Chapter 3: Stupid Ex-Boyfriends

Chapter 3: Stupid Ex-Boyfriends

"Soda!?" I yelled down the hall looking for my skirt.

"Yes?" He said poking his head in my room.

"Have you seen my skirt?"

"Uh, why do you need that?"

"Ok play the overprotective older brother gig later, Curly is going to be here in 10 minutes."

"Ok, ok. I think I saw Darry put it in the dryer a while ago, go check there."

I went out the door, down the stairs and to the laundry room. I opened the dryer and after searching awhile, I found it. I went back up stairs to put it on. When I was finished I looked in the mirror. I had on my skirt, as you know, and a dressy top. I had put make-up on again and my hair was in a pony tail but I curled it. Hm, I liked how I looked. I smiled at myself.

After satisfying myself, I went downstairs to wait for Curly. I sat on the couch while getting looks from all the guys.

"What?"

"Your going out, like that?" Pony asked.

'Ugh, brothers.'

"Yea." I scoffed. "What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing."

I glared at him.

After sitting there for a few minutes I heard a honk outside.

"Bye!" I yelled going out the door.

"Be home by midnight!" Darry yelled.

"Ok."

I ran out to the car and opened the door and got in.

"Hey!" I said happily greeting Curly.

"Hey." He responded. "Ready?"

"Yep."

"We have to pick up Wade and Ash, they're coming with us, is that ok?"

"Yea that's fine." Ashley was my best friend. They only girl friend I had outside the gang besides Angela. Ash was dating Wade.

We rode in silence and soon pulled up to Wade's house and honked. Ashley and Wade came prancing out.

"Hello fair lady and man." Wade said getting in with Ash.

I looked at him confused.

"Don't mind him he's been like this all day." Ashley laughed.

"Okay then off we go!"

We went down the road to the drive in movie theatre. Curly and I always went here. It was original, but it was our place. I loved Curly. He originally wouldn't be the type to have a steady girlfriend because usually he got what he wanted and he was done. That's how it originally was with me at first, but I guess he fell in love. Aww. I smiled to myself again.

We paid and went in to park and went over to the seats. That's also how it's always been. We'd always park and go to sit in the seats. I guess Curly and Wade liked to watch out for fights, sometimes I would swear you would think those too are an item. I laughed to myself. I didn't like that Curly picked fights but that was just who he was.

About half way through the movie Tim came strolling down the aisle. He looks pissed. That can never be good.

"Curly, I hate to interrupt, but can you come here a minute? You too, Wade." Tim more demanded than questioned.

"Fine." Curly said clearly agitated. "I'm coming. Come on Wade."

Not long after they left we heard bickering and yelling outside the theatre. Being in the back row was obviously not a good idea. Me and Ash looked at each other and nodded. We got up and went outside to see what was going on and right away I wish I hadn't.

Curly, Tim and some of Tim's gang stood there with some Socs, along with my ex-boyfriend, Paul Holden. When him and Darry were best friends, we also dated. It only lasted about two months though. After I broke up with him he wouldn't leave me alone. It was a way to bother Darry, whom which were enemy's now.

"What's going on out here?" Ashley asked.

"Curly slashed his tires, and now Holden wants revenge." Tim said bored.

'Great. Just had to be Paul's' car tires too didn't it?' I thought.

These guys were idiots if they were trying to start something with the Shepards.

"You guys outta just go away because these guys don't take crap." I said.

"And how would Ms. Sarah know this?" Came Paul's voice.

"None of your business."

He laughed. "Haven't changed have you?" He said slowly approaching.

"Not for you." I said taking a step back.

"Figures. I'd like to get to you better again, Sarah." He said getting too close for comfort.

I felt Curly grab my hand and push me behind him. "Leave her alone."

He smiled. "Okay. See you later." He said winking at me.

The Socs walked away and into the theatre. 'Cowards.'

"Cowards!!" Ashley yelled reading my thoughts.

"Lets go." Tim said to his group. "See you later Sarah."

"Bye." I waved happily.

"Come on let's go back." Wade said.

"You go on, we'll catch up." Curly replied.

Ashley and Wade walked back into the theatre.

We walked to the fence that went around the theatre.

"So why'd you want them to go ahead?" I asked but was interrupted by Curly kissing me. I gave into him and kissed him back. We backed up and my back was to a wall. He picked me up allowing my legs to wrap around his waist. This kissing continued for awhile, the more rough the kissing the longer it went on. I didn't care though. God I love this boy.

It stopped with him dropping me. He smiled at me and I smiled back. "I love you." He said.

'Did Curly Shepard just say 'I love you' to me?' That was the first time I had heard him say that, surprisingly.

"I love you too." I smiled back again.

"Come on." He said taking my hand and leading me into the theatre.

Oooh! Intimate moment! Aww! I'll update soon! Send me reviews, please!!

And since I haven't done this yet: I do not own anything. The Outsiders (and the RK) are souly owned by S.E. Hinton. I only own Sarah and Ashley.
