Author's Note: I wrote this a long time ago for me and my best friend, and have recently decided to try and bring it back. It is mostly based off the movie, more than the book, and it is set before the movie as well as into it.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything, other than the female characters Rylie and Kyana. S.E. Hinton owns the rest.

Chapter 1

"So what are ya doing tonight?" Rylie asked Kyana.

Rylie had dark auburn hair that fell to her mid-back, and tri-colored eyes that looked more violet than any other color. She stood about 5' 6", and had more muscle than fat in her body and she was only 18 years of age.

"Hangin' with the boys I guess. Do ya wanna come over?" Kyana had asked her friend.

Kyana, on the other hand, had dirty blonde hair that fell to her shoulder blades and icy blue eyes that could stare right through you. She was 5' 6" as well and was another girl that had a lot of muscle in her body. She was also only 18 years old.

"Is Two-Bit gonna be there?" Rylie asked smiling. Kyana had known that she liked him. She just couldn't figure out why.

"Most likely," said Kyana. Rylie squealed extremely loud at this response. Kyana smiled and lightly laughed at her friend.

"I can't believe you like him," said Kyana, shaking her head.

"Well...he's cute, funny..."

"And so not your type," Kyana interrupted her.

"He is to my type."

"Whatever," said Kyana opening the gate to the Curtis' front yard. She has been living with them since she was 11 years old. They walked up the sidewalk and into the house. Kyana walked in first followed by Rylie. They were immediately greeted by hoots and hollers from the guys, as they always were.

"Kay guys. Cut it out," said Rylie and all the guys started laughing. The two girls just smiled and shook their heads. Darry was sitting in the same chair as always. Ponyboy, Soda-Pop, Johnny, and Steve were on the couch. Two-Bit was on the floor eating the chocolate cake that Kyana had made.

"Two-Bit, don't you ever do anything else besides eat my cake and watch T.V.?" asked Kyana. He just shook his head and continued on eating the cake in front of him. Kyana noticed that Dally was the only one missing. She went into the kitchen and grabbed a glass out of the cabinet. She filled it with water and then chugged it all. She put the cup in the sink and walked back into the living room. Everyone was talking and Rylie and Two-Bit were flirting around with each other. 'Nothing new there,' she had thought to herself.

Kyana sat on the floor between Steve and Soda. She laid her head down in Soda's lap and he started petting and scratching the top of her head, brushing the hair from her face.

"So where's Mr. Big Shot?" asked Rylie.

"Yeah. Where is Dally?" asked Kyana sitting up and glancing over to Darry..

"Don't look at me," said Darry smiling at the young girl. She put one hand on Soda's knee and the other on Steve's, and then she lifted herself up off of the ground.

"God. You need to lose some weight," said Steve. She playfully hit him and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Well, I'm tired. So, I am heading to bed, good-night everybody. I'll see y'all tomorrow." She said as she walked into her room, which she was sharing with Soda and Ponyboy. There was a dresser, a closet, and two beds. Her bed was against the back wall underneath the window. She changed into her pajamas quickly and climbed into her bed. Just as she got comfortable under the blankets the door opened and in walked Soda.

"Hey Ky," he said.

"Hey Soda."

"Did you have a good day?" he asked, trying to make some kind of conversation with her.

"Not really. It was kind of boring. You?" she asked as Soda climbed into his bed that he had shared with Ponyboy.

"It was alright, I guess. Well...night," he said, mentally hitting himself for the awkward conversation between the two of them.

"Night Coca-Cola," she said smiling. Soda smiled at her little nickname for him.

Kyana woke up at eight o'clock the next morning. Darry was already up and in the shower. Ponyboy and Soda-Pop were still sleeping. She walked into the kitchen and started cooking breakfast, as was her normal routine when she was the first awake. Darry walked in when she was about halfway done and told her to go take a shower and that he would finish getting the food ready.

She walked into her room and grabbed some clothes out of her dresser. She noticed the two boys still sleeping in their bed. She also couldn't help but to notice how cute Soda had looked in his sleep. She walked into the bathroom and quickly took her shower. When she finished dressing and walked out of the bathroom, the living room was full of guys.

"Y'all might as well move in. You basically live here anyway," said Kyana smiling at the group of guys and shaking her head.

"No. We don't need any more people here. Morning Ky," said Soda walking in with no shirt on. He kissed her cheek and then walked off into the bathroom.

"Mornin' Coca-Cola," she hollered to him. She walked in the kitchen to get some breakfast. Darry handed her a plate with what was left of the food.

"I saved you some," he said, laughing lightly.

"Thanks," she grinned. She sat down at the table in the kitchen and ate her breakfast. When she had finished she put the dishes in the sink.

"You know the rule," said Darry as Kyana walked into the living room.

"Soda, Pony. Dishes," she said pointing to the kitchen behind her. She sat down on the couch in Soda's spot as he got up. He stuck his tongue out at her. She retaliated by flipping him off.

"Maybe later," he said winking, as he walked into the kitchen. She threw a couch pillow at him and hit Darry by accident instead.

"Hey," said Darry. Kyana pushed Steve in front of her in case Darry tried to throw the pillow back.

"Sorry," she said from behind him. Darry threw the pillow back at her and hit her legs. She put it back on the couch as the door opened to reveal Dallas Winston on the other side.

"Hey stranger," said Kyana, smiling at the guy.

"I could say the same to you," he said hugging Darry. Everyone knew that Kyana had liked Dally and vice versa, except Kyana and Dally. He walked over to the couch and sat down next to her. He put his arm around her, giving her a slight hug and she gave him a curious look. Everybody had started back up with their own conversations, ignoring the two on the couch.

"What are you doing tonight?" he whispered in her ear. She just smiled up at him.

"I don't know. Why? What are we doing?" she asked facing her body to him, turning her back to face Steve on the couch. Dally just smiled at her. 'This is my kind of girl,' he thought.

"How about a movie?" he asked.

"Sounds good to me," she said still smiling.

"Good."

"Come on, Ky. We gotta go," said Soda. She grabbed her work shirt and followed Soda, Steve, and Darry out the front door.

Kyana had just started working at the gas station with Soda and Steve. She wanted to help the guys out for letting her stay with them. She wore her jean shorts and tied her work shirt off so it showed off her stomach. This usually brought the attention of some male customers their way. The bunch usually worked until about five o'clock that evening, keeping them as busy as possible.

When they got home Kyana rushed into the house and straight to her room. She picked out an outfit for her somewhat of a date with Dally and took a quick shower. When she finished she came out wearing a black wife beater top that showed off her curves and dark blue jeans. She wore her tennis shoes along with the outfit to accentuate it. She had her blonde hair falling loose on her shoulders. Soda noticed Kyana walk into the living room and his jaw dropped.

"Wow. Ky, you look hot," said Steve.

"Thanks," she said smiling. A few minutes had gone by and the phone rang. 'Shit. Dally, where are you?' She thought, hoping that wasn't him calling and canceling on their plans.
