I hope y'all like chapter three!
I woke up to two-bit Mathews coming in and slamming the door in the process. He announced his presence by greeting the whole Curtis family even though they were all still in their rooms expect for Mrs. Curtis who was fixing breakfast. I had reply appreciated Mr. And Mrs. Curtis for their hospitality and all they have done for me. They feed me, give me clothes, and care for me as if I was born into their family. The three brother treat me as if I was the fourth brother and we all wrestle and poke fun at each other just the same. I was happy with my new family and friends. I was thankful to know the world might not hate me after all.
About half an hour after two-bit arrived Steve and Johnny walked through the front door and went straight to the kitchen to claim their seats at the table, two-bit soon followed suit. As I was getting up the three Curtis brothers rushed past me each one fighting to get their seats. I walked in after them and found there were no more seats left they all turned to look at me and two-bit started making jokes about me being last so apparently that made me a rotten egg. I just took a seat on a stool at the little island. When Mrs. Curtis was done cooking she walked out and brought all of us a big plate of food and told us how she and Mr. Curtis were going out and we need to behave ourselves. We watched as she walked into the living room and went out the front door with Mr. Curtis following soon after. Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy jumped up and ran to the living room with there plates of food exclaiming about how there mother never allows food out of the kitchen. I looked at Steve two-bit and Johnny who just shrugged their shoulders pick up their plate and walking into the living room I looked down at my plate and picked it up to go join the gang. I walked in and the only spot left was the cushion on the sofa closet to the front door so I took that one. I sat down and realized they were watching Mickey Mouse, I thought about how kids in New York would have beaten me up if they ever found me watching cartoons. For that reason I have never sat down and watched them so I found them kind of boring, I guess I just missed that train. But I was respectful and did not say a word I just kept watching wait to do something. Finally when every one was done eating we all went to sit our plates in the sink and Darry went to his room. After about five minutes Darry came out with shorts and tennis shoes on and in his hand was a football. I looked at every one else and realized they were ready soda, pony and I were the only ones that needed to get ready so we head into the bedroom to change. I was the last one out because I don't wear shorts so I had to find the skinny jeans Mrs. Curtis just bought for me. I walked out in my new jeans and my black high top converse with a dark blue shirt on and a leather jacket. I had my hair greased back like every one else did except Darry who did not have long hair. When I walked out everyone got up and headed for the door. I was the second to last one to walk out with Darry being the last. I kind of hung back from the gang while we walked to an empty lot they apparently used all the time. Darry walked ahead of me but he started to drift away from the gang until he was right beside me. We walked in silence until he finally looked up at me and said "why did you never tell us your really name was Dallas?" We weren't to far behind the gang and I guess they heard because they all stopped and turned around anxious for my answer. I looked at Darry with cold hard eyes and asked him how he knew my name. He told me how he was in the kitchen getting water when he heard the police telling his mom about how they have seen Dallas Winston "dally" walking in and out of the Curtis house. Apparently the fuzz were warning her to keep me out of their house because I had been arrested for a bad crime up in New York. Darry told me about how his mom stuck up for me and told the fuzz thank you but we would not be needing their advice. I was angry for the police for telling Mrs. Curtis but I guess she was not worried about me cause she haven't kicked me out yet. I looked down and whispered "oh". I was worried the gang was going to reject me now that they knew the old me but two-bit and Steve just came up to me and patted me on the back for being arrested. None of them really seemed to care they just continued walking after the conversation was done. Finally after we got to the lot we were all ready to start playing football. The two captions were Darry and Sodapop. Darry got to chose first and he picked two-bit, next soda choose Steve. Two-bit got to choose next since he was chosen and he picked pony. Steve looked at me and he called my name. I walked over to sodas team and stood there realizing Johnny was going to be last picked, and he wasn't going to be on my team. But right after I thought that soda called Johnny's name and he walked over, I looked at soda confused and he explained to me we get an extra player cause Darry was so good. I never told the gang about me playing football but they will soon find out. My team lined up on our line while Darry's team kicked off. I caught the ball and ran for it I made it about were the 65 yard line would be until Darry tackled me. He looked at me happy that he had some good competition. My team had the ball and soda was the quarterback, when he said hike I ran into the in-zone with Darry coming to intercept the ball, but I saw it coming so I ran in front and caught the ball. I spun to my left around Darry and ran into the in-zone to score the touch down. The game lasted about two hours going back and forth and around lunch time when the game was bout to end Darry scored the winning touchdown and declared victory for his team. After the game we walked back over to the house and saw Mrs. Curtis fixing us sandwiches. We all looked at each other and dashed to the kitchen. Two-bit was next to me gaining speed so I stuck my foot out and tripped him so I would not be the last one. Soda saw this and died laughing. When I got into the kitchen their was one seat left and I jumped into it leaving two-bit to sit at the island glaring at me. After a while two-bit was getting annoyed at the fact that his glaring was not affecting me at all so he finally gave up hope and ate his sandwiches alone. When everyone was done eating their sandwiches we all sat around the table laughing and talking about the football game and how I tripped two-bit. We were sitting all around the table enjoying each other company until about three o'clock, when Darry got up and asked if anyone wanted to go to the movies with him, Ponyboy jumped up and ran to the bedroom to get ready while everyone else agree that that would go. Apparently Ponyboy just loved going to the movies so when he was ready we started making our way to the Dx to grab some cokes and walk to the nightly double. It was about a hour walk from the DX to the drive in and when we got there the gang started heading to the ticket booths but I stopped them and asked them if we could just sneak in through the little ditch under the fence, they all looked at me like I had grown a second head and Johnny asked me "Isn't that illegal" and I told them that it was but we weren't going to get caught. I got down on the ground and slid right under it. Steve and two-bit followed right after me. Johnny looked hesitant but did it anyways since he saw me do it. Soda and Pony looked at Darry for approval and Darry just sighed and said fine but he turned around and said he was gonna pay for his ticket. When we were all finally in we took seats in front of the concession stand and waited for the movie to start. I decided I wanted some popcorn so I got up and asked if anyone else's wanted some. Johnny, pony and Steve all told me they wanted some so I walked to go get the popcorn. I was one row away when Darry asked me If I had money I turned around and smirked at him telling him I had it covered. I snuck into the concession stand and started stuffing popcorn bags into my jacket, there was a big line with a lot of people so if I walked behind them the person at the cash register should not be able to see me. It was a pretty easy steal I walked out with six bags full of pop corn and handed them all out. Darry looked at me funny and asked me how I bought them. I looked at him and told him I did not buy them but I just walked out with them. He gave me a disproving look and I just shrugged my shoulders and watched as the movie was coming on.
We were walking back to the Curtis house after the movie and we got to the street where the gang started to split up and go there own way. Johnny went to his house and Steve headed down the street towards his house. Two-bit laughed and waved at us good bye and Darry asked him where he was going and he told Darry he was going to smoke and drink. Darry yelled at him that he was only fourteen and he should not be doing that stuff, but two-bit just shrugged his shoulders and continued down his path. That left the four of us to walk home. When we arrived at the Curtis house Darry, soda. And pony walked to heir room to change and go to bed. Being that we were being loud Mr and Mrs. Curtis knew we were home so they went into the boys room a few minutes later to tell them good night and then they came into the living room to do the same with me. After they left I was living there with a bad feeling coming into my stomach that something was not right. And that something bad was a going to happen. I feel asleep with that bad feeling just hoping I was wrong.
