Darry's P.O.V.

We had a new worker at my job. His name was Emmet Cullen. All my coworkers have met him. They say he's a good kid.
"I should meet this guy." I thought to myself. I was assigned this house with him.
"Great now's my chance to meet this guy." I thought to myself. I drove up to the house and saw this guy who was about my age and looked as strong as me. I got out of my truck and walked over to the guy.
"Hey you must be new I'm Darrel Curtis, but everyone calls me Darry." I said.
"I'm Emmet Cullen, also known as Em or newbie." He said.
"Nice to be working with you." I said.
"Same here." Emmet responded. I began carrying bundles of roofing up the ladder. Ponyboy told me not to, but what does a 14 year-old that doesn't use his head know? I began roofing the house, until my foot slips and I fall off the ladder. But I don't hit the ground. Someone caught me...it was Emmet.
"You alright Darry?" He asked me.
"Yeah. Thanks Emmet." I said.
"No problem. Slippery ladder." Emmet responded. He lets go of me and I get back to roofing the house. We were done by noon.
"Good work Darry." Emmet said.
"You too." I responded.
"You doing anything later?" He asked me.
"Nope. I was actually gonna go home and make dinner for my brothers." I responded.
"How about you guys hang out with me? I could use the company." He offered.
"Sure." I said.
"How about we meet up at the Dingo in about 10 minutes and we could all hang out." Emmet said.
"Sure thing." I said.
