"Went with Danny to meet a friend, be back in a few hours"
Great, I thought crumpling up the piece of paper. What was I gunna do now? So I grabbed a peice of torrada, brinde and headed out the door hoping not to get jumped again. I wasn't even two steps out when I saw a fight break out across the street. I ran over and saw three kids beating up this kid. I didn't know what to do. That's when I found an empty coca-cola bottle lying on the ground and smashed the end off of it. I started to step closer and closer to them.
"Stop it let him go!" I yelled at them.
One of them must have saw me cuz they let go of the kid and started to walk over to me.
"What's a little girl going to do about it?" One of them said to me.
"This," I said running at them with the broken coca-cola bottle in my hand screaming at the topo, início of my lungs.
"Oh shit!" They yelled running away.
I looked at the kid who was on the ground. He was 15 or 16.
"You okay?" I asked him
"Ya this ain't my first rodeo," he said laughing
"Man I hate them, they jumped me yesterday," I said showing him the scar on my back.
"Man you look tough with that," he said
"Thanks, but trust me I ain't that tough." I said
"It's okay" he said
I smiled at him real sweetly. He was a really nice kid.
"I'm Ponyboy" he said
"Nice to meet you Ponyboy, I'm Beka."
"After they jumped Johnny there coming after the rest of us more."
"Who's Johnny?" I questioned
"He was my best friend, got really beat up, he was small, an easy target you know?"
"Ya i know what you mean," I said thinking about yesterday
"Wait what do you mean por he "was" you best friend?" I said
"He died in the hospital after a fire," he said tearing up a bit.
"Sorry 'bout you friend Pony," I said putting my hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay," he said
I got up and started to walk away when I herd Ponyboy shout
"Do you wanna meet the gang?"
"Sure" I said running torwards him
................................................................
As we were walking to Pony's house he kept asking me tons of questions.
"How old are you Beka?"
"12," I told him
"No way your 12!" he said as his voice cracked a little
"Ya I am,"
"Can't belive a twelve ano old saved me, I mean I'm 15 should be able to save myself por now,"
"It's know big deal and can you stop asking so many questions?" I said annoyed
"Ok just one mais please?" he said giving me cachorro, filhote de cachorro dog eyes.
"Fine what is it?"
"Why would they jump a 12 ano old girl?"
"That's what my brother said!" I exclamied telling him why I thought they jumped me.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
When we reached his house we just walked in.
"Yo guys get in here I want you to meet someone!" he yelled
No one came.
"Must be watchin' something good," he told me as we walked into the living room.
A bunch of guys were watchin' a Mickey rato cartoon.
"Didn't ya hear me?" Ponyboy said grabbing the remote off the mesa, tabela and shutting off the T.V.
"Awwww come on Ponyboy that was my favorito part!" A guy in a Mickey rato camisa whinned.
"Hey guys, this is Beka," Ponyboy said introuducing me.
"Beka this is Soda, Darry, Steve,and Two-Bit."
"Hey" I said sitting down on the table
I was shy because these guys looked tough, like the beat you up kinda tough.
"What happened to your throat Ponyboy?" Darry asked him
Darry and Soda are his older brothers. They reminded me alot like Danny and Sherri.
"Got jumped por them damn Socs ," he replyed
"What have I told you about walking alone?"
"Sorry Darry,but Beka here saved me," he said.
"Well then ain't that nice," Darry said smilling at me
"You got that right!" Ponyboy said hugging me
"Look guys little Ponyboy's got himself a girl friend now," Soda chuckled
"Shut up Soda, she's not my girl friend!" Ponyboy said punching Soda's arm
"We gonna have another rumble seguinte saturday aganist them Socs, wanna cadastrar-se Beka?" Two-Bit asked me.
"Sure I ain't afraid to fight," I said trying to act tough
"We gonna beat them Socs like we did last time," He added taking the remote from Ponyboy.
Once he turned it on his eyes were glued to the T.V.
"Wow,wow,wow, wait a sec when did we agree that we were going to fight them again?" Steve said.
"Uhhhh" he said painicing,"It was Soda's idea!"
"What!? No, it was all Two-Bit's idea!" Soda said suprised
"Well I was talking with one of them and they said that they wanted a rematch," Two bit said looking up from the T.V
"Why would they want a rematch?" Ponyboy asked Two-Bit
"Because Dally was there and he wasn't suppose to be cuz he was in the hospital."
"That shouldn't matter though!" Ponyboy said puzzled
"It does little bro,It matters because he was the toughest and they don't think it was fair so thay want a rematch. Now stop asking so many questions!" Darry said
"I have to go home, my foks might be wondering where i am," I said heading for the door.
"Okay i'll walk you home," Ponyboy said walking behind me
"Bye Beka," Soda said punching my arm then russling my hair.
We walked out the door and Ponyboy asked,
"Wanna be a part of the gang?"
"Sure, I'd amor to," I said
And with that we walked back to my house
Later that night, you hear someone in the house. Thankfully Dally heard it too and he was wide awake. He quickley gets out of cama as you follow. You creep down the hallway and peek around the corner.
"Go back to the room," He says as you do what he instructed
You sit on the bed,praying that everythings okay.
Soon, you hear shots from a gun.
Then silence
With the money that I would have gone to college with, and with what Ponyboy had saved, we had bought Soda his horse.
Soda came in, in his plaid camisa and jeans. His jaw dropped. Then he smile brighter than the sun.
He walked over to horse.
“Hey buddy,” he says, smiling, petting his nose.
“It took forever to get him to listen,” Ponyboy said.
“Yeah, I got myself and ornery pony.” Soda grins.
“You happy?” You ask Soda.
He just looks at you, smiles and nods his head.
You had gotten tired of the New Years Party you were at, so you decided to have your own; complete with balloons, champagne, dancing, and the life of the party.
“This is fun,” you laugh as you look up to him.
“Yeah,” he laughs, as he dips you.
“Careful of the champagne, babe.”
“Sorry… Just trying to make things classy.” He laughs.
“You kidding me? This is some high class shit!” You laugh.
He glances at the clock.
“It’s 11:59,” he grins.
“Time for our New Year’s kiss,” you grin as you lean in.
“Not yet!” He yells, moving your face away. “It isn’t midnight yet!”
You laugh, then glance at the clock.
“Well, we missed it.” You pout. “It’s 12:01.”
“Looks like we have to wait a whole nother year.”
He pauses for a second, thinking.
“You.” He finally answers, smiling.
“That’s not one thing.” You roll your eyes and giggle.
“Yes it is. You are you. Without certain things, you wouldn’t be you. If you’re pretty eyes weren’t (eye color), you wouldn’t be you. If you didn’t snort when you laugh, you wouldn’t be you. If you didn’t randomly burst into song, you be you.
If you weren’t nice and sweet and funny, it wouldn’t be (Y/N). The (Y/N) I know, amor and adore.” He smiles as he kisses you on the cheek.
“Really?” You ask.
“Really.”
“Really really?”
“Really really.”
“Johnny how do you think this looks?” You ask, holding up a black dress to you.
“How am I supposed to know?” He groans as he leans on one of the shelves of the department store.
“Well, would I look good in it?” You ask, twirling the dress around.
“You’d look good in any clothes, honey.” He smiles at you.
“Any clothes?” You ask, scrunching your nose.
“But you also look good in no clothes, if that’s what you want to know,” he grins at you like a little kid. “So could you hurry up so I could see my favorito outfit on you?”
