"talia, met her at the park before i got-" a muscular man cuts pony off.
"your nose godammit, did those socs do this to you?!" he rushed over to check to pony's nose.
"yes, but talia was there to help." pony pointed at me, i felt everyone's eyes on me.
"don't mention it pony." i slightly smiled, pony was sent to the couch to get his nose treated.
i awkwardly stood by the door for a hot minute, not knowing what to do as everyone else resumed what they were doing before i got here. it was my cue to leave the house.
"you can stay ya know, just in case your folks don't want you home." a dude with an elfish hairstyle said.
"dally, she's a soc." ponyboy acknowledged, everyone was shocked.
"would y'all stop sitting around and introduce yourselves to pony's friends?" the same muscle tone man shook his head "i'm darry, pony's older brother."
"talia." i nodded.
"since no one can do stuff themselves, i'll do it for them. flannel is soda, sleeveless dx shirt is steve, mickey is two-bit, you've met dally, and jean jacket is johnny." ponyboy introduced me to everyone.
"look pone, i really gotta get going you know-" an arm covered by leather wrapped around my shoulder.
"stay as long as you want doll." he smirked.
"i'm 14..." my eyebrows furrowed, dally let go of me.
everyone began laughing like crazy as dally was a step away from catching a case, gotta admit it was funny. pony patted the open spot right next to him on the couch, i awkwardly widen my eyes as a 'thank you' but these boys couldn't understand any of that.
darry handed me a slice of chocolate cake, literally handed me a a slice from his bare hands. i can see that no one uses forks and plates around here, oh well. i watched two-bit try to sneak an m&m out of the bag, next thing i knew i was throw one, luckily i caught it in my mouth. some were amused.
i checked the clock that was hung up on the wall, time was already 7:59 pm, dad would kill me if he saw me walk out that door.
"look, it was nice meeting you guys but i really have to go."
"alright, ya think we can hangout tomorrow?" ponyboy asked.
"yeah sure, library?" i raised my eyebrow.
"you'll see, meet me by the dingo at 5:30, alright?"
"alright." i responded before leaving.
as i made an exit, i could hear everyone's chants go up. the east was way too far from here, especially my house which probably took me around 15 minutes to get to, and yes with running.
dad's car was home along with cherry's, the lights happened to be on too which meant dinner was around the corner. i open the door just to see smiles and laughter fill the air, bob was sitting right in my seat.
"talia where have you been?!" dad turns to me, obviously he's half-drunk.
"a friend's house." i shrugged.
"it's past curfew, you were supposed to be home two hours ago!" he yelled.
"it's my fault, i forgot to pick her up by the library and that's how she ended up there." cherry vouch for me, she winked at me with a smile.
dad inhaled a deep breath before letting go like a kettle, i was left off to just walk up to my room. nothing else came to mind other than a nice shower, madonna off of my new boom box, and an hour reading session.
my wet hair was fully wrapped in my towel as i walked out of my bathroom with my light pink robe, played 'cherry bomb' by the runaways as i searched through my bookshelf for something interesting.
i was in the middle of reading until i heard three taps coming from my window, it really sounded like rocks since my bedroom was located on the 2nd floor. i walk over to my window to see soda standing there.
"soda? wh-why are you even here?" i whispered loudly.
"darry didn't trust pony walking around this side of town alone, so pony sent me here. pony asked if you wanted to come see a movie with the gang tomorrow, darry's taking us." he asked.
"yeah but i was supposed to be meeting up with pony somewhere." i was confused.
"oh that's what he always does, then he just takes the gang with him." soda acted like it was a normal thing.
"alright, what time's the movie?" i asked.
"5:30 but we always try to get there earliest just so the guards don't have to catch us under the fence." under the fence? what is he saying?
"okay then, see y'all tomorrow." i close my window to resume reading as i began drying and brushing my hair.
