Chapter 3
I looked up to see a teenager about Soda's age. He had a devilish grin on his face and a big nose.
"Hey there Sodapop!" he called out. Soda responded by tackling his friend, and they both tumbled to the ground, nearly rolling over me in the process.
"Well you didn't tell me you had a dog, Soda!" his friend exclaimed.
"Well Steve, Dally just found her, and Darry helped me fix her up. Her name is Shadow."
Steve immediately got a sour look on his face. "Oh… it's a girl." He said, disappointed.
"Yea, so?" Soda responded. Steve just shook his head and strolled into the kitchen.
The front door opened again, and I saw a small dark haired boy. He reminded me of myself, small and dark and lonely. He walked inside, and Ponyboy and Dally grinned at him.
"Hey Johnny." said Dally.
"Hey Dal, how ya doin'?" Johnny said quietly.
"Same as always, we found a mutt on the streets. Named it Shadow. Dally gave me a glance and even a small smile, but it quickly became a scowl when he realized what he was doing.
"Fuckin' thing won't get away from me ever since I saved its life." He muttered. "I wish it would stop looking at me so much, it creeps me out man…"
"Aww c'mon Dally, its pretty cute." Johnny said with a smile.
I wished that Dally would like me more, or at least show it if he did. I had already decided who I liked in the gang and who I didn't. So far my favorites were Dally, for saving me, Soda, for being really nice to me and giving me attention, and Johnny, because he was a lot like me and never ignored me. I didn't enjoy Ponyboy and Steve as much. Both of them didn't really pay attention to me most of the time.
The gang continued to talk about who was in jail and make fun of Socs and other stuff. I settled down with my head in Soda's lap. Johnny was gently stroking my back, and I finally fell asleep.
I hope everyone likes it so far, please review! In the next chapter Darry and Two-Bit will be there. If anyone has any ideas for next chapter feel free to tell me :)
