Chapter 1: I So Hate You

Ponyboy's POV

It was a hot July day of the year 1967. The whole day I tried to keep myself from dehydrating, so Johnny and I went to the movie house to cool off. When the movie ended it was about 7:00 PM, I didn't have to be home until dusk. So Johnny had the idea of hanging out in the lot, where we usually just relax. Once we got there we laid down under a tree, trying to escape from the heat. We fell asleep for about half an hour and when I opened my eyes I saw the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen. I woke up Johnny and he was amazed by the view too. I could never tell my friends about my passion for sunsets; just Johnnycake and my brother Sodapop. It was about 9:00 PM when we decided to head for my house. I took out a weed and handed one to Johnny, Sodapop always told me I was the weed addict in the family; I guess he was right. Once we stepped onto my block, all I heard was arguing going on. Usually there is loud music being played from my house, but today was different. I looked at Johnny and he shrugged his shoulders. We decided to run instead of walking, to find out what all the commotion was about. Once I stepped onto my porch I threw my cigarette on the ground and smashed it with my shoe, Johnny did the same thing. I opened the door and saw Sodapop sitting at the dinner table, Dallas was sitting on the arm of the couch, and Two-Bit was slouched on the armchair watching television.

"What's going on, you guys?" I asked as me and Johnny walked in.

"You know, just us guys talking." Two-Bit said not taking his eyes off of the television screen.

"Yeah, then why was there yelling?" Johnny said digging his fists into his jacket pocket.

"Two-Bit just got back from date with his "blonde" girlfriend and he said he saw Sylvia with another guy." Soda said giggling at the thought of Two-Bit and one of his many "blondes".

"She was probably with a friend or something." Dallas said looking more steamed then ever.

"Yeah when pigs fly and Two-Bit finally dates a red head." Soda said chuckling at his own remark.

"Oh yeah, and what about your broad? I didn't want to tell you this, man, but I saw Sandy and another guy making out at The Nightly Double." Dally said making hand gestures while he talked.

Soda froze and his face went blank. "Stop lying Dally. I know Sandy would never do that to me." Soda didn't want to believe the horrible truth he heard from his greaser buddy.

"I'm sorry, man. But it's the truth." Dallas said smirking a little, seeing that he got pay back for what Soda said about Sylvia and the mystery man. Johnny and I sat down on the couch and just watched Soda and Dallas engage in an argument.

"Sandy would never do that! Maybe Sylvia would do something like that but not Sandy!" Soda yelled. My eyes widened, Soda is sure gonna get it now. Dallas also widened his eyes at that statement Soda yelled out.

"You son of a bitch, tell me you did not just say that!" Dally got up from the couch's arm and Soda then got up from his seat too.

"Did I stutter?" Soda was out of his mind. I thought for sure that Dallas was going to knock Soda's teeth out. Soda and Dally were only inches away from each other. Then Dally suddenly grabbed Soda by his shirt collar.

"I dare you to say that again." Dally had this evil grin on his face. I couldn't face Soda and Dally start to brawl.

"Guys stop it!" I yelled. I didn't want any blood action here and now. Dally, Soda, and Two-Bit both looked at me. Dallas dropped Soda and Two-Bit continued to watch T.V.

"C'mon Soda, stop bothering Dal. It's not his fault Sandy would cheat on you." Johnny said. My face went white, but I also felt this sudden rage of anger inside me.

"Watch your mouth Johnnycake. Sandy ain't a tramp like Sylvia." I couldn't believe I said that. But I didn't bother to look at Dal. This was my first argument with Johnny; my best friend.

"Why don't you shut your trap! You can't go siding with Soda even if he is your brother. Dallas is just speaking the truth." Johnny was actually sticking up for Dallas.

"Ponyboy, shut up. I can handle this argument with Dallas on my own." Soda said. I was helping Soda and now he is telling me to shut up, what kind of brother does that! I was pissed off.

"I'm sticking up for you! Maybe Sandy did cheat on you! With the attitude you're giving me, and the attitude you probably gave her too!" I was fighting with my brother now, this is unreal. Soda was now just a few inches away from me, just how he was with Dally. I pushed him to back off and then he pushed me harder. I fell on Johnny and then he pushed me too, I felt like a tether ball.

"Johnny I don't need your pity either!" Dallas said finally butting into the conversation. Johnny couldn't take it anymore he just left the house in a hurry. Then Dallas smacked his forehead and cussed us out before leaving the house too. Two-Bit then got up and had an angry look on his face, he was heading out the door as well.

"What's wrong with you?" Soda asked sitting at the dinner table again. Two-Bit stopped in his tracks and turned to face us.

"First off, you start talking shit about my "blondes" and second I can barely watch the t.v. with all of the arguing that is going on." After his little speech, Two-Bit turned around and hurried out the door. Soda shook his head at Two-Bit's stupidity. I stood in front of the kitchen's entrance trying to grasp all that happened. Then Soda roughly got up from where he sat, he actually knocked down the chair when he got up. He walked into the kitchen, pushed me aside, and headed towards our room. I was too pissed off at him and at everyone to sleep in the same room as him so I decided to sleep on the couch. I hoped everything would turn back to normal in the morning but what was I in for a surprise…
