Ponyboy's POV

I groaned as I woke up and saw Soda laughing with Steve at what he did. I tiredly rubbed my eyes and realized that Steve shoved me off of my bed. Why on earth is Soda laughing though? Shouldn't he be pissed off at Steve? What on earth is going on? Two-bit smiles at me as soon as I stand up he shoves me down again.

I groaned and he said "But, Pone! Your forehead says Shove Me and that's what I exactly did! I shoved you!"

I just glared at the trio in my room and stood up and push past them into my bathroom and wash off the stupid phrase on my forehead. I scrubbed the phrase off of my forehead and brush my teeth and take a shower and pull on my jogging clothes.

I walked out of my room into the kitchen just to see Darry reading the newspaper. Gosh, he is here? It's Sunday shouldn't he be working today? Now he is gonna chew me out for waking up so late. He just loves to lecture me for no damn reason.

I rolled my eyes and walked towards the fridge and grabbed my cold water bottle and closed the fridge and walk out of the kitchen but Darry yells "Ponyboy!"

Here he goes, I looked at him and gave him a nod, letting him know that I was actually paying attention to him. He said "What did Steve do to you?"

I shrugged and gave him another nod towards the kitchen's exist and he sighs and said "Fine, but be back home by 8 am since it is 7 am."

I frustratedly said "You got to be kidding me!"

He said "That's what you get for not waking up early young man and now this discussion is over."

I just glared at him and just walk out of the kitchen. I pushed past Soda and he grabs my wrist and said "Pone...You okay?"

I just glared at him and then at his hand latched onto my wrist and back at his face hoping he would understand. Sadly, he doesn't, so I pull away from him and just run out of the house.

I hate this. I hate the fact that Darry doesn't love me. I hate the fact that Soda loves his best friend more than me. I hate the fact that I can't be a Greaser or a Soc or a Middler. Hell, it's like I am a mixture of all three. I have a temper of a Soc, money like a Greaser and attitude like a Middler.

I shook my head and kept jogging. I hate this lifestyle. I groaned as I heard someone yell out my name. I turned around to see Two-bit.

I shook my head and face forward and continue to jog. Two-bit finally catches up and said "Damn Pony, didn't know you were this fast. You should try out for the Olympics, you sure will get the Gold Medal for America."

I smirked at that thought and said "Yeah right Two-bit."

He chuckles and said "So...Your brothers are worried about your lack of communication...So...You aight?"

I rolled my eyes and said "Why wouldn't I be alright?"

He said "Maybe because you haven't been talking for the past two days!"

I said "Just don't feel like it...Any problem with that?"

He sighs and said "Hell even Johnnycakes is worried about you."

I sighed and said "I just don't wanna talk...Okay?"

He sighs and nod as we continue to jog together. I just don't wanna tell them the real reason for why I am not talking...I am just nervous for the Tournament this year. I can't loose it again to Jules Martin. He won it last year and then his group of friends decided to hurt me so after getting hs medal he beat the crap outta me. Stupid Soc why don't they use their brains?

I said "Two, what time is it?"

He smirked and answered me "Time for you to get a watch! Ohhhhh."

I chuckled and said "Time for you to get a new joke."

He opens his mouth and then shuts up and said "Damn it Pony, that was a good one."

I rolled my eyes and said "Yeah whatever...Lets go back home or Darrel Jr. will chew us out. Hell, he will chew me out."

Two bit got a bit angry and said "What did you call your brother?"

I said "Darrel Jr. That's his name Two."

He said "Show your brother some respect...You ungrateful brat."

I gritted my teeth and said "Leave. Me. Alone."

He suddenly looked sorry for me and just jogs off back home.

I should just run off. Stupid Greaser. Stupid Soc. Stupid Life.
