Ponyboy pov

Dally decided to take me and Johnny to a diner. I don't know why we always tag along but it's better than staying in my room all day. When we entered I looked at the lunch counter and saw this girl. Wow she was pretty. Not cherry valance pretty but still very pretty. She had soft brown eyes and beautiful short brown hair. She was kinda short and looked around my age.  She sure as hell didn't look like a greaser or some type of a hood but she didn't look like a Soc either she was one of a kind. I could see she was talking to Donna. I don't know Donna that well but I knew she was one of Cherry's friends. She was part of her group. But that girl at the counter, I had never seen her before in my life.
Time skip

Dally was talking to me and Johnny about this girl he was seeing. I wasn't paying attention. I was mostly staring at the girl. I felt like a creep doing it but I couldn't stop staring at her. She was definitely something. Eventually, dally saw me look at her.
"Hey, ponyboy, who are you staring at?
He looked at who I was staring at.
Jeez, ponyboy couldn't you make it less obvious.
Shut your trap I said
You better not be falling for her. She is probably a socs.

Eventually, Donna came to take our order. Me and Johnny just ask for a shake. Dally the whole time was flirting with her. It kinda bothers me that every time he sees a girl he always flirts with them or talks dirty to them. It was weird the way the gang acted with girls. We try to be nice to the girls we see once in a while like cousins or girls in class; but we still watch a nice girl go by on the street corner and say all kinds of lousy stuff about her. I never really participated because to me I felt uncomfortable calling girls names and sorts especially well dressed girls like cherry or this girl.
    Ponyboy! yelled dally
    I looked at dally. He looked annoyed.
    Pony,I want you to promise me not to fall in love with these types of girls, all they will do is break your heart and treat you like trash, ok ponyboy?  
   
     I know I wouldn't listen to his advice but I didn't feel like arguing either. Dally is worse than Darry. Darry makes it really hard to convince him, but Dally won't agree or change his minded even if he knew he was wrong.
Ok, ponyboy?
Ya ok. I said looking down at the table.
I started to mess with the straw wrapper until I heard a voice. I looked up and saw her. Gosh she was pretty. I immediately looked down after seeing her.
Eventually she walked away. I looked up at dally and he began to smirk. I know that smirk and I didn't like it. Then he said
      Hey, wait a minute, hot stuff.
Oh god. This ain't good.
She came back and looked pissed
What do you need? She said
After that, dally started to bother her a lot. I knew she was pissed.

We need to say something whisper Johnny
I know. I replied.
I know Johnny wasn't going to stand up against Dally. The only time he did was at the nightly double when we met Cherry and her friend. After that happened, Dally was so mad that he  didn't talk to Johnny for a day and that messed Johnny up. So he never did it again. But I couldn't  watch this happen, especially not to that type of girl. I knew if I stood up for her I would get socked by dally but I didn't care. I stood up and said
DALLY Leave her alone I yelled
I could tell dally wanted to beat me up but before he could Johnny said
YA DALLY JUST LEAVE HER ALONE
It was a bit shocking that Johnny had the courage to do that the first time but a second time that was definitely surprising.
Dally looked even more pissed but he just grabbed a cigarette and left the diner.
I looked back at the girl and she looked a bit shocked. She said thank you and I stood there like an idiot smiling. She walked back to the counter and Johnny and I just started to talk about a movie I saw with him and two-bit yesterday.
Out of nowhere I started to hear yelling and I turned to see the girl and Donna yelling at each other. They were yelling about greasers and Socs.

Well- W- Why are you defending the greasers ? Aren't you a Socs too? She yelled
I'M NOT! I'm a Greaser according to yall
A GREASER there is no way the girl is a greaser. Like she doesn't seem like one. I would have thought that she was middle class or soc or something. The arguments continue and it leads to the girl leaving. After that me and Johnny thought we should leave. We left and I saw the diner girl walking. Then a red Mustang pulled up. I didn't feel like getting jumped so we ran to the record store near there.
Before I enter the record store I saw one of the socs in the car say
"Hey diner girl" said one of the guys in the car
The car stopped and 3 socs got out. If I didn't know better I would have thought she was going to get jumped.
"Hey Bob" diner girl said still walking

Ponyboy. Ponyboy! I turn to see Johnny try to pull me into the record store.
Pony come on, they're going to see you. Johnny said. After that I enter the store and started to look thru the boxes of records
