Ponyboys POV
I start school today and im as nervous as ever, my hands are shaking so much that I dropped my cup of water this morning. Soda keeps reassuring me and Darry pats my shoulder gently, but I don't think it did any good. Were in the car right now driving to school I have my knees pulled up to my chest and im nervously glancing out the window. I can hear Soda and Darry talking in the front seat but im not paying attention to the conversation. I think I heard my name mentioned a few times though, but im not sure. I dug my nails into my boney legs as I saw the school come into view. It was a big school. Too big for me. There were groups of kids gathered outside, you could easily tell the difference between the groups of kids. The kids that I've known to be socs were standing in one group, ignoring the greasers like myself which were gathered on the other side. I sat on my knees and glared out the small back window, Soda whispered something to Darry but I didn't catch it.
"C'mon Ponyboy, let's go in"Darry said patting my back
"I don't wanna go"I said without turning around
"you have to Pony, your well enough to be in school now, you have to learn"he said
I still didnt want to go.
Sodapops POV
I looked at Ponyboys back, noticing that his spine showed clearly through his shirt, I looked at the back of his head. His hair had gotten a bit longer and it was a bit messy, we had forgotten to grease his hair back.
"Ponyboy turn around and listen to me"Darry said
Pony reluctancy turned around and huddled up in a ball in the back seat, his knees pulled close to his chest.
As Darry tried to persuade Pony out of the car I watched my baby brother, I loved him so much. He was wearing one of my old jean jackets with the sleeves cut off and he was wearing one of his own dirty and ripped jeans. It wad a big difference from the sweatshirts and sweat pants that he had been wearing around the house. Because this outfit showed of his skinny legs and boney arms, I really hoped he started gaining weight soon. He was a good looking kid, I have to say that about my brother, a little on the skinny side right now but still a good looking kid. His green eyes searched my face for me to excuse him so he wont have to go to school, I wish I could help the kid out.
"Sorry Ponyboy, your going" I said softly
"are you guys gonna stay with me?"he asked
"sorry bud, were only walking you in but after that were gonna have to go"Darry answered patting Ponys knee
"besides Two-bit and Ste.. Well Johnny will be there, they'll keep an eye on you"I reassured him, at least he'll know some people
Ponyboy finally nodded and I opened the back door for him so he could climb out, he first stuck his head out nervously then pulled it back inside and stuck his small legs out. We walked up to the school, Pony clung onto me as I led him to the doors, Darry walked stiffly.
"Why are they all staring at me?"Ponyboy said barley over a whisper
I just squeezed his arm, I was guessing the whole school knew about Ponyboys condition by now.
"Hey Soda!"I heard a few shouts from the crowds, mostly girls, but I ignored them
We finally ended the long walk up to the school through the stares that I knew were probably digging into Ponyboy and entered the building. There were more kids inside but we quickly swept past them and took cover from the stares In the office. Curly Shepard and Johnny were waiting in there like they said they would be and came up to us.
"Ponyboy this is Curly Shepard, he's one of your friends" I said motioning to Curly
"and you remember Johnny"Darry added
"what's up Pony?"Johnny said
Pony shrugged his shoulders
"well Pony we gotta go to work, see you right after we get off"Darry and I said our goodbyes and gave Pony one last hug
Ponyboys POV
I watched Darry and Sodapop leave through the front doors and couldn't wait till I could do the same. Curly was a big guy for someone our age, I hated being in school already, I didn't like being surrounded by people I don't know and that's what this school is absolutely full of. I moved closer to Johnny and he seemed to get the hint that I was pretty uncomfortable here.
"It's alright man"he said
Then a loud bell sounded, causing me to jump five feet in the air, which made Curly laugh a little, soon the hallway came alive with the buzzing of students.
"C'mon man let's get to class"Johnny said pulling my jacket
"am I in the same classes with you?"I asked afraid that I wasn't
"yeah don't worry man today is gonna be fine"I relaxed a little after that and followed Johnny and Curly to our first period class
I took my seat next to Johnny in the back row and pulled my knees up to my chest, it made me feel safer.
"Welcome back Ponyboy"this lady teacher greeted me, I really wish she hadn't because that caused the whole class to turn and look at me
"I understand that you've had an accident, are you alright?"I don't think she meant any harm, but she was sure bugging me
"im fine"my voice squeaked
"im Ms. Parker by the way"she added
"why wouldn't he know who she is?"I heard a clueless classmate ask
"because he lost his memory idiot"another called out
"Really?"the boy asked out amazed
I wanted to crawl under a rock and never come back out.
"What happened!"the curious and very annoying student wondered out loud
"for those of you who do not know what happened to Ponyboy, I will inform you that he was a victim of a drunk driver. He got in an accident which caused him to temporarily lose his memory"the teacher so kindly explained to the exasperated student
I wanted to kill both of them.
Johnny kept sending nervous glances toward me and I started shaking, I hated all those eyes staring at me.
"Jesus are you alright man! So you like don't remember anything? Not even your brothers or anything?"the still curious classmate asked
I thought I was gonna start hyperventilating
"will you shut the hell up Kyle? The kids already nervous enough being in a room full of people he doesn't know, he doesn't need to shooting questions at him either"That kid Curly said standing up and defending me
I let out a sigh as classmates started to face the front again
"and you should have never started"Curly said to Ms. Parker, I wasn't expecting that one
The teacher shut up after that and the teachers for the next four periods decided to act like I didn't exist, which didn't bother me. When lunch finally came around at 6th period, I was more than relieved. I walked with Curly and Johnny to lunch but we were stopped in the hallway by some socs, football star socs.
"Hey no brain"they started to tease
one of them pushed me in the locker chanting "scatterbrained dweeb"
"cut it out!"Curly shouted
"and what are you going to do about it?"
Curlys' fists tightened.
Suspense much?
