"Hey Johnny!" I holler as I approach the bleachers by the track. He turns his head as he leans against the fence. I grin and lean against the fence next to him. I watch as the practice races, and other activities commence, talking up a storm to Johnny as he just listens occasionally nodding. Finally PonyBoy approaches us "Alright you guys ready to go play some FootBall?" I nod as does Johnny and we follow PonyBoy towards the Lot. I yawn and stretch. PonyBoy looks back "What, you tired?" I smile and nod "Yeah, I didn't get much sleep last night."
He doesn't question me on that and I'm glad. Truth is, I had snuck out of the house last night to go to the park and had stayed out till about 4'O clock. "You want to play FootBall with us or just sit to the side, it get's awfully ruff" Johnny says as he waves to some other boys on the lot. I nod "I'll play." PonyBoy grins "Well those are my brothers Darryl (I don't know if that's the right spelling I can't find my outsiders book) and that's SodaPop, that over there is Soda's bestfriend Steve Randall." I nod politely.
Dallas grins devilishly "What, you invitin' that Soc to come play football?" I grin right back "Yeah he invited a Soc to come play football, just cuz' I'm a girl don't mean I don't know how to play." Dallas steps forward "I bet you couldn't land a punch let alone catch a football." Almost all the boys step forward, Darryl Speaks first "Dallas that's enough." I step up too "No it's alright you guys, I except his challenge." They all turn shocked eyes on me.
Two-bit slaps his thigh "Well if she ain't the bravest Soc I ever met, Welcome to the group Two-Cent." I just grin "I play receiver (I have no spell checker, deal with it, that is if it's spelled wrong)." They agree. It's Dallas's team Vs. Darryl's team. I'm on Dallas's Team. Of course since I'm a girl everyone is afraid to tackle me, I intercept the ball almost everytime it's thrown by the opposing team and make touchdown's becuase of it.
I grin as I jump on PonyBoy's back and he laughs and tries to pull me off. I grip a little tighter around his neck and say "I'm not lettin' go." He grins and reaches around tickling me. I shriek and let go. PonyBoy pins me and begins to tickle me relentlessly "Holler Uncle!" He says and I just continue to laugh "Never!" I yell as I dive up and tackle him and begin to tickle him. He tries to get away until finally i'm pulled up and off by Dallas. "Whoa!" I flail in his arms and kick a bit when he throws me over a shoulder, Johnny and PonyBoy laugh at me. I scowl at the two and begin to yell at Dallas. He passes me off to Two-Bit, my eye's grow wide "Come on Two-Bit put me down, please?" He grins. I begin to sputter obcenities (Spelling checker gone bye-bye) "Keith Mathews if you dump me in water like I think your going to, I'm going to severly hurt you, these are the only clothes I have on me and if I go home wet I'm gonna be punished for a month, that means I won't be fed either!" I yell. I'm put down to see them all looking at me quizically. I shrug "I'm not supposed to eat breakfast this morning but I had a granola bar and I'm not supposed to have dinner either but i'm goin' to the Dairy Queen with you guys, I'll just tell my parents I stayed after at school to study, not like they'll care none."
Steve looks over "You mean you Soc families actually have problems?" I nod "I'm there problem they wanted one kid, they got two, so they treat me bad." Two-Bit scowls "That ain't right, you come by PonyBoy's any time you like and come eat chocolate cake with all of us ya hear?" I smile and nod "Thanks Two-Bit." He throws his arm about my shoulders "So you comin' to the Dairy Queen with us?" I nod "PonyBoy already invited me." He sighs "About time Pony, finally an interest in girls." PonyBoy's whole face turns red "Ah come off it Two-Bit, I don't like her or nothin'."
I spot Randy's car comin' down the street "Uh-oh" I say as I push Two-Bit's arm off my shoulder the car comes to a stop next to us. Luckily it's only Randy inside and not my sister. He rolls the window down "Skye what the hell are you doing?" I shrug "I'm hangin' out." He scowls "Your families worried about you, get in the car, let's go." I shake my head, "No Randy, I'm not goin' home yet, tell my parents I stayed after at school or somethin' don't tell them I was here." I give him a pleading look. He sighs "Fine I won't tell them," He looks at the boys "If any of you so much as looks at her funny I'll beat the tar outtaf ya."
They all nod, even Dallas, Tim, and Darryl. I sigh "Alright they've been warned, go already." He rolls up the window and takes off down the street. Steve looks over "That your sister's boyfriend?" I nod "Poor guy still thinks she's a virgin, but she gave that up when she was 14 now she's 17." Dallas slams his hands down on the hood of buck's car "Alright, find out the seating arrangment." I grin bouncing over "Tim in the front, Dallas you drive, Two-Bit, PonyBoy, Johnny you three sit in the back, I'll change laps until I'm content." The boys laugh.
At the Dairy Queen
Dallas looks over at me "Let me guess, you want some complex twist of ice cream flavors and a peice of pizza with everything on it." I shake my head "No I want a soft vanilla in a cone, the cup like one not the pointy hard one, and a hotdog, oh and a coke." Dallas grins "So what ya want on that hotdog?" I put my pointer finger to my chin "Relish, barbeque sauce and mustard." I go and sit at the table with Johnny, PonyBoy and Two-Bit as Dallas and Tim get the food. I plop down next to Johnny. I steeple my fingers and raise an eyebrow. Two-Bit laughs "I picked a fine protegee, she can raise her eyebrow."
I grin and turn to Johnny "So Johnny, how's life?" He shrugs "It's ok, I guess." I nod, "MmmHmm... and how does that make you feel?" He looks at me quizzically. I just smile sweetly "So, does this mean you can forgive it or let the hate continue?" I raise my eyebrow again. He just blinks. "And Two-Bit how do you think of this?" Two-Bit grins "Oh well I guess, I just feel alittle misunderstood, Miss. Physchiatrist, how can I help myself feel wanted." I nod as if I understand "Well first, you must stand on your head for an hour each night before you go to bed, then you must eat until you get fat then go out and meet a nice girl who excepts you for who you are and then loose lots of weight." They all laugh.
