Ponyboy x Soc!Reader
angst
"Will you please listen to me?! We have to finish this science project by tomorrow!" Ponyboy hollers. Darry and Sodapop look from the kitchen, never seeing their brother be this shade of red. And no, sadly it isn't from blushing, as rage runs through the young boy, similar to the blood rushing through the veins in his head.
"Calm down, why don't ya'? We have only a few things left. I told you I'd finish them tonight. But no, you had to be a fucking asshole and make me come over! I have a life, you know, unlike you!" Now that last sentence was a lie, however. (Y/N) wasn't very popular in school. Though a Soc, they were an outcast, not really fitting in as their mother was a teacher. Though didn't make much money, it was enough to be in middle class.
"Well, how am I supposed to trust you when you do everything wrong?!" Pony exclaims, leaning across the coffee table the to sit at. (Y/N) bites their tongue, holding in every fiber, trying not to strangle the brunette. "You couldn't do the hypothesis! You couldn't do the come up with the factors! How can I trust you with writing the conclusion and finish the project if you can barely start one!"
Silence. That's all he gets as an answer. The anger running through him slowly leaves, being replaced by guilt as Pony see the look on (Y/N)'s face; their appearance is like shattered glass: broken and disassembled. (Y/N) slowly looks up, their eyes boring into Ponyboy's before saying, "You're right. I can't do anything." They grind their teeth together. "But at least I'm trying, asshole," (Y/N) smiles fakely. "So, Ponyboy Curtis, fuck you." (Y/N) stands from their sitting position, marching out the household, slamming the door behind them.
