My friend Danielle and I walked quickly down the street. Danielle was my
best friend, she was really smart, she had a pretty face, blonde hair, and
blue eyes. I myself had raven hair, gray eyes, and from what people say: a
hundred mile-smile. We had known eachother for ages, and we get along well
since we were both 15 year old girls. We had just finished our movie at the
drive-inn and were hoping to get back in time before our parents would get
home. My mother would kill me if she found me out this late, expecially
without my older sister Jen. We were passing the nearby park when we heard
a bunch of jeers and catcalls. I tryed to ignore this but it was really
starting to get annoying so I decided to look up to see who it was.
It was a bunch of 'Greasers'. They were all sitting along a long bench watching us. I looked down and continued to walk.
"This is just our luck, Dani." I muttered under my breath. Suddenly I heard a bunch of footsteps comming toward us. I was tempted to run but I realized how stupid I would look so I continued to walk pretending not to notice.
"Your Danielle Rivers and Brianne Wallace..." Said one of them. Danielle had stopped walking. I turned around and stopped too. Who wanted to know?
"Yeah?" Danielle said, when she looked up she realized who it was. I heard her take a quick intake of breath and I tryed to stop myself from laughing. It was Sodapop. A really handsome, muscular boy who worked at a gas station somewhere a couple streets back. The boys began to laugh. I couldn't help but smile at her reaction and when I turned to look at her face I noticed even in the dark that she was blushing.
"Sorry." She muttered under her breath. Even though I wasn't the one who should be embarassed I wanted to get out of there as quick as possible, I felt as though I would melt.
"Why are you two wondering off in the dead of the night?" Said one of the boys, I recongnized his face, it was Dallas.
"Well if you call walking home, wondering off, then it's because we would get in trouble if we didn't." I said.
They smiled. "So you two have a curfew then?"
"Well no, we don't. It's just that we weren't exactly supposed to go anywhere tonight." In fact, they were wasting our time right now! We had to get home and they were stalling us, I would get in trouble! But some reason, I didn't seem to care...
"Aren't you two, Socials?"
"And what if we are?" Danielle and I said at the same time. We would both get really defensive anytime someone would mention the 'Socials' even if they didn't mean no harm. We both looked at eachother then turned away.
"Well, if you were, then you would be in our territory." Said Soda playfully.
"Well we are, and we are sorry to be in your territory but it's the shortest way home." I smiled sarcasticly.
One of the boys in the back began to study me, as if I was some complicated answer on a pop quiz.
"I'm Sodapop-"
Danielle cut him off. "We know."
"Who doesn't?" I said, and they laughed again.
"This is my brother, Ponyboy, that's Dally, this is Johnny (the boy that was studying me), and that's Two-Bit.
"Nice to meet you." Danielle and I said together. Boy would I like to see the look on my ex-boyfriend's face if he saw me talking to the Greasers.
"And as you know," I said, "I'm Brianne Wallace, and this is Danielle Rivers." We both smiled.
"Could we offer you a ride?" Said Dally.
Even though I wasn't looking at Danielle I knew she was thinking the same thing. Getting into a car with a couple of Greasers?
"You know we really would..." I couldn't think of anything to say.
"We don't bite." Said Ponyboy.
"And we know this how?" Danielle said.
"Let me finish, we don't bite," he pointed at Johnny and himself, "but they do." He pointed at the rest of the gang.
I laughed. "Well unfortunately you don't know how to drive do you?" I asked. "You know...thanks for the offer guys, but we better not."
"So when exactly are we planning on seeing you again?" Soda called after us as we started walking away.
"Who said we'd see you again?"
It was a bunch of 'Greasers'. They were all sitting along a long bench watching us. I looked down and continued to walk.
"This is just our luck, Dani." I muttered under my breath. Suddenly I heard a bunch of footsteps comming toward us. I was tempted to run but I realized how stupid I would look so I continued to walk pretending not to notice.
