The Outcast

Chapter 8

After all the running and climbing we did I was exhausted, I quietly opened the door knowing it was really late thinking everyone would either be sleeping or a few up. But I was shocked when I saw everyone sitting in front of the Tv "Hey.." Jason said quietly Darry stood up " What were you too thinking?!" He shouted " Look!" He pointed to the Tv.
A women was interviewing Cherry the redhead " Could you describe the two suspects?" Reporter said Cherry nodded she told them out names and gave a rough description of me and Jason slightly changing details. The reporter thanked Cherry and turned to the camera " the two victims were Robert Sheldon and Victor White.. Both have been injured badly Mr Sheldon has Stab wounds and Mr White has Broken ribs and gashes , according to the medics Back to the studio" then it turned to the studio a middle aged man with a grey clean suit sat with another man who looked like a detective? He was young " Mr Stewart you've been keeping records of incidents like these?" The middle aged man asked Mr Stewart " yes and  I know very well one of the suspects is ... Gloria Everett" I grinned would you look at that I'm known I looked at Jason he smiled back and we high fived " Gloria Everett is a very Dangerous person She's a very well known criminal from Chicago, Just show you all how Dangerous she is I would like show you Recordings of her I have been given these by Chicago police " Mr Stewart said glaring into the camera lens My smiled widen I wonder what they gonna show? Soon a black and white clip was shown of me when I was 9 breaking into a store holding a gun up to the owner, I remember this My parents were running out of money and we couldn't afford rent even with their jobs and all the stealing they did so I took matters into my own hands and stole $500 of course my parents were proud we were all hoodlums . " If you are squeamish please look away " Mr Stewart voice was heard my smile disappeared as the next clip was shown this one recent, it was a couple months ago it was my gang  Cap , Bull, Martha , Ben , Sarah and me Best friends we were. It showed us circling Two rich looking people who were obviously scared you could see them shake there was no audio but you could guess what was being said . The clip kept going it showed us beating the two rich people and talking anything worth taking then it ended just as Bull brought at a switchblade. I stood up I couldn't deny it it was true " Did those two people die?" Pony asked you could hear the pain and fear in  his voice " yes" I had my back to them " Its in the past you can't change it I know very well" Dally said I let out a sigh sitting back down " Gloria I know this is the worst time to tell you this... but I'm gonna go out of the state to stay low for awhile " Jason said I was caught of by this but I understood why " Its fine... don't worry I understand " He looked genuinely sad " oh okay well I better get going hopefully I'll see you again soon" He smile weakly before turning and walking out the door , I just sat there " you okay?" Johnny said his hand just hovering over my shoulder " Yea of course I am I mean got my face alll over the news " I grinned everyone seemed cheer up now " hey isn't it poker night?" Steve said Soda quickly got up , grabbing the cards from the coffee table and going over to the small table in the corner steve and two followed " Pony if you have any homework I suggest you do it" Darry said grabbing the newspaper Pony nodded and him and Johnny headed into the room so he could study , Dally was already grabbing drinks I got up heading into Ponyboy's room opening the door " hey pony got any paper and a pencil i can borrow?" I asked he nodded and grabbed me some paper and a pencil " what you gotta do with it?" Johnny asked I smiled " draw When I was in school I was majoring in art " I replied closing the door and walked into the kitchen I sat down looking at the The scene in living room Soda, Steve , two were huddled around a table playing poker Soda trying to slip out an ace Dally standing over watching drinking a beer while Darry sat on his arm chair reading. I started drawing the scene starting with the faces making sure I was getting as much detail as possible it was hard since they kept moving except darry he was like a statue a very muscular one , I don't know how long passed I couldn't stop thinking about what was shown on the news I mean the gang seem to not mind I was even Comfortable admitting, I was annoyed at Jason leaving like that though.  but I mean he's just got out he can't risk getting thrown back in I let out a sigh as I finished the drawing, I stretched my arms out before starting another one except this time focusing on Darry since he's the only one staying still I was about halfway done I captured his face perfectly he always had a Stern look . As I looked up to make sure I got everything accurate " I know you've been looking at me Gloria" Darry Spoke not even glancing up from the paper everyone looked at me " oooooo has Gloria got a crush on Darry?" Two-bit shouted I let out a chuckle " as much as I like looking at muscles I don't have a crush on anyone " Darry got up walking over to me " You been drawing?" He asked leaning over the table " yea" I said proudly he quickly grabbed the drawings " Heey I'm not done !" I whined reaching up for my drawings Darry held them up above his head walking back into the living "Let see" Dally said as darry stood the rest of the boys huddled around looking at the drawings " Hey Gloria since when did you draw you're really good" soda exclaimed looking at me " Majored in art before I dropped out" I grinned strolling over " yea real good Think we keep these" Darry said setting them on the coffee table pony came out the room with Johnny trailing behind " Darry I don't understand this question " he said shoving his jotter into Darry hand. he stood quietly   reading over the question " sorry pony even I don't get it" pony let  out a sigh "  does anyone know?" Everyone shook their heads I took the jotter from Darry out hands accidentally touched for a second, I read the question it was a math question , I wasn't the best at math but I could rough guess what it meant , I grabbed the pencil and quickly started writing down notes on ponys jotter " Hey what you doing?" He said I wrote down the formula then handing him back the jotter he quickly read over the notes he looked up and smiled " I get it now thanks gloria" he said going back into the room everyone looked at me " what just cause I dropped doesn't mean Im completely dumb" I laughed jumping down on the couch " I just thought you were good at being a broad" Dally said great back to being an ass " Dally what do you even do when gang aren't with you? Do you just try fuck any broads or something since you can't actually get a proper girlfriend?" I shot back smirking dally just stared " I have an idea soda two-shit come'er" I said moving back into kitchen " Hey whats with the name how come I get one and soda doesn't " Two complained following me into the kitchen with soda " cause Soda cute" I answered Two look offended soda just smiled his cheeks going a little red " okay, I was thinking we could do a performances" I whispered Soda grinned I began explain what we were gonna do , basically reenact 'Nancy Sinatra - these boots are made for walkin' I hurried the both of them into the bathroom while I quickly grabbed spare boots and  short dresses I had when I walked back into the bathroom both of them sat in the boxers " Jesus you two stripped already " I said handing them a dress and pair of boots each " Oooo whats going on in their?" Dally said outside the bathroom " nothing now shoo" I helped soda get the dress on it ripped slightly as he pulled it down over his shoulders same with Two.  once we were all dressed I made them turn around while I got dressed as well it was kinda of awkward Soda was wearing a bright red dress that just passed his thigh , Two had a dark green one that just passed his ass they both wobbled in the heeled boots but quickly got hang of it " so you know the dance and the song?" I said " we know song just not the dance" I sighed and began show them how to the dance after maybe 30 minutes they got it " stay here " I quickly exited the bathroom and went into the living were the recorder was as I walked passed dally as he  wolf whistled, Pony and Johnny were also in. This is gonna be perfect I thought I started the song on " come out" Soda and two walked out " What on earth are you doing ?" Ponyboy said " looking good soda " Steve shouted " you too two-bit" Johnny said as they all laughed

"You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best

These boots are made for walking,
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'
Now what's right is right but you ain't been right yet

These boots are made for walking,
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt (HAH)
I just found me a brand new box of matches (YEAH)
And what he knows you ain't had time to learn
These boots are made for walking,
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

Are you ready, boots? Start walkin'"

Both boys dance really good actually I knew the dance of by heart since me and my mom dance a lot to this.
We all were out of breath it was a lot harder then it seems to dance in heeled boots everyone started clapping " beautiful " dally said pretending wipe a tear from his eye " oh god get these off me!" Soda and two said kicking the boots off , I chuckled as I remembered how short twos dress was " Hey two" I said just before he turned around I quickly Slapped his ass as hard as I could he let out a yelp  "Great ass 10/10" I laughed Two just glared at me rubbing where I slapped him "that's to make up for earlier when I gave you a mean name" I said jumping on couch landing on Johnny, Pony and dally my head was on Johnny lap " hey Johnnycakes" I said Soda and two had already taken off their dresses putting back on their normal clothes " Darry, Gloria bullying me" Two faked cried hugging Darry He just shrugged two off " wanna get off me" Dally barked I ignored " who wants watch a film !" Steve said " me!" We all said in sync , after spending 10 minutes deciding what film watch we decided watch a Horror . Absolutely love horror we had all lights turned off and were about 30 minutes into the film I was sitting in between Ponyboy and Johnny now dally was sitting between my legs back against couch steve and soda were sitting eating cake , Darry still sat in 'his' chair while Two sat wrapped up in a blanket.
Johnny and Pony were practically crushing me with hugs . It was getting to a tense part in the film everyone was on edge . Johnny hid behind his head in crook of my neck as pony and two let out a scream Steve dropped some cake as soda fell back , Darry was sat up looking at tv , Dally was slightly tense he had a grip on my leg it was practically crushing it. All of this because of a jump-scare I let out a laugh " it ain't funny that was scary" Soda said sitting up , we continued watching the film whenever a jump-scare happened Johnny would hide pony would scream and dally would crush my leg I eventually fell asleep I don't know how with all the screaming but I did.
