Ponyboy's Point of View

We walked on home, mostly in silence.

I wanted to ask Johnny if those were the same Socs that had beaten him up, but I didn't mention it.

Johnny never talked about it and we never said anything.

"Well, those were two good-lookin' girls if I ever saw any." Two-Bit spoke as we walked.

He took a piece of paper out of his pocket and stuck it in his mouth and spit it out.

"What was that?" I asked, pulling out a cigarette as we walked up to Johnny's house.

"Marcia's number. Probably a phony one, too. I musta been outta my mind to ask for it. Girl like that wouldn't ever go out with me anyway. Where y'all goin'?" Two-Bit asked, right before a hat blew along the road from the wind and he chased after it, laughing.

"Whoa! Got me a new hat!"

I laughed as he put it on, trying to look tuff.

"You're crazy...." Was all I could say, smirking at him.

"I dunno why the hell I handed you that busted bottle," Two-Bit said, standing in front of me with his new hat. "You never woulda used it."

"I dunno, I might have," I shrugged, though I wasn't sure if would've.

Johnny walked up in front of his house, hands in his pockets of his jacket while Two-Bit and I spoke.

"Where ya headed?" I asked.

"I dunno. Might jus' stick with you kids a bit. Figured I wouldn't get drunk for the ol' lady...." Two-Bit shrugged as Mrs. Cade opened the door to yell at Johnny, telling him to "get outta here!" and went back to yelling and arguing with her husband.

I seemed sort of odd to me that Two-Bit wasn't eager to go home or spend time with his girlfriend Kathy or go to Buck's or do whatever it is Two-Bit does.

But I guess I didn't mind.

He gave a small grin and I nodded shortly at him, glancing at Johnny who hesitated in front of his house for a minute before he finally turned.

"Man, I hate when my folks fight. Let's go to the lot." He turned away quickly and I followed, Two-Bit directly beside us.

"Good choice, Johnny." He said softly, placing an arm on his shoulder.

We walked over to the vacant lot, keeping quiet as I smoked my cigarette.

Two-Bit had his hat on his head and I wanted to tell him he looked funny with his hair sticking out in front, but I didn't.

Johnny didn't say anything, but that wasn't out of the ordinary.

We all sat down against the long couch cushion propped up against a tree and Johnny lit a fire.

I rubbed at my arms from the cold, shivering as I looked up at the stars.

Two-Bit sat next to me, stretching out his arms and legs, getting comfortable.
