Bookworms // a Ponyboy Curtis fanfic

Delilah's pov:
I'm meeting Ponyboy at the nightly double in an hour, I'm so exited this is the first time I've actually had a real friend that wouldn't use me just to get to Cherry. Well I can't be so sure but by the way he acted yesterday I'm not too worried, still have some anxiety laying there though.

Pony offered to walk to my house to pick me up but I told him that it was too dangerous and I would just walk to his house, who knows how many socs he'd encounter, it would be bad. Sadly he had to agree with me, knowing I was right.

Im getting ready standing in front of my mirror when Cherry barges in.

"Hi?" I said kinda snotty.

"Where are you going?" She asks looking me up and down.

"I'm going to the nightly double with a friend." I said casually hopping she wouldn't figure out I was going with a boy, and a greaser.

"Delilah, you don't have any friends."

"Wow, love you too Cherry." I said rolling my eyes glancing back at my mirror.

"Really though, where are you going?"

Oh no. She's getting skeptical of me.

"I'm not lying!"

"How do you all of a sudden have a friend? You know all the "friends" you did have left you for me right?" She yelled back.

I just stared at her, shocked. Why would my sister tell me that?

"Well I have somewhere to be..." I said trying not to loose my anger on her.

"I'm not gonna waste my time with some girl who doesn't care about anyone but herself." I said while storming out of my room.

I ran to the front door and put my shoes on and grabbed my jacket. I told my mom I'm leaving and headed outside over to pony's house.

I didn't need to bring my purse because pony said he'd pay for drinks and food, which I think is a very gentleman like move.

As I made my way down there a yellow mustang started driving slowly next to me. A brunette haired boy rolled down the window.

"Hey little lady, what you doing over on the east side huh?"

I just kept walking, trying to ignore him.

"Come on, princess talk to me." He said grinning at me.

I know he's only trying to get in my pants. I'm not saying this happens a lot but it does happen once in a while and every time they tried getting some from me.

"Leave me alone alright!" I said finally snapping at him, I'm still pissed at cherry, making me snap at him.

"Awe, that's cute." He said I heard the car swerve over and park almost right next to me and I heard four car doors slam. I started to panic.

Why was this happening now, out of all times and places??

I started walking faster almost running.

"Come one baby we just want some fun!" One of the other socs said that had gotten out of the car.

They started running after me, I sprinted as fast as I could running like it was my last day alive.

Of course they caught up to me. The brunette dude grabbed my wrist and flipped me around to face him, then adjusting his hands on my waist.

I started squirming to try and get out of his grip but he kept his hands firm on my waist. I eventually gave up and just stared at him with the meanest look I could give.
