Chapter 2.1 Meeting The Gang

So here's chapter 2! In this you kinda meet the whole gang, but you meet Soda and Darry first. And you give them nicknames obviously hehe. Hope you enjoy! Also y/b/s is your best subject

Pony and I walk for a couple minutes talking about homework and life in general.  When we reach their house he looks at  my face and does a double take. "Jesus Y/N! I didn't notice in the dark but your folks got you bad!"

I scoff. "Yeah thanks buddy." He gestured for me to follow. Their house looks a little beat up, but it looks cozy. I decide that I quite like their house. "It ain't much but it's home. I know it's not what you're used to." I smile at him saying," No worries Pony, I quite like your house, it looks quite cozy. And it sure is better than the times I've slept on the floor in my kitchen." 

He looks at me a bit sadly. "I'm sorry about your parents by the way." I shrug, then put my arm around his shoulders. "It is what it is man, you've just gotta make the best of it."  We walk inside and I'm greeted by the smell of chocolate cake, beer, and cigarette smoke. Damn that cake smells good.  I see a guy about my age, dark blonde hair, and blue eyes. He's watching something on the television and doesn't notice us at first.

"Hey Soda," Ponyboy finally speaks up. He looks at us, a little surprised. "Jeez Pony! You scared me half to death. Where have ya been? Oh and who're you? His girlfriend?" From anyone else it would've sounded rude, but from.. Soda? well it just sounded like a genuine question. Pony flushes. "Soda! No she's not my girlfriend. She needs a place to stay. And I was at the movie house." Soda nods. "What happened to y'all anyways? You're all bruised up. Did you get jumped?" I shake my head.

 "Nah. Well Pony did, but I kinda scared them off. And as for me, it was my folks. And I'm Y/N Smith." His eyes widen. But then another person, who looks around 20 walks in from another room. "You got JUMPED Pony?!" He backs up looking a little scared. "Pony come on! You could've asked some one to go with you, or- or at least carry a switch!" Pony looks at the ground. "I'm sorry Darry." 

He just sighs. "Anyways thank you Y/N for saving him. And uh that lip looks pretty bad. And you've got a bunch of bruises. I'll get the first-aid kit. Come on Pony" They head into another room. Soda looks at me again. "You're THE Y/N Smith?! Wait aren't you a Soc? And how do you know Pony?"

I give him a look. "Slow down dude. And yes I am Y/N Smith, I was a Soc, but I hated being one, so many people are fake and I ran away. And I know Pony because we have three classes together. What's your name anyways?" He blinks. "Wow. Ok then. And my name is Sodapop." I furrow my brow. Where have I heard that name before? 

"Oh you work down at the DX don't you? With Steve and Leo?" He looks surprised that I know that. But he nods. "Yeah. You know Leo?" I scoff. "Of course I know Leo, he's my best friend. But he's on vacation so I can't go to his house." I yawn, suddenly tired. Sodapop looks slightly alarmed and makes me sit on the couch. Then Darry and Ponyboy come down with the first-aid kit, and I guess Darry already helped Pony with the bruises and the small cut. He hands it to Soda and says to me, "You can stay here for as long as you need. I'll let Pony sleep in my room, you and Soda can share if that's okay with you." 

I glance at Soda, who seems fine with it so I agree. "Yea that sounds good. Thanks Darry." He nods then heads up to sleep. "Hey Y/N , do ya think you could help me with some homework?" Ponyboy tries to break the awkward silence. I nod. "Yeah sure, I'm just going to get changed and cleaned up, so I'll be back in a few. Could I use your shower?" He nods grimacing a little as he looked at my bruises again. "Yea sure. Soda could you show her?" Sodapop nods and leads me to his room while I drag my bag with me. "Uh here's the shower, and if you want you could change in the closet instead of our room." He tosses me the fist-aid kit and heads back to watch some T.V. I guess. 

Slowly I strip off my clothes and step into the shower. The water ran down my body, washing away blood and sweat. I quickly clean up and wrap a towel around my middle. Then I head into the closet, and put on my PJ's. Well they were plaid pajama pants and a plain black t-shirt but whatever.  I comb my hair quickly and head down.

"Hey Ponyboy, which class do ya need help with?" He looks up, jumping a little. "Jesus Y/N how are you so quiet? Anyways I need help with y/b/s." I sit down beside him grinning. "Well good thing that it's my best subject. 

We work on the packet and finish it relatively quickly. I glance up at the time, yawning. "Well I'm going to sleep now Pony. Goodnight!" I wave at him and head to Soda's room. He's sleeping on one end of the bed, facing the wall, so I slip in next to him, trying to keep some distance. Slowly sleep over takes me and I drift off.

Hope you enjoyed! I promise I'll update soon, not that anyone reads this ahaha. I decided to make this three parts, idk why. anyways.. Stay Gold People!! 💛
