The next morning Lori was in the bathroom trying to cover up the cut on her face and the bruise that had formed. She thought to herself that she was lucky the guys didn't tell any of her brothers, but she then had to think of an excuse as to why there was a cut and bruise on her face, she couldn't use the same excuse as she wasn't even meant to out of the house. She looked at the clock seeing that it was 9:00 am, Darry had to be out of the house in half an hour as did Soda and Ponyboy was already at school, just like Soda, Lori had dropped out of school to get a job in The Dingo, but she had promised Darry she would go back next year. She went and turned the shower on so it sounded like she was having one, she grabbed her Look magazine and sat down by the floor and started reading 'this should keep me entertained for half an hour' she thought. Just as she turned onto the 5th page there was a banging on the bathroom door.

"Lori! Will you hurry up in there I need to pee!" Soda shouted. She moved away from the door and closer to the shower.

"I'm taking a shower soda! Hold it in!" She shouted back.

"I'm about to piss myself, have you got the shower curtain up?"

"Yeah why?" She asked confused.

"Then I'm coming in!" She panicked at this and jumped right in the shower, with all her clothes still on getting soaked. She heard the door open and then close shut again.

"So erm, are you and Darry setting on to work in a minuet then?" She asked trying to avoid the water, finding it impossible as the shower was tiny.

"Yep, we're off now, won't be back till around 6." She heard the toilet flush and the tap running.

"Oh okay, well I think I'm sleeping over at Angels house tonight so I won't see you." She said. Angel was Tim and Curley Shepard's sister, her name was really Angela but everyone liked to call her Angel.

"Well okay then, just make sure you don't get into any trouble with her. I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Bye Soda." She heard the bathroom door open and close again, and before fully stepping out the shower she peeked behind the curtain making sure that he had left. When she saw the he wasn't there she stepped out of the shower dripping wet; she listened to the byes that Soda, Darry and Steve were saying to probably Two-Bit and Dally. After she heard Darry's truck start up and drive away she stepped out of the bathroom, running into both Two-Bit and Dally. As soon as Two-Bit saw Lori he burst out in laughter.

"What you decided it was too cold have a shower naked and wore your clothes?"

"Soda thought I was having a shower when I wasn't and came into the bathroom to take a piss so I had to jump in the shower."

"Why?" Dally asked.

"Because I've been avoiding him, Pony and Darry so they won't see this cut and bruise on my face!"

"You're going see them later on though?"

"Nope, I'm going Angela's later. Now if you excuse I'm going to change into some dry clothes, re-do my make-up and pack my bag and then head over to Angels, bye guys."
