I had brown hair tinted with red, brown/auburn eyes. Nothing special. So how could I get the attention from a legendary gang and become a legend myself?
I finished the last puff of my camel cigarette. "KAYT! COME ON, LET'S GO" I had been waiting 5 minutes for Kayt to get her ass down stairs from her room. I was outside smoking, trying to kill time waiting for her. "I'M COMING" Sure enough here comes Kayt running down the stairs, looking like she did 1 hour ago before she went to put on her face for the fifth times today.
Skylar: Ready?
Kayt: Yep.
Skylar: So where are we going again?
Kayt: I told you, to the DX. I told Steve that I would met him after school. Plus he wants me to met his friend Soda. Says we would hit it off.
Skylar: Ugh alright. The things I do for you. I swear your boy crazy to the extreme.
Kayt: Well it's better than not having love at all. Why are you so scared of it?
Skylar: You make it sound like I have never kissed or dated before.
Kayt: I know that, it's just I don't know. You never seemed interested or at least try at getting a boyfriend.
Skylar: Maybe I don't want one.
Kayt: Maybe you just scared.
Skylar: Of What?!
Kayt: Getting hurt.
Skylar: By a boy?
Kayt: You haven't even done the "deed" yet. I lost my virginity at 13.
Skylar: So what? Maybe Im just waiting for the right person.
Kayt: IT JUST SEX! RIGHT...?
Skylar: Yeah, I know.
Kayt: Plus everyone else has already done it. I know everyone always says that. But think about it. If it's that big of a deal, why wouldn't people wait?
Skylar: I guess your right...
Kayt: See it's not a big deal. You need to get it over with already and see what I mean.
Skylar: But with who?
Kayt: It doesn't matter. Lose it to a random guy, so if it's bad you don't have to see him again and can just forget it.
Skylar: Bu-
Kayt: OH MY GOD! I HAVE THE BEST IDEA! You could lose it one of Steve's friends! I mean, there are popular greasers, you'll be in with the gang, I hear there all real cute, and you could ditch him and never seem him again. No one else would know but use.
Skylar: THIS SOON!?
Kayt: Scared?
Skylar: No
Kayt: I bet you wont be able to do it.
Skylar: Yes I will.
Kayt: Then do it, TONIGHT
Skylar: All right I will.
We dropped the subject of me losing it to one of Steve's friend for the rest of the walk to the DX. But that was all I thought about for the walk. I could never let Kayt know that though. She was one of the most popular greaser girls. She's my best friend and everything, but I'm still new to the group and haven't been fully accepted yet. I think the only reason Kayt lost her virginity so young was because of her older sister. Who is a greaser legend for being a true greaser girl. (Fights real good, wore to much make-up, slut, dressed skanky, and partied hard.) Kayt's sister pressured her into it and felt she had to live up to her sister reputation.
We finally got to the DX. I still had our virginity conversation on my mind. I prayed that Kayt had forgotten. We walked in and Kayt ran up and gave Steve a hug. I stayed a little behind.
Steve: Took you long enough to get here.
Kayt: Well you know, gotta look tuff.
Steve: (laughing) I want you to met Soda.
Kayt: (smiling big) And I want you to met my best friend Skylar.
Steve: Okay, I'll go get Soda.
Kayt: (Still smiling) You ready to take your pick?
SHIT!! She hadn't forgotten. Okay, calm down. Act tuff. You have to do this.
Skylar: You bet
(Steve walking back in with Soda.) Man was he gorgeous.
Kayt: (Staring at me staring at Soda, now whispering) No girly, he's mine.
Skylar: I know, you go get him.
Kayt: (Kissing me on the cheek and puts on her best flirting look) Hey Soda...
As she goes to win over Soda, I sit down on a stool by the cashier station and grab a coke.
Steve: You gonna pay for that?
Skylar: (Roll my eyes and start pulling out the money.)
Steve: (laughing) I was just fuckin with yea, you dig okay baby.
Skyar: (smiling) So any more of your friends coming?
Steve: Why? You want to met them?
Skylar: Sure.
Steve: Well you and Kayt can come over to Soda's with us after work.
Skylar: (Looking at Soda and Kayt flirting) Yeah, she wont mined
Steve: That's why I asked, I know that Soda already wants her to come over to see if the other boys approve.
Skylar: I see.
Steve: (yelling to Soda) HEY SODA, WERE LEAVING IN 5!
Soda: KAYTS COMING WITH!
Steve: (smiling) Told you.
Skylar: I'm impressed.
Should I lose it to him? He seems nice enough.
Skylar: Who are these boys were meeting that I have hearing so much about?
Steve: Well Soda's brother Darry and Ponyboy. Two-bit, Dallas, and Johnny.
Skylar: Dallas Winston?
Steve: Heard of him?
Skylar: Who hasn't?
Steve: (laughing) You got me there.
