I knew Pony had live some pretty bad things. But I never knew how much until I've read his essay. I was left speechless. When me and Soda enter the principal's office we were quite surprise to see Pony's English teacher there also. The principal explain to us that Pony was a great student with an amazing talent to write. He never had problem with him before and he was willing to let the incident of the fight go just like that. Then he said that he was leaving us with Mr. Johnson ( that was the teacher name) cause he had some stuff to show us. Now that's a weird one I'm telling you but he obviously had a lot of affection for Pony. He didn't talk a lot he only gave each of us a copy of Pony' essay and left us to read it. I finished it before Soda and I was completely in shock I was feeling so bad for my little brother. Everything was now making sense. All the stuff he was screaming about the other night. About how he was suppose to be the one dying. I could understand why he though that but still there was no way I was going to let him believing it. Turning around I saw that Soda had tears in his eyes. I wasn't feeling to good either. I didn't get why all this had to happen to Pony. He was a sweet boy and wouldn't hurt a fly.

This was so damn unfair. He didn't deserve all that. He shouldn't live trough all that. Sighing softly I reach for Soda and try consoled him the best I could even though my own heart was breaking for my little baby.

I was waiting for Pony outside of his class. I didn't saw him this morning and I was pretty sure he was doing everything in his power to avoid me. He was probably feeling bad about his last night outburst. But as far as I was concerned I didn't give a damn about it. If that could help him coming back to his old self then he could to a scene like this every damn day if he wanted. I saw him coming toward me with but then he saw me and stop walking right away. Sighing softly I made my way toward him anyway.

-Hey Pony

-hum hey he say without making eyes contact with me which strangely hurt me a little.

I could tell he wasn't feeling to good right now and he was probably expecting me to say something about last night. But I wasn't going to do that. I had decide that I was going to act like nothing had ever happen in the first place.

-Steve is waiting for us outside lets go eat I'm starving

-sure

My plan had work Pony was less nervous around me than before and he was actually smiling a little. It wasn't a big smile but hey it was better than nothing right.

Steve Pov

I was standing outside waiting for Pony and Two bits. I wasn't feeling to good though. The fact that I was going to face that kid again today wasn't really appealing to me. Yeah I being pretty unfair toward the kid. But I just can't allow myself to have feeling. If you wanted to survive in my hood ya just had to be a cold heart bastard. Beside all feeling ever did is making you hurt. Look at the kid for example. He always show emotion and now he's hurt. Nope I just can't allow myself to feel anything anymore. I f I wanted to survive I had to stick with the cold bastard routine. Even if it wasn't making me feeling to hot about myself.

Ooof another chapter done. Yeah i know its been a while but hey i'm back now arent i
