I want to thank GreaserGirlie and DALLYsaysSHUTtheHELLup for helping me in the chapter. Now I'm going to keep it in Liz's POV.
So enjoy! :D
(A/N: This part might not be good. I had to re-type this part 3 times so I'm this probably isn't the best)
I love to sing. It's been my passion since I was a little girl. I would always be in school concerts and contests. I also sing all the time around the house. If I could, I would move to California and be a singer.
I was so happy when I found out my first class was Chorus. The room was big and teens were walking, talking, and even running around.
I walk in and see Ponyboy talking to an older guy. He sees me and walks towards me. "Hey, you have Chorus first?"
"Yea. I thought we weren't in the same grade.", I tell him.
"Well, in non-academic classes, all the grades are combined. One sec, I want to introduce you to someone."
He turns around and calls out a boy's name. "Hey, Two-Bit! Come here!"
The boy I saw Pony talk to came towards us. "Liz, this is Two-Bit. Two-Bit. Liz"
"Well hello miss. Are you new here?"
I smile at him, "Yes, sir. Are you a senior?"
"Junior", he corrected.
"That's cool. I finally know someone that's in the same grade as me."
Two-Bit looks at me. , the teacher, comes in the room as the bell rings.
She introduces me to the entire class. "May you please sing a song for us hun? I need to know how you sound first.", she asks me.
I'm going to sing in front of everyone. I think. I always bite my lips when I think. I got it! I nod at and look to my class. I sing 'Bang Bang' by Nancy Sinatra. It isn't my favorite song, but it was the first one that came in my head. When I finish, the room is silent. Did I sound horrible? I probably did.
Suddenly, Ponyboy and Two-Bit started clapping. Others joined them. I just smile and sit next to Ponyboy.
Two-Bit gives me a grin, "You got one hot voice there Liz". I could feel my cheeks heat up a little. Too me, my voice wasn't that amazing. It was just ordinary, like me.
Apparently Two-Bit and I had 6 classes together, which is good because I didn't want to be alone.
The bell has rung and we're walking down the hallway to the cafeteria.
"I'm so glad we have lunch together. I swear was going to freak if I had to sit by myself.", I say.
He smirks, "Well then you can call me your savior." I laugh, "Okay savior. What's good to eat here?"
We're in the lunch-line. He whispers in my ear, "Personally, the food here stinks." I then look down at my stomach. Man, I think I ate too much yesterday.
I bite my lip, "Maybe I won't eat anything." He backs up a little. "Woah. The food isn't the best. But you don't have to go all anorexic."
"Sorry. Okay. Umm..." I take a tray and put a piece on pizza, an apple, and a bottle of water on my plate. I turn to Two-Bit, "Is this good enough?"
He grins, "Perfect. I don't want a pretty little thing like you starving".
I blush. He called me pretty. We walk outside and sit on a green bench a bit near the school.
Then, I recognize two girls sitting nearby. They were the same girls I saw (and bumped) at that grocery store. The red-head wasn't with them though.
The two girls sure do remember me, because they start making rude comments. "Look at that slut of a girl Two-But is with", the brunette says. "I heard she raped a man once. Is that even possible?", the blond girl says, giggling.
Man, I just want to punch them both. But I felt more ashamed than mad. I put my head down a little to hid my face.
Two-But seems to notice and touches my hand. "Don't worry. Just ignore those bitches. No one really gives a damn about them anyways."
I pick up Johnny from school. We walk to the apartment, but I stop in the lobby and look at him. "Look, I'm hanging out with some friends today. So you'll stay was Mrs. Jane."
Mrs. Jane use to go to college with my mom. She and her two children live on the second floor. Johnny seems to be happy. He gets to see Aaron and Kyle again.
"Make sure you behave. Got it?"
"Got it"
We go to Mrs. Jane's door. I talk to her for a while and then get ready to leave.
"See you soon, dear.", Mrs. Jane says, waving.
I wave back and walk to the nearby playground where I told Two-Bit to meet me. He leans against what I think is his car. He waves and smiles at me and I do the same to him.
We get into the car and he starts driving. "Hey, is this Chrysler 300B yours?", I ask.
"Yea", he gives me a weird look. "You know cars?"
"A bit", I say smiling. I guess all that time in the auto shop seemed to finally pay off.
We get in a drive-in movie theater. I see Ponyboy, Sodapop, and another boy near food court. Do they have any female friends?
"Nice seeing you again Liz.", Ponyboy says.
The boy gives me a look. "So you're Liz?"
I nod, "and who might you be?"
He bowed a little, "Steve Randle at your service."
"Steve here works was the DX with me.", Sodapop says.
The guys are all leaning against a red car. When I get a better look, I gasp a little. "Is that the 1966 Ford Mustang?"
Everyone's looking at me like I'm crazy.
Steve chuckles, "I didn't think a babe could know cars." Men can sure be sexist sometimes.
I ignore the fact that he said 'babe'. "Very little though. When I was young, I spent most of my days with my uncles. One sold cars and the other was an auto-mechanic. Who's car is this?"
"It's mine. Just got it a couple months ago.", Sodapop says. I smile. "Darry uses it more though. So I guess it's not completely mine."
The movie was starting already and we all sit on the first row of the bleachers. I mouth lines that were originally from the book. Ponyboy and I look at each other from time to time. I guess that's happens when someone else knows the same things you do.
Steve and Sodapop whisper to each other and Two-Bit tells them to shut up.
We were now half-way. I yawn and decide I'll finish watching it later. (A/N: The real movie lasts 4 hours)
Two-Bit and Steve are getting some popcorn and Pepsi since they're hungry. Sodapop seems to notice my tiredness. "You would you like me to drive you home?"
I nod my head yes and yawn again. We both get up from the bleachers. Sodapop says something to Ponyboy, then leads me to his car. We both climb in and he starts driving.
We're both silent now, too tired or shy to talk. The apartment isn't far from the drive-in, so we make it there in no time.
I get out of Sodapop's car. "Thanks for the ride.", I say to him.
He smiles, "Anytime."
For a while we both just stand there. A winter breeze moves against me and I shiver a little. Nothing happens, so I guess I have to do something.
"Goodnight Soda", I say and turn to walk to my room. I don't know how, but I could feel his gaze. As if he hadn't left, even moved.
"Wait.", he calls out. It wasn't loud, but I could still hear his voice. He runs a little towards me, then stops. "I was wondering if you wanna get a bite to eat tomorrow."
Woah. He's asking me? "Sure, I guess. What time? and where?"
"I was thinking maybe at 6. I could pick you up.", he says. He looks so confident. In books I've read, guys are mostly nervous when they ask a girl out. Maybe he wasn't 'technically' asking me. Maybe he's just trying to be nice.
"Okay. I guess I'll see you tomorrow." And with that, we both go our separate ways. As I take the stairs up to my room, I begin to think about what I should where, or what I should say.
It's not that I was madly crushing on Sodapop. I mean, his pretty good-looking and seems really nice. It's just...this is my first date, ever.
Yeah! First date! See what happens next chapter!
Me: *sighs* I still need to go on my first date.
