I GROANED AT the sound of my alarm clock. I went over to my closet and quickly got dressed.
I never eat breakfast in the morning, so after I brush my teeth, I usually head out the door to walk to school.
I walked into the living room and yawned. "Mornin' Gramps."
He looked up at me and smiled. "Morning, Sunshine."
I gave him a hug and grabbed my backpack, walking out the door. I looked behind the house that was across from me because you were able to see Pony's house perfectly. I saw him walking to school along with Johnny and ran to the end of my street. When they saw me, we waved at each other. They came up beside me and Ponyboy smiled. "We should walk to school together everyday."
I laughed. "Yeah, at least I have one thing to look forward to when going to school."
I glanced over at Johnny and he kept his hands in his pockets and his gaze towards the ground. I cleared my throat and put my hand on Johnny's shoulder, causing him to look up at me. "So, tell me, what did Bob and his minions do to you? I'll tell you all of the horrible things he did to me if you tell me."
Johnny stayed silent for a minute and then finally spoke up. "They jumped me. Bob smashed his rings into my face, causing this giant scar. He sliced the whole side of my face."
I growled in anger and clenched my fists together. "The only thing he has going for him besides that car of his are his rings. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to use them on me yet."
"How long has he been bullying you?" Johnny questioned and I smiled, seeing him be less shy around me made me feel happy.
"Ever since last year when he found out I was a greaser. I mean, I dressed like a greaser I don't know why he couldn't see that." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Probably because the only thing he looked at was your face. You have the looks of a Soc, but you just don't dress like one." Pony butted in making me look over at him.
I nodded my head. "Probably."
We walked into the school building and I groaned. "Already? I never usually see him until the afternoon."
"Just try and blend in, maybe he won't see you." Pony advised and I gave him one of my 'are you stupid' looks. "I'm Kieran Smith, the one he looks at every day. I stick out like a sore thumb to him."
Right as we walked past him and his gang, he shouted. "Smith!"
I stopped in my tracks and closed my eyes, while taking a deep breath. I opened my eyes and looked towards Johnny and Ponyboy, who were motioning for me to make a run for it. I laughed, grabbed them by the hands, and bolted out of the hallway. We sprinted upstairs, and I could hear Bob and his gang running after us. Johnny and Pony ran into their classroom and I ran into mine as fast as I could.
