I was at the D.X., drinking a coke, and watching Steve work on a car. I was super bored so I decided to go over and mess with him. I dipped my finger in the inky black oil.
" Steve!"
" Yah Val?"
He rolled out from under the car and I plotted the oil onto his nose.
" Oh you're going to regret that."
He dipped his fingers in the oil then started to chase me. I took off at full speed. When I started to slow down, Steve trapped me in a corner smearing all the oil on my face. I rushed back to the oil can, put more on my fingers, and smeared it all over Steve's face as well. We kept going back and forth covering each other in oil. Sodapop walked right in when Steve through some oil at me, missing by a inch. It hit him right in the cheek.
" You guys are going to get it!"
We countied to have this oil fight until we heard a low voice yell
" You guys come over here!"
We all turned around to see their boss.
" You two clean up and get back to work! You go home!"
I walked home with a smirk on my face.
I was hoping Darry wasn't home so I didn't have to tell him why I was covered in oil. I was also hoping that Soda and Steve didn't get fired because of me. I opened the door to my house and thankfully no one was home. I grabbed a new pair of clean clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower. When I left the bathroom Darry was home making dinner, Ponyboy was doing homework, and Soda was on the couch watching t.v.
" He shouldn't be here this early." I thought to myself.
" Soda." I hissed.
I beckoned him to come. He gave over and asked me what.
" Did you get fired?"
" Yeah we did. We're not allowed back there for a long time. I need to find a new one quick."
"Dinner!" Darry yelled from the kitchen.
We all went to the table and sat down.
" How was work today Soda?" Darry asked.
" It was great. We gave the boss a good laugh today and we all got raises."
I kicked from underneath the table.
" You tricked me." I said under my breath so only Soda could.
" Yah I did." He also said under his breath and smiled at me.
