Authors Note: Second chapter reloaded:D
Amy's POV from now on unless I say otherwise
Chapter 2:
The air was crisp and the sun was barely up as my eyes fluttered open. I must have either been kicked out or fallen asleep outside since I was shivering and outside. My arms had bruises and cuts all over them. My eyes shot around looking for something to wrap up these damn cuts. I mumbled a few curses finally finding some stray bandages I had left, wrapping my arms. Quietly, I tiptoed into the house looking for an extra pair of clothes. My eyes landed on a pair of black jeans and dark blue sleeveless sports top. I shrugged figuring it was easy enough and my switchblade was already in the jean pocket so why not?
The old man was passed out on the couch, beer bottle in hand. I shook my head taking it out of his hand and cleaning the table, clearing it of any excess trash. My old black sneakers were sitting under the table. I slipped them on and bolted out the door as fast as my legs would carry me. When I got a mile from the house I decided to walk since I was out of breath. My hands were jammed in my pockets and I slouched as I made my way to the school, my usual walk. I was never confident when I walked, or at least that's what everyone else said. Yet when I ran, everyone said I ran so fast you couldn't see how proud I looked. And by golly I knew that was true! I loved running; it was the one thing I was good at.
After glancing at my, now, bandaged arms I looked up. The school was only a few feet away. A few girls looked over at me waving "HEY AM'S!" they smiled. Both Soc's and Greasers alike hung out with me. I was just that kinda person. Adored by many in the school, hell most couldn't tell I was a greaser. I didn't like fighting and I was pretty timid to have grown up on the "bad sided" of town. I waved a little seeing Ponyboy and Johnny. Man I had to admit that Johnny had such a cute look. He looked like a defeated puppy, which made him look adorable. I felt a hand on my shoulder just when the two boys noticed me. I spun around and I swore I jumped ten feet in the air!
I gulped "Amber! Lordy you scared me!" I figured no one was around so I could talk in my normal tounge. See I'm from waaaaay out in the country originally so I talk, well like a country girl. She laughed some smirking "sorry farm girl." I glared "I AINT NO FARM GIRL!" she noticed my arms as they were flailing about "what happened to you now?" I smiled a little pulling my arms away from her gaze "I umm fell down." I gulped feeling the lump in my throat. Cautiously, I backed up but ran into someone. Once again I jumped around falling on my ass "LORDY PONYBOY!" is sighed "is everyone out to get me today or somethin?"
He smiled a bit laughing "nah its just fun to see that expression." Johnny stood behind him kicking at the dirt quietly. My eyes dashed up at the clock as I stood back up "Damn I don' wanna' go to Science class." I picked up my old book bag. When I say old, I MEAN old. I had, had that damn thing since third grade and I was well in high school now. It was nothing fancy. A blue back pack with a few rips that got things from point A to point B. I had to work for mym stuff and I didn't really care about having the most Fashionable clothes or backpacks or shoes. If it worked nice, was comfortable and did its job then I bought it.
I smiled humming to myself. It was some song in Russian I had heard and those songs do a good job of finding a way into my head and staying put. I heard it a while ago when my old friend Ariel stayed and brought these CD's she had gotten from a trip to Russia. I was mumbling a few words from the song. Not really singing but not really not singin either. I turned when I heard laughing "will you all talk if I get singin and you're behind me?" I glared walking like I usually do. Johnny Shrugged "your voice is real pretty." Pony nodded in agreement and I turned my head feeling my ears get red "No it aint.." Amber smirked putting her arm on my shoulder "whatever speedy gan zallas." I smiled at her nickname for me. She always seemed to use that whenever I was feeling embarrassed. I giggled twirling "see you guys in gym"
I saw Johnny and pony smile, Johnny not as much as pony. The black haired boy didn't even really look up. Damn was I that perky. I had to admit I always thought I was a little over the top but they looked at me as if I needed mental help. I didn't know maybe it was my imagination. I knew Johnny was a bright boy and he loved learning. He was just slower than others so they put him in the slow classes. I was horrible in math so they stuck me in the class to.
I couldn't think straight during my first class. I hastily finished my first project, some stupid mixing of chemicals, and sat quietly watching the clock slowly tick away the seconds. When it clicked at 9:10 I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to the gym and quickly got changes into a pair of black sweat pants and a white shirt. My hair was, as usual, tied up neatly with a blue ribbon, that ribbon meant the world to me. No one would guess I was a greaser, but I was. The teacher told us to go out and run around the school three times, which I was fine with being the runner. I loved gym, the teacher loved me dearly since she's also the track coach
Like usual, I took off sprinting down the sidewalk onto the grass. The only one in front of me was my good track buddy Kate. I caught up with her after looking back. Johnny and Pony were in the middle of the line of people. "Hey Kate." I smiled running next to her. She flashed me her beautiful Hollywood smile. She was a soc like most of the others on the track team. "Hey Am's! Man with you on our team we'll never loose a meet." She giggled and I felt my ears go red "Shucks I aint that good! You and Amanda got me beat in the running part!" Her head shook, making her dirty blonde hair a mess "No way you're so much better!" I laughed a little running ahead smiling with pride. Maybe it would be a good day after all.
