Sorry that its been so long! I had the worst writters block in history so I say again that I take all suggestions and you may get a chapter dedication if I use your idea! Review PLEASE!!


Darry’s POV:

Soda seems to making pretty good friends with this new girl. All the other guys think she’s pretty tuff too.

We don’t talk much but sometimes I can catch her stealing a glance in my direction. It feels weird thinking about her, since she’s younger than me. I feel like a stalker or something.

But for some reason I can’t get her out of my head. She’s pretty, but there are other pretty girls in Tulsa. I think what really caught my attention was her laugh. She had a really pretty laugh. It just sort of stood out to me…oh God…now I really am a stalker.

I finished all these thoughts while shaving this morning. I had the day off today to go to Ponyboy’s track meet. He’s ranked 4th in the state, the kid can really run. I wonder if Cami will be there…I hope she is.

Soda’s POV:

I invited Cami to Pony’s track meet today. I hope she’ll show up, she’s a really tuff kid…for a broad at least.

Her and Darry act like two 1st graders around each other. It’s absolutely hilarious. She’ll look at him and he’ll look at her then they’ll both look away. I have a hard time keeping a straight face through it all.

I was sitting on one of the top bleachers at the track meet when Cami showed up. I flagged her sown and she sat with Steve, Two-Bit, and me until Darry showed up. Once Dally and Johnny arrived a few minutes before Pony’s race we knew that the gang was all there. We had a few good laughs and then Pony got up to the starting line.

Cami’s POV:

It was really exciting to see Ponyboy run today. We were all sitting on the bleachers when his race went off. He was in the lead right off the bat, but Soda and Darry were watching so intensely you would’ve guessed that they had bets on the race.

Ponyboy won this event as well as his two others. Each time after a victory the whole gang (me included) would go give him a hug or as Dally and Steve would’ve done, a hard clap on the back.

The track meet was dwindling down and Pony had only one event left. I sat in the stands next to Soda and Darry. The relay that Pony was competing in was close. He was the anchor leg (last runner) and was almost up. Everyone held their breath as Pony ran the last quarter mile.

The race was so close I don’t think the runners could tell who was running faster. They rounded the last turn and everyone in the stands stood up. Then it happened one foot crossed the line just an inch in front of the other runners.

Ponyboy won! I was so excited, everyone was a little caught up in the moment and I ended up hugging Darry without realizing it. When we both realized what had happened we broke apart my face a deep shade of red. I looked away and elbowed Sodapop for laughing so hard.

Soda’s POV:

It was the funniest thing that I’ve witnessed to this very day! After Pony won the relay Cami and Darry had shared an unexpected hug. The funniest part was when they broke apart and they were too embarrassed to face each other.

I had a stitch in my side from laughing so hard. Apparently I was laughing a little too loud too because Cami elbowed e in the rib when she saw me. I didn’t hurt or nuthin’ cause I’m more muscular than her but I still got the point and I tried to shut myself up.

After the track meet Darry, Pony, and I headed back to our house while everyone else went their separate ways. I decided that even though I wasn’t gonna get involved in their business, I could still have some fun with Darry’s little embarrassing moment tonight.

“Hey Darry!” I yelled as I walked into the living room where he was sitting in his recliner chair. He looked up at me from the paper he was reading only to roll his eyes at the smirk I was wearing.

He decided to humor me. “What,” he said bluntly. I made a face if mock hurt and then proceeded to torture him.

“I just wanted to know, ya know since you have the most in this field, how do you get girls to just jump into your arms?” I said. He looked up at me with a warning look but I could’ve cared less so I continued, “I mean you and Cami were nearly inseparable…I was debating weather or not to bring out the Jaws of Life.”

Darry set down his paper and got out of his recliner. The smile faded from my lips and I ran for it with Darry on my heels. He caught me and tackled me onto my bed before ruffling up my hair and putting me into a headlock.

“What was that little brother?” he asked as I begged to be let go. After a minute of pure hell he let me go and I fell onto the bed and went dead silent. The last thing he said before he left to go back to his chair in the living room was, “That’s what I thought you said.”

I grinned at his retreating form before stretching out on the bed and waiting for Pony to get out of the shower. Today had been fun.
