HERE"S MY NEXT CHAPTER……. HOPE U LIKE IT!
The Soc's Revenge: Chapter 16:
I looked around. Everyone was watching me. It felt weird with everyone watching me. I felt like the walls were closing in. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't talk, I just couldn't stop shaking. I don't wanna be here, I wanna be home. I don't wanna be here…….
"How are you today, Mr. Curtis," the judge asked.
I snapped out of my thoughts and glared at him and said as sarcastically as I could:
"Just dandy!"
"Is it true that you and our brother beat up, my client?"
"That ain't true at all. Your client is a liar! Them stupid soc's beat up Soda and me. We was just fighting back is all."
"I see. And was there a reason for them to being do this, Mr. Curtis?."
I wish this fancy soc lawyer would stop calling me Mr. Curtis. It really makes me mad. I thought for a moment. Then I finally said:
"Yeah.There was a reason. Two actually."
"And what would those be?"
"Well, one is because their dumb and they have nothin' better to do than beat up some greasers. Second of all, James was getting revenge for what happened last year."
The lawyer paused and looked at me funny. Then he continued:
"What happened last year, Mr. Curtis?."
There he goes with the Mr.Curtis again…….
"Bob Shelton was killed."
"But you were seen beating up James and his friends."
"Yeah right. We were set up by them stupid socs."
"No further questioning, your honor."
"Thank you, Mr. Curtis. You may step down," the judge said.
"Whatever," I mumbled.
I got off the stand and went to sit down. I was shaking real bad. The rest of the trial went by in a blur. Darry and the gang had all been on the stand and they talked about me and Soda. They said that we were good kids and that we didn't deserve to be in the reformatory.
"Alright," the judge said. "This case will have a recess. It will be continued tomorrow. Court is now adjourned."
The guards led us away and threw us back into the car. Back to the reformatory we went. Our fate would be determined tomorrow…….
