It was a sunny afternoon, right after Johnny and Dally died. Ponyboy, Darry, and Sodapop were all with their girlfriends. Pony was at Hayley's house, Darry just left to go to Corrin's house, and Soda was at the gas station waiting to see Adeliene.
Adeliene and Soda have been dating for 7 years, they're engadged getting married in a week. Adeliene had other plans though, she was a Soc, and if anyone found out she was getting married to a Greaser that would be Social Suicide! So when she saw Soda she said...

" Baby, I'm sorry we're done. I can't handle getting married. I mean I'm a Soc, you're a Greaser this could never happen, if you want we could still be friends."

Soda's gentle happy face turned into a sorrowful anger expression. He took a deep breath. Is this really happening? He thought. A week before our wedding?

" Are you kidding? Is this like a joke or something?"

"I'm sorry Sodapop." she whispered to him. Adeliene took his hand, put the ring in the middle of his palm and then closed it. she stood there for a while with a blank expression. Then she hugged him.

" It's really over, huh?" he questioned.

" Goodbye, Soda" she began to say.

"NO! WAIT! I'm dreaming right this cant be happening?!"'He was running to the Lot. He had to get out of there. He didn't know why, he just had to. Steve was there when he arrived.

" Whats wrong Soda?" Steve asked.

" Adielene called off the wedding. She said a Soc and a Grease like me could never happen." He tried saying without crying.

" Awh, Soda I'm sorry come'r!"

As Sodapop walked over to him he cried in his arms. He couldnt help it. He just cried.

" I guess it was just a fairytale, huh?"

" Oh c'mon Soda forget about her. Lets go to your house and i'll make you some cake... What you'd say?"

" Alright, why not. choclate cake does make me feel better!"

When Steve was making the cake Soda rested on his bed looking at "Gone with the Wind" Ponyboy had left on the bedside table.

" Soda cake is ready!" Steve yelled.

" Alright, Coming!" he yelled back.

Soda ran over to the kitchen table to find a glorious piece of choclate cake waiting for him. Soda took a big bite. His mouth watered. Steve always made the best cake.

When Sodapop finished his cake, he wiped his mouth to find frosting all over the napkin.

" Done!" Soda said cheerfully.

" Okay Soda, Well it 2 and Darry won't be home from Corrin's house at 3 so I'll stay here while you go rest in your room. Sound good?"

"Alright, thanks for taking it easy on me today Steve." Soda replied. Steve was a good friend when Soda was upset.

" Sure thing!"

When Sodapop walks up the stairs he hears a knocking sound, he thinks its just Steve being clumsy. Soda was almost to his room when he was enterrupted by Steve.

" Uh... Soda you have a guest."

Sodapop turned around. He was shell shocked! He kept on rubbing his eyes in disbelief. I must be dreaming. I thought she left for good. Whats happening? Is is brake Soda day? He thought.

" Uh..." Sodapop began to say.

" Hello Sodapop." Sandy said.

Sandy, Soda thought.

The memories.

The fun.

The love.

Sandy.
