Steve's POV ~November 29th, 1965~

"Randle!" My boss hollered from the garage. I stopped trying to get this cute blonde's number and ran a grease-covered hand through my greasy hair.

"What?" I hollered back in a shape voice, annoyed. My boss was a short, bald, and cranky man in his upper fifties from up north named Donald Conners. I despised him and he felt the same about me, but he would never fire me and we both knew it.

"I don't pay you to flirt with the customers. Get back to the garage, will you," Conners snapped.

"You got Sodapop for that," I mumbled sarcastically.

"And I definitely didn't hire you for your big mouth remarks, Randle," Conners shot back icily. I merely shrugged carelessly.

I walked into the cramped garage, the smell of oil hitting me with strength, as always.

"Ready for tomorrow?" My buddy asked me. "I bet she's real hot."

If my my dad doesn't kick her out, I thought bitterly.

"The last time I saw my cousin, she had frizzy hair, a crooked smile and was still in diapers," I responded back, laughing.

"I can deal with diapers," he paused. "I still bet she's hot," Sodapop said, fake-thoughtfully. I shook my head.
