Being Young

Chapter 2

(Reader's POV)

"Guess what!" Ponyboy said. He had been felling better as the day went on. Connie said he had started to feel better around noon.

"What?" asked Sodapop.

"I'm a big boy!" said Pony while laughing.

"We know!" said Connie. "You tell us every chance you get."

"Why are you a big boy?" asked Two-bit. Ponyboy replied with "Because I eat carrots, unlike you!"

"Gross!"

"Well, you cwayzie if you don't like carrots!" said Ponyboy with a big smile on his face.

"Well…um…at least I'm not a horse! Haha."

"Well at least I don't spend all day stuffing my face like a pig!" (A/N: I know that 3-year-olds don't say long sentences like this but it's fiction!) said Ponyboy giggling.

"I don't stuff my face like a pig, do I?" said two-bit confused.

"Yes you do!" said the gang, but all they heard out of Connie was laughter.

(Darry's POV)

Ponyboy and Two-bit's fights have seemed to become a ritual at dinner every night that Two-bit isn't drunk. After dinner Pony showed me his new toy truck.

"It's red, Darry! It's red!"

"I see it Pony, but it's time to take your bath."

"NO!" after he screamed he started to run away but I caught him before he could get to far.

"Yes. You are going to take a bath." after I said this Ponyboy started to frown but,

"BUBBLES!"

"Okay."

A/N/N: Please Review! Sorry it's short but I can only type a little at a time because my cousin closed the door on my hand and it hurts. Bye for now!
