Ch. 6.
Hayden's P.O.V.
It's been about two months since I got home from the hospital. Just in time for track. Me and Ponyboy has been running every mourning and after noon getting ready for the big track meet against our rival school. I was in great shape and I've finally got to the point where my lung doesn't hurt when I run now. It was 9 a.m. and Pony and I was getting ready to go run through town. I was in my room searching for my sneakers. I couldn't find them anywhere. I was just about ready to yell for Darry, when I remembered he was already gone to work and to drop off Soda and Steve and the DX too. Johnny and Two- Bit was down stairs with Ponyboy, and god knows where Dallys at.
"Has anyone seen my shoes?"
"Yeah there by the back door" Pony yelled back.
I quickly made my way to the dresser and put up my hair in a pony tail. Once I was done with that I ran down stairs and straight into the kitchen. My shoes were right where Pony said they would be. I put them on.
"Ready Pone?" He nodded and headed for the door.
"A... just be careful" Johnny said to us.
"We will." Then we was on our way down the street.
"Shew I should of brought a jacket Pony, I didn't know it was gonna be this cold."
"Well it's the end of October, it's gonna start getting cold." He said as he took off his jacket and handed it to me.
"Thanks, if you get cold just tell me and I'll give it back to ya.... alright"
"Naw I like the cold."
Pretty soon we were close to the DX.
"Do you wanna take a break and go see Sodapop or keep running?" Ponyboy asked?
"Lets take a break and go visit Soda for a bit" He nodded and we raced each other to the door.
"Hey guys." Soda said to us as we made our way inside. He handed up each a cold bottle of water.
"Thanks" We said in unison.
..........................................................................................................................................................................
We left the DX and was on our way throught town.
"Wait." Soda yelled right before we got out of sight. We turned around.
"Here" He ran up to us and handed Pony his Jacket.
"And be careful and watch out for Hayden okay." Soda told Pony. Then went to help a customer.
"I will" He said.
"Shew I get sick and tired of everyone always saying "be careful" or "watch out for her"
"You know what Pone, I can take care of myself" I said a little hateful.
"Oh yeah, then how did you wind up in the hospital two months ago then if you can take care of yourself so good." He said sassy.
I didn't say anything, I just speed up my pace and Pony did the same. Pretty soon we were passing the indoor movie house and there was a bunch of soc's huddled around a blue mustang. As we got closer to them, Pony switched me side so he would be the one passing them and not me.
"A baby need a ride some where?" The red headed one asked me. Pony gave him a mean look.
"Watch your mouth soc." He ignored Pony thank god.
As we passed them I could feel there eye's on my backside. I guess Pony did to because e got behind me to block there view.
"Damn I wish I could have some of that ass." The blond one said. Pony stopped and ran right up to him and punched him right in the face. Before they had time to react I grabed Pony's arm and pulled him away.
"Your gonna pay for that greaser's."
We turned the corner and took a break in a alley.
"Why did you do that Ponyboy? Now we wont be able to go out of the house without some sort of pretection, now if they us they'll beat us for sure." I yelled to him almost out of breath. He was leaning against the alley wall.
"There all mouth, they say stuff like that to get you all wired up, just ignore them."
"It's not that easy to ignore Hayden." He said with his jaw tight. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm sorry but I couldn't stand it."
"It's alright Pony, but now we wont be about to go no where without someone with us. If you piss one soc off, you've pissed them all off. They'll be out to look for us now Pone."
"Come on lets just go home okay"
"Alright lets just hurry and take the short cut."
