"So Angela what are you doing here?" I looked at the girl sitting by me.

"I was at home went Tim and Curly came in. They told me that you were taking on three at a time and I wanted to see how you were. You have quite a few cuts. I think you should clean them up."

"I'm fine. Thanks for coming and you don't have to worry about the cuts Darry will jump me as soon as walk in the door." She giggled at the last part. "I'm glad you find my life funny."

"You're welcome." Most girls would have said sorry but no Angela.

"So how are you?"

"I'm better now."

"Why?"

"I have something to tell you."

"Yes?"

"Let's just say me and three of my friends ran into Alexis. I think she's going to have a fun time at her practice on Monday."

"You didn't have to do that Angela."

"Are mad that I did?" Mad no way because I can't hit a girl.

"No."

"That's good because I don't regret it. She shouldn't have hurt you."

"Yea I guess."

"Ponyboy Curtis you did nothing to deserve to be treated like that!"

"Okay Angela. I have to get home soon. Do Tim and Curly know you're here?"

"No."

"I'll walk you home."

"I don't want you to get in trouble." I got up and put a hand out to her and she took it.

"Don't worry about me. If something happened to you while you were coming from seeing me then your brothers would kill me."

"No my brothers like you." We started our walk to the Shepherds. We talked about our family, school and other stuff.

"Pony?"

"Yea?"

"Would you get mad if I came to your game on Friday?"

"No anyone can go."

"Okay I'll see you there."

We arrived at her house to find Tim and Curly on the porch. They stood up when we came into view.

"There you are." Tim said as he walked over to us.

"Well when you told me about Pony I wanted to make sure he was okay."

"Okay. Pony thanks for walking Angela home."

"No problem. I didn't want anything to happen on her way home just because she came to check on me. Well I better get going before Darry has a fit."

"Alright Pony. Go job tonight."

"Thanks Tim. Bye Tim, Curly, and Angela."

"Bye"

I walked back to my house. The lights were on and I walked throw the door. The gang was lounging out in the living.

"'Bout time you got here." Steve said.

"What did Angela want?" Johnny asked and the rest of the gang had an shocked expression on their face. He must have not told them.

"Pony sit in the arm chair so I can clean you up."

"Okay Darry." I sat down and he came over with a bottle of alcohol and cotton balls. Darry started to clean up my face.

"What were you and Angela Shepherd doing?" Leave it to good ole Steve to bring it up.

"She came over to the lot where me and Johnny were. After Johnny left, she asked me if I was okay. Then she said that she ran into Alexis and she would be sore on Monday for practice. Then I asked if her brothers knew where she was and since they didn't I walked her home. That way she wouldn't get jumped."

"Did Tim see you walk her home?" Two-Bit asked

"Yeah, he and Curly were on the porch. They thanked me and then I left."

"Cool."

There was a knock on the door and Dally opened it.

"What in the world to think you're doing here?" he yelled.

"Who is it Dal?"

"Well Steve it's that no good broad." I looked at Dally and he nodded. Soda went to the door.

"He doesn't want to see you. So you better just get away from here." I stood up and made my way over to the door. A cop pulled up in front of our house.

"You're Alexis right?" She nodded. He looked at all of us. "Who's Ponyboy?"

"I am." Alexis nodded. The cop stepped toward me.

"Ponyboy you have the right to remain silence anything may and will be held against you in a court of law…" He continued but I wasn't listening as he put me in the back on his car. We drove away with me in the back of the car. The gang were all standing on the porch and Alexis had left when I got arrested. But wait why am I getting arrested?

"Can I ask you something?"

"I guess you could but that depends on what you want." He said in his cruelest tone.

"Why am I getting arrested?"

"Like you don't know. But I'll tell you anyway for assault."

"What on who?"

"Your ex-girlfriend."

"But I never hit her."

"Likely story. I've had enough trouble with boys on your side of town." We arrived at the station. I had gotten my picture taken, finger printed and then thrown in a cell. The cell held four other greasers. They all looked tough but not as tough as Dally but I didn't say anything knowing that nothing good would come from it.

"Curtis phone call." The cop that had did my prints came over and unlocked the cell. I had only been here thirty minutes but that felt like forever. He led me to the phone.

"Hello?"

"Kid what in the world is going on? What did you do?"

"Dally man It's good to hear you. Alexis told the cops that I'm the one who hit her."

"Well who did because I know you wouldn't?"

"The person I was with tonight."

"Angela?"

"Yea and friends."

"Gosh listen I'll see what I can do kid."

"Okay. I'll be fine." The cop pointed toward the clock on his wrist. I knew that soon I would to be questioned and I was thinking back to all my history classes. "I got to go Dal."

"Take care Pony. The guys are worried and I'm going head over to Shepherds."

I hung up the phone and the cop lead me to a room with two chairs.

"Have a seat Ponyboy."

I took a seat and he sat across the table from me.

"I guess you know why you're here."

"Yea I heard but I didn't do it."

"Why would Alexis lie? She has bruises to prove it."

"I took her out to lunch earlier and then she told me that she only went out with me because I'm on the football team. Then after I went home, she came over and told me that she had been cheating on me. Then she left. I hadn't seen her since, until she came up with you guys."

"I would like to believe you but I've always had trouble with you greasers." Man what a night and it's not even over yet.

I just thought that Alexis should try to get revenge. Will it work and Pony go to jail or be set free? What about the State what will they do.? Please review. I never thought that I would make it to chapter 25.
