AN: Hey guys, I'm baaaaaaaaaack! Thank you for putting me on story alerts, favoriting, and all of that wonderful stuff. I especially want to thank ForTheloveOfDally for being the only person that has reviewed so far. So please, review after you read :D. And I'm really sorry about not updating in a long time, I've been caught up with The Fourth of July, horseback riding camp, texting, drawing, eating… Well everyone has to eat at least once a day so that's not really an excuse… :P
Thank you all for everything! *Throws cookies everywhere*
Soda: Hey I got a horse cookie!
Me: Lucky… Well, on with the story!
Sodapop POV
I never thought I'd find another girl ever since Sandy tore my heart to pieces with her bare hands. Her blue-gray eyes sparkle like a silver pool of light. Her hair flows down past her shoulders in waves of gold. Boy, is she nicer than Sandy. She doesn't even mind when I hang out with the guys. Sure, this girl isn't perfect in Darry's eyes, because of her temper and occasional loud voice, but she's more than I can ask for.
I bet you're wondering how I met her. Pretty typical, but it was a night I'll never forget.
"Hey Steve, when does your shift end?" I shouted over the counter.
"I don't know, man," Steve wasn't the tallest for the age of 17 going on 18, but he was a cool guy. A bit obnoxious at times with all the flipping off of cars and eating chocolate cake for breakfast, but a best friend I couldn't live without.
I smiled and helped the next person in line with their items.
"Hey Sodapop, baby, how ya been?"
Great, just what I've been dreading this whole day, Sabrina and her little gang of girls that like to hit on me. I find it flattering that all these girls like me for my looks, but I honestly don't think they'll leave until they get what they want. Last week, one of them blondes jumped over the counter and tried to make out with me. Two-Bit was sure jealous after that, him only liking blondes and all.
"What do you want, Sabrina?" I replied, sighing.
"You know what I want, sugar. I want you. I want you to be mine," she said, batting her dark brown eyes. She was almost on top of the counter, boring into my eyes like fangs.
Steved looked over at Sabrina and her gang and made a face. He thought for a second, then yelled, "Hey, clean up that trash at checkout!"
Sabrina shot her eyes from me to Steve and back to me when I was taken over by a laughing fit. She hopped off of the counter and stomped of toward the door.
Natalie POV
I yawned and rubbed my eyes contantly while on my way toward the DX station. I hadn't gotten much sleep throughout the past week due to stress and restlessness.
As I reached the sidewalk, I started spacing out, looking down at my feet or to the side, not paying any attention at all. The next thing I knew, a ticked off girl was tripping over my foot and slamming the door in my face.
"Damn it! Look what you did to my shirt!" she screamed, "Filthy greaser!" She picked herself up off of the ground as the rest of her gang rushed outside.
"Sabrina, what happened?" one of them asked, trying to wipe off the mud caked on her pale green shirt.
"Oh," Sabrin a replied, "I just ran into some DIRT." She shot me a glare that shot right through me, sending a shiver to take over my body. As they were leaving, a few of her outfit members kicked me in the shoulder.
"Stupid Socs…" I muttered once they were out of hearing distance. It was already getting late in the day and that black eye would be there for a while. I sat up and winced as a sharp pain shot up my spine. Then, one of the doors opened, leaving me staring at the best looking guy I've ever seen. I've seen him around Tulsa before, but I've never seen him this close up. He was very handsome, movie star kind of handsome to put it lightly.
"Are you okay?" he said in a sympathetic voice.
My heart skipped a beat. He was actually talking to me!
I stared into his deep blue eyes, attempting to focus. "Yea, I guess," I replied.
He reached out his hand to help me up, and as I took it, I started blushing like crazy. I just couldn't stop staring.
"Well, my name's Sodapop. Sodapop Curtis, but everyone just calls me Soda. What about you? I haven't seen you 'round here,"
I began spacing out again locked in his beautiful eyes. But suddenly, I came back to the real world.
"My name's Natalie, ow!" My eye began pulsing with pain as I put my hand over it protectively.
"C'mon, let's get you back to my house. My shift just ended and I don't think Darry'll mind. We can get that eye checked out while you tell me about yourself."
I let out a giggle and followed him as we started walking.
OK I promise to write more frequently because I already have an idea for chapter 2 :D and no, the first one I wrote was not chapter 1. That was the prologue and THIS is chapter 1… I think I just confused myself… Oh well. Please review pplz and you get cookies! Or… cake. Whatever you really want.
