Chapter 2

The essay and The crossing line

Pony Pov

I woke up this morning with Soda's arm around me and I couldn't help but feel guilty. I knew Soda was feeling awful right now . And all that because of me. I wished I could talk to them and explain that they shouldn't worried about me . Its not like I'm dead or anything. I was still alive. Which was all the problem. I looked at the clock and saw that it was pretty early in the morning. I decided that I was going to start the essay my teacher had talked to us about. I already had made one essay about everything that had happen. My teacher was pretty impress. I got a A for that one. But since then my teacher asked us to do another essay. Its about something that we wished we could say to someone but that we never could for whatever reason. Yeah I know pretty weird uh. Always knew he hadn't all his head anyway. Until now I didn't know what to wrote about. I took my pen and without really noticing it I start writing. It wasn't due until next week but since I had free time...

My brothers are the most important persons in my life and I love them to death. But while I could probably say that easily to my brother soda I could never say it so easily to Darry. Why... I don't know why. I love Darry as much as I love Soda. Darry was and always will be my hero. Since I was little I always saw him as a super hero or something. You know Darry has two set of cold blue ice eyes that can make you froze in a second when he stare at you. Don't get me wrong Darry is not a bad guy. No he's pretty caring now that I think about it. Darry love completely and he's devoted to the people he loves. He gave up college and all his dream for me and soda. He work so hard that its scary. And he never complain about it. He's amazing really. But Darry he's only 20 years old but act like a 40 years old man. And its sad really.

Looking at the clock again I saw that I should prepare myself for school. Soda wasn't working today so I let him sleep. By the time I was out of the shower I saw that I was already late. Running to the door I yell goodbye and ran towards school. It wasn't until I was in class that I remember the essay. oh well I though its not a big deal ill finish it later.

My second class was finish and it was break time. I was walking toward Two bit and Steve class. I was pretty surprised when I saw him. Steve doesn't come often to school. But now that I think of it he seem to come more since.. well since the things happened. Suddenly a group of socs came toward me. They start saying wise comments about me being a greaser and all ( like I didn't know that already) you know the usual stuff. I kept walking anyway I had spotted Two Bit and Steve they were walking toward me already their eyes burning with anger. Then one of the soc told me.

- You know you are just like your brothers you're as dumb as them I mean come on Darry isn't even going to college and the soda one dropped school. At least he was smart enough to notice that he was too dumb to stay.

I froze in place. This was just too much. I lose it. For the first time in my life I really lose it. That socs had crossed the line.

Turning toward the one who had said that I punched him hard. He felt backward surprised by my attack and I just jump on him. Punching and kicking and screaming things that would have made even Dally blush. I didn't care where I was hitting him I was so damn mad. He didn't have the right to say anything about my brothers. But the soc was stronger than me and he pushed me away. My nose was bleeding and my lips was probably cut but I didn't care. I wasn't done with him and I was still pretty mad.

-who the hell are you to talk about my brothers like that. You don't even know what having a family mean. You think you own the world because you have money. Well new flash you're nothing.. nothing at all. And who the hell are you calling dumb. I'm fourteen years old and yet I'm in the same class as you. I'm more smart than all of your damn friends put together.

By the end of my screaming speech I was ready to jump on him again when I felt someone taking me backward. It was the principal .

Hell I though Darry was going to kill me.

So... another chapter done. I'm not really happy with it but anyway ... review please
