The gunshots roared out, and Dally ran for his life. But it was evident that Dally wasn’t trying to be tuff. It was funny how a boy under the age of 20 could be so ‘tuff’. Dally destroyed whatever he was holding in his hands. Johnny was pretty much the only person who kept him sane, and he was gone too. He concluded that life was pointless as he was rummaging through the shelves of an empty store, the clerk suspicious of Dally’s rash intentions. What did this even mean? Why did Johnny even say that? Dally’s mind was raging with questions as he exited Johnny’s hospital room, leaving a shocked Ponyboy Curtis with the cold body of Johnny Cade.ĭally was thinking fast. Two-Bit chuckled, rubbing his head, and looked out of the window.That was a pretty good way to describe the mind of Dallas Winston after Johnny Cade’s death. “Stop picking on the kid, both of you! Steve, what did we tell you about moving in this tight car for Pete’s sake! Dallas, stop tha- Pony, stop yelling!” Darry pressed the brakes, causing everyone to jerk in their seats. In annoyance, Dallas punched Ponyboy’s side, causing him to holler even louder. “Ow!” Pony screamed, trying to lean as far away from Steve as possible with his elbow digging into Dally’s side. We’d still go with or without you,” Steve retorted, managing to give him a light noogie in the crowded vehicle. Maybe one day when we’re filthy rich,” Darry winked. “How about we go to the party tonight, and the drive-in tomorrow? Can’t promise anything about the road trip, though. Heard that the Tiber Street Tigers were holding a real wild one.” he added, earning nods from Dallas and Ponyboy. “Okay, big spenders,” Sodapop grinned, “I know for a fact there’s a party at Jay’s tonight. “Road trip!” Steve and Two-Bit hollered, high-fiving each other. “Let’s go to the drive-in!” Johnny offered. Steve started cussing at Ponyboy incessantly, causing the rowdy group of boys to laugh even louder than they currently were.ĭarry wiped the tears of laughter from his face, “Alright, so what’s on the agenda for the first day of summer?” He actually laughed the loudest at Ponyboy’s joke, until he realized that the younger Curtis was making fun of him. The gang erupted into howling fits of laughter, even Steve. “That’ll be an issue, Darry.” Ponyboy countered, “Steve’s big head would still be in the way even if he was lyin’ face down on the car seat.” You can do better than tha- Steve, for the love of God, duck your head! I can’t see through the rear-view mirror!” Boyfriend alert.” Two-Bit sighed, sinking as much as he could into his car seat. I’ve had my eye on her for a whi- oh, nevermind. Stop checkin’ out the pretty broads, especially her. Two-Bit raised an eyebrow and let out a chuckle he thought it was quite entertaining whenever the whole gang was together, which was basically all the time. “Takes one to know one, Dar!” Ponyboy laughed, followed by him being flicked in the head, causing even more yelling and cussing to ensue. Complete idiots.” Darry sighed, looking out of the window. “Ow, Soda! Watch it that was my rib!” Johnny cried out, trying to adjust himself and soothe the spot in pain. “How in God’s name can this truck fit seven people?!” Sodapop yelled, trying to make space for himself. “Don’t call me that! You know I hate it, moron.” he snarled as he fell back into his seat. Even Stevie got here before you!” Dally laughed, using the nickname Steve hated. “Where have you been? We’ve been waitin’ for so long. “Summer is finally here! Here’s to girls, fun, and no work whatsoever.” he said to himself, later smirking as he found his six friends waiting for him in a “borrowed” car Ponyboy Curtis, Steve Randle, Johnny Cade, Darry Curtis, Sodapop Curtis, and Dally Winston. He dashed out of the classroom, ignoring the angry remarks of the teacher yelling at him about summer school with the occasional “Tuck in your chair!” speech. He noticed that Ponyboy was long gone from the classroom, and as soon as Two-Bit realized what time it really was, he let out a whoop of triumph and stuffed his books into his backpack. Don’t know how she even has friends, he thought to himself. He cocked an eyebrow as he saw her rush out of the room with her other friends. Maybe you’d actually graduate if you paid some attention in class.” Two-Bit just shook his head, trying to get out of the deep sleep he was oh-so-nicely brought out of. You see, it was the last day of school, and the year went by dreadfully slow according to the whole campus.Ī snobby Soc girl with her nose in the air used her notebook to hit Two-Bit Mathew’s shoulder, “Wake up, grease. The bell signaling the end of last period rang and everybody screamed out in happiness.
