Two- Bit was telling jokes to Velma for the rest of the walk. She laughed, but never heard such language in jokes, or such dirty punch lines.

"You know any jokes?" He asked her after alittle while.

"No...But I know lots of riddles...but I don't think you'd get them.." She said shyly.

"Like what? Gimme one." He smiled, " I'll get it."

"Ok..." She sighed abit, " Why is a Raven like a writing desk?" She asked him

"That's Easy!" He said.. Velma waited for an answer. But none came.

"You have no idea, do you?" She was smiling, and trying not to laugh

" Not the slightest, nope." He was still smiling.

She noticed that his smile disappeare when he saw a black car slow down as it began to pass. Two-bit stood closer to Velma, like he was trying to hide her from the view of people in the car. The speed up and finally passed. But she had to ask, " Who were they?" Obviously worry in her tone. " No body." He smiled at her.

Eventually, They said their good-byes and parted ways. Velma had got into her house and went around looking for her parents, and of course, they weren't home. She smiled abit. She was in a better mood today. It really is going to be different here.. she thought. And she went up and did her homework.

The next day, She had just closed her locker and was heading toward the cafeteria, putting her books into her bookbag, when she ran into someone, causing her to drop her books. " Oh! my god. I am soo sorry..." She said as she got onto her knees and scrambled to pick up her books.

" It's alright.." The voice was kind of familiar. She looked up and saw the grey- eyed boy from her home room class, helping her pick up her books. He smiled at her, " I'm Ponyboy.. "

She returned his smile, " I'm Velma."

" Hey! I figured it ou-" Both Ponyboy and Velma looked down the hall in the direction of the voice just in time to see Two-bit trip of over his own feet. He cursing, Ponyboy was laughing, and Velma went to go help him up. Two-bit just brushed off his pants, " Right. Now...what was I sayin'?" He scratched the back of his head for a moment, " Oh yeah!" He said with a snap of his fingers, " ask me that riddle again"

"What?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Just ask it!" He was smiling and seemed rather pleased with himself.

"What is a raven like a writing desk?" She was seemed amused.

" Because they can produce a few notes,though are very flat; and its never put with the wrong end in front!" He had on a huge Cheshire Cat grin and started to laugh. Velma had a shocked expression on her face. " How'd you -" She was cut off by Ponyboy, " I told him the answer yesterday when he asked me. You didn't really think He was smart enough to figure it out on his own, I mean - OW!" Two- Bit had smacked him in the back of the head.

"Anyway." Ponyboy went on, rubbing the spot where he was hit, " I was going to ask you If you wanted to join me and the guys in the parking lot for lunch." He told her

Velma was about to decline the offer, but Two- Bit spoke up first.

"Great idea, Pony!" He grabbed Velma and dragged her out into the parking lot, followed by Ponyboy. She didn't exactly object, but she wasn't all to eager to go.

In the parking lot. There were abunch of guys dressed like Ponyboy and Two-bit, some were drinking, some were smoking. But they looked alot tougher and meaner that Ponyboy and Two-bit. They all were glaring at her as Two-Bit pulled her closer. " Guys! This is Velma - "

"She's a soc" A tall, blond boy said with a harsh voice.It made her want to turn around and go back inside, But Two-Bit had his arm around her shoulders.

"Velma, Thats Dally, and Johnny.." He was pointing at them as he said their names, " And that one's Steve..shorter guy beside him is Curly"

Velma gave a small,"hi.."

"Two Bit, Can I uh...talk... to you for a minute..." Said Dally, " Over there...Alone"

Two-Bit shrugged and went with Dally afew meters away, " So, Dally, what ya wanna talk about?" He asked.

"She's a Soc." Dally said, sounding very annoyed

"Yes. I think you pointed that out alreay, Dal."

" What the hell are ya doing bringing a soc around?" Dally asked, trying to to yell." Man, you know its

never good when one of her kind is around!"

"Yeah, you're right. She's a real threat." Two- Bit said in a very very sarcastic tone. He point over at her.

Velma was standing beside Ponyboy and Johnny. Pony and Johnny were talking, but Velma was looking rather nervous, maybe alitle scared.She was real quiet. She had the feeling she wasn't really wanted hanging around.

Dally sighed," Ok. Fine. She can stay, But one thing goes wrong.." He said warningly. He walked back over to the rest of the group.

Note : I know, its kinda shorter than the last one. But I got a little block sighs
