SOCI GREASE
Chapter # 1:
It was finally dark enough outside to sneak into the Nightly Double. The shadows of seven hoods crept through a tight opening in the gate that surrounded the parking lot.
They could have paid like other people did, and avoided taking a chance with the law knowing all too well that they would be arrested if caught. They actually had enough money for once to get in without a car, but the "Wanted Dead or Alive" Dallas Winston wouldn't hear of that.
Ponyboy couldn't believe Darry let Dally talk him into this. He was watching him and Sodapop with his very own eyes sneak in the drive in.
One by one they all crawled under the gated fencing that was supposed to keep them from getting into the back of the parking lot. There were always plenty of empty seats just incase a guy took the date a little too far and his girl walked out on him.
They all sat down in the seats. Ponyboy was glad that he hadn't come alone tonight. He was still a little scared after getting jumped the day before, and he would have never remembered to bring a jacket if Darry hadn't nagged him about it.
A Mickey Mouse cartoon came on before the movie feature as it always did.
"All right! It's Mikey Mouse," Two-Bit yelled.
"You can't get enough of that at home, Two-Bit?" Steve said with obvious sarcasm dripping from his tone of voice.
"You mean our house," Sodapop chimed in. "You should be paying rent as much time as you hang around."
"Hey, I spend less time there than Johnnycakes does," Two-Bit snorted.
Johnny said nothing. It was suddenly silent. No one said anything. Dally slapped Two-Bit upside the head, but was interrupted when a big commotion was heard coming from several tuff Mustangs several isles in front of them.
"Hey, I can't here Mickey Mouse!" Two-Bit exclaimed.
A nicely dressed girl slapped the soc she was with hard enough to leave a mark.
"Let go of me you drunkard!" she yelled.
Her boyfriend landed a hard swat on her bottom. A very high pitched yelp escaped from her vocal chords.
"Now you need to behave yourself little girl," he said with a sly smile crossing his face.
"Bob, I told you. I'm not going out with you when you're drunk. I don't like the person you become."
Wild laughter erupted from the group of socials, and no one noticed the police officers that had walked up to them.
"Is there a problem here, gentlemen?" a sudden deep voice asked.
The fuzz stood there holding their flashlights and wooden sticks. They didn't look very happy as if they were suffering from a bad case of too many jelly doughnuts and cups of highly caffeinated coffee.
"No there is not," one of the tallest girls snapped and walked away with the rest of her family and friends.
"Man, that's what I call a show," said Steve.
"It ain't over yet, buddy," Sodapop said. "They're coming our way."
The girls were heading in their direction, smiles gone from their faces and wild strays of hair floating towards the cold wind.
They sat down in front of the gang. Two-Bit licked his lips at the blond in front of him. "Nice," he whispered.
"Time for a little fun," Dally snickered. It was time to pull out all his old tricks. After all, Johnny had to learn sometime. He wondered if Darry might be up to teaching baby brother a few things.
He smirked. "Hey, Darry; tonight you just get to kick back and act like the greasy hood that you are. No old man acts for the little Pony," he teased.
Ponyboy rolled his eyes.
"Ponyboy knows to behave himself, and not get slapped," Darry responded looking at Ponyboy.
Pony smiled. He couldn't believe it. Darry hardly ever played around with him like that anymore.
"Don't worry, Darry," Two-Bit piped in. "The kid wouldn't know what to do with a girl if she came with an instruction booklet." He laughed.
Sodapop jabbed him in the gut from the other side. "You leave my brother alone," he chided.
"Why should I?"
"Because if you don't, I'll pop you in the nose," Soda replied.
One of the soc girls, the pretty blond Two-Bit had been eyeing, turned around and gave them a harsh look.
"Will you can it? Some of us came here to watch a movie, not listen to a bunch of thugs act like clowns rejected by the circus."
"Two-Bit grinned at her. "You're just being nice. We really don't deserve that much credit," he joked.
He laughed, making the girl laugh also. Two-Bit had always been a good icebreaker.
"My name is Sabrina," she said smiling.
"Two-Bit," Two-Bit said happily.
"Is that your real name?" asked Sabrina.
"Ah, no. My real name's Keith, but no one ever remembers that."
The gang all snickered.
"Alright! Time someone besides me got teased about their name," Ponyboy cried out.
"And what is your name," a young girl asked politely.
She had brown hair that was neatly braided into two twin pigtails. The girl wore a pretty yellow dress with matching hair ribbons. Ponyboy thought yellow was his new favorite color.
"I'm Leah," the girl told him shyly.
She blinked her green eyes. Ponyboy felt like he was going to melt. Maybe he could learn to like people with green eyes.
"My name's Ponyboy."
"Would you like to come with me to get some popcorn and Pepsi," Leah asked.
"Sure, I love Pepsi. It's my favorite."
"Mine too," replied Leah.
After they left Soda moved closer to Darry. "Dad did have the talk with Pony?" Sodapop whispered to his older brother.
"I sure hope so," Darry whispered back. "I don't want to do it."
"Well you're not pawning it off on me," Soda said. "I'm the fun brother remember."
"Your brother better not try anything on my sister," a voice interrupted. They looked up. A red headed soc was staring right at them.
"Our brother's fourteen," Darry told her. "I think your sister is safe."
"No one is safe around you hoods, even if she is older," the girl stated flatly.
"How old is she?" Darry asked.
"She's sixteen, the same age I am. We're fraternal twins."
"But you don't look anything alike," Soda protested.
"That's what fraternal means," Darry told him.
"What," Sodapop looked at him confused.
"I'll explain it latter," Darry said with a sigh.
Soda shook his head slightly. "Do you want me to go after them?" he asked the girl.
"Only if I go with you," she said.
Sodapop walked off after her. He looked back at Darry and mouthed the words "I'll keep an eye on him."
