Chapter 2
All day I found myself thinking about Patrick. It was weird.
After school I was at my locker getting my books out.
Then he approached me. "Hey"
I ignored him.
He sighed "Look, I know you're a greaser, but I'm not like Randy or any of the Socs."
I looked at him disbelievingly. "Really?"
"Yeah, my parents tried to get me to be like my brother, but I didn't believe in picking on innocent little kids for fun. He and the other Socs want nothing to do with me because of that and honestly, I couldn't care less."
I looked at him and he smiled. He was really telling the truth. "You're okay" I smiled
We could've talked more, but then the bell rang.
"Listen, maybe we could hang out sometime" he said
I smiled "That'd be nice"
"See you soon then" He smiled and walked away
I walked home with Danielle that afternoon and told her about everything.
"How do you know he's really like his brother?" she asked
"Dani, he wore rings" I said "And even if he wasn't like his brother, mine wouldn't let me be within two feet of him."
"Yeah, but he's really cute" Danielle smiled teasingly
"Shut up" I said then smiled "I know"
We walked inside and were greeted by Sodapop making out with Lexi, his girlfriend on the couch.
"Holy jesus!" I cried
They both broke apart and looked at us. "Hey girls" Soda said
"Um,,,ew" Danielle said
"What have I told you about making out before dinner?" I scolded smiling
"Told them when I got home" Pony said casually, walking in.
Soda smiled confidently and Lexi laughed.
"What's up girls?" she asked
"Nothing" we said casually
We all hung out and talked until Darry came home. He told us to start our homework, which we kindly obeyed, but stuck our tongues playfully at him. Pony, Soda and Lexi laughed at that and we took our books out after Darry returned the favor with a playful yet intimating glare.
My phone rang right as I wrote the last sentence down in my History report. I answered it, "Hello?"
"Hey Nikki" Patrick said
"Oh, hey" I said surprised "How'd you get my number?"
"School directory" he said
Of course. I mentally slapped myself. "What's up?"
"You wanna get some pizza tonight?" he asked "Papa's Italiano?"
"Sure" How bad could it be?
"Great, meet me there at 7"
"Okay, see you then" we hung up
Oh my God.
Danielle saw my expression and smiled. "Did you just get a date with Patrick?"
I looked at her. "It's not a date, It's just two people at a restaurant eating pizza. And could you hush up about it?"
She raised her hands in surrender. "Sorry"
After we finished our homework she had to go home. I had to talk to someone for advice so I went to find Lexi. I found Lexi and Soda talking on the couch with his arm around her and her head on his chest.
"Lexi can I ask you something between you and me?" I asked
"Yeah sure." She got off of Soda's lap and we went into the kitchen.
Later we were done talking so she went back to Soda.
"Lexi-pop, what did Nikki what?" I heard Soda ask
"Oh nothing" Lexi said
He kissed her cheek
At seven I got dressed in a white top, a red cardigan and black skinny jeans. I walked downstairs and saw Darry, Soda and Pony sitting at the table.
"Guys, can I go out for pizza tonight?" I asked
They looked up at me and looked at each other. "With who?" Darry asked
I took a deep breath. "Patrick."
Author's Note: Now let me clarify that our dear lovely greasers know everything there is to know about the Socs, including Randy's brother. I bet you guys feel A LOT of sympathy for Nicole right now. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
