Back In Time

Chapter 3

As I walked, I knew I didn't have any where to go. I started walking for a while. I believe I crossed an old town. It was passed the railroad tracks and the town itself.

As I was walking I looked to my side, just looking around. I looked at some one being jumped. I thought for a moment... Is that.. Ponyboy? I ran behind a tree so the Socs wouldn't see me. I assumed it was the Socs. The one who did see me was Ponyboy. I put my index finger to my lips and quietly went shh.

I got a stick and went for it. I grabbed a Soc and hit him across the head. A Soc came at me with a blade and hit my cheek.

The cut wasn't big, but it still hurt real bad.

I got the Soc by the arm and Judo flipped across my back. The other one came for me and I wasn't prepared. Apparently I didn't see Ponyboy get up cause he tackled that Soc. The last guy came at us and we both kicked him.

They went running straight for their car.

" Are you okay?" I asked out of breath. " I'm okay." he told me. " Glad you are." I assured him with a smile. He smiled back.

A guy came running towards us. I thought it was another Soc, but it was a greaser instead.

" Ponyboy!" the guy screamed. He came and got Ponyboy in a bear hug that he wasn't prepared for and sent me to the ground. I laid there with my face on the ground. " Sodapop!" I heard Ponyboy yell. He helped me off the ground and got me to my feet. Then a taller, muscular guy came running. " Pony!" he yelled and sent me to the ground again. " Darry!" Ponyboy yelled again. He helped me up and asked if I was okay. " I'm okay." I said assuringly.

After I got up, I started walking. " Hey, where you going?" Ponyboy asked. " I don't know." I said.

" Great, thanks guys. I thought I had a chance at her and she saved my life.." I heard Ponyboy say in the distance as I walked.

As I walked I felt something wet go down my face. I put my hand on my cheek and saw that my hand had blood on it. It must've been when the Soc caught me with his knife. I just left the wound alone as I walked.

It was getting dark and I was wondering where I could go. I was looking at the ground and then I bumped into someone. " Oh gosh, I'm so sorry." I said rubbing my head. " Hey, it's okay. Don't worry about it. I'm Johnny. You have somewhere to go?" he asked. " I'm Peyton and no." I told him. " Well I'm headed to the lot, you want to come?" he asked me. " Sure." I said with a grin.

When we got to the lot, we sat laid down and looked at the stars. " Is there something wrong? Johnny asked me. " To tell the truth, there is. There is this guy, his name is Ponyboy Curtis." I told him. " I know Ponyboy. He's my best buddy." he said. He looked at me and started to grin. " You like Ponyboy, don't you?" he asked me. I looked away cause I knew I was blushing. " Yes, I am Johnny.." I said. " Hey don't worry about it. He's a good person. He would take good care of ya." he told me. " That's good to know. Thanks Johnny. I said before falling asleep. And he just nodded right before he did to.
