HEY EVERYONE! WELL, THIS IS MY LAST CHAP! YEP! BUT DUN WRRY! MY SEQUEL WILL BE OUT SOON LOL! WELL, HERE GOES:
(By the way: the soc lawyer's name is Mr. Strutton.)
The Soc's Revenge: Chapter 17:
Pony's POV:
Trying to sleep was useless. I simply just couldn't. I was too nervous. What if the judge decided to lock us up here forever? I know I couldn't take that. This place is too horrible. Dally always got sent here. But they always let him go because he had parents. Darry was fighting to get custody of me and Soda. All these thoughts were making me nervous and tense and weren't at all helping with my temporary insomnia.
"Oh, God," I whispered. "Save me!"
the next morning…….
The guards came and woke me up and I jumped. I didn't even know that I fell asleep. It felt like I couldn't sleep just 2 minutes ago. Man, was I screwed up.
"Get moving," the guard barked.
"Ah, shut-up," I mumbled under my breath.
The guard grabbed me by the shirt. I just looked at him. I was here too long to be scared anymore.
"What did you say?."
"Who me," I asked innocently. "I didn't say anything. I swear. I was just walkin'."
When he let go of me and turned around I gave him the finger. These guards could be so dumb sometimes.
Soda's POV:
I was already in the car when they threw Pony in.
"Hey," I said to him.
"Hi."
"You ready," I asked.
"As much as I can be."
I nodded and looked out the window. I was nervous though I didn't show it. I was shaking inside. I didn't know what to expect. I hoped and prayed that the judge would let us go but you never could be too sure. Before going back to the reformatory yesterday, the soc lawyer came up to me. Pony was already in the car. I still vividly remember what he had said to me.
the previous day…….
"Don't worry," the lawyer said. "I will make sure that you and your brother will be locked up for a very long time."
"But we didn't do anything."
"Oh I know that. James told me the story. But I still want to put you greasers away for good. Maybe it'll set an example that you filth are not wanted in Tulsa."
back to the present…….
I shuddered. I didn't bother telling Ponyboy. He's already worried enough as it is. I still couldn't shake the fact that the soc lawyer could be so cruel. Sure some socs are ok, like Cherry. But some are just plain awful. I was losing all hope that we would get out. It was only a matter of time. A matter of time before we would know for sure…….
Pony's POV:
"All rise, all rise. Court is now in session."
I stood up. So did everyone else. The judge came in. We all sat down. I was nervous. I couldn't think straight.
"Mr. Sodapop and Ponyboy Curtis and Mr. Strutton approach the bench," the judge said.
Me and Soda and the soc went up to the bench.
"I have reached a verdict," the judge said.
I was shaking and holding on to Soda. This was the moment. The moment that would determine our fate. I didn't wanna know, I don't wanna know, I'm too scared to find out…….
"By the power invested in me, I hereby release Ponyboy and Sodapop Curtis into the custody of Daryl Curtis."
Me and Soda screamed in happiness and Darry and the gang went wild. We all hugged and cried and laughed. We were so happy. I couldn't believe it! I thought I was dreaming!
And now walking with the gang to the car I thought. Finally we were free. No more reformatory. Free. We would be able to live. Free. That's what we are. Free…….
