SCENARIO 1:
Why doesn't he get it! Not all greasers are bad; Ponyboy and Johnny are perfect examples of that. My dad thought Ponyboy, Johnny, and Two-bit tried kidnapping us! How crazy is that? Who does he think he is anyway, following me to the movies I was with Bob, Randy, and Marcia? He already told me he doesn't want me to break up with Bob, because he is such a nice boy. Yeah, try telling me he's a nice boy when he's drunk.
Ponyboy is such a nice kid. It really is a shame that we go to the same school, and I can't ever say hi to him. You know it shouldn't be a surprise to me; I have a reputation to uphold. The west side and east side thing never made sense to me. Why can't everyone get along? No fights, no sides, no Greasers, no Socs, no reputations, and most of all everyone just got along. Bob told me once; 'Cherry, it's just not the way things go. Learn that this is the way it's supposed to be, and it won't change.' There was a double meaning to that, I could tell. Bob's parents don't give him rules he could come home completely drunk and they would think it was their fault. If he didn't get good grades his parents would think it was because they didn't push him hard enough, and then make it up to him with new stuff.
Things really are rough all over. West and east side, Johnny with his parents not caring about him, Pony with only his brothers. My dad wouldn't care if they were going to have a rumble in a lot then, a Greaser got killed but if a Soc even got a broken arm he would be really mad. He just doesn't understand that not every Greaser is a bad person. Ponyboy, Johnny, Two-bit, Soda, and Darry seem to dig okay. Darry has to be mom and dad for Pony, and Soda. Pony was telling me that Darry is pushing him to get good grades in school, yelling at him if he is a little late, and never giving him a break about anything.
I bet you any Soc would kill for that, having their parents yell at them for being late. Most Socs could be out all night, and their parents would just think they were at a friend's house spending the night when they prolly are getting drunk. See my dad is in the middle. He doesn't yell at me for every little thing, but if I get home an hour past curfew, id get it. And then like today when he saw me with Greasers, man did I get it. I think he was yelling at me about responsibility for about a half hour.
Greasers aren't all hoodlums! Why cant he just understand, then again it's the same with Ponyboy he thinks all the Socs are like the ones who beat up Johnny. I really hope Bob, and Randy didn't beat up Johnny, 'cause I know they jump Greasers. I really feel bad for Johnny; Pony told me his parents are always fighting and is always over at his house 'cause he can't stand it. All that yelling plus, getting jumped so much that's gotta make a pretty jumpy kid. I noticed that when Johnny stood up to Dally, Dally was very surprised. That made me think that Johnny doesn't do that very often, and he is normally very quiet.
It's time for dinner, I might write more later.
