Note: This one if called Ponyboy cuz it's his P.O.V.


I woke the 下一个 morning, and groaned. I really didn't want to go to school but I did. 你 know, I have a new friend now, and it would be a little rude if I said, "See 你 at school," and didn't 显示 up, right? Soda shook me yellin'
"Pony, get up.....school, don't'ch wanna see Babydoll?!?!" I shot up at her name.
"Well, yeah.....she's my only friend at school." I groaned tiredly, wile I spoke.
"Come'on Ponyboy, don't wanna miss the bus...." Darry said, smiling, he was really happy this morning. I jumped up and went to brush my teeth, I got dressed into some blue jeans, and a white t-shirt.
"The bus is here!" Soda yelled, and I garbed my book's, hugged my brothers, and rushed out the door just on time.

On the bus, I couldn't find a place to sit. It was like when laws were against blacks. All the Soc's sat in the front of the bus, and us greasers had to sit in the back. Then I spotted her, and her sister Emma. Her long black hair pulled up in a perfect ponytail. Her brown-violet eyes shining, she looked right at me. When I got close, I saw she wore a skirt, and white t-shirt too. Yesterday she wore jeans and a leather 夹克 with a 粉, 粉色 shirt. Her hair was down in long, but cute curls. Her sister Emma sat 下一个 to her, her dark brown hair, short and scrunched, and her green eyes sparkling. Yesterday it was long, and strait, she wore pj's. I laughed to myself, today she wore, a skirt, and 粉, 粉色 t-shirt. I sat 下一个 to Babydoll,
"Good morning." I greeted her.
"Morning!" She chirped, two Soc's turned around. I sank in the seat. Then it happened,
"Take a picture Soc, it'll last longer!" Babydoll 说 in anger.
"Babydoll, I don't think that's a good idea." I pointed out, she wasn't scared of anything.
"Like 你 could do better...." The Soc snapped.
"I know I can!" Babydoll retorted.
"Oh, yeah....what's your GPA 你 greaser.....?" The Soc, snapped, and I hid my face.
"4.0," Babydoll snapped, I couldn't believe my ears. That's the highest GPA that a high school student can have! And mine was only 3.6, it was the 秒 highest in school; now. The Soc didn't reply so I figured that was it, but then they hit Babydoll out of the blue! I jumped, and she jumped too, but she just jumped onto the Soc. Oh shoot! I thought, and I helped Emma pull her off the Soc, who was screaming,
"Get this crazy girl off me! Stupid greaser!" I wanted to let Babydoll continue to beat 'em up when I heard that, but the scene was getting bad. 由 the time we got Babydoll off, she had a busted lip, and the Soc was almost balllin'.
"This ain't over Hood!" The Soc yelled.
"Good, 你 shouldn't start fights on the school bus anyway!" Babydoll yelled.
"Me?...." The Soc let it drop, and turned around.
"I think I gave her a black eye." Babydoll 说 satisfied. "Stupid Soc...." She mumbled wiping the blood from her lip. She also had blood on her shirt, Emma helped her clean it up.


When we got to school everyone that was on our bus was real quiet, and they stared at Babydoll, she didn't mind though, I think she likes the attention. We could hear whispers of.
"She gave her a black eye," and
"Wow, don't start a fight with her..." Babydoll smiled, and walked into the school under her own power to spite her busted lip. It was amazing how one girl greaser could be so fearless.

At the end of the day, we all walked to the lot. We met Johnny and Dally there.
"Hey Pony, what's up? Who are the chicks?" Dally asked, and Babydoll stared,
"I'm Babydoll, this is my sister Emma." She smiled.
"What happened to your lip?" Dally asked her.
"Asked Ponyboy, if I talk about it-I'll wanna go jump that stupid Soc whore." Babydoll said, and I tilted my head before speaking.
"Well," I began wary. " We were on the bus, and Babydoll got a little loud, this Soc was staring at her. Babydoll told her to take a picture it would last longer, she Soc and her were at it......finally the Soc punched Babydoll, gave her that busted lip. So, Babydoll jumped her, and blacked her eye, me and Emma had to pull her off. And it's her first 日 of school....." I trailed off, Dally's eyes were wide stricken with awe.
"Well, nice to met a greaser girl who's not afraid to fight." Dally laughed, "That is rare."
"Yeah, she's not scared of anything...." Emma mentioned, I chuckled.
"I noticed." Johnny, suddenly stood close to Babydoll.
"Well, 你 can protect me from that stupid Soc Bob," he whimpered. Babydoll laughed,
"Your alright Johnny, alright." Babydoll hugged him, comforting him, he smiled.
"Your a good friend ain't ya?" Dally asked, I nodded.
"She sure is, she almost jumped an other Soc today for pushing me down, but I told her it was fine..." Dally play slapped my arm.
"You shoulda let her beat 'em up Pony." Dally chuckled.
"What, and get the Fuzz on us.....no way, not unless it's a rumble." I said, my eyes serious.
"Alright then...." Emma broke the silence. "Me and Babydoll gatta get home, see 你 guys tomorrow." She waved, and Babydoll stayed behind.
"Ponyboy, thanks for not letting me get in trouble like that...." Babydoll thanked me and kissed my cheek, I blushed. She skipped off, and caught up to Emma.
"Wow-dude, 你 lucky dog!" Dally teased. "Her and that perfect black hair pulled in a nice ponytail. Shoo...."
"Hush up Dally, it's nothing...." I lied, she was really cute, and I liked her.
"Alright, we should go Dal." Johnny said, I looked up, my blush was gone.
"Were 你 going Johnnycake?" I asked, he shrugged.
"Anywhere." He sighed.
"Come stay with me." I smiled, they stood.

We came back at ten-forty five, and Darry had super made.
"You bring Dally and Johnny with you?" Soda asked, I sighed.
"Yeah, sure did, they needed a place to stay." I smiled once more.
"Oh yeah, he failed to mention about the almost two fights at school between Babydoll and this stuck up Soc. He also didn't say he got kissed." Dally teased, Two-Bit and Steve were there.
"What? 小马 got kissed?" Two-Bit asked, I shrugged.
"Ah, it ain't a big deal, it was a kiss, on my cheek; that's all it was...." I pointed out blushing.
"Oh, Ponyboy....who was it?" Darry asked,
"I-It was B-Babydoll..." I stammered. Everyone joked, and teased until 晚餐 was over.
Soda flopped down on the 床, 床上 tired, and restless.
"Night Pony." He smiled, and turned over.I sleep soundly, and a peaceful dream about me, Mom, Dad, Soda, and Darry crossed my mind.
