Johnny
    I got out of the hospital and by some miracle I can walk. Thought it still sometimes hurts Ponyboy and the rest of the gang understand. Me and Pony avoid the park as much as we can and it seems everyone knows our story some of us love us for being heroes and saving those kids and say they’d never done that but some others hate us mostly the Socs but that’s not really new though maybe their hatred for Greasers has grown. Cherry avoids me and Pony hates it and their relationship doesn’t last very long because of it though I told him it’s fine and I understand. He starts crushing on this girl named Cathy but she has a boyfriend named Bryon he’s alright and Pony and me start hanging out with them and her little brother the hippie M&M as everyone calls him. Not much has changed except for the fact we have to watch our backs more carefully then before because no one wants another as they call it “Johnny Cade incident.” “ Oh just ingnore the suns of bitches Johnnycake their biting more then they can chew with us.” That’s one thing I like about Dally he can be supportive without dropping what he likes to call his Greaser mojo. Ponyboy says “I don’t think that Bryon likes me very much.” “ How could he Ponyboy your crushing on his girl.” He shrugs and he says “ his brother Mark likes me ok.” “ Yea but your not trying to steal his girl.” He smirks and jumps off the hood of the car that Soda and Steve are working on just as some girls pull in and he says “ lets go Johnny.” I think before I would have just kept my mouth shut and gone but I’ve become curious so I ask “ why?” “ Because Tim Shepherds sister has had her eye on me ever since she broke up with Bryon.” “Oh ok.” We walk out and she glares our way and as were walking a we see Cherry who avoids me or Ponyboy or the both of us. But as were almost to Ponyboy’s house where I’ve decided to live for now a girl runs into us. Were both so timid I think Ponyboy almost pulled a blade on her. “ Oh sorry” she says looking up for her book at me. She smiles and I see her light blue eyes and staring into my brown eyes and I know their dull in comparison. Pony stares at her with a go away look. “ I’m Kim” she says holding her tan hand out. “ I’m Johnny” I say extending my dark dirty hand. She then says “ Johnny…. Where have I heard that name?” “ Probably from those no good rotten Soc’s.” “ Oh no I’m not a Soc heck I hate and avoid them I’m what you’d call a Greaser.” “ Yea in those clothes your not.” “ Oh these” she says tugging at her shirt tail “ my brother Larry and a guy named Two-bit shoplifted them for me.” “ Our two-bit?” “ Yea I guess oh yea my brother said something about you killing a Soc” she see’s the look on my face and she says “oh no I’m not judging heck I think some of these Soc’s are nice but the others the world would be better off without them.” “ Nicely said” I say. Ponyboy looks down and smirks and like me doesn’t miss it. “ Damn I’ve gone off blabbing again my mom says I should just shut my trap.” “ Na it’s ok” I say making her smile at me. “ Well Johnny and ...” “ Ponyboy.” “ Well Johnny and Ponyboy I’ll see you around.” She walks past me and Ponyboy chuckles “ Johnnycakes got a girlfriend wait till Dally hears about this.” “ I don’t have a girlfriend and your not gonna tell Dally.” “ Fine fine just don’t tell Soda about Cathy.” “ I wasn’t going to.” “ Gosh I know Johnny I was just teasing.” “ About what” says a voice that is recognizable? “ Dally” I say. Ponyboy hits him in the arm and says “ dude stop doing that I almost pulled a blade on you.” “ Yea yea whatever but what’s this Johnny you have a girlfriend” he asks messing up my hair. “ No she’s just a girl.” “ Do you like her?” “ Yea kinda.” “ Does she like you?” “ Maybe I don’t know.” He chuckles and I say “go find a girl for yourself then I will.” “ Ok ok Johnny boy calm down.” “ I was never uncalm.” “ Yea of course not.” “ I wasn’t.” Ponyboy then says “ wanna go see a movie.” “ Yea” I say hoping to distract Dally. We climb under the fence like always and watch the movie.

Dally
    Damn I thought to myself I need to get myself a girl Johnny has a kind of girlfriend named Kim and Ponyboy has a crush on a gal named Cathy. How I despise the name Cathy. But anyway I’ve been girl hunting till today when I ran into these two pretty girls. One was tall and about 18 just as the other on except the other girl had to be at least 5ft 3 or 5ft 4 while this girl was 5ft 7in. “ Hey ladies” I said. The tall one giggled and the other one just stared and then said “ oh I know you your Dally or Dallas um which one?” “ Dally’s fine with me.” “ Oh I’m Kim” she says “ has Johnny told you about me?” “ Yea.” She smiles and her friend giggles again and I say “ and who is this lovely woman on your right” I say making her chuckle yet again. “ Oh this is Rene” says Kim. “ Well hello Rene I’m Dallas Winston or Dally at your service” I say kissing her hand. Kim chuckles under her breath and says “ hey would you ask Johnny if you and he would like to go to a movie tomorrow with me and Rene?” “Yea sure he’ll probably go is it ok if our friend Pony tags along too?” “ Yea I suppose but he doesn’t like me very much.” “ Huh that’s a change of character its usually me who doesn’t like people.” Rene laughs and says “ I’ll see you tomorrow Dally.” “ Yes you will.” They stroll off with Kim bumping her. I run to Pony’s house and say “ you get a date and be nice to Kim.” “ What’s this all about Dally” Johnny says waking up from a nap on the couch. “ Me and you got dates tomorrow you with Kim and me with her friend Rene we just need to find Pony here a date and get him to at least be kinda nice to Kim.” “ Really Dally me and Kim and you and Rene are going to the movies.” “That’s right Johnnycake.” “ I got a date already so I guess we could swing by.” “With who?’ “ Well I thought I’d give that slime Angela a try.” “ Tim’s sister” I ask? “ Yea.” “Well Ponyboy if your gonna dump her talk to me so Shepherd don’t pound ya.” “Ok.” I’m excited for the first time since Johnny got out and Johnny is too I don’t know about this but then again I was never careful.
