Author's Note! Hi y'all! I do want to say I'm sorry if something isn't correct grammar wise I tried to go over it but I'm from this state we call Oklahoma and what is right around here isn't always right everywhere else. I was doing a spell check and it wanted to spell y'all like yawl and I was like "Seriously?" Anyways I hope you enjoy this. The Prologue is based two months before the story starts just FYI. Please forgive anywhere the story isn't correct this is fan fiction so I might have changed a few details.
I own nothing except Calloway. If you don't recongise it then it's probably mine or my idea of something, The Outsiders and it's characters all belong to S.E. Hinton.
Prologue 2 Months Before
The way Dallas and Calloway first came into contact was a bit like a movie. It was perfect and very clique-ish. It was a nice experience that still drew a smile to anyone's face as they thought about it.
Two Bit walked in the door of his home and tossed a bag of his dirty clothes on the brown couch near the front door. He took off his shoes and started to kick them towards the shoe rack when he suddenly stopped, surprised and looked around with his mouth hanging open in surprise. The house was spotless. This was very unusual in Two Bit's house because he rarely did so much as throw away his trash and his mom was usually just dragging her butt in from work as a bar maid by the time he got home.
A few seconds after the shock subsided Dallas came in the house smiling crookedly. "Damn Two Bit finally started pulling your worth I see!"
Two Bit shook his head. "No sir, this wasn't of my doing."
They heard a humming noise from in the kitchen. "Whose the girl in the kitchen?" Dallas asked.
Two Bit shrugged and walked towards it. When he reached the door way his face broke into a grin. Standing before him was his close to a Soc cousin, Calloway Bell, whom he hadn't seen since he was thirteen and she was twelve. He took in the sight of her. She had nicely evenly tanned skin, prominent cheek bones and nose that weren't too in your face, sparkling green eyes, light red heart shaped lips, brown slightly curly hair that sat just below her shoulders, and had eye brows that had a way of perching making her look cocky and sure of herself in a good way. She was not very tall just barely five five with small hands and feet. The girl was pretty if she wasn't his cousin Two Bit would date her.
"Hey Keith!" She cried tackling him in a flying hug ending the silent look over. Two Bit caught her and spun her around with ease she barely weighed a hundred pounds if he guessed right.
"Hey yourself Calloway!" Two Bit put her down grinning wider then Texas. "What are you doing here?"
Calloway paused giving Dallas a smile with straight white teeth before answering, "You're mom invited me out said this house could use a woman's touch. California didn't have anything to offer me so I decided I'd come here." Her voice had a firm authorative tone to it but yet managed to be soft and gentle to.
"Aren't California girls supposed to look like Barbie dolls?" Dallas asked.
"If you want a Barbie doll go buy yourself one at Walmart. California is just like any other state. Not everybody from it is extremely pretty, blonde, and stick thin thank you." Calloway retorted.
"I like her." Dallas told Two Bit. "What's her name?"
Calloway offered her hand to him. "I'm Calloway, but you can call me Callie most people do."
Dallas shook it liking how she met his grip firmly. "I'm Dallas Winston. You can call me Dallas, or Dally whichever. It's pretty funny though Callie from Calli."
Calloway laughed sarcastically then said, "Oh Hun, nothing slips past you does it?" She turned towards Two Bit. "I'm making dinner tonight. Bring your boys in okay?"
"Alright. Thanks Cal, we appreciate that. We'll be back shortly." Two Bit drug Dallas out of the house.
A short time later Two Bit, Dallas, and Johnny walked in. "Cal, come meet Johnny Cake!" Cal came around the corner and wiped her hands off. "Johnny this is my awesome cousin Calloway and Calloway this is Johnny."
Callie shook Johnny's hand. "You know anything about working in the kitchen? Baking chocolate chip cookies to be exact?" She asked.
"I don't know." Johnny stated.
"Well then come help me." Callie and Johnny quickly made a bond. Johnny started talking to her like a normal person not his quiet self. When Steve rambled in Callie gave him a quick hello before going back to setting the table.
Darry, Soda, and Pony walked in shortly after Callie had set all the food on the table. She shook their hands a big grin on her face. Soda and Callie clicked instantly. Callie called them all to sit down at the table and presented them a dinner of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, potato salad, and a big plate of chocolate cookies.
Two Bit and Callie traded stories of when they were younger and times were simpler. The stories had Pony and Johnny rolling on the ground laughing and even Dallas cracked a smile a few times at their crazy adventures.
"This has been fun y'all but I'm afraid I have to be gettin' out of here." Dallas said standing up. "Thank you for the food Callie, it was good."
"Where you gettin off to Dallas?" Two Bit asked.
"Sylvia and I are going to the drive in." Dallas walked towards the door.
"Whose Sylvia? Your girlfriend?" Callie asked cocking her eyebrow in a way that must run in Two Bit's family.
"You'd be correct there my dear friend."
"Somebody actually wants to be seen in public with you?" Callie didn't catch Two Bit's comment about her being a cheating broad.
Dallas looked her over for a minute then said, "Damn girl if you weren't such a soc I might actually be able to fall in love with you."
"Well boy," Cal was quick to answer,"Maybe if you weren't such a greaser," She said greaser in the way only family could manage. "I'd fall for you. I suppose we're good then. I'm too soc-y your too greasy. Nice to meet you Dally, it was enchanting."
