"The reason your here is because Ponyboy here was being careless and ran in to you at full speed coming out of the movie theater. You hit your head on the concrete and got knocked out. You had no identification on you so Pony called us up worried as hell." He continued to explain how they got me here and that I was at their house. He explained that I've been knocked out for about 5 hours since 12pm and that it was about 6pm. "I'll introduce you to the boys; here's pony, the one that hit you," Pony look down at his feet shamefully and murmured and sincere "I'm really sorry." In reply, I smiled showing that I forgave him. "This is Two Bit, Steve, Sodapop, Johnny, and I'm Darry." Darry said. There wasn't an ugly guy in that entire bunch. Each one seem to be a completely different person with different attributes. All I could do was stare at their beauty.


"So now you know us, tell us about you, never seen you around town, you look like your on the very wrong side of town miss, you lost?" Two Bit asked. "I'm Adara Fitz and I just moved here from San Francisco, California, actually I just moved here today. In that case, I'm not sure exactly where I live, but I live on Marywine Avenue. If I was there, I could probably find my house from there." I said somewhat shyly. All of the guys gave me an odd look. Did I say something? "Are you sure that's where you live?" Two Bit asked, scratching his head in confusion. Why were they acting like this? I know the house isn't nice, but theirs isn't much better. What was up? "Is there something wrong with that?" I asked. They all looked at each other, as if they were all thinking the same thing, but didn't want to say it.

Finally Soda said "You just don't look like the type of girl that would live there, you look...... too good." What do they mean "too good"? "Thankyou..?" I said more as a question then a statement.  As I was thinking about it, I looked down at my watch and notice what time it was....6pm! My parents must be worried sick, I really got to get home!.....how do I get home??? "I know I just met you guys, but do you think you could give me a ride home? I really don't know where I am and I gotta get home soon." I asked hesitantly, hoping that I wasn't asking for too much. "No problem, we know where you live," Darry said, then immediately coming back by saying "Oh I didn't mean it-....I just.... you understand what I mean.....well I guess we should be goin, who's coming with us?" Immediately everyone rose their hand. "Well I guess y'all can ride in the tailgate....except you pony, your in the truck Adara and I." Darry said. Pony gave him an irate look, but immediately softening his expression. I guess this happens often.
