Ponyboy's POV

After being in the hospital for a the day and over night, I was released and got in Darry's car. "I was worried about you Pony. Don't get yourself in that situation ever again." Darry says. I thought I was dreaming because Darry cares about me? Since when? "You were?" I ask. "Of course I was. Don't think that I'm mean to you, it means that I don't care about you."

I had that sudden realization. "Oh..."

I looked out the window out of boredom. A lot of bruises were still visible. The ones on my face weren't so bad except the black eyes. Both my eyes yup. Whatever. I got distracted by the bruises on my arms. They were purple and red some were even yellow. I liked having bruises though because they are fun but not this much it just hurts. I roll down my sleeves and tried ignoring them for now.

Darry made it to the house. He gets out. I opened the car door from my left. When I got out, I fell. I screamed slightly. Darry quickly helps me up. He just carries me. There was literally nothing broken but the pain in my legs prevents me to stand up sometimes. I guess I have to be replaced on the track team now. He places me on the couch. I sat up.

Steve was sitting next to me. "That's what happens." He says. I roll my eyes. "I'm dying." I fell on the ground. "You're overreacting." Then I just giggled. It made Steve smile but he left so I wouldn't see his smile. He went to Sodapop who was in his room. The door closed...

I sighed. I got up and tried walking to go to the fridge to get a root beer. I sat back down on the couch, drinking my root beer and watching cartoons. I enjoyed the time until I finished my root beer. I got up to get more but we ran out. "Damn." I said. Darry turns over to me. "What, we ran out of root beer for you?" He asks. I nod. "I'll get more on my day off."

I decided to go to my room and I laid on my bed and winced. I didn't get to go to school today while the others did. Curly didn't even try to see if I was in the hospital or not. I was pissed. I don't get him. He was so nice to me in the beginning. I can't believe I said that he was nicer than Dal. I was so upset now. Yesterday Curly just pushed me to the ground and it was a terrible day for me. I can't have freedom being with him.

I didn't want to break up with him because I was still in love with his nice side. Like, maybe he just had a bad day right?

Dally's POV

I went to Geography class and sat on my desk. I had this class with Curly and I just was mad at him for everything. I sat next to him this time. "Hey." Then he looks at me. "What." He asks rudely. "Did you know what happened to Pony?"

He shook his head. "Are you kidding? He had to go to the hospital because of our people." I told him. He didn't look a bit shocked. "Oh." He looks at his shoes. "Oh? OH????" I whisper-yell. The bell rings and I went back to my seat. I gave him a look and he gave one back. The teacher, Mr.Peterson, then started to give us information on what we're gonna do today. "Okay kids, today we'll be getting partners and I'll give you a country from Europe. You have to write about it and turn it in by Friday next week.

I looked around to who my partner would be. "Calm down. I'm choosing partners." Mr.Peterson got a basket full of our names. I prayed to god that I don't get paired with the psycho. I even crossed my fingers. "Please, God, don't do this to me right now." I ended it with an amen if praying even works like that.

"Dallas... you're partner will be...." He starts and I held my breath. "Cherry!" He finished and my heart's sinks. Not Cherry. "Oh wait she's not here today." He continues to pull a name out and I continued praying. "Seems like you're partnering up with Curly Shepard! Aren't you guys friends Dally, don't be depressed about it!" He tells me and says we had to do Italy. He tells others their partners.

I walked and sat next to Curly.

The whole day was us working together. But we weren't working together. He was doing nothing while I was looking Italy up on the computers. He was just fidgeting with the zipper on his jacket. I didn't care though. At least he isn't bothering me.

Filler chapter.
