-fortunate and we put grease in our hair. And just because we are poorer than them, they jump us and insult us to out faces."
This was all new to me. There were no socs or greasers in New York. Sure there were the bad and good sides of town, but they weren't labeled as greasers or socs.
"Oh" was all I said. Pony had a face full of hate on when socs were mentioned. I knew something had happened in the past to cause that. Sure they jumped them and beat them up and stuff, that's plenty to hate for, but something bad happened, they had done something to Ponyboy more than to just to beat him up. I didn't push him on telling me. I would ask about it later. He seemed upset already. But what the hell, I kinda knew that Pony couldn't get much upset at me for asking.
"What did they do to you?" I asked.
He looked surprised. How could I have known? I don't even know, I just sensed it or something.
"Um, nothing." He said.
"Come, on Ponyboy. I know they did something, besides, you can tell me. I'm your friend remember?" I asked with my puppy eyes on. No one could resist those. Not even Rain could, it would be easy bait for Ponyboy.
"Right" he said. "It's a long story though, I should tell you."
"Let's sit down then." I said grinning.
We went to a street bench and sat down. I started kinda shivering. It was really cold. Damn! What is it with this state and the cold nights? The mornings were usually real hot, and at night it was just freezing. I guess Pony noticed that I was cold, cuz he took off his jacket and put it over my shoulders.
"Thanx" I said with a grin. "So on with the story."
"Right. Couple months ago, me and my buddies, Johnny and Dally."
"Dally from New York?" I interrupted.
"Hey, no interruptions." He said laughing.
"Sorry. Go on."
"Anyways, so me, Johnny and Dal were at the movies one day, the day after I had gotten jumped by the socs." he began and told me the story.
He told me how Dallas was trying to pick up some socs and later that night the socs jumped Johnny and Pony for trying to pick up their girls. They tried to fight back but there were too many of them and they tried to drown Pony, so Johnny killed one of them. I noticed Pony's eyes crowd by memories every time he mentioned Johnny's name. This Johnny, I figured was Pony's best friend. His eyes lit up every time he talked about him. After Johnny killed the soc, they went to Dally for help, and they ran away to an abandoned church. He had to bleach his hair for disguise, and hated it. But I thought it made him look even cuter. Whoa! Where'd that come from? I shrugged that thought away. After a while they decided to go back and then there was a fire in the church or something and so Pony and Johnny ran inside to save some little kids that were in there. Aw, that was so brave of him to run into a burning church to save some little kids. I shrugged my thought away again. I don't know where all this was coming from! I think I was developing a little crush on Ponyboy. After they had saved all the little kids and Pony had gotten out of the church, the roof caved in on Johnny but Dally went back to save him.
"Oh my god! The roof caved in on him!?" I interrupted Pony.
"Yes." he said with pain in his eyes. He continued.
So they ended up in the hospital. Pony was ok. I let out a little sigh of relief when he said this. Pony was looking at me funny. I kinda blushed and told him to continue. .but Johnny had been burned inadequately and had broken his back. Dallas was ok. They were back, but Johnny was in the hospital and had to stay there. Pony told me about some rumble between the socs and them and Johnny dieing and Dallas going crazy and robbing a gas station and getting shot.
"And that's how I lost my buddy and my best friend." He said.
I looked at him in a sympathetic way, no, I think it was more of a concerned look than a sympathetic one. I felt closer to him. Knowing what he had been through just drew me closer to him. I put my arm around him.
"So anyways, what's your life story?" he asked me.
I grew cold. I didn't like talking about my past. My life. How I had lost my parents.but then again he had told me.
"Um, well, my parents died and we moved here. What's to tell?"
"No, I mean why? Why did you move here?"
"My-"I couldn't finish. "I just-"I choked. I couldn't tell him. I couldn't talk about it. "I---"I couldn't get another word out. He gently stroked my long black hair. "My parents.I was really close to them.and just staying in New York. I couldn't have gotten over it.forget, I mean. Rain felt the same. We just wanted out. So we packed our stuff, sold our house, bought a new one here and just moved." I finally said.
He was softly rubbing my cheek with his thumb. I felt real close to him. He leaned in but I pulled away.
"Sorry" he apologized.
"No, don't be." I just stopped talking, leaned in and kissed him on his lips. They were soft and warm. I pulled away.
"But.I thought you weren't ready." He said confused.
"I guess I am now." I said back.
Once again, I leaned in and kissed him. We kissed for about a minute or two. I pulled away and smiled. He smiled back.
I grabbed his hand and looked at his watch.
"Oh, my god, it's ten! I really have to get home."
"Let's go" he said and got up.
As we were walking I grabbed his hand, locking my hand into his. We walked home, hand in hand.
When we got to my porch, he leaned in and kissed.
"Good-night" I said and walked into my house. I noticed that all the lights were off. I figured both Rain and Jake were asleep. I went to my room and dropped on my bed. I thought for a long time. I had just met Pony, was I moving too fast? I had a headache so I shook my thoughts away and just focused on getting some sleep. I was asleep before I knew it.
I woke up early in the morning. I hadn't even taken off my shoes the other night. I got up and walked to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and got dressed. I went into the kitchen. Rain and Jake were having breakfast.
"What time did you come home last night?" Rain asked me.
"Um, around 10, I think" I said unsure.
"Did you have fun?"
I remembered my night. It was ok until, I remembered kissing Pony. Oh, god! What did that make us now? I had a lot to think about. I groaned and walked back to my room. I plopped down on my bed and thought for a while until Rain came into my room and interrupted my thoughts.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell her about last night. But then who else was there to tell? Besides, who knows boys better than Rain?
"Ummmm, last night I kissed Pony." I said quickly.
She looked at me surprised. "So soon?"
"What does that mean?" I snapped. Like I had to kiss every boy on the block, sooner or later.
"Nothing, just. me and Darry gave it a couple of weeks before you guys actually..ya know."
Her and Darry? Since when did they talk?
"You and Darry?" I asked, grinning.
"It's nothing like that, kid! We had dinner yesterday. And don't be getting ideas, Soda was there too."
I kept on grinning. The thought of Darry and Rain was kinda funny. Although they would make a good couple. I don't know why, they're just similar in many ways.
I groaned and put my head back down on my bed. "So what do I do about Pony now?"
"Well, you gotta talk to him; see what he thinks about it. How did it happen anyway?"
I sighed. "Well, we were sitting on a bench, sharing our past when I felt realy close to him. I dunno y. I just did so I kissed him, and he kissed me back.a couple of times."
Rain was grinning.
"What are you grinning about?" I snapped.
"You guys just make such a cute couple!"
I threw a pillow at her.
"Hey!"
I laughed, she did too. She picked the pillow up and threw it right back at me. We had a little pillow fight. I was laughing really hard. I have no idea why! I just have these little laugh seizures sometimes. I laugh real hard and can't stop laughing. I stopped when Rain got up from the floor and started towards the door though.
"Where are you headed?" I asked.
"I got a job interview." She said as she picked up some pillows off the floor and smacked me in the head with 'em.
"Really? Where?"
"Um, it's a diner. Darry suggested it. He's going to drive me there."
"What for?" I asked a little too angry than I had expected.
"Why not?"
"I dunno, you have your own car, you can drive yourself there!" I snapped, but I had no idea why. I thought they would make a cute couple, why was I so upset that he was going to drive her somewhere?
"Calm down. It's not big deal. He's just giving me a ride, cuz I asked him to."
"Why'd you ask him to?" I couldn't stop. I just wanted to know.
"So you can spend time with Pony and I can't spend time with Darry?"
"No.but why have him drive you when you can?" Rain was starting to get annoyed by my endless questions.
"Cuz I wanted him to! Why do you care anyway? I can make my own decisions, ya know!" she snapped.
"Fine, whatever, I was us wondering."
She just picked up the rest of the pillows and left. I sat there on my bed for a while and thought. Thought about Darry and Rain and my situation with Pony. I disturbed by the knock on the door.
"Can you get that?" I heard Rain call out to me. "Tell Darry I'm not ready yet."
I got up from my bed and walked towards the door.
"Hi Summer." Darry said.
I don't know why but I was kinda pissed at him driving Rain to her interview.
"Hi" I said in a cold voice. "Sit down where ever; Rain's not quite ready yet."
I went into the kitchen. Jake came out from his room. He went over to Darry and questioned him about his presence until Rain walked in the room. Damn, she looked good. Darry looked up from Jake to Rain. He froze. I heard him compliment Rain on her looks and they left. Rain said bye, but I didn't say anything back. I really didn't know why I was so upset. I was so mixed up. Jake came into the kitchen.
"I'm hungry" he said to me but I didn't hear. I was lost in my own thoughts.
"Huh?"
"I'm hungry" he repeated.
"Would you like me to make you a sandwich?"
"Yes, please" he said and walked back to the living room.
I took some stuff out for a peanut butter sandwich and started buttering the bread. I was thinking about what to say to Pony. I really like him, but I barely know him! Ugh! What am gonna do???
I brought the sandwich to Jake, who was playing with his toy truck on the floor. Gosh, he loved that toy. He was always playing with that old thing. I remembered, that it was dads and dad had given it to him.
"UGH! PB and J with lettuce! Gross!" I heard Jake yell and spit out the chewed up peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but I wasn't listening.
I stared outside the window as Pony walked up to our porch and knocked on the door..

I took some stuff out for a peanut butter sandwich and started buttering the bread. I was thinking about what to say to Pony. I really like him, but I barely know him! Ugh! What am gonna do???
I brought the sandwich to Jake, who was playing with his toy truck on the floor. Gosh, he loved that toy. He was always playing with that old thing. I remembered, that it was dads and dad had given it to him.
"UGH! PB and J with lettuce! Gross!" I heard Jake yell and spit out the chewed up peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but I wasn't listening.
I stared outside the window as Pony walked up to our porch and knocked on the door..
