I jog into school and into the main office.
I grabbed my class list and opened the door. I was speed walking as I went out the door and run into someone and fall to the floor.
"Hey, watch we're you're g-" the voice yells. It sounds like the one of Socs who jumped me.
"Please don't hurt me again." I plead.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean again, y'all okay man ?" The guy asks but his voice is different he kneels down beside me. I look up at him and he looks at me. He has gray/greenish eyes. Redish brown hair and worried look. He wears a green shirt and blue jeans.
I suddenly remember his question.
"Um, yeah I'm fine. By any chance is your name Ponyboy ?" I ask.
"Yeah, it is. How did you know ?" he asks.
"Your buddy Johnny, he saved me from some Socs who jumped me because they thought I was a greaser. Thats when I got my hair cut." I sigh and he smiles.
"Y'all Johnny Cade is at it again. Man he really wants a girl in his life. After his mom gives him nothing but lip and his father only contact with him is his fist or a belt." He slightly shakes his head and stands up.
He holds out his hand like Johnny did. Once again I take it and he helps me up.
"You're new here ?" Pony asks as we walk to class. Turns out we're in the same classes together along with his friend Two-Bit. Man I have to learn about this guy Two-Bit.
"Yeah. I don't know most of the slang because I moved here from a small town. I never know their were 'Greasers' or 'Socs'. You guys got it real rough around here ." I say and we see our class room.
Classes weren't really long and before I knew it, it was lunch time. Me and Pony walked out class and I headed toward the cafeteria. I felt Pony grab my shoulder.
"Ok, you're new here but greaser don't eat in the lunch room we eat somewhere else, anywhere else but there. Follow me." he walked out the front door.
I follow reluctantly as we start to walk down the sidewalk.
"Is school over ?" I ask him as we walk.
"Yeah lunch then we go back to home room then schools out. They don't care if you're not there." he shrugs.
"Where are we going anyway ?" I ask.
"We are going to get Johnny then were going to my brothers gas station to get something to eat." Pony starts to jog.
I look forward and see a dark, small figure. Pony starts sprinting toward it and I fumble behind. I see Ponyboy jump and land on the figure. They start wrestling and I pick up speed. I stop when I see someone run past me and joins in.
They keep wrestling and I just giggle.
They finally stop and stand up.
I look toward Johnny and Pony, and looked over at the other guy. I cocked an eyebrow at him. He returns it by doing the same. Only his was much slicker and seemed to have a story, a story of a good kid on the 'bad' side of town.
He grinned a dangerous but simple grin. He turns back to the boys.
"Well aren't y'all gonna tell me who this fine young lady is or leave me wondering her story ?" he asks and I shy away.
He walks toward me and walks around me. "Wow, I like what I see. How did you get your hair like that ?" He asks walking over to me and uses me as an armrest.
