I don't own the book because S.E Hinton wrote the Outsiders nor do I own any characters but Ebony Rider and other characters I will say are mine. Comment and enjoy. :)

I put into the grocery store parking lot hoping to find something cheap to make for dinner. I have to feed myself and my 12 year old brother Jesse. As I walk down the grocery aisle I see kids begging their mothers for sugary breakfast cerals that will in later years make kids gain weight. I look at my watch my parents left me before they died and see its 3:04, shit. I need to get Jesse at 3:30. I quickly grab a carton of eggs and ground meat thinking I will surely think of something to make. After I check out and turn on the ignition I see it needs gas. Great, another thing I need before I get Jesse. I drive around and look for the nearest gas station and see some rinky, dink one that is sure to have cheap gas. I pull up and wait for someone to come. I jump out of the drivers seat and bump into someone.

"Pardon me, I didn't see you there." I say politely

"That's alright ma'am." The boy says.

I look up at him and notice how good lookin' he is. Damn, he should be in Hollywood making cash. What the hell is he doing in Tulsa? I look at his name tag and read his name Sodapop. What an odd name...

"What do you need ma'am?" Sodapop says breaking me from my thoughts

"Oh, sorry. I need some gas." I reply quickly.

"Ya got it ma'am." He says, "Steve! Get your lazy ass out here and get this fine lady some gas."

"I'm coming! Jesus, can't I have at least a moment of silence?" Steve says stumbling out of a room.

As Steve gives my car some gas, Sodapop tries to flirt with me and make small talk.

"So what's your name?" He asks.

"Ebony." I reply.

"Cool my name's Sodapop."

"Um cool." I say looking at my watch once again, 3:22. Oh c'mon.

"Alright. Y'all filled up." Steve says. Thank the Lord.

"Thank you." I say running to get to the front seat. I start to put out before Sodapop stops me.

"Wait! All I know is your name." He says coolly

"Yeah, I realize that and I want it to stay that way. This girl ain't looking for love. Peace out!" I say in a sassy yet serious tone.

"Huh?" I hear him say driving away, "Holy shit Steve! That girl wasn't smitten over me! What the hell?"

I laugh to myself . Damn, that was fun. Now time to get Jesse.

Sorry for the short chapter! I will update again if I can. Comment your thoughts! Thanks for reading love you all!
