I woke up early in the morning to get dressed and read outside.I put on jeans, white t-shirt, put my brown hair in a ponytail, and put a red bandana around my head like a headband. As I looked in the mirror, I looked real hard at my eyes. They are a blueish gray color. I wonder if I was really related to Soda, Darry,and Ponyboy.
" I'm being silly." I thought.
I grabbed my book and rushed outside to read. An hour or so later I saw Soda,Steve,and Darry come out of their house and rush to a old blue rusted truck.
"Hey you guys going to work?"
"Yeah. If you come by the DX station we'll get you a coke." Steve answered.
"Pony's inside if you want someone to talk to." Soda said.
"I'll go see him."
They drove off as I jumped off my porch steps rushing to the iron wire gate. I pushed the door open and walked right in.
" Hey anyone home?"
"In here."
Pony was doing dishes in the kitchen, I sat down on the counter and watched him clean them.
" What's it like living with your brothers all the time?"
"Well me and Soda get along real well."
He stopped for a second and I could tell he was trying to figure out what to say next.
" And me and Darry well we don't get along so well."
" How come?"
" I don't know. He just yells at me for everything I do."
"Oh."
A couple minutes passed before I asked
" How did Johnny get his scar? Was it from a fight or something."
" Some socs jumped him. The scar is from one of the soc's rings."
" He sure has it rough, don't he?"
" Yah. His parents yell at him even beat him up sometimes too."
" Poor kid."
I looked at the clock.
" I got to be getting home. My fake dad will be wondering where in the world I am. Have fun at the movies. See yah."
" See you later."
I walked back across the street thinking about going to the movies.
