When I woke up this morning the sun was blinding me through my window. It was finally summer. I had nothing better to do then hang out at the Dx and go swimming in the nearby pool. I hated the fact that that's all I had to do, but it wasn't really much of problem though.

"Ponyboy Curtis, could you please get out of bed? You're burning daylight!" Darry yelled.

I realized that Soda wasn't in the bed he must've had to go to work early. I wondered where Johnny could have been at this time in the day. Maybe he was at the Dx with everyone else. Two-bit told all of us to meet him at the Dx at five-o-clock today. He said something about a surprise. He seemed real excited though, so I guess it's important.

"Ponyboy!" Darry yelled.

"I'm up, I'm up!" I yelled back.

The house smelled like eggs. Burnt eggs. Darry was cooking in the kitchen when I walked in. I don't know why, but I've been eating Darry's eggs for so long, that I don't even care that there burnt I'll eat them anyway.

"I don't understand how you could sleep so long, Pony," Darry said.

I just laughed. I always slept long on weekends. It never occurred to me, but I didn't care. It was already three-o-clock. I slowly ate the eggs trying to stay awake. Darry wasn't working today since it was the weekend, so he was going to come and see what Two-bit's surprise was. As soon as I finished my Dally came running into the house with a lit weed in his mouth.

"Hey, there's a new tassel in town," Dally explained, "And guess what?"

We sat there staring at Dally confused waiting for an answer. He looked at us waiting for us to say something.

"Never mind you were supposed to guess. Anyway, even though she can completely pass for socs, you can tell she has greaser running trough her blood."

A greaser girl? Was Dally pulling out leg? I've never seen a girl who could be a socs not be a socs. I laughed at the thought.

"Yeah right, Dally. If a girl could be a socs she would be a socs," Darry snickered.

Darry was thinking the same thing. That just ain't possible. Dally flicked the cigarette bud in the trash can.

"No, seriously. I saw her take on about four guys at once. Let me tell you she was mighty fine while doing it, too."

I shrugged getting up and walking towards the door while Dally went on and on about this new girl. I walked past the movie theatre and just kept walking. I didn't know where I was going I just decided to keep walking. I walked around for and hour until I decided to go see a movie. It was just a beach movie which had no real point to it. I wonder what Two-bit wanted to show us. He rarely had anything important to show anybody. I lost track of time, I didn't realize the movie was this long. I turned to the women beside me and asked her what time it was. It was already 5:10. I bolted out the door running into a bunch of people.

I got there as fast as I could. Since I was in track it didn't take that long to get there. I ran straight into Steve.

"Watch it," he growled.

"I'm sorry, man," I apologized.

Johnny was sitting on the trunk of a car while Steve worked on it. I didn't see Two-bit yet, so I guessed it was okay. Two-bit came running almost jumping out of his skin.

"Hey! Come on everybody got big news! Where are Darry and Soda and Dally?"

"Calm down we're right here," Dally said.

I couldn't help but wonder what Two-bit was so surprised about. It was eating at my skin. I would explode if Two-bit didn't start talking.

"Okay," Two-bit started, "I want you to meet somebody. It's a girl and she's a greaser!"

Dally lit a cigarette. He looked like he didn't even care. To tell you the truth I didn't really care either. We've all seen girls who where greasers before. They weren't much to look at.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Steve exclaimed.

He was looking at this blue mustang with socs in it, but what the blue mustang stopped for is what he was really looking at. A girl, with long black hair with bright green eyes. She wore a flannel shirt that was tied just below her chest. She also wore a skirt that was rolled and cut to show off her legs. Usually I don't like green eyes, but in her case I'll make an exception. The socs walked up on her whistling at her like she was a dog. She seemed to be getting annoyed. She spat at one of there faces and that got him real mad. He jumped o her holding her wrist against the wall. She kneed him between the legs and punched him in the face. As soon as they scooped him off the ground they got back in the car and drove away. She glared in our directions and it sent chills up and down my spine.

"Hey Ponyboy go mess with her," Two-bit whispered.

"Heck no do you think I want to get killed?" I answered.

"Don't worry, your fine she won't hurt you."

I ran across the street and stopped in front of her. She looked pissed and that scared me.

"Hey, girl, ya wanna hang out? If you say no there will be consequences." I tried to play it cool.

She looked me up and down then did something I didn't expect, plus it almost made me faint. She smiled. Her teeth were straight and looked like pearls.

"Now, you couldn't hurt a fly, can you?" she said. My ears went red I think my face was red to. "Do you know Two-bit?"

I shook my head

"Can you point me in the direction him then, sugar?"

She tickled me under my chin. My face was really red now. I pointed at the Dx.

"Are you Two-bit's friend?" she asked.

I shook my head. Now she smiled really big.

"Well come on!"

She grabbed my hand and ran towards the Dx. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I couldn't hear because it was beating so loud.

"Two-bit!" she screamed.

She let go of my hand and through her arms around Two-bit.

"Cuz!" he yelled back.

We all stood there dumb founded. Two-bit had relatives? It was a bit awkward seeing her gawk all over Two-bit like a lost puppy.

"Yvette, you've grown haven't you?" Two-bit asked. He seemed excited, too, "Yvette you need to meet the guys, this is Dally, Darry, Ponyboy, and Sodapop."

Her eyes widened at the name Ponyboy and Sodapop.

"Wait!" she almost screamed, "Where's Johnny?"

Johnny jumped off the hood of the car and slowly crept between Dally and Soda. Obviously she had known Johnny because she was real excited when she saw him.

"Okay, okay let me guess," she pointed at all of us trying to guess our names with our faces, "You're Darry?"

She was right. She shook his hand and kept guessing to.

"You're Darry?"

Right again. Dally was a bit too stunned to say anything. She kept guessing.

"Ummmm… Ponyboy that's difficult. The awkward named ones are the cutest, right?" I blushed again, "Ponyboy has to be the small cute one with grayish green eyes."

My face maybe permanently red if she kept talking. I couldn't help but smile.

"You're cuter when you smile."

My whole body is completely red right down to my toes.

"Gosh, Pony you look like lobster," Dally said.

"That must mean you're Sodapop, I'm Yvette."

She stuck out her hand and Soda shook it. He actually shook it longer then anyone of us. Soda stood there with his mouth opened stunned, but that quickly changed into a smile.

"What is a doll like you doing in a place like this?" Soda asked.

She hesitated for a whiled, then answered.

"I was about to ask you the same question," she smirked.

They stood there smiling at each other for a while keeping there eyes on each other.

"So, you a socs?" Dally asked.

"Heck no, I'm definitely a greaser," She answered.

That's when the cigarette fell out of Dally's mouth and every one stood there stunned. Except Soda, he was still gazing into Yvette's big green eyes.
