All Grown Up

Chapter 13

Dawn

"What was so good about it?" I asked softly. Mr. Matthews paused.

"It's was a time to be free. That's where I met Mom, too." He sighed. "Anyway. I was such a trouble maker. The comedian of the group too."

"That's why you're a comedian now."

"Correct. Anyway, there was two groups to this amazing time. Greasers, and Socs. Luckily, I was a Greaser." He sighed. "My friend who you're goin' to meet, Ponyboy, was also a Greaser, liked a girl, Cherry, who was a Soc."

"What's a Soc?" Daisy asked. Mr. Matthews started to laugh.

"Socs are the rich kids back then. Greasers were the kids that didn't have a hell of an amount of money. Anyway, there was a lot of drama that went on. Two of my friends died, we all just changed somehow. I don't know."

"Oklahoma sounds like a great place." I suggested, trying to image what Oklahoma looks like from what I was told.

"It is. And the great thing is that my old friend, Darry, still lives in the same house I was raised in, and your dad, Dawn. I'm so happy that you guys can experience where I was raised for the first time." Mr. Matthews stayed happily.

"It's funny, Dad never talked about a Ponyboy." I said.

"That's because Ponyboy and your dad didn't really like each other."

"Darry!" Dad yelled as he started to bang into the door. He backed up and looked at me. "This is my brother, your uncle. He has two kids. Angel and Brian. They're older then you, so be respectful." Dad explained. I nodded.

"Okay, I will." I sighed. Dad smiled. Then, the door opened, and there stood a older looking man, staring at Dad. Dad turned around quickly.

"My Lord, is that you, Ponyboy?" The man, who I'm guessing is my uncle, asked. Dad paused.

"Hey, Darry. It's been a while."
