Disclaimer I don't own the Outsiders

Sylvia tapped her fingers absentmindedly on the table in the Dingo. She was moving on to her third cigartette in as many minutes. She knew Dallas came in and she wanted to see him.
The reaction she got the night of the party from him was one she hadn't expected.
She was expecting a punch or something. She saw the look on his face when he saw them. For a second just a second he looked crushed and then his eyes blazed angrily and he stormed off.
She thought of the boy she had kissed. When she pulled away and he saw Dallas he'd looked so scared. He was young, too young for her but he was cute. Before she knew it there were people shouting at her and him and all he did was stand there and take it. She had grabbed him and that kid had taken it all.

"Hey." Someone called bringing her back to reality.

She noticed the guy had put his foot up and the bench beside her, blocking her in.

"I want my ring"

His words were so angry he spat them at her.The tone scared her a little.
She saw the manager of the Dingo watching preparing for trouble but she also knew Dallas wouldn't hurt her, not here anyway.
She noticed the kid from the party, the one she kissed standing nervously behind Dallas with another black haired boy. Suddenly there names popped into her heads. Ponyboy and Johnny, Dallas spoke about them a lot. She also knew Pony had been hanging out with another girl from the neighbourhood, she'd probably blown his chances.

"You listening?" Dallas said again angrier this time.
He was more anger at the fact she made him feel like this. Dallas liked to think he was an Island. Nobody could get to him. God knows he'd done the dirty on her often enough but every time he did it was Sylvia's face he saw. He wasn't sure why, she was tough she'd beaten him up on many occasions. Dallas had found that amusing and he had deserved it. Sylvia sighed and slipped the ring off her finger.

"I'll get it again." She said blowing smoke from her cigarette into his face.

Dallas grabbed her wrist as she handed him the ring.

"Don't be so sure babe." He smiled.

His words cut through her and sent a chill down her spine. His grip was tight on her wrist and it was starting to hurt. He was starring at her.
She struggled and he let go.

"Go home." He spat removing his foot and standing up straight.

Sylvia grabbed her jacket and stood up.

"I was going anyway." She said coolly pushing past him as she went.

Dallas watched her and turned back towards the other two boys. He noticed Pony was still nervous around him he didn't know why if he was going to hit him he'd have done it already.

"Wanna coke?" he asked. "Or a burger I'm getting a burger."

"Just a coke." Both boys said.

"Geez do you two share a brain or something?" He asked smiling as he went to order.

"So Pony." He began sitting in beside him and handing him a coke.

Pony almost jumped he'd been day dreaming again, staring out he window and daydream. It was typical of the kid.

"Dally." Pony said quietly so quietly Dallas almost didn't hear him. "I don't feel too good"

"What's with you kid. I told you not to worry things are cool between us besides if I hit you Darry would kill me. That greaser's tougher then me"

He took a bit out of the burger and then looked at Pony. The kid was kind of pale.
