"My girlfriend cheated on me, and I liked you better anyway. Will you be my Minnie?" He asked and backed out of the hug.

"Only if your my Mickey?" I say. He gives me another hug, but this time he picks me up and carries me. When I get out of the hug, I look around at the boys. Not all of them were there. Johnny and Ponyboy weren't there. I just assumed Dallas left like always, but Johnny and Ponyboy wouldn't just ditch me, would they?

"Where's Johnny and Pony?" I asked. Darry looked straight at the ground, and Soda did the same. "Umm... they... umm... ran away..." Soda trailed off.

"What happened?!" I was surprised.

"Long story short, Darry accidently hit Pony, and he ran away with Johnny. We don't exactly know where they are now," Soda explained. We all silently walked back to the Curtis house and camped out in the living room together. No one really talked until morning. I went to my room and got changed into some presentable clothing, did my hair, and put on my cross necklace when I woke up in the morning. I found Darry reading the newspaper and remember Daniella's number. I ran back to my room, grabbed the note with Daniella's number, and went back out to Darry. I slowly approached him knowing he might not be too happy.

"Darry?" I asked nervously. He looked up, and his face kind of lightened up.

"Hey, Sophie, what's up?" He says and hides the newspaper he's reading.

"Can I talk to you outside?" I was excited to give him Daniella's number and give them both a shot. He nodded and followed me outside rolling up the newspaper.

"What's up?" He asked once we got out there.

"I know it's not the best time, but here you go," I handed him the note, and he looked at it confused.

"What's this?"

"That girl you were eying yesterday or actually earlier this morning wanted me to give you her number. She thought you were cute."

He smiled for the first time since yesterday.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. Now, can I see that newspaper you are hiding?"

"Umm...uh...sure."

He hands over the newspaper, and I read just the headline: Teenager Stabbed And Killed Yesterday. It was a picture of the blonde soc that jumped me laying on the ground...dead. I get interested, so I start to read the passage under it:

Teenager Bob Sheldon was stabbed and killed  around 2:20 this morning. His friends that witnessed the murder say that sixteen year old Johnathan Cade and fourteen year old Ponyboy Curtis were the suspects.

I only read that and couldn't believe my eyes. Johnny and Pony wouldn't kill someone, would they?

"What? Where are they now?" I asked.

"I don't know."

"This is a murder, so I know who would know where they are."

"Who?"

"........Dallas Winston."

I am sorry that this is short, but Nicole wanted to annoy her friend, SaraElizabethOG because Sara bothered her. I was just shoved in the middle of this.
