Angry Darry

After the movie, Marcia and Cherry need a ride home, so Two-Bit convinces them to let him drive them. As I talk to Cherry, I realizes that she is not so different from a Greaser. I asks her if money is the only thing that separates them. She says, "It's not just money...We're sophisticated to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us Cherry and Pony realize that they can talk to each other more personally than they are used to. On the ride home, I tell Cherry about Sodapop's horse, Mickey Mouse, a story he never tells anyone. Cherry tells me that she can see me as thoughtful person. Just then, Marcia sees a blue mustang coming toward them. It is their boyfriends' car. At first everyone freezes, but then the car drives by. Cherry asks me about Darry. "He's as hard as a rock and about as human...he thinks I'm a pain in the neck. He likes Soda everybody likes Soda but he can't stand me." Everyone looks at me, shocked. When Johnny protests that he thought the three brothers got along well, I got very angry at myself for complaining and I yell at Johnny.Two-Bit slaps me, telling me not to treat Johnny that way. I cries about how unfair their lives are--how hard we all have to work, how so many of the Greasers are abused by their parents, and how easy the Socs have it. Suddenly, the Socs reappear in the blue mustang. One of them wears many rings on his fingers, and Pony realizes that this is the boy who beat Johnny up. He feels Johnny trembling next to him. Two-Bit is ready to fight, but Cherry says she hates fighting, so she and Marcia go off with the Socs. Before she leaves, Cherry tells Pony that she can't talk to him at school--they just aren't part of the same world. That night, I lies under the stars with Johnny, wondering why life for Greasers is so hard. Johnny agrees: he feels like he can't take it anymore. I daydream about living out in the country, about my parents being alive again...and then I falls asleep. When I wakes up it's the middle of the night.I run home, and sure enough, Darry is waiting up for him, very angry
