JOHNNY POV:

I was laying with my girlfriend Y/N at the lot. She's my best friend. She makes me feel worth a damn. She lets me stay at her place all the time and keeps me away from my parents.

The next day at school, Y/N and I had a class assignment. We made a fish out of paper.

We met the gang in the hallway, and I felt Y/N tense up. She had always been nervous around the gang and I never knew why.

" Hey, Johnny. Hey, Y/N." Ponyboy greeted. She waved back nervously. I wondered what made her so nervous. "Darry's gonna pick us up, so we'll wait here I guess." Two-Bit said.

We walked outside to the front of the school as soon as the bell rang. Y/N's arm was around me and Mine was around her. I suddenly rememembered I forgot my textbook. Y/N and I always do our homework together, so it would be a problem.

"Hey, I forgot something from my locker, so I'll be right back, ok? You wait here my love." I hugged her and ran back inside.

It took me a few tried to do my combination lock. I wanted to get back to Y/N so bad.

I came back to the front of the school and saw a crowd forming. I ran over and saw Ponyboy and Two-Bit laughing as ine their greaser friends was kicking her around. "Take that you filty greaser. Why don't you bath in some water instead of grease." He said as him and his friend kicked her in the rib. She winced as she was kicked again. She was laying on the ground, curled up in a ball. She had blood on her forhead, which I can only assume was from her being pushed down.

"Why don't you bath in some dignity, you good for nothing Asshole!" I bit at them. Everyone turned around. I didn't cower one bit. I was tired of doing that.

"What did you say, pin heah?" (A/N: Who you callin' Pinhead?") They said as they took a step closer to me. "You heard me," I glared in a dark voice. "Leave her alone." I growled. They only laughed and so did the crowd. I had it and I punched him right face. He stumbled back and fell down the stairs as everyone stared at me. The principle suddenly came out dragged us all the the office.

"Reagan Phelps, Ryan Zyger, Johnathan Cade! Care to explain this?" He glared at all of us.

"You see she was giving us a hard time trying to fight us so we had to defend ourselves." Those filty bastards had the nerve to try and looked innocent. It wasn't flying with me.

"Is this true, Mr. Cade?" The principle looked at me.

"No, Principle Blotus," Y/N snapped. The side of her forehead had blood on it and her lip was bruised and blooded. She had a black eye forming and her knuckles were turning white from clenching them. Her knuckles were scratched up and bruised.

"Excuse me, Miss, Y/L/N?" He raised a brow at her.

"Actually, these two idiots over here were trying to beat me up. Ponyboy and Two-Bit over here," She pointed to them. "Were telling them to push me. They did and even Two-Bit and Ponyboy hit me. Then they laughed and a crowd formed. And They even slammed my knuckles into the concrete. And I have the marks to prove it." She said holding up her hands. They looked gnarly and they all gulped.
"But Johnny here came to my aid. He stood up to them. So I don't think it's very fair for him to get a punishment. They should." She then showed him her ribs and how they were bruised. I later found out 2 of them were cracked.

"Well boys," Principle Blotus glared at all of the    m. "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to suspend you. You all will have 6 days of Out of School suspension, and a week of In School Suspension. If this ever happens again, it's expultion." They nodded and left.
"Thank you, Mr. Cade for helping her." I nodded a thanks.

After I took Y/N to the emergency room, we went  to get an Ice cream.

I remember the look on Ponyboy's face when he was told he was gonna get suspended. It looks his squeaky clean record crumbled like his face facade.

"Hey, Y/N I just wanna say I'm sorry for all that they did to you. I wish I could've stopped it." I felt so bad. She got hurt all because I left.

"It's ok, Johnny. It wasn't your fault." She kissed my cheek.

The next day at school, everyone asked me about the fight. I saw Ponyboy walk up to me. I could've smacked him right then and there.

"I'm sorry, Johnny." He told me. I could tell he wasn't really sorry. That subtle smirk could still be seen hidden under his ego.

Some other people asked me if I were on good terms with Ponyboy. I remember the last thing I'll ever say about him.

"Well  now we got bad blood. It used to be mad love." Then I walked off, with my angel under my right arm.

A/N: Yes, I had to add some certain references in there to other things! 😂
