"So, what are ya doin later, little girl?" asked Two-Bit. I notice Ponyboy and Johnny giving him a look. I scribbled, 'nothing. Why?' on the notebook that was now covered in my sentences. "Wonderin' if ya wanted to come on over to Pony's place later and meet the gang." 'Gang?'
"There nice people, um... We never got your name?" said Ponyboy. He was standing in front of me and Johnny and Two-Bit was behind us. I quickly scribbled 'Christine' larger than the other words and held it up. Johnny had to lean forward to see it because I held it out so Ponyboy could see. Two-Bit was trying to lean over the fence to see it.
'Christine?' asked Ponyboy. I nodded meekly, looking at the ground and lowering the notebook. Then I felt someone ruffle my hair. Their hand was heavy. I looked up to see Two-Bit grinning down at me. I smiled back.
"Can I see your notebook and pen?" he asked and I handed him them. I watched him write something down and hand them back to me. I looked at it. He had very messy handwriting, worse than my own and he had an address written on it that was circled and directions to get there. Quick instructions. Just street names and left or right. "Go there at four. Ok, Chrissie?" he asked with a goofy grin. I nodded.
It was getting close to four. I pulled on a clean pair of jeans, carefully over my bad leg. They were a bit big on me, but not that bad. I pulled on a long sleeve sweatshirt that fully covered my upper body and arms and tied a black ribbon in my hair to hold it back.
I quietly snuck out of the house, gripping nervously on my crutch. Once I stepped out side, I bumped into someone. Slowly, I looked up, terrified that I had been caught but I saw Two-Bit grinning down at me, and I couldn't help but to smile back.
"Hey. Came to walk you over, little missy." Two-Bit grinned wider. He took a good look at me. "Why are you wearing that sweatshirt? Its kinda big." Again, I pulled out my notebook from my back pocket and wrote, 'It's my only sweatshirt. Should we start going to Ponyboy's'
"Alright." Two-Bit took my crutch, I gasped and tried my best to stand up, but I was wobbling terribly. Two-Bit, with his other arm scooped me up and started to walk away from my house. "Hey, Johnnykid, Pony, I got her. We can go. I heard him say. I looked over and saw Johnny and Ponyboy looking at us.
"Man, girl! How much do ya weigh?" asked Two-Bit, after a moment or so of silence. Ponyboy glared at him.
I hastily wrote '70 pounds. Do I weigh too much?'
Two-Bit screeched to a stop. "70 pounds?!" By then, my ears and face were really warm. "You're kidding right?" I shook my head. He whistled. "Man, Darry'll be surprised. He'll feed ya, girl." Two-Bit started walking. No one said anything for the rest of the walk, but I know Ponyboy and Johnny were looking at me. Why did I tell them? Why couldnt I have lied? Or kept quiet? I gripped Two-Bit's shirt tighter and covered my face in it.
"Hey, Chris, we're here. I'm going to put you down." Two-Bit sat me down at the top step of the porch and Ponyboy handed me my crutch. Ponyboy? I didnt realize he had it. I smiled at him, a silent thank-you and he smiled back. Him and Johnny helped me stand up and get into the house.
"Darry! Were back," said Ponyboy, as he led me to a spot on the couch and took my crutch and leaned it at the end of the couch.
"That was quick. The boys arent here yet," said a teenaged-boy as walked into the room. He pulled on a white T-shirt. His eyes found me. "And you must be the famous Christine? Pony, Johnny and Two-Bit been talkin' 'bout ya. Im Darry, Pony's older brother." I smiled and waved.
Ponyboy's POV
Soon, I heard people walking up to the door and knew instantly it was the rest of the gang. Besides the fact I could hear Soda and Dally laugh and Steve's voice. I looked over to Chris, but she was too busy with Two-Bit to notice. They get along really well, I never knew Two-Bit Mathews to befriend some one so quickly. Or Johnny. He seemed really comfortable with Christine.
"Hey, I'm back Darry!" shouted Soda, getting the attention of not only Darry, but also Johnny, Two-Bit and Christine. He startled her so bad; she was clinging on to Two-Bit.
Steve jumped onto the couch, a little ways away from me, fallowed by Soda. Dally just stood there.
"Ey, who's the redhead?" asked Steve taking notice to the girl clinging to Two-Bit.
"You into redheads now, Two-Bit?" laughed Soda.
"Knock it off!" he said, "You scared her. She was fine a minute ago."
"Guys, that's Christine, our new neighbor," I said, introducing Chris because I knew she wasnt going to herself. She was too frightened to let go of Two-Bit.
"Ah, so we finally get to meet the famous Christine. They've been talkin' 'bout ya all day, ya know." Soda patted her head, getting her to look up at him.
"So, how old are ya?" asked Dally. Christine removed one hand from Two-Bit's shirt and pulled out her notepad from her sweatshirt pocket. Chris rested her head against him, and wrote down something. She held it up a little.
"13? Ha, youre not the youngest one anymore, Pony!" laughed Dally.
"Guys, the food's done," announced Darry from the kitchen. Everyone filed in, except Christine.
"Are you coming, Chris?" I asked. She shook her head no. "Why not? You hungry?" Again, she shook her head.
"Come on, Chrissie!" urged Two-bit, sticking his head out of the kitchen.
"We have more than enough," added Soda. She gave in, grabbed her crutch and fallowed me into the kitchen.
