June Curtis

Chapter 7

June's POV

I woke up by someone shaking me to get up. I opened my eyes to see Beth and Evie. "C'mon June, get up. You have school." Beth said. "Ugh! When is school over? It feels like it goes on and on and on!" I said annoyed. I am the only one who is in middle school. Ponyboy would be too, but he skipped a grade because he is so smart. But, I will be graduating very soon... Hopefully. "I don't know but, when you get out of bed, you and I can look." Evie answered. I nodded and told them I would be down in a minute. They left and I got dressed. It was going to be hot today so I wanted to wear something that I won't get hot in. I decided on a black T-shirt that shows some of my stomach with some ripped jean shorts. I then grabbed a red and black flannel and tied it around my waist with my black converse. I brushed my teeth and brushed my hair and left it in it's natural beach waves that go down right above my butt. I don't know what Darry will think of the outfit because he doesn't like it when I wear things that show skin. But, it is a cute outfit so he will have to deal with it along with the others. I walked down stairs to where well, most of the gang were. Ponyboy was in the shower, Soda was running around the house shirtless looking for his DX shirt, Steve was eating chocolate cake, Darry was fixing eggs and bacon, Candy was yelling and pounding on the door for Pony to get out of the shower, Beth was helping Soda look for his shirt, Evie was telling Darry to go get ready for work and that she would finish breakfast, Johnny was just getting up, and Rosie, Kathy, Two-Bit, and Dally weren't here yet. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple, since I was that hungry. I sat down at the table when my twin came it with jeans, a shirt, and his worn out tennis shoes. His hair was freshly greased back. "Hey June." He said. "Hey, Ponyboy. Hey, do you happen to know when the last day of school is?" I asked hoping he did. "Umm... June. This is our last week." He said and chuckled at the end. "Oh." Was all I said. The door burst open and Dally, Kathy, Two-Bit, and Rosie walked in. Dally went to talk to Johnny, Two-Bit went into the kitchen and got a beer and a piece of cake and started watching Mickey, Kathy went to sit next to Dally, and Rosie went to find Sodapop. "Ok. June, I am ready. Let's go." Ponyboy said. I nodded. "Two-Bit, are you going to school with us today?" I asked and probably knowing what his answer is. "I will go but lunch will be my last class of the day." He said then laughing at the end. "And you wonder why you don't pass school." I said smirking. "First of all wise ass, I know why I don't pass school. Second of all, I go to school for the kicks of it and I don't care if I pass it or not because I am dumb. And third, stop smirking like Dallas." He said. "Wow Two-Bit that was I never knew you had it in you to talk the way all other people do besides you do." I said and laugh which earned me a glare but my twin was chuckling. "What about you Johnny?" I asked hopping he will go. "Yeah, I will go." Thank the Lord. I want him to get an education. The four of us started walking to school when I had that feeling again. That feeling when you think someone is watching you. I turned around and looked at my surroundings but I didn't see anyone looking at me but I still had that feeling. There were cars passing by and people walking by but, none of them stopped. NO ONE WAS LOOKING AT ME!!! Ok, this is really starting to piss me off. I walked next to Ponyboy and he looked at me and knew something was wrong. What can I say? It's twin power. He gave me a look that said 'Are you ok?' I nodded but gave him a look that said 'I will tell you later.' He nodded and before we knew it, we were at school. Great. We separated and went our ways. Well, I did because I go to middle school and they go to high school. But, not for long. Last week of middle school, then I am in high school! I walk to my locker and there are Socs by it. Boyfriends were kissing girlfriends and holding hands. I walked over to my locker and opened it when it was closed shut. Hard. I turned around and their attention was turned to me. Bob's little brother; Danny, was smirking at me while his girlfriend was doing the same but glaring at me also. "Look what we got here. Baby Curtis." Danny says while looking at his girlfriend and his buddies. "Leave me alone." I say and open my locker again only for it to be shut again but this time, on my hand. I scream out in pain and took my hand out from my locker and it was already bruising. "Well, poor baby Curtis. Hurt her little hand. Do you want your mommy to kiss it for you? Oh thats right you don't have one." Ouch. That hurt. I turned and looked at them and I couldn't help myself but I through my fist (my good hand) and connected it with Danny's face. He was going to hit me back but his girlfriend beat him to it. She slapped me right across my face. Bitch. I punched her in the stomach and she bent over clutching her stomach. So, I took this opportunity to knee her in the face. Danny brought his fist up in the air but, put it down and fell to the floor holding his nose like I hit him or something. "What the hell?" I asked. Then reality hit me. A teacher is coming. "Miss Curtis!" She yelled. She grabbed my wrist and said " You are going to the principal's office this instant!" I was mad but not surprised. This always happens. "But I didn't do anything wrong. I defended myself. But of course you are going to take the their side because I am a greaser." I said and saw her face turn bright red. "Let's go. We will call someone to come and get you." With that she dragged me to the office. On the way there I hot glares, smirks, and wolf whistles. Behind the teacher's back I flipped them off. We got to the principal's office and the teacher went in and I assumed told the principal what happened. Then she came out and left the office. I was called in and was told to take a seat. Mr. Davis; the principal, shut the door and asked "What happened this time June?" I looked around the room and looked back at him and said "I went to my locker snd there were Socs there. I opened my locker and then they closed it. They started saying things like 'look at the baby Curtis' and I told them to leave me alone and I opened my locker door then they shut it on my hand and then, we started fighting." I said and knew he wouldn't believe me, just like everyone else. "June, I am really getting tired of your attitude. It is the last week of school and I would hate to punish you. You have been in here one to many times and I am tired of it. Now, I am calling home to pick you up and I will be having a conversation with them. No matter if it is your brother, your other brother, your twin, or your sister. I would even tell all of them and the other hoodlums living at your place-" he said but I cut him off. He said too much. "Ok, they may be hoodlums but they are my family. So, I will tell you this one time and one time only. Don't talk about my family like that. Ok? Then, you don't need to tell all of them. Both my older brothers have work, my twin is at school, and my sister is out looking for a job. So, I have no one to call." I said. I honestly had no one to call. No one was at home, people were at work, school, Possibly Buck's which, I don't want to call there because someone else could pick up and wouldn't know what the hell we were talking about, or they were somewhere else. "Then I will call your brother's work and I mean Darrel's work." He said sternly. I sighed and looked at the ground. I wasn't going to tell him the number. Any number. "So, you aren't going to tell me? Fine. Have it your way." He says and stands up and walks out the door. He stops and closes the door and locks it. What the...? He can't do that! I get up and bang on the door and try everything in my power to get the damn door open. I didn't succeed. I went and sat back down in the chair and wondered what he was going to do. Then it hit me.

Ponyboy's POV

I was in the middle of math class when there was a knock on the classroom door. The door opened and the principal of the middle school came in. "Ponyboy, I need you to come with me." Everybody looked at me. I gave him a confused look. Well, he must of notice. "You are not in trouble. But your twin is. She got in a fight at school and she won't tell me her oldest brother's work number." He explained. Thats personal information. He shouldn't of said that. Especially in front of the whole class. I nodded and grabbed my books and walked out the door. We got there and the door was locked. What the hell? He can't do that. Ok, June probably did something bad but he can't lock her in his office. We walked in and June was sitting in the chair and boy, did she look pissed. June, what did you do?
