Ponyboy Curtis

Chapter Two-New School

I woke up to Dally yelling at me to get in the shower. It was my first day at the new school and I wanted to look decent.

After I got out of the shower, I pulled on some black Converse, jeans, t-shirt, and Dally's old leather jacket.

I never to anything with my hair, I mainly just let it air dry and do whatever.

"You almost ready? The bus'll be here any minute!" Dally yelled.

"Yea, yea, I'm comin' I'm also not going to eat breakfast."

I waited for the bus for what seemed like ages, until a little kitten came and rubbed against my leg. Whelp, if there's one kitten there's bound to be more nearby.

The bus finally came, and I saw Ponyboy and Johnny. I decided to go sit near them.

"Hey, guys." I said. I wasn't really sure what to say. I can get awkward at times.

"Hey, Kailey, are you nervous for school?" Pony asked.

"Yeah, I don't know why. I don't care if people bully me."

"Oh, they won't do that, I'll fight em' off." Pony laughed.

It made me laugh too. I looked over at Johnny and half smiled. Johnny was real cute, I don't know why he was always so quiet.

"Hey, Johnny, how are you?" I asked him politely.

"I-I'm ok, how 'bout yourself?"

"I'm pretty ok." I'm horrible at conversations.

We rest of the ride was small talk. Then we finally arrived to a average looking school. Some people were in groups, and some just chilled by a large grey fountain.

I got up and felt something touch my butt. I look back really quick to see Ponyboy.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, honest." His eyes told the truth. I didn't really care either. It was an accident, right?

"Yea, yea, its cool. It was accidental."

"You say 'yea' an awful lot." He chuckled.

"Yeah, I don't understand. Bad habit, maybe?" I smiled and strode off the bus. I didn't want to look like a wimp on my first day, so I tried act real tough.

"Hey, will y'all help me find my way around the school?"

"Sure." The boys chorused.

"I guess we should go to my locker first."

We were almost there when Johnny ran into a tall boy with curly, brown hair.
