the outsiders

“Technically speaking, the definition of tough is not cool, but strong enough to withstand adverse conditions or rough or careless handling.” Ross says.

You look in amazement at your boyfriend Ponyboy. Is he really friends with this geek?

Ponyboy smiles and nods, telling you “I know this kid is a frickin insane genius.”

“Well… That’s interesting.” You say.

You look at Ponyboy. “So how much do we have to leave for a tip?” You were at the diner, hanging out for lunch.

“She was a quality waitress, so 20%. We each owe her 1 dollar.” Ross pipes up. He starts to make hand gestures to explain the process.”Since the bill was 15 dollars, we each paid 5 dollars. 20% of 15 is 3… So it’d be a 3 dollar tip, one dollar each.”

You look at him, stunned.

You could not to do math to save your life.

“You should have him along more often.” You whisper to Ponyboy.

You woke up of he teacher yelling at you. "Y/N wake up right now" she said. You woke up and looked up. Everyone was looking at you , including Ponyboy. "Sorry" you said and opened your book to the page she told you. After ten minutes of listening the bell rang. You closed your book and walked out of the class. You walked to your last class. You loved that class cause most your friends were in it. You only had like four friends but it was still fun. You and your friends always sat by each other in the back. You would always get into trouble. The four of you started to laugh. One if your friends threw something at a kids head. "Ladies in the back stop laughing" the teacher said. You stopped for awhile. You other friend would ask stupid questions to make you guys laugh. You were laughing so hard. "Y/N please go to Mrs. Landers room" the teacher said. "Okay" you said you grabbed your stuff and walked out. You walked into Mrs. landers room to see Ponyboy was in there.

"I can't believe you guys are drunk again!" You yelled as you ran out. You're parents were drunk again, you couldn't stand it when they were, or when anyone was because you were scared bad things might happen when people are drunk. You ran as fast as you could until you reached the DX, Steve was standing outside leaning on a car. "Hey Savannah, what happened?" "My parents were drunk again, I can't stand it when they are, I'm just so scared when that happens." "Hey, don't worry, I'll protect you." Steve hugged you and you found your arms around his neck. You guys embraced each other with the glimmering moon light it the background. "Savannah, I'll show you how to fix up cars." He held your hand and brought you to the back of the DX.
