Boy, that essay sure took me awhile to write. It was so worth it though. It was nice to write again. Doing so took my mind off of the incident. It has now been three months since I wrote that essay. Those past three months have been better than usual. The gang has changed as well. Like me for example. Im not afraid of those dang Socs anymore. Those times are way long gone. My grades have gotten better as well. I’ve also gotten in better shape, and I was thinking about trying out for the schools track team next year. Darry is still old Darry, except now he doesn't take things as serious as he used to. He’s still the boss of everyone and he still makes sure that my chores are all done, as well as my homework. He’s still into roofing

That wasn't all he cared about, but he was still pretty ticked. Two-Bit still robs stores for fun and gets drunk every other day. Thats not really a problem though. I guess when you’ve known someone for so long it just seems like a routine more than a horrible addiction. I know for a fact that he’s saving up for a new switchblade, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he stole one either. Steve Randall is still best friends with my brother, Sodapop. Funny story, the other day me and Soda were throwing rocks at each other when I dodged one of them and it hit Steve’s car. He just got it waxed too. If it wasn't for Soda, Steve would've beaten the living tar out of me. I’m sure glad we are on better terms, he still hates me, but we’re on better terms than we used to be. Cherry Valance. I haven't seen in a long time, so I don't know what she’s been up to. I’ve seen her around while she was hanging out with Marcia. They act like I don't exist. It used to bother me a lot, but then I got more and more used to it. One question always remained in my mind. Cherry, when and why did you turn into such a …show more content…
“I’ll tell you about it later.”
Then the nurse walked in. “Pony, you have some visitors.”
I looked at the door entrance and there they were. Steve, Johnny, Dally, and Two-Bit.
“Hey, Pony!” Two-Bit said in excitement.
“Glad to be awake?” Steve asked, leaning against the hospital bed.
“Sure am,” I responded.
Johnny walked up and spoke in his usual shy tone. “Hey Pony, how have you been?”
I stared at him for a bit because I was shocked that he was standing here in the first place. “Oh-um I’m doing great.”
He cracked a half smile, then walked back towards the door. Dally just looked at me and nodded with an awkward smile. After a minute of catching up, the nurse told them they had to leave. After many objections, they left. Dally was the last one out. Before he closed the door he looked back at me and said “Good to have you back, kid.”
“I’m glad to be back,” I responded.
He smiled then closed the door, but then re-opened it and popped his head through. “Do I die in all of your dreams?”
I laughed. “Well, that was the only dream of mine that you’ve been
