Ponyboy:
I woke up earlier than I usually; I missed the sunrise though I was a bit upset. I completely forgot that Delia was in our house. I went to the kitchen and started cooking eggs. Shortly Delia walked in the kitchen.
"Hey Ponyboy." Delia said smiling.
I nearly dropped my spoon.
Delia laughed "Calm down Ponyboy! It's just me!" She said laughing.
"Don't scare me like that!" I scolded her.
"Sorry" she said punching me in the shoulder.
"Do you want eggs?" I ask trying to sound nice.
"Got anything else?"
"Yeah uh, chocolate cake."
She looked at me funny and shrugged "Yeah sure I'll have chocolate cake."
I opened the ice-box and placed the cake on the counter "Don't eat it all or Steve will kill you." She just laughed and cut herself a piece and put it back in the ice-box. We both sat at the table and ate. Wanting to break the silence I asked her a question. "So what's New York like?"
She stopped eating "Well it's big… and it's rough. People seem to end up in the hospital every day. The upper class is just getting worse and my closest friend just got killed by a upper class. I am always getting' hauled in to the station." She looks down at her cake.
"That stinks." I reply and she just shrugs.
"So what's Dallas like? It's been so long since I've talked to him."
I don't know what to say I don't want her to hate him "Well… Whenever there is a crime he gets pulled in by the fuzz; he is always pickin' fights and getting' into trouble." Delia just nods and looks around.
"I remember he got arrested at age ten." Delia says with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"Yeah, I think I remembering him sayin' somethin' about that."
Soda walked out of the bathroom, I didn't even notice him get breakfast. Steve and Two-Bit came in shovin' each other. Steve grabbed the chocolate cake and Two-Bit turned on the T.V. Steve and Soda were waiting for Darry to leave so they could get a ride with him. Soda was also trying to do the dishes but Steve made that nearly impossible.
"Ponyboy" Darry said waving me over.
"Yeah" I said walking over towards Darry.
"Keep Delia out of trouble, use your head and listen to Dally."
"Do what Dally says!?" I say raising my eye-brows.
"Just do it!" Darry said messing up my hair. He smiled "Hurry up Soda! You're gunna be late, then I'm gunna be late, then I'm gunna skin you. Soda and Steve ran out the door, Steve with two pieces of chocolate cake in his hand. Two-Bit remained glued to the T.V. So I started doing the dishes and Delia helped a little bit.
