I Got Jumped!

It was the first time I got jumped, and I'm still having nightmares about it. Sometimes I feel like I'm about to start bawling, but I know better than that. No one cries in front of Darry. You just don't. Soda was right about the bruse and cut on my cheek making me look tough. The bruse is still sore, but the cut is healing pretty quickly. Every time I look in the mirror I remind myself of a movie-type gang member. I like looking tough. It makes me feel like I fit in with the Greasers more.

Last night Soda told me that he was in love with Sandy, and that he was going to marry her when she got out of school. That really made me think about Sandy and Sodapop together, getting married. It was no suprise to me that he said he loved her, but I think getting married is a pretty big step for him. I don't think Soda has stuck with anything for a long time in.... well, I don't think he ever has. He dropped out of school, and I'm a little worried that marrage will be too hard for him and he will drop out of that too.
