PONYBOY'S POV
"Son, get out of bed. Your brother's on the phone!"
Thank God. I've been wanting to talk to him for a long time, but I keep forgetting to call him. I wonder what he wanted to talk to me about.
"Ponyboy, he doesn't have all day!"
"Coming!"
I hurried downstairs to get the phone. I wondered why he didn't call my number.
"Hello?"
"Oh hey Ponyboy! Guess who I just talked to!"
I took a wild guess. "The President?"
"Oh my God, how did you ever guess?"
"Haha, very funny. Who?"
"Stephanie Randle!"
"Who?"
"Stephanie, Steve's sister!"
"Oh." I remembered Stephanie. I didn't like her, and she didn't like me. We were always fighting, and she was a real bitch. She was in love with Sodapop, and she kept bitching about how she would never be with him or anything. Then she said she was leaving, and when Soda didn't talk to her she kept finding a way to make him accept it. She was so goddamn annoying!
"Why'd she come?"
"To see Steve."
"After 3 years of not even talking to him?"
"Well they have been talking...through letters."
"Okay whatever. Is that the only reason why you called me?"
"Well....no. Um...actually I called to say that I'm gonna be gone for a while. So I won't be home."
"Where you going?"
"On vacation."
I didn't believe him. I was pretty sure he was off to do something else, but he didn't want to tell me what. I didn't say anything though. "Oh okay. Well I got to go."
"Oh okay. Nice talking to you Ponyboy."
"Yeah same to you."
I hung up. I didn't want to talk to him anymore. I was wondering what he was really off to do. He probably was going to New York to see if he could find Stephanie. I always had a feeling that he liked her. Even when he was with Sandy. He would always have that look that he missed someone, and she was the only person that had left from his life. Well, now they're both out of his life. Sandy for good...maybe. And well Stephanie is coming back in his life. I wish she had never come back. The last 3 years had been good without her.
"Mom, I'm going to the park for a while!"
"Okay, but be back before sundown."
"Okay, bye!"
I walked to the park and sat down on a swing. I sat there and thought of what I could do to prevent something from happening between Stephanie and Soda. Then it dawned on me...I could bring Sandy back! I ran back home.
"Mom!"
"Oh, hey! You're back quite fast."
"Yeah, I know, but only because I want to ask you something."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Uh...can I go to Florida?"
She gave me a smile. "I'm going there tomorrow, for a business trip. You're lucky I'm taking my own personal jet or else I don't think you could've come. Yes, you can come."
"Thanks mom, but um...what part of Florida are you going to?"
"Tallahassee."
"Perfect!"
I went upstairs. I just hope she'll listen to me. I don't know her to well. Well, we'll just have to see tomorrow.
Sorry everyone I took so long to write this chapter. I've been kind of busy lately, but now I'm on winter break so I may be able to get the chapters in faster. Okay well, ttyl, BYE!
