AN: I don't own Soda or any of the gang. I only own Taylor Brooks. R&R!

At the DX gas station in Tulsa,Oklahoma.

Soda POV

I was working the 9-5 shift tonight. I looked at the clock, it was 4:45.

Only 15 minutes.

I was cleaning the counter tops when I saw her. She had short brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. I was in a trance.

oh my gosh. she's more beautiful than Sandy.. I got to talk to her.

She opened the door and smiled at me, I smiled back.

"Welcome to the Sodapop I'm DX" I said. A minute later i realized what I had said. I laughed embarrassed. She laughed and looked me in the eyes.

Golly,she has the most prettiest eyes I've ever seen!

"Hey, my name's Taylor Brooks. I just moved here from New York." Taylor said to me in the most beautiful voice i had ever heard.

"I'm Sodapop Curtis." I said and flashed her a smile. For what seemed like hours we looked into each others eyes.

God, She's so pretty.

"Could I have a Pepsi please? I'm kind of in a hurry." Taylor said smiling at me. I nodded and smiled back. I got the pepsi and put it on the counter.

"50 cents." I stated the total.

She put two quarters on the counter and took a sip of her pepsi. Again, we looked each other in the eyes for what seemed like hours.

"Are you on the North Side?" She asked me looking me in the eyes.

"Sure do. I live a couple blocks from here. you?"

It's really easy to talk to her. It wasn't ever this easy talking to Sandy. Golly, Taylor. pretty name for a pretty girl.

Taylor POV

I couldn't believe I was talking to a gorgeous gas station worker. I never had much luck with boys back in New York.

Oh My god. His smile... oh my god. Too bad I have to go before...

"Yeah. It was nice talking to ya Sodapop. Um.. would it be okay if I give you my number? I might need directions." I said giggling a little.

Sodapop smiled at me and said," Yeah. that'd be great. Oh call me Soda."

I flashed him a smile as I wrote my number on a napkin. I handed it to him.

"Thanks for the Pepsi. See ya Soda." I said walking out the door. I got in my car and drove off towards my new house. I saw him smile and wave at me through the window.

Maybe Tulsa won't be so bad after all.
