An Outsider ( A Ponyboy Curtis Fanfic)

School? Why?! Part 1

Yesterday all we did was watch Mickey with the gang. Then I got in a fight with Two-Bit and tackled him to the ground in a headlock, till he said 'Uncle'. Which he did, so I won.

I woke up to my alarm clock ringing in my ear. I hated school. I mean I was smart but I didn't like going to school. I mean in this day the only real smarts you need is street smarts. I don't get it but Darry makes me go. If he didn't I would have probably dropped out in 7th grade. Not worth it.

"Wake up. Jasmine it's your first day and I'm driving you, Johnny and Pony to school. Now get up," Darry ordered. I groaned and rolled over in my bed. Causing me to fall to the floor. I heard someone chuckle.

I stood up still tangled in my bed sheets. I walked to the door and closed it. I untangled myself and walked to my closet. it's the first day, I have to make a good first impression as a Sophomore, especially on teachers.

I grabbed a long purple tank-top, light blue ripped shorts, and my black converse. It was still hot out so I didn't want to layer. I got my jean jacket with the sleeves chopped of and slipped it on.

"Jasmine! Hurry up!" Darry yelled from downstairs. "I don't want y'all to be late!"

I grabbed my book-bag filled with; 3 notebooks, 2 pencils, 1 pen, my make-up bag, and gym clothes. It wasn't really full, it was quite a big bag.

I didn't have gym but cheerleader tryouts were also today so I had to bring them. Greasers aren't really cheerleader material, but most of the time I looked good enough to be considered Middle Class.

I ran down the stairs too fast, because I ran into Soda knocking us both on the floor.

"Slow down there, Tiger. Eager much?" Soda joked.

"No, I just wanna get it over with," I said getting off him.

"Jasmine get your butt in this truck before we leave without you," Pony yelled from outside.

I grabbed an apple from the kitchen and ran outside to the truck. I didn't want to be squished inside the truck with Johnny, Pony, and Darry, so I just hopped in the bed of it.

"Lets go grandpa! Drive!" I yelled to Darry. And we were off.

The school was a 5 minute walk from the house so the drive took less than 2 minutes. Pony and Johnny climbed out of the truck and I jumped out of the bed.

"Lets get our schedules," was the first thing out of Johnny's mouth. We walked to the booths for 10th and 11th graders to get their schedules. I looked at mine after I got it.
