Darry's POV
I'm going to kill her brothers. She told me last night she envied my home life, I asked her why and she responded "You care about one another." I now felt bad,she had told me how her parents bought her anything she wanted but she didn't want material things she wanted love, compassion, brother on the other hand could care less about compassion. Lisa still says she's fine though. I made breakfast for everybody eggs and a piece of cake.
Both her and Soda eat there eggs with jelly, how I have no clue. I took a bite of my sandwitch and noticed Pony smiling.I kicked him under the table to knock it off. "Lisa what does pertinacious mean?" Pony asked his mouth full of eggs. "It means stubborn." She answered drink some milk. "So Darry's pertinacious." He said. "Depends on what needs to be done and who's asking." Lisa said smiling. She knew I was wrapped around her finger.
"What if you ask him to do something is he pertinacious then?" Pony asked. "Nope." She said laughing a little. Two bit ran in and ate some of the left over eggs."Well Two Bit's cantankerous."She said. I had no clue what she was calling him neither did Pony. "I'm not in the military stupid." Two Bit said. "Never said you were,Cantankerous means disagreeable, likes to argue."Lisa said adjusting her glasses.
"Pony what book did you get that word from?" She asked."You left it on the table." Pony said handing it to her. Her face went red and she said "Pony let's never read my personal collection of books ever again." I looked over her shoulder and read a was a romance book she was reading, a adult one at that.
Ponyboy's POV
"It's not very appropriate for me to read is it?" I asked seeing her face red. "No not really." She said putting the book back in a box to take home. I pick up a book and started to read it. This book was confusing because one it was about a long time ago and it has vampires in it. "You're getting a head Pony, I didn't have to read that until my senior year." Lisa said. "Dracula, that was confusing I remember our teacher would act it out with this mega geek girl she's probably a sophmore in college by now." Darry said.
Lisa smiled and said "Darry that mega geek girl was me." I laughed and said "Lisa was the geek you would talk about at dinner. "Darry blushed and said "Pony shut up." Lisa smiled and said "Darry I'd like to hear this story Pony continue." I sighed and said "Darry wanted to ask you out but he was afraid it would ruin his rep." Lisa looked away from Darry then said "Well that was younger Darry's loss, older Darry is better any way."
"Life lesson Pony be nice to the geeks you'll be working for one." Lisa said. Darry nudged her in the arm and was about to say something then stopped. "What it's true, Billy Hopkins runs the roofing company you roof for." Lisa said messing up Darry's hair. Darry just laughs. I like how they can just joke around like this. "Lisa do you want to get married some day?" I asked. She looked at me odd and said "Yes but Pony if you're asking you're doing it wrong."
Darry sent me a glare so I laughed and said "But do you want to, no matter what?" Lisa smiled and said "Yes but Pony there's a law you can't marry me." I looked at her odd and said "What law?" She rolled her eyes and pulled out a book and said "Your spouse can not be more then seven years younger than you." I looked at Darry, he was trying to get me to shut up about marriage. "I'm 22 you're 14." She adds going into Darry's arms.
Darry knew she was older than him by 2 years. In an arguement she'd pull out the I'm older than you card to get him to rest.
