Disclaimer: don't own it and never will...but a girl can dream.
How do I say this? Well a while ago I had an adventure. One thing led to another and I fell in love... This is my story...
It all started when I went on holiday. Or, to be more specific, my mother went on holiday, I just sort of went along for the ride. I rested my head against the glass window of the train, once we got off the plane we had to catch a train. I hated trains; I'm more into fast cars than anything train related. I really didn't want to go on holiday because I was JUST beginning to get back into the scheme of things after my brother got back from is holiday in England.
When Josh was in England I partied every night and wasted the day away. It was fun whilst it lasted and now I was being dragged across the world to go to a little city in Oklahoma. Josh is a bit protective of me; no matter how many fights I get into and win he still thinks I need looking after. I don't. I'm not a really good fighter but if I have to fight dirty I'm not afraid to.
Oh yes, me, I haven't told you about me yet have I? I'm short, not so short I can't take cookies off the top shelf, but still fairly short. My eyes are brown. Not hazel, not ebony, brown and plain. I like it that way. I had all my hair cut off last summer because it got in my way, it tends to frizz up and frustrate me so I keep it short as in, shorter than most boys' hair. As for skin, I'm neither black nor white, I'm a half cast. My father's side was Jamaican and my mother English.
There you are ,nothing fabulous I can assure you. Now the reason for this holiday was that mother wanted to escape for a while so she kicked me and Josh out for a while whilst she stayed with a friend. So Josh and I were visiting our old friend Darry. Darry did an apprenticeship with Josh for roofing a while ago and well, Darry and I just clicked. In a non-sexual manner of speaking because we were best friends. His parents died a few years before we met him and he had to drop out of college.
He has two younger brothers as well, Sodapop and Ponyboy. Interesting names, but I couldn't care less. I'm an interesting person. Their Parents died about four years ago now and mother was staying with someone back in Australia, she decided it was good for us to visit them. The poor lambs she said. Last time I talked to Darry he mentioned a gang, or something, I couldn't quite tell, the phone line was bad.
The train pulled up and I can tell you, I had never been so glad to get out my seat in my life. Josh glared at me as I jumped out of my seat. By the time we had got to the train station in Tulsa I was tired as hell and willing to fall asleep where we were standing waiting for Darry.
To this day I still for the life of me can't remember when Darry arrived until the moment he picked me up and spun me around. I laughed and hugged him tightly, it had been so long!
"Darry" I choked out "human...air...breathe" he chuckled dryly and set me down. I realised how tall he was, I craned my neck. "How's the weather up there?" I asked cheekily.
"Brilliant, pity you can't see it shrimp." He dead panned. My jaw dropped and I jumped on him again, I tend to go a bit crazy when I'm happy. Darry took it in his stride and simply swung me around again. I squealed and hugged him again, a throat was cleared behind us and Darry turned around with me still in his arms.
"Yes Soda?" he asked, grinning like the Cheshire cat himself. I looked at the people standing watching us with their jaws on the ground. There were five boys standing there and they all looked shocked I raised an eyebrow and nudged Darry.
"Why are they staring at us?" I whispered loudly before chuckling. "You know what? We must look like a couple!"I began to laugh which set Darry and Josh off; as we began to laugh a voice was heard.
"What the hell Curtis?" whoever it was sounded mean. Darry set me down gently but kept an arm around my shoulders. I was still laughing when I looked at the owner of the voice, hell, the guy looked as mean as he sounded. White blonde hair fell into blue eyes, the kind of eyes that make you shudder when they meet yours. Luckily I had never been one for conformity and did the opposite. I chuckled and grinned cheekily.
"Darry, Josh and I need to sleep; it's been forever since I saw you last so should we catch up tomorrow or do I have to drink a bucketful of coffee?" I said casually, stepping aside and grabbing my bag from Josh.
"Here." Offered Darry, holding his hand out for my bag. I shook my head.
"Nah, I got it." I said "So how 'bout that coffee?" I shouldered my bag and leaned against Darry.
"Curtis, who's the broad?" said that guy again, the mean looking one. Josh growled when he called me a broad and I put my hand on his arm.
"Easy Joshie" I said quietly, like I said, he was protective. "It don't mean nothin'" Josh looked at me and stood back. I smiled at him quickly as Josh turned to Darry.
"Superman, Kitty needs to sleep. Where to?" I frowned; I was fine with staying up to talk. Darry, seeing my frown put an arm around my shoulders and steered me towards a battered car. My jaw dropped.
I opened my mouth to object but Darry covered my mouth with his hand.
"Don't even think on it Kitty. You need sleep" I sighed and let him put me in the backseat of the car. Turning around I saw a scuffle and a boy with rusty sideburns climbed in next to me. He grinned at me.
"My fair lady" he said, grabbing my hand "Two-Bit, at your service" he finished raising my hand to his lips. I tugged my hand back.
"Thanks but no thanks, the names Kitty, don't sass me. What's you real name?"
"Keith, but don't tell the government, they think I'm still in Canada." he replied without missing a beat. I raised an eyebrow and smirked, I liked this guy, he was fair decent. Yawning I laid my head against the worn leather seats and murmured
"I need to call Honey and Darlin', they'll be wondering when we got here." Josh nodded from the front seat. I closed my eyes and yawned again. It had been a long day and Josh was right, I did need some sleep.
A/N okay, first story. I'm not going to be a review whore but it would be nice to have some feedback.
