Chapter 8 - My First Day

** Ponyboy's POV**

I lied on my new bed, in my new room. Well it really wasn't mine, I had to share it with 5 other guys. I already unpacked half of my things and didn't feel like packing the rest yet. I wanted to smoke but didn't know how I could without Peter or any other adults seeing me. Peter took half my packs, I was able to hid some from him in my pockets. I'll just die when I run out of them. Sure I try not to smoke, I knew it can kill you but I couldn't stop. I was sure an addict. Besides, smoking calms my nerves; keeps me relaxed. I started to get bored so I decided to start unpacking the rest of my things. I shoved things in my pack; my clothes not folded, threw my books in, and other common objects. As I was taking out some books I stopped dead still on one book. Gone With The Wind. I didn't remember putting that in my bag. I never finished reading the book and wasn't planning on to, I just kept it. I tried to give it away tons of times; it reminded me of too many things. But just something stopped me. I hated looking at it; it made me think of Johnny. My best friend, who I killed. I should have been the one to die..........

" Ponyboy? You ok?" A voice said behind me. It was Peter. I dropped the book back in the bag.

" Uh yeah I'm just fine" I said. Peter didn't seem to believe me.

" Ok. Well when your done you can head to the cafeteria, Do you think you can find it? It is right across the girls dorm" I nodded my head.

" Great. Then we have group, were you can meet the rest of the cliffhangers" I didn't say anything. I didn't care about anyone of these peoples. I didn't want to meet any of them. I closed my bag and decided to unpack my things later. Just then a couple of boys walked in the room.

" Your stupid Auggie, I can't believe you did that!" Some boy with blonde hair said. They stopped their conversation and looked at me.

" Hey, you must be one of the newbies" The boy with blonde hair said. I didn't say anything.

" That's interesting" Auggie said sacarstic. " What's your name?"

" Ponyboy" I said trying to sound tuff. The blonde hair kid and Auggie looked at eachother and started laughing out loud.

" No serious man, your REAL name" I started to get mad. I hated when people mad fun of my name.

" It is my REAL name!" I snapped. They started laughing again. I got off the bed.

" Do you guys have a problem with my name?"

" n......no man" Auggie said but was still laughing. I wasn't going to take there jokes, no one made fun of my name........I pushed Auggie into the door hard. It was silent.

" Is there a problem with my name?" I asked again. He was older than me, I could tell but I knew I can take himon. I can take any of these people on. Auggie looked like he was trying to calm down his anger; balling up his fists tightly. That reminded me of Darry.

" Auggie don't kill him on his first day" The blonde hair kid said. These people were already getting on my nerves. I had the urge to punch both of them.

" Assholes............." I muttered while making my way through the door.
