"And your folks won't be worried about you?" Darry asked as he tucked in his shirt.

"They don't pay much attention to me." I said with a shrug.

He shot me a sad smile before kissing the top of Ponys head.

"Soda gets off at 5. Go catch a movie until then. I work late." He told Pony. Pony nodded and Soda gave him a kiss on the head before running out the front door.

Pony walked to the kitchen and came back with 2 pieces of toast, handing me one.

"Lets go." Pony said as he pushed out the front door.

"Where are we going?" I questioned as he walked quickly down the road.

"You get to meet Curly, from the Shepard gang. You can't tell Darry though. He'll lose a screw." He said.

I just followed beside him. I didn't ask many questions.

We reached a small brick house and Pony jumped the fence, helping me over.

Pony walked around back.

"Curly!" He yelled. A tall boy with dirty black hair looked up. He had an grin that had trouble written all over it.

Pony sat in the dirt in front of him. I sat next to Pony and tossed the rest of the toast over my shoulder.

"Who's this pretty girl?" Curly asked as he shot me a grin. His hair was greased but didn't do much help because strands still fell in front of his blue eyes. He was really attractive.

"This is y/n." Pony said as he lit a cigarette.

"Why hello, y/n." Curly smirked. I shot him a smile before pulling out my own cigarette.

"Aren't you a pretty thing?" Curly chuckled as he put his fingers under my chin.

I saw Pony giving him an evil glare out of the corner of my eye.

"I get that alot." I mumbled as I pushed his hand back.

"Hard to get?" He laughed and bit his lip as his eyes skimmed my body.

I smiled and grabbed his hand. Pony was giving us the death glare but i didn't think much of it.

"You wanna hold hands now?" Curly chuckled.

I smirked and tilted my head before putting my cigarette out on his hand.

He hissed in pain and pulled back his hand.

Pony gave me a scared look with wide eyes.

"Women arent objects, asshole." I snapped as he held his hand.

"Firey huh?" He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes.

"Anyways, I've been reading this book on-"

"Boring." Curly cut Pony off. Why was he still attractive?

Pony sighed and grabbed a magazine off the dirty ground. There were things scattered all over the ground.

I picked at my nail polish in silence.

"Pony." Curly said. Pony ignored him and continued to read.

"Pony!" Curly yelled but Ponyboy continued to read.

I heard Curly sigh and then a gunshot. I jumped back and looked at Curly who had a heater pointed to the sky.

"WHA-WHAT?!" Pony yelled as he stumbled back.

"Ah, nevermind..i forget now." Curly sighed as he tucked the heater into his waist line.

"Hey! I've got an idea!" Curly practically yelled, causing me to jump.

"Why don't we go on a double date?" Curly asked as he shot me a slick glance.

"If you haven't noticed, Curl. There's only 3 here." Pony snickered.

"Yeah, but Angela likes you and this doll is a real cutie. Whadda say?" Curly asked. Angela Shepard was The Shepard sister. She went to school with me.

"Oh, Curly I don't-"

"I'll go get her." Curly cut him off and ran inside.

I turned to Pony and forced a grin.

"You and Angela, huh?" I asked, trying not to seem upset.

"She's into me. She's not my type really. I like-"

"Pony!" Angela squeled as she threw her arms around his shoulders, causing him to fall back.

He pushed her off and strained a smile.

"Hi." He said in a bleak voice.

She shot me a glare, tossing her black hair over her shoulder.

"Who are you?" She snapped, her eyes narrowing.

"My date." Curly cut her off as he put an arm around my shoudlers.

"You know, you'd be hot if you didn't jump to the fact that I'm going to get in your pants." I snapped as I pushed his arm off my shoulder.

He smirked at me as I lead the way out of the yard.
