"Ponyboy," I shouted and ran up to him. I heard Cherry scoff in my ear but I didn't care; if she wanted to be a snob, she can be a snob, but I would rather die than be called Sherri Valance. I smiled happily. At least I wouldn't be stuck with Marcia and Cherry drooling over some boy, whilst I walked around aimlessly, trying to find something to do. Cherry giggled girlishly and walked elegantly towards the person Ponyboy was talking to. She never walked like that, but I guess she just changed when she wanted to impress someone; but, let me tell you, the only person she was impressing was herself and maybe all the Soc boys, but they weren't here and no one here was impressed including the person she was walking to. I figured this was Soda and instead of falling for Cherry and her stupid walk he just turned to me and I was standing by Pony, whilst putting my bag down next to his shoe.
Soda was incredibly handsome and he looked at lot like Ponyboy except, their eyes were different. He had nice blue eyes, that looked dancing and happy. His hair was exactly like Pone's; greased back perfectly and long dark locks that were fairytale like. He was laughing to himself and his eyes glistening, like they were laughing too. But that isn't possible.

"Got yourself a girl there Ponyboy." Soda chuckled and stared at me and Pony. He smiled kindly and I smiled back. I bet his life was perfect. Even if he was a Greaser. I bet he didn't have parents that argued all the time. I bet he didn't have a house that smelt of alcohol and smoke or a Dad, who would act drunk even if he was sober, just to give him an excuse to talk dirt about you.
Pony shook his head at Soda though and looked back at me. "No, she likes someone else." He winked at me and laughed at my expression and for a minute I wondered if he had told Soda about Johnny Cade but at the sight of his blank face he didn't seem to have a clue.
"Oh she likes Socs." He muttered under his breath and sighed.
I looked at him strangely and decided that I would say something that Cherry and Marcia might gasp at. "No, Soda, he ain't a Soc." I smiled warmly and watched as Cherry and Marcia took no notice at what I was saying.
"He ain't." He looked shocked.
"Nope."
"Of course he ain't. You're as tough as a Greaser and not pathetic like a Soc. You will hang out with Pony and fight for him if someone disrespects him..... Thanks kid."
"Hey I would have taken care of that bum if Zola didn't tell me to sit." He rolled his eyes at Soda, who laughed at what Pone had said and then turned back to the car, that had its bonnet up and it didn't look so great inside of bonnet.
"We better leave him to himself." I whispered to Pony. "That car looks in a bad shape."
He laughed, "Soda's the best at cars so he knows what he is doing and he could do it perfectly, even if you put a whole chocolate cake on his head."
I smiled and then looked off into the distance where there was a store. I guessed this was were you payed in and suddenly, I got an idea. "I'll be back," and grabbing my bag, started to run, fast, so I was positive that Pony wasn't going to follow me, which he didn't.
