The next day went by so slow. Me and Pony were banded from leaving the couch until we were healed enough. Most of the time I just felt like walking around and messing up my cuts so I didn't have to go to school. Anyway, the only thing we did was watch reruns of Mickey& Pony read to me. We had Two-Bit buy us a couple of new books so we could read them. Pony was asleep when Two brought them over, so I looked through the books really quick to see which ones he got. I looked through them but stopped when I saw Gone with the Wind. Two-Bit must of not been paying attention when he bought these. Gone with the Wind makes Pony remember Johnny which makes him almost cry and I hate seeing him like that. I stuffed the book underneath the cushion on the couch, then slept the rest of the day.
"Ponyboy, Marion, school," I hear Steve yell, which woke me up the next morning. Pony covers his face with a pillow. I look over at Two-Bit and Abby who are both on the floor watching TV and eating. "Good morning, sleeping beauties," Two-Bit says, not even looking at us. I throw a pillow at him and roll off the couch and crawl next to Abby. "Feeling better?" She asks me, eating cereal. "Yep," I tell her before getting hit in the head with a pillow. I fall backwards onto someone's feet. I look up at Darry who's frowning at Two. "Keith, be careful, she's still weak," he says protectively. "Yeah Keith," I say smirking. He sticks his tongue at me then turns back to the TV. I laugh then Darry grabs my arm and pulls me up off the ground unto my feet. "You need to get dressed for school," he says. I nod. "Sodapop. Get your ass out of bed or your going to be late for work," Darry yells across the house. I go into my room but not before peeking my head into Soda's room. He's sitting up but his eyes are closed and he looks half asleep. "Get up, lazybones," I say, and he jolts awake. "What did you call me," he asks, as I leave the room. "You heard me," I yell. I hear him laugh. I walk into the living room and grab Abby to help me pick an outfit. Soda walks into the bathroom and I catch her watching him leave. I wink at her and she starts blushing. What's up with her?
We walk into my room and shut the door. "What should I wear," I ask her looking in the closet me and Darry share. She walks over to me and frowns. "You need more clothes," she says , looking at the closet. "We're poor Abby. How am I supposed to get new clothes?" "Just ask Darry, he'd get you more," Abby says, pulling out a shirt. It was one of Two-Bit's Mickey Mouse shirts he didn't know I took. "This shirt looks girly anyway," Abby had said when I stole it. I quickly put it on. Suddenly I hear the door open, and I hide in the closet. "STEVE GET-OUT," Abby yells. "Oh sorry," he mumbles then shuts the door.
