Unexpected

Chapter 3

Curly's POV

I walked over to where Ponyboy's room was. I wanted to see if he could go out again, maybe go and see who could climb a tree faster or something. I peaked in only to see that he was asleep. I sighed softly, then turned and walked away.
I started walking over to Buck's. Tim was there tonight,so I'd be able to keep myself out of trouble for awhile, then he could drive me home if he wasn't to drunk or hadn't found some chick to take upstairs. I'd just have to steal his keys off him then. Hope that I didn't wreak his car on the way home. Or I could go to the drive-in. It wouldn't surprise me if Angela was there with her friends or some guy. But then I made up my mind. I turned and started to walk home. If dad was there, then so what.
I opened the door and immediately regretted my choice. Dad stood up from his spot on the couch, anger written into his facial features. He looked so pissed off, and I just froze. But then, he seemed to calm down.
"Hi son," he said. His voice seemed nice. I waved a bit.
"Dad I'm real tired... I'm gonna head to bed. And before you ask, I walked over to Dairy Queen and ate dinner there. Also, I have to re-dye my hair tomorrow. People are starting to notice something's off."
He looked at me like I was insane. That told me that I wasn't dying it again. Which meant that I'd go back to being blond. Fun.
I let out a long sigh, then went to my room, softly closing the door behind me as to not get yelled at. I get yelled at by him when I get to go to the station, so I don't need anymore of that at home. I plopped down on my bed and closed my eyes. Hopefully tomorrow I'd be able to see Pony again.

I'm sorry about how short these are so far. I really am. I'm hoping I can make the next one longer.
