I woke up to the smell of bacon
When I opened my eyes I was on the couch
I sat up
"What's is today?" I asked I said it was hard to talk
"Tuesday" Soda said
"What time?" I asked
"7:30" he said
"I'm late" I said
"No your not, your goin back to school tomorrow" he said
"Why?" I asked
"Your temperature was 101" Soda said
"W-What!" I said
"Last night we woke you up two-bit told us your forehead was hot and we took you temperature" he said
"I don't remember" I said
"Yeah you were out of it, you where tired" darry said
"Wheres pony?" I asked
"At school" Soda said
"Oh" I said
"Get some sleep" soda said

-next day-
I put all my school stuff together I went to school I walked to school thinking about, the boys Johnny on my mind a lot dal to but I thought about Johnny a lot how quite he always was but he was always where with us
And dal liked to joke around he was a bit scary but he was out buddy I wasn't bad god I wished I had stayed I would have spend more time with Johnny if I didn't leave and what if Johnny hadn't been hurt badly would dal still be here he would be, It was only a matter of time we'd have a death but not so soon god he was only 16 years old
"Where you been Greaser" someone said
I looked up
"Your friend, killed my buddy your gonna pay"he said
I stood there almost lifeless
He grabbed my shirt
"I've been in fights, Been hurt by Socs, I was in a god damn rumble, if you think your little ass is scaring me it ain't worken I'd move you ass before you say some stupid ass thing that will get your ass killed" I said
He put me down
"You better watch your mouth" He said
"No, You better watch yours because I got some strong as fist who are just waiting for someone" I said
Before he could say anything I left for class
After school I went to sodas work
"Hey soda" I said
"Hey" He said
"How was you day?" I asked
"Good, yours?" He asked
I told him everything that happened I did my
Homework
"Soda" I said
"Yeah?" He asked
"You probably don't wanna talk about it, you don't have to answer, but why did sandy say no?" I asked
I felt he was looking at me I wasn't lookin at him

I sighed I put my stuff away I laid on two chairs
"Felling better?" He asked
"Yeah" I said
