Okay, this is the chapter where she falls in love. I've sort of had this in my mind since the beginning, but I don't know if it turned out too good. Please tell me what you think. I thank Staci for getting me into this, Alexa for being an awesome friend, Allison for being a fabulous friend and a great writer, Amanda for telling me that my story was great, Holly for being the great and supportive friend she always is, Robby for actually taking an interest in one of my hobbies, Lauren for…well she didn't really help, she just sat back and said how hot Soda, Dally, Pony, and Johnny were, and my reviewers:
imgonnaliveforever: This has many romances, but the main focus is supposed to be Joyella/Two-Bit. Of course, there's also some Valentina/Soda, Alexa/Ponyboy, Rylie/Johnny, and on-and-off Amber/Dally.
NellieGURL: Joyella falls in love with Two-Bit.
UrnotSethCohen: Yeah, you're supposed to feel bad for her in this. And I hope you all think it's interesting
xXFlowerxChildXx: lol, I'm updating as fast as I can, its hard taking care of my brother and finding time to do this. But, since people like it so far, I'm doing my best.
XXXXXX Chapter 4: Sugar Rush XXXXXX
Joyella walked home that day, instead of jogging. She was dreading the detention she had in a few days and the pain in her hands came back. Every time she held a pen or pencil the wrong way, the bruises opened. She walked past the Musso house – it was the biggest one in the neighborhood. Well, it should be, there's 12 people living there. A lot of people wondered why the oldest half of the Musso children hung out with Greasers. They had enough money to be Socs, that's for sure. While Joyella was looking at the house, she didn't notice the group of basketball idiots behind her.
"Move," one of them said, and pushed her. She was halfway to the ground when she felt strong hands lift her back up. Her hands rose from in front of her chest to her broken glasses, making sure they didn't fall.
She turned and adjusted her glasses. There she saw a man with rusty colored side-burns wearing a blue shirt, with a picture of Mickey Mouse. Joyella instantly recognized Two-Bit Matthews, the only 18 year old in their junior year at high school. He had become her savior.
"You okay kid?" he asked.
"Uh, I-I, uh," Joyella said, not quite finding the words to speak.
He laughed. "Oi, why'd those guys push you, anyhow?"
Joyella shrugged. "I don't know."
"What's your name?"
"Joyella," she said, shyly.
"Pretty name. Mine's Two-Bit," he held out her hand. Reluctantly, she took it, ignoring the pain in her cuts.
"Oh, were you about to ring the bell?" he asked, pointing to the Musso house.
"Oh, no, I was erm," she pointed to her right. "My house is this way."
"Oh, need an escort, ya know, just in case?"
"No," she said quickly.
Two-Bit looked surprised, but he nodded. "Alright." He turned.
"Two-Bit," she said. He turned. "Th-thank y-you."
"No problem," he said, smiling. That smile, the same smile which she always used to think nothing of, was now making her melt.
But she knew it wasn't just 'no problem' that he had saved her life. She knew that if she had fallen, she would've gone face first into solid concrete. She might have died. She was ever grateful to this boy… or man? Anyway, she no longer saw Two-Bit as just a guy too stupid to graduate. She saw him as a helpful, kind, funny, young man. Oh, boy, she was in love. Two-Bit walked up to the Musso's house and rang the bell. She continued to her own home, muttering "Stupid, stupid, stupid," to herself. Neither of the two realized that there were four girls watching from the second story window.
"Girls, I think we just found our fifth member," Amber said. She smirked at the other three, who nodded and smiled.
XXXXXXXXXX
Short, I know, but I just wanted to show her falling in love. I promise the next one will be longer… probably. Please tell me what you think. Oh, if your wondering, the title 'Sugar Rush' is a song by Dream Street, an old band.
