This idea just came to me. I like the idea and I hope you will too.
Chapter one
I was waling home from school one day with both my shoes on, I am happy to say. I had made sure that I had all the right notebooks so I could do my homework. I passed the park and I remembered that night with Johnny. That night happened months ago, but it would haunt me forever. I passed the lot and I was just about home when something caught the corner of my eye. It was a little girl. She was wearing a blue dress and had a red bow in her hair. Her skin was pale with flushed cheeks. She couldn't have been any older than four or five. She wasn't smiling and her dazzling blue eyes showed no emotions. Her features looked so distinct that I could have sworn she was a porcelain doll. Her parents didn't appear to be around, but I assumed they were somewhere around there.
I stopped looking at her and continued walking home.
That night, I couldn't get that little girl out of my head. I mean, it wasn't strange to see a little kid. They're all over the place. But there was something about this child that was a little different.
I sat on the couch, trying to read a book, but I guess I looked a little out of it because Darry asked me if I was all right.
" Yeah, Darry," I said when he asked me. " I'm fine."
" Okay," he said. " Just making sure."
I went back to my book, but that little girl… I couldn't get my mind off her. I knew I had seen her somewhere, but I couldn't remember. At least, I think I have seen her before.
The next day, on my way to school, I saw her again. She was still in the same spot as when I last saw her. I looked around for her parents, but I still couldn't find them. She still showed no emotions. I couldn't tell if she was bored or scared. I wanted to talk to her, but something told me not to.
That day at school, I couldn't stop thinking about that little girl. Every time I closed my eyes, she was standing there, waiting. I couldn't concentrate on my work.
When I walked home from school that day, she was still there. I wondered if she has stayed there all day. If she did, that was an awful long time. I decided to go over and talk to her.
" Hello," I said. " Where are your parents?"
" Hello," she answered. " I am not quite sure where my parents are, but I suppose they are around here somewhere."
She used some mighty big words for such a little girl. I doubted Tim Shepard knew what half the words she said meant.
" How old are you?" I asked.
" I am five years old. And you?"
" I'm fourteen. What's your name?"
" My name is Avery. What is yours?"
My name is Ponyboy."
" I like your name."
" Thank you. You have a very nice name too."
" Thank you."
" I have to go now."
" Have a nice day."
" You too."
I walked the rest of the way home. That was a very strange conversation. She was a very peculiar child. She talked in full sentences and used words that I didn't even know existed till I was eight years old. She was very peculiar indeed. I was wondering where her parents where. She must have had some geniuses of parents for them to teach her so well.
That night at dinner I didn't eat very much. I usually don't, but tonight I barley took two bites.
" Are you okay, Ponyboy?" Darry asked. He was asking that a lot these days.
" Yeah, Darry, I'm fine."
" Okay."
" hey," I said. " Do you ever notice that little girl standing outside every morning and every afternoon?"
" No," Darry and Soda said together.
" Oh, well I do."
" Do you have a crush?" Soda asked.
" No, she's only five."
" Whatever you say."
That night I couldn't fall asleep. Avery kept on staring at me with those big blue eyes and that emotional face. I wondered who her parents were and why they would leave their little girl out there all alone. I fell asleep asking myself those questions.
I really hoped you liked it! If you think you have an idea on where this is going, please tell me because I have no idea! Lol. Please tell me what you think
Forever and always
Blame it on the government
