I groaned and rolled over in bed accidentally hitting Sodapop, who joined me later in the night. I smiled to myself remembering the other day. Sodapop Curtis really, really, really likes me. I slipped out of bed and grabbed some clothes to change into, a basic white tshirt and some black ripped skinny jeans would do. I went into the bathroom and changed into my clothes and threw my hair into a messy ponytail. I applied light makeup and ran out of the bathroom.

I smirked as I found myself entering Ponyboy's bedroom. As soon as I entered the room I faced a sleeping Ponyboy. I began to hoot and holler making as much noise as I could to wake him, and probably everyone else in the house, up. He groaned and I said, "wakey wakey sleeping beauty."

"What did you wake me up like that for?" Ponyboy asked while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes

"What did you wake me up like that for?" Ponyboy asked while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

I returned a shrug and a small smile and made Ponyboy roll his eyes. "The world may never know horseman. Anyways get your tooshy ready for school."

I ran out of the room and into the kitchen, stealing a piece of Sodapop's bacon. He cried out, "that was the last piece of bacon Katy! I was... I was gonna eat that."

"Sorry Pepsi-Cola," I said returning a shrug and messing up his hair.

I began to cut the fresh cake Darry had made into large pieces for Steve and got out a beer for Two-Bit.

"PONYBOY LETS GO!" I yelled out into the house, "IM LEAVING WITH OUR WITHOUT YOU."

Ponyboy came dashing out into the kitchen, "I'm ready now stop shouting so much."

We exited the house together and walked towards another dreadful day at school.

All my classes passed by slowly, especially Science as it was last hour and I had a set of eyes boring into my back. These eyes belonged to none other than Mark. He wouldn't stop staring at me and it was infuriating me. I turned around and glared at him to give him a signal but who was I kidding? He can't even read normal English, how is he supposed to read the signals I was giving him? I gave up after trying to get him to stop staring for a while and tried to focus on the teacher. I failed this task but was saved by the bell.

I ran out of class, ready to meet up with Adam. But outside I saw a large crowd formed around a group of boys. Six Socs and one Greaser. My breath hitched, I immediately thought of Adam. I ran over to the scene to try and get a better look. My head spun, in the center of the circle Mark, Richard, and their followers were beating up Ponyboy! I rushed into the center of the circle, pushing and shoving people out of my way.

"Richard. I should have known it was you. Can you just leave Greasers alone for once? Let it rest Richard!" I yelled as I pulled him off of Ponyboy. "This is a new low for you, beating up a defenseless 14 year old!"
