this is my copy of The Outsiders, the one i show Ponyboy
Ponyboy looked over the cover of the book. he put it back on the bàn and asked me, "is that supposed to be ME?" he was reffering to the face on the the cover, the one on hàng đầu, đầu trang of all the others; the largest.
"i guess so. i dont really know. i never thought about it, Ponyboy," i said. he looked at me and smiled. i dont know why. he didnt really have any reason to smile. and ya know what? he had a real nice smile. it just made me wanna jump up and down and giggle and grin. he had the same girl-stopping smile that i imagined his older brother Sodapop to have. it was cute and sweet and adorable.
"so," he started. "do bạn have ANY idea how we coulda gotten here, in..."
"you and your Những người bạn are in the năm 2012," i said. "and i really dont know how. i'll have to think about it." Ponyboy's eyes nearly looked like they were gonna fall outta his head.
"2012?!" he exclaimed. people stared at us. i looked at him and put my finger in front of my closed mouth. he grinned sheepishly.
"golly, and i thought bạn were supposed to be a QUIET sorta guy, Pony," i said, and then i smiled. then he said, "thats 44 years after the time we came from!" i looked at him, alittle confused.
"i thought it was 46. didnt bạn come from 1966?" i asked. he shook his head.
"no. we came from 1968, two years after i wrote that paper. maybe thats why bạn think its '66. the...'book' took place in '66 but we came from '68. make any sense?" i nodded. i guess it did.
"so youre 16?" i asked him. but he shook his head again.
"im 15 going on 16. i'll be 16 tiếp theo month." i knew that. i knew when his birthday was. it was July 22. "how old are you?"
"i'm 14 going on 15. my birthdays in August. and isnt your birthday July 22, Pony?" he looked at me...a little creeped out but also pleased.
"yeah," he said. "howd bạn know that?" i sighed and stood up. i walked over to him and took his hand.
"come on, Pony. youre going to my house. theres loads i need to hiển thị bạn online." i hurried him and we walked the long walk to my house.
"what about Dally and Johnny?" he asked.
"we'll get them later," i said. and then i was off in an almost-run.
i walked into my house, thank God no one was home, and plopped down on my computer in the living room. Ponyboy stood tiếp theo me and watched as i quickly typed things in on Internet Explorer. i went to one website that was all about him. "see?" i said. he stared at it, almost wide-eyed.
"whos that?" he asked, pointing at the picture of a boy in the middle of the screen.
"thats C. Thomas, i call him Tommy, Howell. they boy sitting tiếp theo to him is Ralph Macchio. Tommy portrayed bạn in the Outsiders movie and Ralph portrayed Johnny. since people have no pictures of bạn and your Những người bạn cause bạn werent real people, hoặc so we thought, they use the actors pictures for things instead," i said. Ponyboy stared at Tommy Howell curiously.
"well, Tommy looks an awful lot like me," he said. i looked up at Ponyboy and stared at him. he looked down at me.
"hm," i said, looking him over. "he kinda does, i guess. thats good. that means they got a good actor."
"i guess," he said. "now, is this all info about ME?" i nodded.
"yup. your birthday, your interests, your hobbies, bạn appearence, etc. and"--i moved the chuột so on the screen is was bởi the left hand column--"if bạn click on your friend's names they hiển thị up with the same things." he looked at it and said, "hey, theres Cherry's name." i looked down. ew. Cherry. gross. Cherry. that faker, Cherry. i didnt hate her but i didnt like her. i didnt like any girls that were possible tình yêu interets for Ponyboy. they didnt exsist in my world.
"whats wrong?" he asked me. i looked up and put on a fake smile.
"oh, nothing, Pony. dont worry about it. now"--i exited outta that site and went to one called Fanpop. i typed in "the outsiders" into the tìm kiếm bar in the hàng đầu, đầu trang right hand corner and waited for the club to pop up--"here is another site. this is all about the book and movie." i got up off my computer chair and motioned for him to sit down. he quickly did and used the chuột to scroll down. there was pictures and các bài viết and đường dẫn and video and câu đố and a tường that những người hâm mộ could write on. Ponyboy stared in amazment. then he scrolled back to the very hàng đầu, đầu trang of the screen and looked in the hàng đầu, đầu trang left hand corner. i think i knew what he was looking at and i immediatley thought, uh-oh.
"whos PonygirlCurtis7?" he asked me. then he looked up and raised his eyebrows. i blushed.
"oh," i đã đưa ý kiến nervously. "thats just a silly username/screename. everyone on this site has to have one if bạn want to be a part of clubs."
"is this YOUR username?" a small smile played across his lips. i blushed even more.
"yes," i đã đưa ý kiến quietly. he moved the chuột so he could click on the word tiếp theo to my tên người dùng that đã đưa ý kiến "profile." i wish he wouldnt have done that. my thông tin các nhân page popped up and he saw my những thông tin cập nhập and pictures and các câu lạc bộ and my wall.
"you are from Tulsa and your name is...Ponygirl Curtis?" he asked. my face was going to burst into flames. literally. i was really embarrassed. he scrolled down some more. then clicked on "more wall" so he could view my entire tường and looked at the very very bottom; the very first thing i put on my wall. it said, "i tình yêu Ponyboy...i just had to say that..." i quickly lấy trộm, đánh cắp the chuột and scrolled back up.
"alright, Ponyboy, youve had your fun. thats enough," i đã đưa ý kiến nervously. but he put his hand on mine to stop me fron exiting out. it felt really nice. i was about to câu hỏi him when i noticed what he was looking at.
"'Stay Gold. Its a good way to be...'" he quoted. he was looking at my motto.
"oh," i started. "thats my motto. bạn know what i mean bởi that, right?" but ngựa con, ngựa, pony shook his head. then i thought, wait a minute...
"oh, thats right!" i said. "Johnny never died so he never told bạn to stay gold." Ponyboy looked at me questioningly. i smiled. then i said, "youre gonna have to read the book, Ponyboy. it'll make thêm sense once bạn do."
this is the picture of Tommy Howell and Ralph Macchio that Ponyboy an I saw on the first site i showed him
“No you’re too young.” He says, munching on some chips.
“You’re too young too.” Ponyboy says, annoyed.
“But I gotta look after you, kiddo. bạn don’t want to end up like me. Well actually I take that back. bạn do kinda wanna end up like me; a successful sex god.”
“You are not a sex god.”
“Yes I am. Are bạn blind?”
“I obviously have better vision than you.”
Steve tackles Ponyboy, pinning him the ground.
“Take it back, Horseman.”
“Nope.” Ponyboy laughs.
“You better, hoặc I will fucking beat your ass.”
“Ok, ok, bạn have ok vision.”
“Thank you.” Steve says, getting off of Ponyboy.
“Welcome.” Ponyboy mutters.
“You’re alright kid.”
Darry looks at bạn in complete shock. “What?”
“I’m pregnant, and I think we should put the baby up for adoption.” bạn say in rushed words.
He just gives bạn a funny look.
“Money’s tight…” bạn continue. “It wouldn’t be fair to bring up a child like this… And I don’t know if bạn even want it… I’d think it’d be best for him hoặc her.”
“What’s best for our baby is living with it’s parents who will work hard to make a good life for them.” He smiles at you.
Two-Bit kissed your lips lightly and smiled. bạn smiled back at him. "Why are bạn so happy?" bạn asked. "I'm so happy because I have the most beautiful girl in the world laying right tiếp theo to me." He đã đưa ý kiến as he wrapped his arms around you. bạn felt your cheeks heat up. Two-Bit chuckled and bạn laughed along with him. "I tình yêu you." He whispered. "I tình yêu bạn to." bạn answered. Two-Bit rested his head on your shoulder. He whispered about how beautiful bạn were and how much he loved you, up until bạn both fell asleep.
you and Two-Bit <3
