I knew you were trouble - Taylor swift

" 'cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in"

5 days later

I clasp my hands together and lay them on the table. I look at pony and raise an eyebrow.

"So... I was thinking.."

"Huh... that new for you?"

"Shut the fuck up" I groan, annoyed.

He continues reading his book for a moment, before placing a bookmark in and looking up at me

"What?"

"So... usually at like.. 2am? I go out and get a slushee- and I was wondering if you wanted to join?" I smile innocently.

"Why would we go get slushees at 2am?" He sets down his book and raises an eyebrow.

"For fun, plus the park is usually empty" I try to reason, shrugging as I do so.

"You know what...fine" he sighs and stands up, he starts to leave the room as I follow behind him.

"Alright!" I grin and follow him.

He rolls his eyes and continues walking out of gym, today was a free day so me and him just sat and talked.. well I talked, he just read his book.

"Oh god.. my brothers are gonna kill me" he groans as he immediately stops talking.

"Eh.. that's alright?" He glares at me

——————————————
The bell rang as me and Pony walked out of 6th hour, I turn to him and check in.

"We still up for 2am slushees?" I ask, turning to him as I walk alongside him, he nods and we say our goodbyes, going to our own lockers.

I walk home as I watch mustangs drive by, they're lucky I wish I could drive. I mean I still got one more year?

I enter my house just to see no one's home,my parents were always at work for some reason, and my brother... he moved away a while ago.

I miss him a lot, he left a lot behind here, like his pajamas, which I totally do not wear to bed

.....
Anyways-

I just do homework and listen to music and read for hours, until it finally hits 12pm, I go shower and change into my pajamas, which consisted of black plaid pajama pants and a black sweatshirt for now.

I turn on a Frank Sinatra album, I start drawing random animals from this textbook I have until 1:50.

I grab a dollar bill and rush to the front door, I tie my shoes and walk out of the house, making sure to grab my house key.

I was down the street until I see the gas station known for its slushees, I wait for a minute or two until pony shows up.

Me and him enter, I hold open the door for him and we walk to the back, standing in front of the slushee machine.

"I think I'm gonna get mango.." I tell him, looking over the flavors

"Ew."

I give him the most disgusted looked ever "what do you mean 'ew'?"

"I mean what I just said" he rolls his eyes and glares at me "blue raspberry is the best"

"God you're a psycho?! Blue raspberry is horrible- raspberries aren't even blue?" I complain

He rolls his eyes and starts filling his cup up, I give him a judgement look and start filling up my cup.

Once we're done, we both walk to the counter and I pay for our drinks, we leave and stay walking around town.

"You know that project that we have in Mr smiths class" I ask, walking alongside him.

"Yeah? Who'd you get partnered with"

"Oh my god" I groan "Bob, the Soc guy, ugh he's so annoying" I complain and take a sip of my slushee

He laughs at me and drinks his slushee was well
"I got paired up with two bit"

"Lucky"

"Who's lucky?"

We turn around to see some random old dude in an alleyway looking at us, he looked to be around 30 years old

"Uh... no one..?" Ponyboy tells him. Me and Ponyboy glance at eachother, who is this guy??

"Hm..." the guy takes a step closer to us "you kids do know, it's not safe to walk around alone at night... right?" He takes another step and smiles at us.

"Uh yeah.." I furrow my eyebrows and cross my arms, slushee still in my hand.

"I mean! Just about anything could happen to you guys!" He takes another step closer and reaches towards his pocket, me and Pony take a step back and see him take out a knife.

I look over and see Ponyboy take out a knife too "guess the same goes for you" he glares at the man

The man gulps and turns around, running. Me and Ponyboy look at eachother confused, why would he run away? He had a knife too?

We turn around to see a police officer behind us.

Whoops?

—————————————-
We're now sitting in the police station, apparently a minor having a weapon is illegal or something? I don't know I think the guys making it up.

We have to get our parents to sign us out, so now me and pony are just sitting here waiting as they call them.

"Okay- how is having a pocket knife illegal?? There was a grown ass man threatening us?! Go after him!"
Pony complains

"Actually though! Like why not go after the man who was going after kids?? Hmm sounds like-" I start to ramble, until we hear someone burst through the door

"Pony! What is wrong with you?! I think you're up sleeping in your room, like you should be.  But I have to find out from the cops that you're sneaking out?! And I have to come get you at 4am?! " I look up and see that muscular guy from the other day yelling at pony, I glance at Pony and feel guilty, I didn't mean to get him in trouble.

I watch as pony walks away with the other guy, which I know its his brother but I have no idea what his name is.

Dally? Daniel? Darren? Darry? No idea.

I wait a while for my parents to pick me up.

And I continue waiting.
————————————————-

I had to wait until 6pm, which is not a nice way to spent your Saturday. Especially waiting at the police station for 14 hours hoping your parents will show.

I get home and just lay down on my bed, tired of everything today.
