The Outsiders But What I Think Johnny Exeprienced

Chapter One

I woke up with my vision all glared and blurry, I was in my room at my house, god how I hated it here. I remember something about Pony saying he was going to see some new Paul Newman movie so that was probably where he was at, I think Dally got out of the cooler this morning from when i last talked to him, I think he said for 'good behavior' believe it or not. I don't know for sure though, getting a beer bottle to your head as soon as you walk into your own home can do a few things to your memory.

 Like i can remember a lot of essential things like my name, Johnathan Andrew Cade, i am 16 years old ad i live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I am a greaser,that's the nickname for the poor people who live on the east side, the rich people are called 'socs', short for socials, they like to beat up greasers for kicks. My best friend is Ponyboy Curtis. he has two brothers, Darry and Sodapop. My other friends are Dallas Winston, Steve Randle and Keith Matthews, but he goes by Two-Bit.

I sat up and a sharp pain went fro,m my head to the bottom of my spine,I could hear my mother yelling again but,this early? I decided to get dressed amd ready in my room and see what all the racket is.

i put on my jeans and jean jacket,I took some hair grease and slicked my hair to the side to get it out of my face but it doesnt help much, it's so long that it still falls in little strands in front of my eyes.

I walked out of my room and into the hallway where my mother was yelling, she has a few job interviews today so that is probably the reason she is in her dress that she only wears to court and her hair is in curlers.

"Johnny, christ who didn't you do the damn dishes!" She yelled at me, obviously just taking her anger out on me....again.

"B-But I did! That was your dish from this morning!" I said quietly and got a smack to the face.

"That doesnt matter! You're father and I work really hard to provide for you and you have to do this! Cant you do anything for once?" She replied which made my blood boil.

'Work really hard to provide for me?' They don't do shit! They don't even care if I come home or not. I storm out the door where she follows me and throws as many things as she can at my head, glass vases, pens, pencils, shoes, anything she could grab at the moment. I fell on the grass but got up quickly and ran to the Curtis house.

Once I arrived, I saw Dally on the front porch sitting on the old steps. He looked upset about something but I decided not to ask him about it and walk inside.

"Hey Darry! Wheres the first aid kit again?" I yelled out and Darry walked out of the kitchen and said

"In the bathroom, what happened this time?"

I sighed, they all knew about my parents and begged me to get away from them, I know i need to but maybe they will change one day, maybe something drastic will happen to change their mind about me. That's all a dream though, they are both just crappy drunks that never want to take care of their son.

"Mom" I simply said as Darry nodded and fixed me up, I had a few cuts on my neck and a little gash on my knee from where I fell outside.

"There you go, all fixed, are you okay?" Darry asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, Thanks" I was headed into the living room when Dally and Two busted in.

"Guys! Its pony, he needs our help" I bolted out the door and so did Darry and the rest of the gang, Soda and Steve had a headstart because the Socs got him right outside the DX where they worked.

Once I got closer I heard Steve and Soda yelling at the Socs, Dally threw a gigantic log at them, yeah dal, that helps the problem so much. The Socs cut some of Ponys hair off and made a small cut on the bottom of his chin.

Last week the socs got ahold of me and beat me really bad, I could barely move and I have a few scars on my cheek to prove it. Some guy with rings decided it would be funny to beat me up right after leaving my house where I had already gotten enough beating from there.

Other than the bruises on his gave and the cut on his chin, Pony was fine. He was upset about his hair the most though, the kid really loves his hair,heck I think he loves his hair more than TwoBit loves beer, which explains alot.

"Darry I'm fine, stop shaking me" I heard pony say in the distance. Meanwhile, Dally walked up to me and put me in a loose headlock.

"H-"

"Hey dal! Did you get outta the cooler today? I thought you were getting out next week?" Pony said,walking up. Kinda cutting me off but I'm ok with it I guess.

"Yeah,fuzz let me out early, good behavior believe it or not" Dally replied, I called it, I guess I can remember more than I think I can from yesterday.

"Th-" I spoke up but Ponyboy cut me off once again, I act like I'm cool with it because I'm supposedly the gangs 'pet' as Pony calls it. It kind of hurts my feelings, I know I dont look or act tuff but I want to be, I try to speak up and be reckless like Two or Soda, I try breaking the rules like Dally but I keep getting treated like a mute crybaby who cant control his feelings.

I look up to Dally like a father or brother figure, I just cant talk to him around the gang much because I always get cut off or he ignores me like he is embarrassed to talk to me, I know that's not true though. I love the gang with all my heart, they treat me more like family than my actual family does.

"Soda and I were going to go rough some stuff up, maybe find those socs that beat you up Ponyboy." Steve said as I looked up.

"Can we tag along? Ponyboy said as Steve chuckled.

"No kids allowed...kid" And he walked off, Dally walked up and rolled his eyes.

"Well I was going to see this movie they were playing at the drive-in tonight and kids are allowed this time." He said and Pony and I nodded our heads, sitting down on the steps as Dally walked to the gate.

"Was going to take Sylvia but that little broad was two timing me again while I was in jail man.." That's why he was upset on the steps earlier, He doesnt show his emotions much but I usually catch on to how he is really feeling.

Dally walked off and Pony started rambling about the movie he had seen, I didnt really pay much attention but I just twiddled my fingers and pretended like I was listening.

"Ponyboy, you have homework." Darry said and Pony stormed inside with a brief

"See ya later Johnny!" Pony yelled as I walked off, going to find something to do before we met up with Dally, definitely not going home,that's for certain..
