Disease (Ponyboy Curtis)

-1-

-7 years ago-

"Honey you have to take it" my dad said, I rolled my eyes and grabbed the red and white little pill and just stared at it "Why..." i asked and he breathed out "It helps your brain" he said blankly and walked away.

Whats wrong with my brain?

Nothing, it's you. Your horrid

That's not true. Why did i just think that?

I quickly swallowed the pill and sat down on my bed.

I'm a disease

-Present-

I grabbed my red back pack and rushed down stairs "Your gonna be late" my da said. He was getting old. He had some grey hairs and wrinkles. Still love him though.

To bad he doesn't love you back

"Dad w-wheres my pill?" i asked rubbing my head. He pointed to the counter and i grabbed one and swallowed it quickly "Love you" i said kissing his cheek and grabbing some toast.

He didn't reply. I stopped at the door and turned to him. He was cutting some onions and wouldn't look up at me. I took a deep breathe and grabbed my keys slowly walking out the door.

--------------------

I pulled into the parking lot and parked my car. I slowly stepped out and heard my car make a weird nose. Great.

I pulled my bag over my shoulder and noticed a girl glaring at me. I ignored it, because I'm used to people staring at me.

The bell rang and i rushed inside. I was late. I ran to my homeroom and bust threw the door. Everyone stared at me "Your late Miss Lockwood" Mr.Simes said and i swallowed "Yes sir i'm sorry. It won't happen again" I said running my hands threw my hair. Everyone started whispering and i shuffled uncomfortably.

"Take your seat" he said and continued to write on the board. I started to walk to my seat but the wonderful Socy Boy, Bob Sheldon tripped me "Dumb disease" he said and his group laughed. I stood up and walked to my seat.

I took a quivering breathe and pulled out my note book.

--------------------

I slammed my locker shut and started to walk to my 5th period. I tried to walk upstairs but Bob stopped me "Where you think ya going there, brains" he said shoving me back

I would usually just ignore it but my brain messed up. I felt and click and i looked up at him "Move the hell out of my way you piece of trash" i spit on him and he wiped it off "Now your gonna get it your fucking disorder" he snapped and thats when it all came crashing down.

Ponyboy's POV

Me and Johnny were walking down the halls, slowly making our way to our classes. I could really care less at the moment if i were late or not. I heard yelling and looked up. That one girl, Delilah. With a grin on her face, was running from Bob and his gang. She jumped behind me and Johnny and Bobs gang held Bob back

"What on earth are you doing Bob!" i yelled and stood in front of the girl "Teaching that little disease a lesson!" he spat pointing to Delilah "Fuck you!" she yelled. Bob tried to lunge at her but his gang held him tighter

"Lets just walk our separate ways alright!" i yelled and Bob stopped struggling "You're gonna pay for this brains" he said pointing to Delilah again. He walked off and me an Johnny looked at each other with wide eyes. No one ever talks to Bob and his gang like that. We turned and looked at Delilah who was just staring ahead. She made a whimpering noise and put her hand over her mouth. Her dark brown eyes became watery and she ran off.
