The new girl in the gang

chapter 6

Jonnys POV

When Steve and Soda walked in with Penelope I knew we all stared at her, Soda explained how Darry said we had to watch her and protect her. She got mad at that "I do not need your protection, I am staying one night so don't even." She was scary.

But nether less when she went to bed in Pony and Sodas room, we started talking about who she is which Soda and Steve seemed to know but didn't tell, the other were fighting over who gets her.

I could just tell not to even try, by the way Soda and Steve kept looking at each other. "We will let her choice." Says Two bit "fine." Pony boys says.

Pep POV

I went upstairs, and acted like I was asleep, I heard them talking and calling me pretty, my heart flushed. Until I heard a car pull in the drive way and I sneak up into Pony and Sodas room, I masted acting asleep a long time ago.

The whole group expect Dally walked in the room, I closed my eyes and breathed in a pattern. They believed me and left, I heard them talking then Darry yelled "you guys are insane Dally will kill you." "Whats Dally have to do with this?" Two bit says "she's his sister !" Darry yells.

The whole floor falls quiet and then I hear Steve and Soda start to laugh, "good night." Two bit says before walking out the front door slamming behind him, I decided to act like the door woke me up because I got up a minute later and went to the bathroom, when I opened my room door it clicked. Everyone looked at me, "what?" I said yawning as if I just woke up, "nothing, did the door wake you?" Soda says kindly "I don't know?" I say in the best I'm tired voice, I walk in the bathroom.

When I walk out Darry says "we need to get you some pjs, I could take you shopping tomorrow." He looks so nice but last time I went shopping was with my dad, he took me out showed me really nice dresses then yelled at me and said how I'm so fat I would never fit any of these. I didn't eat for a week till I recognized I'm to skinny.

"No." I say mad then turn in the room slam the door and lay back in bed, I knew he was trying to be nice but I'm not going to get called fat all over again.

Sodas POV

"What was that all about, I thought I was being nice?" Darry says "maybe she left New York for a reason?" I say and with that Darry walks up stairs to his bed room, while me and Pony lay down on the couch.

Pep POV

I wake up in alarm, I didn't know where I was he's taken me back, if I get up he'll come and hit me. I lay in bed for about 10 mins till I realize I'm at the Curtises house, I get out of bed, and open the door walking into the kitchen.

I walk in and it's loud, the tv playing really loud and the radios turned on all the way. "I'm going to go now, to my friends." I say and act all nice "didn't you just move here?" Pony says looking at me "yeah but I have a friend already, I'm just that likable." I say with a smirk

"Ok, call me when you get there, if you don't I will call the fuzz." Darry says sounding protective I nod and walk out the door, I still can't bring my truck I forgot to get gas yesterday. As I'm walking I end up going into a convince store, I didn't notice Pony and Jonny following me.

I walk in and start picking stuff and putting them in my pockets, eventually the clerk came over and said "mam I need  you to empty your pockets." I look at him confused "what do you mean?" I say grabbing female products, "I'm having a bad day, can I pay for these and use your bathroom?" He looks shocked "of course sorry." We walk over and I pay for the products, not the comb, deodorant, of tooth past, I had shoved in my pockets.

I walk out of the store with my bag tied shut, I don't know why I tied it but I felt like it. When I walk out I see Pony and Jonny siting on a bench when they see me they get up "you need to come home." Pony says "how old are you?" I ask "14 why?" "You can't do poop to me." I say then start walking away, I notice they must have seen me shoplift but they didn't know what was in the bag.

They followed me "we know you are lying." Jonny says "yeah how?" "Dally called and flipped when he found out you weren't there." "Cool, what could he do to you?" "Kill me, but never Jonny." Pony says Quietly, Jonny looks sad and down at his feet "he couldn't kill you, he wouldn't hurt a fly." I say "you've been gone awhile." Pony says, we walk in slim enough until I realize I don't know where I'm going. "So where's Bucks, cause my friend  lives by there." I say they sigh "follow us." Jonny says and I follow not thinking much of it, it took me awhile before I realized we were on there street.

"I said Bucks not your house." I say mad Jonny flinches but Pony looks me dead in the eye "we can do this the hard way or the easy way but your coming in this house." I'm shocked for how little he is he sure can talk "what are you going to do, your both kids?" Jonny looks up here "I'm 16 and you need to come with us."

All the sudden I take off running the boys must have planed this cause Jonny took off toward their house and Pony took off after me. He didn't know I'm kind of a runner and a track star, I sprit off hearing my supplies in the bag spill out of the box. Thank goodness I tied my bag. After awhile I look behind me and Pony is nowhere to be find so I think I'm safe.

I find a tree and climb it then I'm hidden in case they do look for me. I don't think they will Darry seems to hate me. The only issue is I will need to use the bathroom, I still have my bag.
