Chapter One
Meeting Him
Molly's P.O.V
I was up in my room when I first saw him. I was looking out the window, day dreaming about when I grow up and get married. I heard Dad's car pull up. I opened my window and looked down to him. There was some other guy with him. He looked tall and slim. I looked down at what I was wearing and blushed. I was in some baggy sweat pants and a long shirt. I closed my window and went to my closet. I put on a white shirt and a blue skirt that went to my knees. I put my long hair up and walked down stairs. The man and my dad were sitting on the couch talking to my mom. The man had greasy, dark hair. He was really muscular; I could even see that through his shirt. He looked over to me and smiled.
"Darry, that's my daughter, Molly. Molly this is my boss, Darrel Curtis." Dad said, motioning me over. I walked over and shook hands with him. He had the coldest eyes I'd ever seen. He smiled kindly at me. I sat down beside Dad and snuck looks at Darrel. Soon Christina came down stairs and sat beside Darrel. She does that all the time. When someone brings someone new home she tries to make them feel uncomfortable. Usually she doesn't have to try very hard. Darrel looked at her for a minute then looked over to my dad. "Uhm… Christina… Go with your mother and help her in the kitchen…" Daddy said, smiling nervously.
"Why?" She asked getting closer to Darrel. "I want to meet our new friend…" She said, holding he hand out to him. "Hi, I'm Christina Lily Jacks. I like bubble gum." She told him, like she was a five year old. Darrel shook her hand.
"I'm Darrel Shayne Curtis, Jr. If I give you some gum will you get off of me?" He asked, digging in his pocket.
"Maybe…" Christina answered, watching him. He gave her a sick of gum and she didn't move. Dad's face turned red.
"Christina… Go to the kitchen…" He said firmly. She shrugged and got up.
"Wait…" She said turning back around. She walked over to Darrel and started to mess with his hair.
"Christina!"
"I'm going." She said leaving, after she spiked Darrel's hair. Darrel ran his hand over his hair and it went back to the way it was. I got up and went with Christina.
"Christina! That's Dad's new boss!" I said when we got to the kitchen.
"So? I just wanted to get to know him…" She said with a shrug. She put the stick if gum in her mouth.
"Why can't you try to get to know him by being normal for five minutes?" I asked sitting down.
"Because, that would be no fun." Mom came in and hit Christina with a rolled up news paper.
"You stay in here and cook dinner." She said, tossing Christina a pan.
"Why?" Christina wined. Mom crossed her arms.
"I don't want to bother Mr. Curtis anymore. You girls can cook. Get Abby to help." Mom answered, walking back into the living room. I sighed and went to the window. Abby was outside, reading another science book. I opened the window and leaned out.
"Abby! Mom wants you to come cook with us. We got guest!" I yelled to her. She glared my way, but I just shut the window. She came in soon after and got right in my face.
"It's 'we have guest'." She hissed sitting down. I rolled my eyes and got some water boiling. A few minutes later Darrel came into the kitchen and grabbed the phone. He didn't seem to notice us so; we just kept our mouths shut.
"Dallas what happened? Is the fuzz coming? Well if it's hot they might not know… Okay… I can't talk right now. Yeah. Stay at my house with Pony will ya? Thanks. See ya later." Darrel hung the phone up. As soon as he did Christina was right in front of him.
"Were you talking to The Dallas Winston?" She asked. Oh no… Christina was once in a drug store when "The Dallas Winston" was there. She watched him take something and slip it into his pocket. He looked at her and winked. Ever since, she's been in love with him.
"Yeah. You know him?" He asked sitting down at the table.
"Know him? She worships him." Abby said, cooking the rice. Christina glared at her.
"Well I ran into him in a drug store once…" Christina said, blushing for the first time. I sighed and checked the ham in the oven.
"So, how old are you three?" Darry asked. I didn't turn or say anything. I knew someone would answer.
"Christina and I are twins and we're sixteen. Molly's seventeen." Abby said, putting the rice in a bowl. She put it on the table and got the ham out. Christina told Mom and Dad that dinner was done. Dinner was going fine. Mom, Dad, and Darrel were talking about work.
"So, Darrel, you look mighty young to be Stan's boss." Mom said.
"Call me Darry. Yeah I'm twenty. I started off working so hard I kinda just got put as the boss. It pays good." He said smiling.
"It pays well." Abby said through her teeth. Everyone looked at her. No one said a word. We didn't like it when she did that to guest. Mom laughed nervously.
"Oh, isn't she just funny?" Mom asked, not expecting an answer. Darry looked away from everyone. He looked over to me.
"So… I have a brother that's seventeen…" Darry said. I smiled.
"What's his name?" I asked, trying to make conversation.
"Sodapop." He told me. I knew him. He dropped out not too long ago. He was a really tuff guy. Later that night Darry left.
"Well Darry, are you sure you need to leave just yet?" Dad asked standing at the doorway with him.
"Yeah. I need to see if Dally's okay… Oh and I'll tell him you said hi, Christina." Darry said with a wink. Christina smiled at him and waved.
"See ya later." She said going up stairs. He looked over to me and I froze. It was just something I did when he looked at me.
"See ya, Kid." He said rubbing my head. I blushed and slapped his arm away.
"Bye." I said, walking away. I wanted to look back to him but, I restrained myself. That whole night I couldn't get the handsome Greaser out of my mind.
