Angel

Ponyboy

Ponyboy POV

We all sat at the kitchen table, eating breakfast. I was glad Darry wasn't yelling at me about doing my homework-he usually does. But because Angel required more attention, I was being, well, sorta ignored.

"Soda, will you drop Angel off at school on the way to work? My shift starts early today," Darry said.

Sodapop nodded. "Sure thing."

I finished my breakfast and got up. "I'm gonna walk to school," I said, grabbing my backpack.

No one even noticed, so I just left. I walked about a block when I saw Johnny up ahead, also walking to the high school. I ran up to him real fast. "Hey, Johnnycake," I said.

"Hey," he quietly replied.

We were both pretty quiet, as usual, but he's still a good buddy, even if we don't talk. I mean, I don't really talk to people outside the gang, anyway.
