Ponyboy

     Darry left us this morning and me and soda didn't have school or work. "Hey guys, uh I made breakfast." We stood in the kitchen in front of the table full of bacon eggs and chocolate milk.

"Thanks baby, you can stay as long as you want if you do this!" Soda laughed and she smiled a tight smile. "He's kidding." I put my hand up. She relaxed some.

The rest of the day baby was looking through books with me, and soda cleaning the rest of the house. Me and baby and soda took a break and went to the dingo cause we haven't gone in a while. "Man I'm starved!" He said as our food was placed in front of us.

"What's with all the people staring at me?" She seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Your a soc remember, what is your dad?" Soda asked, She shifted, "a doctor. Why?" He grinned and I did too. "Man you guys must be rich!" He slapped the table.

"Why does Darry work so hard, and Don't you two go to school? You can't be older then 18?" She addressed soda again. "Naw I dropped out, I was too dumb." I stared at the table. "Darry works hard so he can pay for us, after our parents died it's been real bad with Bills and social workers."

If she had anymore questions she didn't ask. We headed out of there when a new fight started. Not wanting baby too see too much, we hit it out of there. When we got there Darry was on the phone. "Yes sir I have her...no sir she wanted to run away...No sir I ain't lying told me herself!" He was on the phone. Talking about baby. We entered the house me and soda went too our room. Baby stayed behind with Darry to talk.

"What's happening?" I heard two-bits voice come in the house. I went in the kitchen to find Two bit in our fridge. He said hey I said hey back. It was a regular afternoon. "Baby I want you to stay, it isn't a trick,please just let them come see you." I popped my head out.

"Darry, if they see what I've been living in these last few days, daddy will blow his top!" She crossed her arms. "We have to make a good impression on them then." He walked into the kitchen. Addressing two bit he pointed a finger at him. "Two bit if you come over tomorrow, please make sure your on your best."

Two bit saluted, "sir yes sir!"
