School came along and I was dreading it. I looked like a hot mess, what am I kidding, I am a hot mess! I had a black eye and cuts on my face, everyone is gonna know. At school the attention isn't ever really on me. I'm not an ugly girl, I've had a boyfriend before but I don't do much to really stand out. I put on my baby blue sweater tucked into black skinny jeans that were ripped at the knees and threw my leather jacket on over it with a pair of converse. I arrived to the school a little earlier then usual. It was Senior skip day so Sarah, Sodapop, and Steve all hung at my house leaving me to venture to school alone. I saw Johnny under a tree with Ponyboy smoking. I sat down next to them listening to their daily conversation of the movie they saw at the nightly double. The bell rang and I stood up to walk into the busy hall. I walked by a certain group of boys. They were the popular socs, the ones you don't mess with, unless you're Dally of course. I made eye contact with one of them. He was tall with blonde hair hanging just above his eyebrows. His eyes were dark, but not like Johnny Cade dark, like an evil dark. A dark to scare children at night. Neither of us pulled away and I knew right away, it was him. Chills ran through my body and my face turned pale. Johnny must of noticed asking if I was ok. We walked up the steps and I turned back to look at the group of boys, who now were all staring at me. I tried shaking off the memory but I couldn't. I felt sick all day and by 5th period I had Dally come pick me up and bring me home. I laid down in bed to take a nap when I woke up to ponyboy crawling into bed next to me wrapping his arm around me. I pulled my body into his. "Are you ok?" "Yea I'm fine just a little stomach ache" he told me about his day in school and I tried to sound interested, but really all I could think about were those eyes.
