Sodapop: Good morning, how'd you sleep?

Pony: Hi. I slept alright

Pony: Why did you leave so early for work

Sodapop: Steve just wanted to talk to me, that's all

Pony: He did? Why didn't he just text you?

Sodapop: Well it's always better to talk in person

Pony: If it's important then yea

Sodapop: When you get older you'll understand

Pony: I will?

Sodapop: When I was not much younger than you, I didn't get why people took each other to dance at school. I thought it was kind of weird that some perfect stranger could walk up to you and ask you to prom.

Pony: Is that why you dropped out?

Sodapop: Lol no

Sodapop: I had a lot more to learn than just sitting at a desk all day and reading useless stuff about goldfish

Pony: You learned about goldfish?

Sodapop: Sorta, maybe in the 9th grade

Sodapop: Other than finding out they have a terribly short attention

Pony: Wow that is kinda useless

Sodapop: Exactly, besides, a job can teach you a lot more than school can with time and experience

Sodapop: That being said, school can also teach you important things that a job won't

Pony: Like what?

Sodapop: Those poems you read

Pony: Why might they be important?

Sodapop: You read them all the time, so they must be an eye catcher

Pony: Yea, they really make me think

Sodapop: So maybe there is some truth in saying that you need school

Pony: So if something matters to me then it's worth learning about?

Sodapop: Not just in school

Pony: If something matters to me then it's worth...

Pony: Anything :)

Sodapop: Now you're getting it!

Pony: I think I know now

Sodapop: Know what?

Pony: I know what I need to do

Sodapop: Ok

Sodapop: Don't forget

Pony: What's that?

Sodapop: Tomorrow's my day off

Sodapop: Steve and I are going out, you best come with :)

Pony: You sure?

Sodapop: Yes

Pony: Where are we going?

Sodapop: I'll tell you later

Pony: Okay :)

What do you think will happen next chapter? 😮

Also, I feel like this is something Steve would do.

"Broo, I'm about to wear my good Crocs to church"
