-JUST MY IDEA; SHUQIN :D-
Maybe PuiTing and Annabel (and maybe Amelia?) can come out as extras during the playground scene as we need some people to act as the Socs*
Scene 1: At Ponyboy’s house.
*Sodapop sitting on couch, Darry standing up, Ponyboy outside the door*
Narrator: Ponyboy stood outside his house door. He was trembling at the thought of having to face Darry for staying out so late.
Ponyboy: (outside the door)*sigh* So here comes the nagging.. -walks in and looks fervently from left to right-
Darry: WHERE IN THE WORLD HAVE U BEEN? DO YOU KNOW ITS NOW 2 IN THE MORNING?
Ponyboy: -shakes head guiltily-
Darry: *shouting* I WAS SO WORRIED FOR YOU. IF YOU WERE GONE FOR ANOTHER HOUR, I WOULD HAVE HAD THE POLICE OUT AFTER YOU!
Ponyboy: *stammering* Sor.. Sorry.. I feel asleep in the lot..
Darry: You what?!
Sodapop: (on the couch) -waking up- *sleepily* Ponyboy? Where had ya been?
Ponyboy: -to Darry- I didn’t plan to stay out so late..! I am serious..!
Darry: Have it ever occurred to you that I would be worried? I could have called the police but it could get you and Sodapop stuck in a boys’ home. Ponyboy, it is cold outside and you haven’t even got a coat on! Do you know...
Sodapop: -cuts in- ..Darry.. Chill..
Ponyboy: But.. *sigh*.. I already said I didn’t mean to. I was talking to Johnny and I guessed we feel asleep..
Darry: You didn’t mean to?! *shouted loudly* Excuses and excuses. I didn’t think! I forgot! That’s all I hear from you everyday! Can’t you try and remember something just for once?!
Sodapop: *wanting to speak* Dar..
Darry: Shut up! Don’t stick up for him!
*****silence*****
*****everyone freezes*****
Narrator: That was the last straw for Ponyboy. No one could ever shout at Sodapop in front of him.
Ponyboy: DON’T YELL AT HIM.
Darry: -Hits Ponyboy-
Sodapop: Darry!... *astonished expression*
Darry: -Looks at his hands- Ponyboy…
*Ponyboy runs out of the house*
Narrator: That was it. Nothing could be turned back.
Darry: I didn’t mean to…
*Darry & Sodapop exits from scene*
Scene 2: At the park.
Ponyboy: *shaking Johnny* C’mon Johnny, we’re running away!
*Johnny & Ponyboy runs*
Johnny: Are you okay?
Ponyboy: Got a cigarette?
Johnny: Yupp.
*Johnny hands Ponyboy a cigarette*
Ponyboy: -striking a match- I am scared.-
Johnny: Don’t be. What happen? You are scaring me..
Ponyboy: *sobbing* Darry.. He hit me. It happened too fast.. But nobody in the family had ever hit me. Nobody. I mean.. We get along okay, but I just cannot stand him shouting at me. Not to even say hitting me.
Johnny: Hey, I think I enjoy it more when the old man’s hittin’ me, at least I got acknowledged. I stay in the house; Nobody says anything. I walk out of the house; Nobody stops me. I stay away all night; Nobody notice. At least you got Soda. I got nobody.
Ponyboy: Ohmy.. Johnny, you got the whole gang!
Johnny: But it’s not the same as having your own family.. It just ain’t the same.
Narrator: Upon hearing that, Ponyboy began to relax and wonder if runing away was the correct thing to do. Sleepy and cold, all he wanted was to be safe and warm at home, on the bed with Soda’s arm across him.
Ponyboy: *smiles* Let’s walk to the park and back while waiting for me to cool off. And maybe I will go home.
Johnny: *smiles back* Okay.
Scene 3: At the playground.
*Ponyboy & Johnny sitting on playground*
*Bob and the Socs walking towards them*
Randy: Greasers.. Whatcha doing? –looks at Bob-
Bob: *drunken voice* Oh hey little greasers.. Haiz.. Tried to pick up our girls eh?
Randy: *laugh* Next time you want eh girl, pick up yer own kind - dirt.
Johnny: *shaky voice* You better watch it.
Bob: -shakes head- Tsktsk, shut your trap. Y’know what a greaser is? White trash with greasy hair. High fives with Randy-
Johnny: *shocked face* *gasp* What?!
Ponyboy: *face of pure disbelief* Hey Johnny, you know what a Soc is? White trash with filthy cash.
Bob: *smile slowly* Whoa, you should know when to stop. Really. Hmm.. you could use a bath, and a good working over too. We have all night yeah. Right Randy? –nudge head to Ponyboy-
*Randy and the rest shove Ponyboy into fountain*
Ponyboy: -struggled-
Randy & the rest: -continue holding Ponyboy in the water-
Bob: -looks on in amusement-
Johnny: *panicking* -watch Ponyboy struggle for a while- *worried look* -looks left and right, flash out a switchblade and stab Bob-
Bob: ARHHH.-falls to the ground-
*****silence*****
*****everyone freezes*****
Narrator: AHHHH AMELIA U FILL IN THIS BLANK BY URSELF KTHXBAI :D
