Chapter 6
(A/N yes there is one very corny scene I couldn't think of anything for her to say, so sorry for the cornyness)
I recognized his voice from somewhere, but I had never met him before, it was weird,
"Do I know you?" Toby broke me from my thoughts.
"Huh? No I don't think so,"
"Oh cuz I recognized you from somewhere," See! Even he thought he knew me…
Ponyboy's POV
My god, this kid was trying to flirt with my sister! Not that's she's not pretty or anything but she just doesn't seem like a girl to me, you know what I mean, she's like one of the guys, just more uh…sensitive. Eww…
"C ya later baby!" he winked at her as she walked away.
"Wow she's cute,"
"Yah and she's my sister,"
"I know…Is she always like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like so funny, I was laughing so hard my gut hurts,"
"Oh, yah sometimes I guess, I figured Soda was always the funny one,"
"Cool," He grabbed his math book and walked to class.
After school
Toby and I were waiting outside, it was 3:30 and she was 15 minutes late.
"Ok I'm gonna go look for her," I said
"OK and I'll stay here in case she comes out," I walked in the school, first I checked her homeroom then the detention hall, there she was writing lines on the board,
"I will not yell profanities at students"…1,2,3,4,5…19 she was just finishing her 20th line then she wrote 'I wasn't yelling profanities I gave the damn kid the finger! I laughed and I watched her walk over to the teacher point at the board and the teacher started yelling at her,
"No! I'm not going to write it again, I'm late as it is!" That was my queue.
"C'mon Star your going to be late for you therapist," I said trying not to laugh, we did this often to get out of detention, as we walked out the door Toby was standing there laughing at us,
"You dig okay!" Toby and I talked most of the way home Star was glancing everywhere I hadn't seen anyone that nervous since Johnny, and that's saying something. We decided to drop our bags and go off an' meet Soda and Steve. Star wanted to stay outside and wait for us, I argued but she said she'd be fine,
"Anyways Socs don't come to this gas station,"
Starlet's POV
I was standing outside when 4 very large boys started to approach me, I could tell they were Socs from their Madras shirts.
"We're gonna teach you to rat on my brother and this time we're not going to be as nice as them," he flicked out his knife, I jumped back and knocked right into another boy, he grabbed my arms in a tight grip. As the Soc advanced at me he said,
"Take her far from the station we don't want her brother coming," I was struggling as they drag me close to the fields,
"HELP!!! Somebody get Ponyboy, HELP!!!" I screamed, they dropped me on the grass as I hit the ground I bounced back up but was caught and pinned, I stared at him in fear he brought the knife closer to my face I squirmed, he slashed me across the face I shut my eyes in fear and screamed again,
"PONYBOY, SODAPOP, STEVE, TOBY, ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I felt him slash me again and my body was flung to the side, I peeked out my eyes, I recognized Toby's shoes then Soda's and Pony's I shut my eye again when I felt blood hit my cheek, afraid it was my own. Then I heard running feet and shouts. I felt several hands touching my face, I opened my eyes and Soda was there right up in my face,
"Hey everyone she's alive!" He grinned, I looked at everyone and seriously everyone was there,
"That's it I'm not leaving the house ever again," I jumped up and brushed my cheek, looking around I saw the 4 guys retreating down the street. I ran to catch up with them I heard everyone follow. I walked up to Charlie's brother,
"Hey you,"
"Whudda you want? Want me to make you cry like a baby again?" I saw him glance at the gang,
"No, I want to make YOU cry like a baby,"
"Haha!" he laughed, that's when I took my chance,
"Hiya!" I kicked him right in the balls, (A/N here comes the cornyness :P)
"That's for me." I kicked him again
"That's for my brothers," I kicked him one last time to make him fall,
"That's for my friends," He was on the ground whimpering I stepped right on his groin really hard,
"And that's for you," I spat in his face, I turned to go home but his friends started to advance on me I lifted my leg and they ran like little kids. I was steaming when I left I could hear the roar of laughter from the guys I started to skip home.
"Oh that was great kiddo," Steve said slamming me hard on the back,
"Ow! Easy Steve I'm not Soda yah know," I swung my arm over his shoulder and knocked him down,
"But I am stronger!"
"What you say sweetheart?" Soda came out of the kitchen in an apron,
"That I'm stronger then you,"
"Right now! Prove it!" I grabbed his arm in the arm wrestle position and the fight began,
"Where's Pony?"
"Out on the porch smoking with that Toby kid,"
"It's nice he has another friend," I said pushing harder on his arm,
"Yah just what the doctor ordered,"
"Haha!" I knocked his arm against the table,
"I wasn't concentrating!" Soda pleaded
"Yah yah go make dinner," He sulked away into the kitchen, I jumped up and ran outside, I pulled the weed from Pony's mouth and took a long drag on it.
"Darry will kill yah if he sees you smoking,"
"So you started when you were 12, I'm 14!Why can't I cuz I'm a girl?"
"No because Darry cares too much about you to lose you to some disease linked to smoking," I looked at him and took another long drag before handing to back to him,
"I've been thinking Ponyboy,"
"Oh no," Pony winked to Toby
"Funny, anyways I was thinking how I want to help at the rumble next week,"
"Huh?"
"You heard me, it's a skin fight nothing will happen,"
"That sounds too famillar, No way uh huh"
"You suck! I'm going to ask Soda bout' it," As I walked away I heard Toby say something,
"Why don't you let her fight?"
"Mmm Soda whatcha cooking?"
"Green eggs and ham!" I laughed and ran into the kitchen,
"Now whatcha really cooking?"
"Seriously Green eggs and ham," nothing out of the ordinary he usually makes green pancakes,
"Ok and during dinner can we read Dr. Suess?"
"Sure!" Steve piped in. I heard the door open, afraid it was Darry I ran to do my homework.
"Dinner's ready," I walked into the kitchen and sat right on top of Toby,
"Whoops sorry," I blushed and moved over a seat, Soda sat on top of me,
"Whoops sorry," He said mocking me,
"Haha very funny Soda, not," Ponyboy and Toby started laughing, even Darry cracked a smile,
"Soda what would you like for Christmas little boy?" I said while he was still sitting on my lap,
"Umm, a boyfriend?" He batted his eyelashes,
"Ugh," I pushed him off my lap and everyone broke out into laughter,
"Soda I was thinking about helping out at the rumble,"
"Whatcha gonna do? Sell cookies?
"Yah," I frowned "No of course not, I'm gonna fight you saw me today I can handle my own,"
"What she do today? And no you cant" Darry said
"Why not?"
"She beat a Soc up today after he jumped her today at DX boy should of seen it Darry she had them cowering like dogs with their tails between their legs!" Steve exclaimed
"Oh crap look at the time I've got to go, Thanks for dinner Soda, Darry," Toby nodded and pushed up from the table, Pony was to busy stuffing his face to walk Toby to the door, so I being a lady followed him, quietly I heard Soda,
"Ooh hahaha" I frowned and continued to the door, as we stepped on the porch Toby spoke up,
"Your family is real funny, I hope I could come by again soon,"
"Oh yah sure defiantly," I smiled and blushed. Toby leaned over and pressed his lips against mine, finally we broke away,
"Uh, bye."
