"Here you are, love." I said, handing Darry his cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows in it. I sit next to him on the couch. Sodapop was out looking for some action with Steve and Ponyboy was at his girlfriends house, having a study date. Which leaves me and Darry.

"I'm so relieved Pony's graduated high school." Said Darry. "Now all I have to worry about is him going to college." "Did he say he wanted to go to university?" I asked. "Well, he didn't say anything about it. All he said was that he's happy he's not in high school. I don't know what that means. I never asked him either. I would like for him to go." He said.

"I have a feeling he meant he's tired of school and everything." I said, chuckling. "Yeah that might be it." He said. "Let him be. Let him have his fun. He's got himself a lady, a lot more friends ever since Johnny and Dally died, he's been close with you too." I said. He smiles, looking down at his mug. "Yeah I guess I'll let it go for a while."

"Now just enjoy your time not worrying about school bills." I said, lifting my mug up. We click our mugs together and drink the hot chocolate.

The whole night, me and Darry talked about many interesting things. We talked about what Ponyboy and Sodapop would do in the future. We thought, Ponyboy would possibly become a writer. Sodapop might have a successful mechanic shop.

"I still feel bad for Sodapop after Sandy left town." I said. "He'll be okay. He'll find a good woman to be with." Said Darry. I covered my mouth as I yawn. "Oh god, I'm gonna sleep." I said, standing up. "Same." He said, also standing up. He picks me up and puts me over his shoulder. I chuckle as he drops me on the bed with a slight bounce. He gets on the bed with me.

"I feel like taking the day off tomorrow. I wanna spend it with you." He said. "I think you should." I whispered.
