I wrote this in Ponyboy's point of view, I think we needed to see another side. Read and Review please, well actually you already are reading so please review.

"Sorry," she said again

"Can't you say anything else?" I stared at her waiting for an answer, "Can you speak at all?"

"Sorry," she told me again. "Sor- I mean, yeah, I can."

He laughed, "You're funny." She blushed a little bit and I looked at the ground. "Are you okay?" I looked up at her, her face was even more red, "Hello?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," She blurted out. I gave her a quizzical look, the more I looked at her she blushed even darker.

"What's your name?" I asked her.

"My name? Oh-" She got cut off.

"Mia!" Some girl was running towards us. "Mia, are you okay?" She looked about 16. She came panting over to us and fell on the ground, completely oblivious to me.

"Yes, Lissa," I could hear a little annoyance in Mia's- was that her name?- voice.

"Mia, is that your name?" I asked.

"Yeah Mia," she said. "This is my sister Lissa."

"Hey, my name is Ponyboy or Pony for short," I told them. "I've never seen you around, are you homeschooled or something?"

"Uh. . . No, we kinda just ran away to our father," Mia stated

"Mia, let's get back to the house to see our father." Lissa got up and held out a hand.

"I am not going back to that wicked stepmother. After seeing her, I am pretty sure our mom is nice, that is saying a lot," Mia didn't get up.

"Oh come on. She can't be as bad as Johnny's parents. For some reason they hate Johnny," I stated.

"I think we can survive if our brother has all these years. You and I both know we could take on Steve together and he survived," Lissa stated.

"Wait! Steve, as in Steve Randle?" I was beyond confused, was it the Steve I knew. Certainly not.

"Yeah, you know him? Almost everyone we ran into knows him, if we hadn't ran into Darry, I am pretty sure we would've found him anyways," Mia said.

"Darry, what?" I felt my eyes grow huge. Had they really talked to my brother? Why hadn't Darry told me? I was just at home and didn't see them.

"Yeah, why?" Lissa asked, looking confused

"That's my brother. Small world I guess," I said. Now Mia looked confused, looking me over for clues to see if it really was true, I guess.

"Okay, well we must get going to see our father" Lissa helped Mia up and they walked away.

I stayed there in daze for quite a while. Steve has two sisters? What? When did this happen? I would think I would know because Steve is best friends with Soda. True he doesn't like me that much, but still. Who would've thought that?-

Someone was shaking me. "Pony are you okay?" Johnny was shaking me.

"Yeah, just lost in very deep thought," I told Johnny.

"About what?" Asked Johnny. I told him what happened, I left out the part of her blushing. Did she like me or something?

"Shall we go?"

"Go where?" I asked.

"To Steve's to see if it's true."

"Oh. . . That place, sure," I said. "Let's go." Me and Johnny got up and headed to Steve's.

Sorry for yet another short chapter. I have to get the beginning set up good for me so I can get the good ending I want. Thank you for reading, review please.
