It's been numbing the past few days since Bob nearly broke Soda's nose. He's been basically out of control. We finally spoke to each other for the first time in about 2 weeks. By the end of our conversation, he sounded a lot calmer. Bob said that he is laying low since he believes that the police know it was he who hit Soda. He also knows that Darry will repay him for this as well. I didn't tell him that the police really don't have a clue about the assault. I think I'll keep that from him as he is less violent with people when he scared.

Pony plans on calling me tomorrow and we might go to the movies. He appreciates how kind I've been to Soda.

I can still hear the sirens...I'm out of breath. Well, he had it coming. Soda should never have tried to stop me from striking at Pony. I hit him so hard....I think I broke his nose. He was in such bad shape. Before I knew it, people were screaming. I guess someone called the police. As I started to run away, I could hear the sirens wail. Well, I'm not finished yet. Pony will get it too for stealing my girl.

It's Friday night and I plan to go to Ponyboy's house. I know that his older brother doesn't like me but I don't care. But I am afraid that Bob is looking for me and I have been trying to avoid him.

Hi everyone. This is Bob. I'm doing a lot better now since Johnny put a knife into me. I'll find him again and teach him a lesson!! I've been looking for Cherry. Word on the street is that she has been hanging out at Pony's house. They will both be in trouble if I find them together!!
