Hey, Kate here, sorry I wasn't able to update for a while, ok for like 2
days or so, but w/e. I am still sick and I had to stay home from school
today but because of the wonderful reviews I got from people for the last
chapter, I just had to write a new chapter today. So here goes..
Chapter 13
"The Socs"
~Summer's P.O.V.~
Pony got up from the couch.
"You wanna walk to the park?" he asked me.
"Sure" I replied immediately. I wanted some alone time with Pony.
I got up from the couch and took Pony's hand. We walked towards the door, trying to sneak out without the gang noticing. But Soda stopped us.
"Where are you guys goin?" he asked.
"Um, just to the park and back." Pony said, nervously.
Soda gave Pony a questioning look. He then turned over to me. I gave him a pleading look, wishing he would let us go. Darry would already give us a hard time; we still had to face him. He grinned at me and winked at Pony.
"Be back soon though, I don't want the socs giving you any trouble."
Pony nodded and we headed out, as we said good bye to the gang. As we stepped on the porch, I noticed the darkness and the sudden quietness. I turned over to the little swing that was hanging just near the window, just like ours. I noticed Darry and Rain were kissing silently. I wondered who kissed who. It was probably Rain that kissed Darry. Even though I didn't know Darry much, I knew that he was kinda shy and Rain wasn't!
Pony slowly walked towards the steps, I fallowed. We were just about to get away with it, when I took a step and the wooden floor silently creaked. It was enough for Darry to hear.
"Ponyboy is that you?" he called into the darkness.
"Let's just keep on going, maybe we can still get away with it." Pony whispered to me.
I nodded. We just kept on walking until we were off the porch, but not out of the Curtis' property yet.
Pony slowly opened the gate slowly. We both walked out. I was about to close the gate door behind me, when someone turned the porch light on. I turned around. Darry was standing on the steps, and Rain was still sitting on the swing. She looked at me and grinned. I grinned back.
"Ponyboy, where do you think you guys are going?" Darry asked.
"Um, well just to the park." Pony answered.
"At this hour? Do you know how dangerous that is?"
I looked at Darry. Danger? What danger? We were only going to the park.
"Darry, let them go, come on." Rain said.
Pony and I both looked at Rain. I knew she wanted to be alone with Darry, so she was trying to talk him into letting us go.
"Yeah, come on, Darry let us go. If any socs bother us, Pony will protect us." I said with a grin.
Darry thought for a while then gave in.
"Fine, but be careful." He said.
"We will" I said as I grabbed Pony's hand and ran down the street.
I stopped when we got to the park and sat down on one of the benches.
"You're a good runner" Pony said, trying to catch his breath.
"I'm a cross country runner, I outta be."
"Wow, really? I'm on the track team" Pony said in a surprised voice.
"No wonder you're so muscular, with all that practice, who wouldn't be?" I said, teasingly.
"Ha, ha" he said. "Hey, if we ran into any socs, I would kick their ass!"
I looked at him with a grin.
"I'm sure, ya would Pony!" I said.
He nodded. I leaned in to give him a kiss.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" I heard a male voice say from behind me.
I turned around. There were 3 guys leaning on a red mustang.
"Get lost!" Pony said, getting up.
"Pony, what's going on?" I asked when I already knew the answer. So these were the so called social. They didn't look any more worthy than any of the greasers did.
"Who's this? Your girlfriend grease?" one of them asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, she is" Pony said defensively.
I just stood there in total silence.
"She don't look your kind, greaser." The soc with the blond hair said.
"Who are you to say whether Pony's worthy of me or not?" I snapped at him. Pony was a kind, protective gentleman. I didn't care whether he had as much money as me or not.
"Honey, I think you're new here, you don't know what your kind is." The blonde haired one said.
"Your right, I am new here, but I know what's my kind or not. You sure ain't, Pony's more like it." I said in a bitter voice.
"Someone outta teach you how to talk to your own kind, sweetie."
"Well, I'm not trash like you, so I can talk however I want to you. You dirty rotten soc!" I snapped. Pony grabbed my arm and pulled me behind him. I think I went too far; I should have never called him a 'dirty rotten soc'.
"Oh, so you think we're dirty and rotten. You outta learn some respect, baby. And we'll teach you respect."
"You stay away from her!" Pony said. "Your business is with me, leave her out of it." I can't remember the last time I had been in a situation like this. But I was good at defending myself. I didn't take Karate lessons for nothing.
"I've got a problem alright. What's a pretty lady like herself is doing with a greaser like you? It's a problem, alright." The blond guy said. He then turned to me, "You shouldn't be hanging out with trash like this!"
"Don't you call him trash!" I screamed. "He's my boyfriend, and he can kick you're ass anytime!"
I looked at Pony. He had worry in his eyes. Worry that he might not be able to fight 3 tough guys by himself, worry that I might get hurt. But I wasn't scared.
"Bring it on!" he soc snarled.
Pony pushed me back and told me run home and get the guys. But I wasn't about to leave him alone with 3 socs, and let them beat the crap out of him. One of the socs grabbed Pony. He tried to fight the soc off, but damn that soc was big! He had Pony pinned down in a millisecond. The other two ran towards me. They grabbed me by my arms holding me back from helping Pony up. Hey turned me around so I could see the big soc beat the crap out of Pony. It was killing me seeing him like that. I turned my head away but the blond soc grabbed my chin and turned it towards Pony.
"Oh, no Honey! You're going to watch us beat the crap out of your boyfriend. That's what a greasy hood like him deserves anyway." He said to me.
I turned my head away in disgust. The other soc, holding me right arm, slapped me hard across the face.
"This will teach you to hang out with him ever again!" he said.
I felt my face get hot, where he had slapped me. The guy slapped me a couple more times, as I tried to get away. What they did to me was nothing though, Pony was the one that was really getting it. That soc just kept on hitting him, and hitting him. I had to do something. I didn't want Pony to die! Oh, god! What should I do. The only thing I thought about doing was to kick the guys on the groin as hard as I can! I got loose from one of the guys and kicked the other one as hard as I can in the crotch. I turned around and punched the other guys as hard as can on the nose. I learned in health class that if you punch someone on the right spot on their nose, they might black out.
I turned around and saw the other soc, who I had kicked in the nuts, laying on the floor in pain, grabbing his balls. The other soc, who I punched on the nose was on the floor, grabbing his nose, while the grass slowly stained from the blood. I looked over at Pony. He wasn't having much trouble, knowing I was able to take care of myself. He was slugging it out of that big soc! I was so attracted to him right then. He had a look of pure hatred in his eyes, and was just punching the guy here and there, where ever for ever laying a hand on his girl. I felt so protected.
Pony got up from the ground when the big guy finally passed out from the pain. He turned to me. I almost puked. His face was covered with blood and he had cuts all over him. Even though I hate blood, this was my boyfriend's blood. He bled trying to protect me, so I walked over to him, and gave him a little kiss in the lips. I could taste the blood in my mouth, but I didn't care. It's almost like, I love him, I love him so much, that I don't care if I'm tasting his blood or not! I couldn't believe my own thoughts. But it was true. I did love him.
"Come, on let's go before the bastards wake up" Pony said.
I put his arm over my shoulder and we walked towards Pony's house. When we got there the porch light was still on, but there was no sight of Rain or Darry. It was cold, so I guess they were inside. We walked up the porch, a trail of blood fallowing us. I opened the door slowly.
Two-bit and Jake were asleep on the floor with the tv still going. Soda and Steve were playing cards on the table and Rain and Darry were talking silently on the couch. All the heads turned towards us when we walked in.
Rain and Darry jumped up from the couch.
"What happened?" Darry asked, real worry in his voice.
"We whooped some soc ass that's what!" I said, in an awkwardly cheerful voice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
