Author's Notes: I'm going to admit that Jenny is somewhat based off of me, I love to fantasize and put myself in there, I'm like Ponyboy I love movies and books. Also I'm not calling myself extremely pretty and all that crap but I'm making Jenny very pretty to show that pretty people don't have to be with the "In" crowd. And lastly I won't switch off their POV's a lot like I did in this chapter, I just wanted to show both sides of Sodapop and Jenny's view when they first see each other.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Outsiders and any of its characters. I only own my characters because I bought them for $49.95 :]

Sodapop's POV
I just walked back to the DX with Steve from our lunch break. We had to get back to work because a customer just showed up. We had to fix the engine in his car, so we started working on it. After a while I started hearing "Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch" by The Four Tops playing really loudly. I looked up and saw that it was coming from Alan's Car Wash across the street. I found this weird because they've never played music before. What I also saw was a girl over there washing a car dancing and singing while washing it with another guy that worked there. I don't know if it was because of her work clothes but she seemed a little rebellious. She was wearing her hair in a messy bun, a white t-shirt, with a jean shirt over it kind of like ours but it didn't say DX on it, she was also wearing jeans that were purposely cut at the knee, and converses.
"I wonder who that is," I said.
"I don't know, I've never seen her before." Steve replied while looking across the street.
I went back to work while the song was finishing up.
Jenny's POV
"Sugar Pie Honey Bunch, you know that I love you!" I was singing along to one of my favorite songs. I had a thing for Motown; it was something about it that made me love it.
My dancing rhythm slowed down as Earth Angel by The Penguins came on.
"So, how do you like Tulsa?" Sal, my co-worker, asked me as we rinsed off a car.
"Eh, I like it okay enough…earth angel, earth angel, please be mine."
"Jenny" I turned around and saw my boss, I walked towards him.
"What's up?"
"I'm really busy right now; could you go get me an ammeter for my car and a Pepsi from across the street at DX?" I looked across the road for a second. "Sure." I kind of couldn't refuse since he is my boss. I grabbed the money from him that he handed me and started walked towards the gas station.
Sodapop's POV
I started to hear Earth Angel playing and I looked back over. The girl wasn't dancing anymore, since it was a slow song. I wish I could see her face a little better to see if she was anything really worth to be looking at. I saw her walk over to a person, and after a couple of seconds of talking to him she looked over her. I quickly put my head back down so she wouldn't think I was staring at her.
"Can you hand me a wrench?" Steve asked. "Sure." I walked over to the toolbox and turned back around. I saw the girl headed over here. She was worth looking at, she was very pretty. I mean nothing like a model but she was close to that range. She was all damp and had money in her hand, she walked up to the door, into the DX and was in there for a couple of minutes.
Jenny's POV
I walked up to the DX and tucked a strand of my dirty blonde hair behind my ear. I walked in and saw a man with a few black car markings smudged on his face.
"Hi, can I get an ammeter and a Pepsi, please."
"Sure that'll be $5.00" He placed the ammeter in a package and the Pepsi on the counter as I placed the $5.00 on the counter.
I grabbed them and said thank you. As I walked out I saw two really good looking guys looking at me. I gave them the smallest and quickest smile I could give, I didn't even show any teeth and that's not like me. I guess because I've never seen such hunky guys back in my town before. I walked back to the car wash and didn't look back at them; well at least till I knew they were not looking at me.
