So far this night is boring. I am at a school dance. It's called the Cupid Bash, but I don't even have a date. Then a boy, that looks like he was a senior, walked up to me.
"What's a nice girl like you just sitting around and not dancing?"
My face was turning red. I could tell that he knew I was blushing because he grinned a little.
"Come on baby, so tell me why," the boy said.
Then another guy, around his age, said, "Lay off, Two-bit."
"Can't I flirt with a girl in peace, Soda," Two-bit said. I know that they were just joking because they were smiling at each other.
"Do you want to dance, Two-bit," I said very shyly. He looked at me. Then smiled and held out his hand. Soda looked really jealous.
"No, the question is do you want to dance." I giggled when Two-bit said this. I took his hand and we started to waltz because it was a slow song.
"You're a really good dancer," I said, even shier then before.
"Yeah, well, I've been to a lot of school dances before," he said.
"I forgot to ask you before, not to be rude or anything," I could tell that my cheeks were as red as roses by now, "but you guys don't even go to our school?"
"Oh, well, me and my gang came down to enroll me and Ponyboy."
"Oh, well, I hope to see you two in school." Then, all of a sudden, Soda cut Two-bit off and started dancing with me. I started blushing again. Then I said, "Okay," in a puzzled voice.
"I thought you might want to dance with me for a while," he said. I went along with him for awhile. I started noticing how cute he was, like a movie star. I started to stare into his eyes and couldn't stop. I came back to focus when he whirled me around in circles. I must have been blushing so much, my cheeks could have exploded.
"You're really shy aren't you," Soda said at the end of the song.
"So you've noticed," I said looking away in embarrassment.
"Hey, it's okay. I didn't mean it in a bad way." He said this to cheer me up and he started to blush. I giggled. Then one of my friends came up.
"Hey, Chey. What's up," I said.
"Who is this," she said in a friendly kind of way. She had her date with her, which was Zack. He was my size, very handsome, and muscular. Cheyene was smaller by like a foot.
"My name is Sodapop Curtis," he said with a hand gesture.
"Do you go here," Cheyene asked.
"No. Me and my older brother came down to enroll Ponyboy, and we're going to stay awhile," he said.
"Okay, well, me and Zack are going to go dance."
"See you later," Zack said.
"'Kay," I said. "Do you want to go and get something to eat?"
"Sure," Soda said. We went to the pizza line. People were staring at us because Soda wasn't dressed formal, but I didn't care about that.
Next we went to a table. "Are you enjoying yourself now," he asked. I started blushing. I wanted to say I was having the time of my life, but I just said, "Yeah."
"So, pretty miss, what's your name," he asked.
"Amanda Carton," I answered.
