Chapter One: Annoyance
Disclaimer: I don't own the Outsiders!
I woke up with a clang on my window. I half-opened my left eye sleepily and slowly rose up. I glanced out my window and groaned. There was only one way to explain it: Sodapop. We had broken up last week and he kept on pestering me. Kept on saying he still loves me or whatever. When I brake up, I brake up for good. He was so annoying! I grabbed a scrap of paper and a pen, quickly scrawled the words ' Go Away' . I folded it up in a paper airplane and threw it out he window. When he read the message, he scowled and looked up at me with a pleading look. I rolled my eyes. What I really wanted to do was scream "We're over!" at the top of my lungs, but risk waking up my parents? No way! I just rolled my eyes and slammed my window down, signaling that this 'conversation' was over. I fell asleep to the sound of pebbles pounding at my window.
When I woke up that morning, I glanced nervously out my window. Yep, still there. I pulled on whatever I grabbed from my closet, which, if Becca knew, she would practically murder me. I walk to school, so Soda would be at my heels the whole time. The solution was to just ignore him and chat excitedly about some new thing that was happening at school. I scarfed a bagel, brushed my teeth and hair and walked outside, the nervousness prickling every nerve in my body. "Nikki!" Becca squealed. "Just what do you think you're wearing!" I glanced down I was wearing an Auburn sweatshirt, worn jeans, and orange sneakers. My ash-blonde hair was down, as usual. " Clothes." I mumbled. As usual, Becca looked like a fashion model. She had gorgeous green eyes that went amazingly with her carmel-brown hair. Today she wore a North Face jacket, skinny jeans, and black boots. " I'll admit, you look amazing, Becca." I gushed. She turned pink. I guess she was flatterd at the thought that I was flattering her in front of a boy. Speaking of boys, I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder.
I wheeled around to find what I expected, Sodapop looking so...so... sad puppy-like. " What do you want." I hissed. He pointed towanrd the bushes. Whatever he wanted to tell me, he wanted it to be private. I sighed and reluntantly walked with him towards the bushes. Once he was well hidden, he sighed with tears in his eyes. " Listen, Nikki, you know I love you with all my heart and soul, right."He said slowly. I nodded, not to hurt his feelings. " Good. I'm glad we got that straight, but...but...;" He added. " Soda, what do you want to tell me?" I askes with curiosity. " Johnny loves you." He whispered, wrapping his arms around me comfortingly.
