Chapter 6

"There seems to be a lot of that going around." I said.

"A lot of what?" Lindsay asked.

"Well, of people saying that they need to tell you something, but the end up say nothing or never mind. So…yeah." I just stared down and noticed that my watch said 6:00! "Oh shi-snap!"

"What?" Soda and Lindsay said in unison.

"I'm gonna miss basketball practice!" I said.

"A chick who plays basketball?" Soda asked. (A/N: I have no idea if they had basketball back then, but just bear with me people!)

"Yeah, " I said slowly, " so?" Soda started to smile, and he managed a laugh.

"I've just never heard of a girl playing ball." He said.

"Well we do!" Lindsay snapped.

"Are you any good?" he asked, still smiling. I have a feeling that he's not taking us seriously.

"Yeah, are teams is number 1 in the season so far!" I said. " Can you play?"

"Ugh…no."

"I rest my case!" I said.

"Does anyone around here play?" Lindsay asked.

"Well no, but how hard can it be. Pony's trying to play cause he wants to play in college."

"OMG! The NCAA! I totally forgot!" I yelled and ran to my bag and got out the rankings I chose. See, our school loves to b-ball, so we filled out our own little game schedule to see if we picked right. I had Connecticut going all the way! Yeah! Duke's going down!

"The what?" he asked. "What's that?" coming over.

"Ugh…" I figured I'd just tell him.

"My score sheet." I handed it to him. Just as he was looking at it, Dally, I think, came through the door.

"Hey Babe." He said directing it to Lindsay." She turned red. Soda handed me the paper I quickly put it in my bag. "Hey, we're going out tonight guys." He said to us. "You in?"

"Yeah sure." Soda replied.

"Yeah." Lindsay said. They all looked at me. Lindsay gave me a pleading look that wanted me to go too.

"Fine." I said. Soda and Dally left the room so we could get ready. I could have sworn that if Soda hadn't pushed him out of the room, he would have stayed there.

"What do I wear!" she asked excitedly, "what are you going to wear?" To be quite honest, I had no clue. I didn't show that I was excited, but I really was. I think I was starting to like Soda. What do I wear? WHAT DO I WEAR?

"What should we wear?" I asked. We searched through our bags. I was going to stay the night at Lindsay's house and the weekend so I packed a lot of clothes, just in case, and we also had a dance to go to that Saturday, so we were prepared. I wasn't going to go out in a cami and skirt, so I wore my jean capris (sp?) and a blue cami with one of those shirts that tie on at the top right before your stomach and it was white. Lindsay wore her jeans skirt, of course, and a pink cami with a jeans jacket. I put my hair half way up and a curled the layered part of it, like every other part ( I have a lot of layers in my hair). Lindsay just straightened it and kept it down. We walked out with immediate reactions.

"Damn!" Two-Bit said. Then Steve walked through the door, or at least, I think it was Steve.

"Damn Soda! Your girlfriend looks hot!" I turned red. Soda punched him in the arm. Steve winced. Lindsay was too busy staring at Dally, but she snapped out of it and said,

"So, were are we going?"

"I don't know. Where are we going Dally?" Soda asked. Dally, had been returning Lindsay's stare and he was now staring at her and he snapped out of it.

"Ugh…I think there's a party at Buck's house." He said.

"Buck's?" Ponyboy asked.

"Did I stutter?" Dally snapped back. Poor kid.

"Soda, can I come?" Pony asked not really sure of himself.

"Of course you can Pony! What gave the idea that you couldn't?" Soda replied. Pony looked at Dally. I caught myself looking at Soda. He looked at me, then I quickly turned away. He smiled.

"Ugh, can we go now?" Two-Bit asked.

"Yeah man, let's get the heck outta here!"

WELL, THAT'S ALL 4 NOW! PLEASE REVIEW! LOVE YA!
