Long Distance Friends No More

Darry Was Yelling At Me How I Need To Stop Loving Britney Spears So Much Cause It Was "Freaking Him Out" When I Heard

"Knock, Knock" From A Very Familiar Voice. I Quickly Jumped Over The Couch And Ran Straight To The Door, The Person Opened The Door. It Hit Me In The Head And Knocked Me On The Floor.

"KRISTI!" I Yelled

"Pony!" She Laughed

"Fancy Meeting You Here." I Said Getting Off The Floor

She Stuck Her Tongue Out And Said "I Just Came Back From Johnny-Kins House" (Johnny-Kins Was Her Nick Name For Johnny, It Was Some Weird Story How They Came Up With It And I Dont Feel Like Telling You)

"So Are You Visiting Or....?" I Asked Walking To The Couch.

She Followed. "I Moved Back, Just Me. Jamie Was At Johnny's House Too."

"She's There All The Time Too."

"Oh,"Kristi Paused, "You Got A Girl Friend?"

"Nah,"

"Thats Good, Relationships Are Overrated."

"Your Single Too" I Laughed

"Shut Up." She Said Punching My Arm "That Reminds Me..."

She Pulled Out Her Purse Bag Thing. Have You Ever Seen One Of Those Old Movie Things Where The Grandma Has A Big Bag And Everytime She Visits She Gives Her Grandchildren Candy Or A Toy. Kristi Was Kind Of Like That, But What Ever She Had In Her Purse Was Ten Times Cooler Then Anything A Grandma Would Give. ( I Just Compared Her To An Old Grandma :P Haha)

She Pulled Out A Britney Spears Signed Shirt. "My New Daddy Pulled Some Strings."

"Thanks" I Smiled Really Big, The Shirt Said 'Dear Ponyboy, Didn't I Play At Your B-Day Party? How Could I Forget You :P Love Britney Spears XOXO'

We Did Are Old Stuff, Which Involved Annoying Darrel, Making Prank Phone Calls To Johnny's House, And Seeing A Movie.

The Next Day, Johnny, Kristi And I Went To The Place We First Met. Yes, The ZOO! We Forced Kristi On The Camel Rides. They Were Like Pony Rides But They Were Camels. Johnny And I Got To Are Third Ride And We Felt Sick, How Many Times Can You Go In A Circle? Kristi Wanted To Go On Again But I Said "Do You Want Us To Puke?!" She Laughed, But I Was Serious. "Lets Get Lunch!" Johnny Yelled We Went To Are Favorite Place There. It Was Called The 'Jungle Cafe'

Inside It, It Looked Just Like A Jungle. It Was Dark, And There Was A Water Fall In The Middle Of The Place. It Gave It That Smell, I Dont Know How To Describe It.

Then We Saw 'Ranger Joe's Wild Life Show' (Kitty Used To Have The Biggest Crush On Him. He's REALLY Old Looking :P)

The Guy Remembered Us, From The Time An Animal Got Lose And We Helped Catch It...... Haha You Guys Should Of Been There That Day, It Was Hilarious.

We Got To Go Back Stage And Meet All The Animals. The Last One We Met Was My Enemy, Buddy. (Ironic) (Buddy Broke My First Britney Spears Cd, Remember The One I Used To Carry Around)

"Come On,Pony. Hold The Kola Bear." Ranger Joe Insisted. Finally I Gave In And Held Him. He Was Soft And Slow. I Thought Maybe He Wasn't Bad After All. Then Someone Called Me, And My Phone Started Singing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' And Buddy Took It Literally. He Started To Attack Me. He Scratched And Bit. Then I Feel, There Was A Huge Crack And The Bone In My Leg Started Sticking Out. Ranger Joe Got Buddy and Someone Called 911. Kristi Looked Like She Was Gonna Puke She Held On To Johnny, Until We Got To The Hospital. I'll Only Be In For A Few Days.

They Stayed There Till 11pm, Pretending To Be Apart Of My Family. At One Point Johnny Had To Go To The Bathroom.

"Hey Pony?" Kristi Asked Nervously.

"Yeah?" I Thought She Was Gonna Ask Me Something Like, Did My Leg Still Hurt Or Something

"How Long Have Johnny And Jamie Been Dating?"

"Uhh," I Said Caught Off Gard " 4 Months? It's Been On And Off Again.

"Oh," She Sounded Sad.

Johnny Came In Before I Could Say Anything

"Kristi-Kins, It's Getting Late. We Better Get Going. "

"Ok" Kristi Said Popping Out Of Her Seat She Gave Me A Hug "Bye Pony Get Better Soon."

Johnny Said "See Ya Tomorrow Pones."

I Just Wanna Know, Where You Wanna Go

Johnny, Gregory, Argentina (Tina),Kitty, And I Were Invited By Amber To Go To Her Cottage This Weekend. She Was Gonna Invite Her Boyfriend And Some Of His Friends. But They Had Football, And She Didn’t Want To Invite Her Girlfriends. Kitty Came Because Darry Didn't Want Me To Be "Irresponsible." Like Kitty Is Responsible :P It Was Just The 6 Of Us, She Planned A Day Full Of Fun. First We Went Fishing. Johnny Got His Fishing Rod Stuck In Gregory’s Afro. We Couldn’t Get It Out So We Ended Up Cutting It Out, Poor Gregory. Then We Had A Water Gun War. Gregory Got His Pay Back On Johnny During This. XD We Gave Johnny The Little Kid Water Gun. But He Didn’t Seem To Notice, He Even Wanted It. It Had Muffins On It J. Gregory Basically Soaked Johnny With In Seconds, Even Tina Felt bad And Tried To Get Gregory Wet But It Didn’t Work. That’s When He Got The Hose. You Should Of Seen Johnny’s Face. His Eyes Got All Big And He Had A Sad Yodel Face On. Amber And I Sneaked Away And Left Them To Finish There Water Gun Fight. By This Time It Was Around Sunset And Amber Watched It With Me. She’s Really Sweet For A Socs…/Greaser Girl? She Didn’t Have The Attitude Of A Socs, But She Didn’t Act Like A Greaser. I Guess That’s What You Expect, But I Just Had This Weird Feeling. A Good Feeling. Amber Leaned On Me, “You Know, I Never Realized How Pretty The Sunset Was.” She Said
I Smiled And Agreed. The Reason Why She Liked The Sunset Was Different Then Mine. I Never Really Got Anyone To Talk About Sunsets With Me. Occasionally Johnny Or Soda, But That Was It. It Was Pretty Neat. “You Know Pony,” She Said Looking Up At Me “You Have Really Pretty Eyes.” Yes! Finally Someone Likes My Eyes :P Haha Just As I Was About To Reply, A Bucket Of Water Was Dumped On My Head. I Looked Behind Me And There Was Johnny, All Drenched And Shivering Cold. “You Guys Didn’t Get Wet!” He Yelled “It Wasn’t Fair!” Amber Was A Little Wet Since She Was Leaning On Me, But I Was Close To Johnny Wet. Well The Closest To Johnny Wet. We All Got Changed For Dinner. We Roasted Mini Winnies. They Were Really Good. But Tina’s Started On Fire, And She Ran Around In Circles Screaming “It’s On Fire! It’s On Fire! What Do I Do!” She Ran Until The Fire On Her Mini Winnie Finally Went Out.
When It Finally Got Dark Out We Roasted Marshmallows And Made Smores. Yumm :D We Sat On Logs Which Were Pretty Cool. “Burr, It’s Cold.” Amber Said Rubbing Her Arms. I Took Off My Leather Jacket And Put It Around Her. “Thanks” She Said Putting Her Head On My Shoulder. “ Aww,” Johnny Whispered. I Threw My Marshmallow At Him. “Yum” He Laughed
The Next Day Was Full With A Lot More Activities. She Showed Us A Tree House Her Dad Built When She Was Younger. She Had A Zip Line There, And We Must Of Done That For Like 2 Hours. It Was Really Fun. Even Kitty Did It, And She's Afraid Of Heights. Then We Went Rafting. At First Tina Was Against It Because She Heard Rafting Can Be Really Dangerous. But Then Kitty Convinced Her That She'd Be Safe And She Had Been Rafting Before. I Have No Idea If This Is True. But I Didn't Disagree. After Where Done It Started To Rain.

"Good Timing!" Gregory Said We All Ran Inside. Amber And I Watched 101 Dalmatians, Kitty Went 2 Take A Shower And Gregory Was Making A Dinner. Then All Of A Sudden Amber And I Hear Music Blasting So Loud We Couldn't Hear The Movie. We Followed The Sound Into A Room. We Kicked Open The Door And There Was Tina And Johnny Dancing Like Weird Maniacs. When They Saw Us They Stopped. Looked At Each Other, Then Back To Us. Then They Yelled "DANCE PARTY!!!" And Went Back To Dancing. It Wasn't Really Dancing. It Was More Like Jumping Up And Down Waving There Hands Everywhere. Amber And I Decided To Join In. We Looked Like We Were All Crazy, And It Probably Would Of One Americans Funnest Video.

Amber Olive :)

Johnny And I Were Goofing Around In The Mall Like We Always Do. We Were Basically Bouncing Off The Walls. We Pulled An All Nighter With 10 Cans Of Soda Each. (Which Makes Ur Stomach Feel Like It’s Gonna Puke) We Were Messing Around In Some Clothing Store, When I Saw This Girl. “Hey Johnny, Look At That Girl” I Said Pointing To The Girl Who Obviously Worked There. “Yeah, Pony? She’s Reading A Book?” He Said Confused. Honestly I Had No Idea Why She Caught My Eye But She Did. “I Say We Talk To Her.” I Said Walking Towards The Desk Where She Was Sitting. “If You Mean Flirt With Her, Im Out Pones.” He Said Not Moving. “I Never Said Flirt.” I Smiled At Him “I’ll Talk To Her By Myself If You Want.”
Johnny Continued To Bounce Off The Walls And Mess Up All The Clothing. Im Surprised None Of The Works Cleaned It Up, Or Told Him 2 Stop. “Hey.” I Said To The Girl. “Are You Ready To Check Out?” She Said Looking Up From The Book. “No,” I Laughed A Little “What Book Are You Reading?” “Oh, Umm” She Turned To The Cover That Read ‘Death Is Not The Answer’ She Told Me The Title And The Author Just Incase I Couldn’t Read. “I’ve Read That Book For School Last Year.” I Said. “That Must Mean Your Graduating This Year?” She Said “What School?” “Tulsa High. What About You?” She Finally Smiled “Me Too. My Name Is Amber Olivia Knight. Lots Of People Call Me Olive Or Just Amber” She Said “Ponyboy Curtis. Pony For Short.” “I Know Who You Are; I Was In Your Math Class.” Then I Remembered Who She Was. She Was A Lot Like Darry. She Was A Greaser, But She Was A Head Cheerleader And Had A Lot Of Socs Friends. She Was Very Smart But She Refused To Skip A Grade. We Talked A Bit Longer; It Was A Thursday Afternoon So It Wasn’t Busy. “When Do You Get Off Work?” I Asked “I Have A Boyfriend, Robbie Kay.” Robbie Was The Schools Best Football Player. He Was Close Friends with Bob and There’s No Doubt In My Mind That He Helps Him Jump Greasers. “Not Like A Date.” I Replied, “Johnny And I Are Going To The Movies Later. Maybe You Could Come. As Friends.” I Pointed To Johnny Who Was Passed Out On The Floor. She Laughed “Sure, I Get Off Work At 5. We Can Go Around Six.” “Okay, Good Deal.” I Said. She Wrote Her Number On My Hand And I Pulled Johnny Out Of The Store. “Come On Johnny Lets Get Some Muffins Inside Ur Stomach.” He Just Groaned

My Seventyth Post!! ( Brittney And Cherry )

Well, There Are So Many Dates With Brittney I Didn't Post About. I Liked The Picnics That We Went On Cause I Could Watch The Sunset While Eating My Ham And Cheese Sandwich. Turns Out That Brittney Finds Sunsets Very Boring. As I Came to Realize, Brittney And I Had Almost Nothing In Common. She Hated Reading, Sunsets, Track, And School. It Started To Get On My Nerves, She Started To Get On My Nerves. I Realized That I Was Blinded By Her Brittney-ness And That I One Thing That We Did Have In Common Was Movies. We Saw A Lot Of Movies Together. I Knew That I Had To Break Up With Her.

So Today I Got Up And Got Dressed In My Movie Uniform For Work, Ate Cake And Eggs, Then Left For The Movie House. I Took My Time Knowing I Was Early. Me Being Me I Felt Bad About What I Was Going To Do. But I Knew It Would Never Work Out Between Me And Her. I Got To Work On Time And Starting Serving People. I Was Hoping My Sift Seem Long Because I Didn't Want To My Shift To End Because That's When Brittney Would Visit Me. It Went A Little Bit Slower Than Usual But Not As Slow As I Wanted Cause At The End Of My Shift Brittney Was There. "Hey Honey!" She Said Excited. "Hey Brit-Brit." I said Kinda Mumbled.

"Ummm Brittney, I Gotta Tell You Something."

"What Honey Bon?"

" I Dont Think Its Working Out... Maybe We Should.... Break Up?"

" Pony-Wony???" She Said As She Started Crying.

" I Hope We Can Be Friends.."

"..... OK....." And She Walked Off Crying.

I Stood There For A Couple Of Moments Then Decided To See A Movie Called "Spot Comes Home" Which By The Way Is A Really Bad Movie. It Was Darkish Outside So I Had To Get Home Before I Was Stuck Doing Dishes.

I Was Walking Along When I Heard A Scream. It Came From An Alley Ahead And I Ran As Fast As I Could. I Was Surprised Yet Horrified To See Cherry On The Ground Covered In Blood And Bob Standing Over Her With A Blade In His Hand. I Pulled The Blade That Johnny Gave Me To Carry Around, Darry Doesn't Know About It Yet.... "What You Gonna Do With That Little Guy?" Said Bob. " I'm Not Afraid To Use It!" I Shouted At Him.

"Yea? Then Bring It."

I Went For Him With The Blade But When I Got Close He Knocked Me Down And I Fell Hard To The Ground. He Stepped On My Chest Really Hard And I Just Laid There. "Now To Finish You" He Said To Cherry When He Turned Around. I Found A Empty Beer Bottle Near Me On The Ground And Picked It Up And With All My Strength I Had Left I Got UP And Smashed It On His Head. He Fell To The Ground Unconscious. I Helped Cherry Up And Ran A Few Blocks Until We Were Sure We Were Safe.

By This Time Cherry Wasn't Bleeding Too Much, So I Just Walked Her Home.

"Thank You SO Much Pony. You Could Of Saved My Life." Cherry Went On About How Bob Was Drunk And Mad About There Break Up And She Didn't Know What He Was Going To Do. When She Finally Finished Talking We Where At Her House. "Listen Pony, Im Sorry I Caused You So Much Trouble. I Feel So Stupid Ignoring You In School, Cause I Really Do Like You." She Kissed Me.

"Uhh" I Wished I Had A Take 5 Bar Or Something So I Had Time To Think On How To Get Outta Here. "Darry Is Gonna Kill Me If I Come Home Any Later. Im Already Late. Bye!" I Said Running Off.

"I Love You Pony, Your My Hero!!" Cherry Said Yelling As I Left.

P.S. This Is My 70th Post!! Haha! I've Been Here A While :P

Popcorn, Movies, Work, And Britney

Normally I Work The Morning Shift But They Needed Someone To Work The Night Shift Because Someone Called In Sick. We Had A Such A Crowed And I Had No Idea Why..... Well Maybe Because It Was A Friday Night. It Finally Started To Slow Down, And I Was Thinking,'Im Glad I Normally Don't Do The Night Shift.' Then I Had Someone In Line For Popcorn. She Was Telling Me How She Thought She Was Stood Up And How She Knew This Guy Would Be A Jerk. I Had No Idea Why She Was Telling Me All This Stuff. She Told Me She Was Waiting For An Hour For Him. I Looked At Her As I Handed Her The Popcorn. She Looked Like Britney Spears.....Well Young Britney. "Britney?" I Said In Shock. "How Do You Know My Name?" She Said Looking A Little Scared. "You Look Like Britney Spears!" I Said A Little Loud. She Laughed "I Get That Every Now And Then." She Smiled "Since You Know My Name I Wanna Know Yours." I Frowned, Not The Name Thing Again. "Ponyboy Curtis" "Really?" She Said Looking At My Name Tag "Indeed" I Said She Smiled "I've Never Heard That Name Before, I Like It" I Smiled Back And Said " I Get Off Work In A 1/2 An Hour, You Wanna See A Movie With Me." "I'd Love To." She Replied. Long Story Short, I Got A New Girl Named Britney. Not Britney Spears, Britney Taylor Williams. And Surprisingly, She Loves Brit Brit Too, Not As Me, But She Does.

"All Work And No Play" (Has Nothing To Do With My Post But I Forgot The Quote I Wanted To Use)

I Got Up About The Same Time I Normally Do. When Darry Pulls Me Outta Bed. I Finish My Eggs First And Was Beginning My Peice Of Cake. Darry Was Openning Bills. Something He Normally Does At Night But For Some Odd Reason He Wanted To Read Them This Morning. "Pony How Old Are You?" He Mummbled Without Looking Up. I Cant Belive Darry Doesn't Remember How Old I Am! "16, Darry. I Am 16." I Said Shoving The Chocolate Cake In My Mouth So I Wouldn't Yell At Him And Get In A Fight Like We Used To. "I Think It's Time You Get Job." He Said Taking Off His Reading Glasses. "I'm Looking For A Summer Job, Darry. You Know That." I Said Finishing My Cake And Putting It In The Sink For Kitty And I To Wash. "No, I Mean Like A Part Time Job. All Year Round." He Said Standing Up And Putting His Dish In The Sink. "I Gotta Focus On School Darry. Im Not Planning To Drop Out Like Soda." I Started To Wash The Dishes "Make Kitty Get A Job." Kitty Gave Me The 'WTF' Look. "You're 16. A Party Time Job Wont Kill You Or Your Grades." He Said Not Even Concitering The Thought Of Kitty Getting A Job. "Darry This Aint Fair." I Began To Argue. "You Wanna Know Whats Not Fair Pony?! They're Cutting My Hours! So We Can Either Move Or You Can Get A Job." He Yelled While Slaming His Fist On The Table And Went To His Room To Get Ready For Work. "I'll Finish The Dish." Kitty Said. I Could Tell She Was Shucken By Darry Yelling. "You Should Get Looking For A Job." I Handed Her The Dish I Was Working On And Went To My Room To Get Dress. I Tried To Look Good And Not SO Much Like A Greaser. But Thats Hard To Do When All Your Clothes Are Hand Me Downs. I Told Kitty I'd Just Look Around And Try To Find Help Wanted Signs. I Wanted To Work At McDonals So I Went There First. There Was Not Help Wanted Sign So I Went Inside To Ask. I Thought This Would Be A Great Job And I'd Be Able To Suggest Britney Spear Toys In The Kids Meals. But Sadly They Didn't. I Looked Everywhere For A Job I Could Do. It Was Getting Close To 5 And I Was About To Give Up And Hurry Home So I Didn't Give Darry Another Reason To Yell At Me. I Stopped Into The Movie House When I Relized. They Had A Huge Sign. HELP WANTED In Big Red Writing. They Interviewed Me Right Then And There. And Si, I Got The Job. It's Pretty Cool. I Work The Morning/Afternoon-ish Shift. And I Get All Kind Of Cool Benifits Like Free Movie Tickets And Popcorn.
