Chapter 2:

Pony POV:

Later that day Jason and I were sitting in our dorm, when the phone rang.

"Hello?" Jason asked as he picked it up.

"Ponyboy Curtis? Ya one sec, he's right here." Jason said to the receiver before passing it to me.

"Hello?" I asked.

"HEY PONYBOY!" the WHOLE gang and I'm guessing their girls too, screamed.

"hey guys, thanks for making me permanently death." I joked.

"so how's College, Pone?" Soda asked.

"by the way you're on speaker phone." I heard Two-Bit say.

"it's fine I guess, I miss Tulsa though." I told them.

"ya, what do you miss the most?" Soda asked.

"hmmm… either the Dingo or the Nightly Double I guess." I joked.

"ha, ha. Very funny smarty." Soda replied.

"na, it's defiantly you guys."

"have you made any friends?" Soda asked.

"ya, a couple."

"the guy who answered the phone one of them?"

"ya, he's also my roommate." I told them.

"got yourself any girls yet?" Dally asked and I could hear someone slap him across the back of the head.

"ya, I got one." I laughed. And just like on que Maddie, and Jamie came into the room.

"thought we'd study together." Maddie said as she sat by Jason, and Jamie sat by me.

"that her now?" Two-Bit asked me, I was shocked that they'd heard her.

"nope, Maddie is just a friend." I told them.

"suuuuuuuuure, Pone, you believe what you will." Two-Bit joked.

"this is one of the things I don't miss. That's for sure." I laughed.

"so how many of y'all have girls of your own?" I turned the table.

"I got myself a pretty little blonde, her names Sam." Two-Bit said. "Dal and Sylvia are on again, Steve and Evie are still going together, Johnny got himself a pretty brunette called Nancy, Soda got himself a blonde named Katie, and Darry even got himself a brunette called Kayla." He finished.

"that's great. So how many of y'all are betting on how long Dally and Sylvia are gonna be together this time?" I asked, knowing I'd get at least Two-Bit and Steve in trouble.

"no of them, I told them that if I found out any of them were betting they'd be done forever." Dally said, and I laughed.

"come Ponyboy get off the phone already I need help with this English assignment." Maddie complained. English was one of the many subjects we had together.

"just hold on a sec, you sound like a five year old." I joked.

"oh ya? Well I'll show you five year old!" Maddie said as she jumped on me, causing me to drop the phone onto the bed. After a few minutes of wrestling I had forgotten that the guys were still on the line, and I had Maddie pinned down on my bed, with me straddling her waist and holding her hands above her head. I had only known Maddie for a couple of months, but we'd already become really close.

"since when are you good at wrestling?" Maddie asked.

"you're forgetting that I grew up with six guys who loved to wrestle." I laughed.

"HELLO? ANYONE THERE?" I hardly heard Two-Bit say. I got off of Maddie and told the gang that'd I had some homework to get to but that I'd call them later.

"k, just don't forget." Soda warned me.

"never!" I said before hanging up.

"who was that anyway?" Jason asked.

"my brothers and friends from back home." I informed them.

"they're loud, man. When they said 'hey Ponyboy' I could even hear it, and I'm all the way on the other side of the room." Jason stated.

"ya. Try growing up with them." I said.

"are they really that bad?" Jamie asked.

"what? No I didn't mean it like that. They just have a tendency to be louder than usual, is all." I recovered.

"oh, well anyways… I still don't get this English assignment." Maddie saved me.

The rest of the night was spent with the four of us finishing most of our homework and then heading out to a movie.
