Chapter 12- Locked In The DX

The whole time walking to the DX I felt someone watching us. I looked back so many times, I started to get Ponyboy to believe there was someone watching us. We were almost at the DX.

" Dally hates me,Ponyboy." I said all of a sudden.

" No he doesn't Angel, he was just upset that you told Darry the truth when he was gonna take the blame. You know how Dally is, he will probably get over it." I looked at my twin brother and smiled. Ponyboy will always be the same brother I have forever. We where finally at the DX. Sodapop was under a car working on it and Steve was sitting on top of the hood smoking a cigarette. When Steve saw us coming he kicked the car so Sodapop will come out from under.

" What is it Steve?" Sodapop said wiping his hands on a white cloth, or what is left of the white color, it has spots on it from oil.

" Troublemaker and Pony are here." Steve said looked at our directions. I can tell Steve was still mad that I got yelled at Sodapop and Darry last night.

" Hey Soda." Ponyboy said. It was quiet for a while.

" What are you guys doing here, you guys are suppose to be in your room." Sodapop said slowly. I had to think of a lie fast.

" uh.Darry had to go to work so he told us to come here so you can ground us here." I said quickly. They didn't believe me.

" Yeah right, you guys probably sneaked out or better yet Angel, you probably bought Ponyboy out of the house to slash more tires." Steve said. I felt anger come through my body.

"Steve!" Sodapop yelled.

"Oh come on Sodapop you know she deserves to be yelled out or hit for what she did last night, are you just gonna let her getting away for almost getting killed by Tim, and yelling at you and Darry." It was silent. What the hell was wrong with Steve? He acted anger toward me before but not like this. I felt a tear run down my cheek. I started to walk away from the DX.

" Angel Curtis where are you going?" Sodapop yelled. I ignored him. Just then I felt someone's arms grabbing me. I screamed thinking it was Tim or Curly but instead it was Sodapop and Steve.

" What in the hell do you think your doing? Let me the fuck go now!" I screamed. They pushed me into the DX store and locked it.

"Your not going to go out there and get hurt like you did yesterday so we are gonna do what Darry so-called told us to do, and ground you here." Sodapop said. This isn't like Sodapop. I started to pound on the glass door but later it became no use. Later someone was opening the door, I was sitting on the counter looking at the ceiling. I didn't bother looking to see who it is.

" Angel Ashley Curtis!" It was Darry.
