Why in the living hell is the little squirt here? Hasn't he caused enough trouble already? I mean, C'MON! I have enough to worry about without this little traitor in my way! Meh....Ah well. I'll be sure to inform Johnny whenever he's free that this little brat is stirring up trouble. *sigh*.......Johnny.......
Peanut's trail of thought was immediately interrupted whenever he happened to notice Lola poking the ever living shit out of Jimmy. Her facial expression seemed to be very angry-or, at least, play angry. Whenever she finally stopped poking him, Hopkins seemed to now be getting his ass chewed out by Norton. Peanut only wished that he knew what was going with the three students, but he was still way too pissed at Lola to even consider walking over to the group.
The coversation eventually ended with Jimmy hoping onto his red racer and pedaling toward New Coventry. Peanut, finally deciding to fill in James' spot in the three, lightly jogged over to Lola and Norton, hoping to get the scoop of what the fuck was going on. Before he could even open his mouth (or rather, before he could even arrive to the spot), Norton looked over to Peanut and walked about three steps forward. "Hey get this!", Norton called out, "The little twerp says he's going to bust Johnny out of the crazy place. Can you believe that shit?".
Peanut stopped dead in his tracks. Before he could even think about making another move, he managed to spit out, " WHAT did ya say, Norton?". Norton, looking as sincere as ever, opened his mouth only to be interrupted by Lola's bitch-toned voice. "He SAID that Jimmy was going to rescue Johnny, you deaf moron!".
I can't believe it....that little squirt Hopkins is actually gonna break Johnny loose! But-but wait a sec, Larry! That little bastard has already betrayed the gang once, what makes you think that he's actually gonna be kind enough to break your leader out of the funny farm? But....what if he actually does break him free? I mean, he's done the Greasers many favors before. Maybe he WILL break Johnny free just so he can prove his loyalty us. Man....if he does bring Johnny back, I could just fucking kiss him. Or, maybe if I'm lucky enough, kiss Johnny...and hold him in my arms since he'll more than likely be heartbroken over Lola..and let him know that I have always loved him and I always will...more than Lola could ever even hope to if she even has any feelings for him at all.
"Yeah, uh huh, bullshit. You know just as well as I do that Jimmy won't do shit. For all we know, he's probably knocking over every single one of our bikes down as we speak!" were the first words to come from Norton's mouth since Lola had taken charge of the news. This immediately caused Peanut's hopes to fall. Norton and Lola both were always good at causing his hopes and dreams to fall. Especially Lola, constantly talking about how Gordo's wang can do that cool trick whenever they hit the hay and not even think about how Johnny would feel if he heard that shit.
Well, at least I'm better at hiding my pain than Ricky is...
After Peanut's mind finally became focused on his surroundings again, he noticed that Lola was gone and that Norton had lit up a Malboro and was about halfway through with it already. "Yo, Nort. Can I ask you something?". Norton moved the cigarette far enough from his mouth to exhale the smoke from within and he turned over to Peanut. "Sure, Nut. Go ahead".
Peanut took a deep breath. "What would you do if Jimmy actually did release Johnny?". Norton started to lightly chuckle as he placed the cigarette back into his mouth. "Peanut, if that brat actually does stay true to his word, then I will dedicate the rest of this school year being his personal bondage slave". Norton then pushed the cigarette away from his mouth again to exhale, but this time he dropped it to the ground and squashed it with his boot.
Afterwards, he walked away from Peanut towards New Coventry, muttering something about washing leather. Peanut turned to watch his friend leave. A twinkle sparkled in his eye as he watched, mind set in a beautiful place of hope. He then lightly chuckled.
Let's just hope you start saving money for a pony harness, ponyboy!
