Nellie's POV (November 7th, 1966)
Paul, David, and James we're all of Bob's friends. They smiled mysteriously at us, creeping me out. My thoughts turned to my baby girl in my stomach and I begged silently that they would just leave us alone. I tried to say something, but nothing came out of my dry mouth. I gulped shakily, trembling.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Two baby Curtis's, a grease monkey, and his girl. Isn't that nice, James," Paul Holden laughed a hard, bitter, and cold laugh mostly to himself.
"Really, David? We're gonna do this again," A voice laughed. Curly suddenly appeared with another member of the Shepard gang. They both flicked their switchblades out and Sodapop and Steve both followed suit.
"Leave them alone, it just ain't worth it," James snapped at Paul venomously.
"I'm in enough trouble as it is," James drawled in a disappointed voice. Figures. He was disappointed that he couldn't risk his social status and trouble with his parents to jump is.
"Let's get out of here." With one last shove, the three boys left the drive-in and I could finally breathe easily again.
"Come on, man," Steve drawled, slinging his arm around Evie. "Let's go catch that movie."
OoOoOoO
"Nellie! Time to get up," Darry opened up my door and shouted. Nervousness and anxiety flooded through me. I wasn't ready at all to go back to school today, but Darry's voice clearly said that I had absolutely no other option.
I quickly got dressed. I had thrown on my bright yellow/gold sweater that had buttons on and my short, dark blue, plaid skirt. My hand still shaking, I put on my minimal make-up, brown eyeshadow and pale pink-red lipstick.
"Are you ready, Nellie?" Asked Sodapop as he twirled the keys around his finger. I could only nod at him as I adjusted my yellow sweater in the mirror.
"Don't worry, you'll do great," Darry assured me, patting me on the back as he rushed out the door towards his truck for work. Within just a few minutes it seemed, Two-Bit showed up to take me to school and I followed Soda out the door. We then parted ways and I reluctantly watched him leave.
OoOoOoO
"Thanks for the ride, Two-Bit," I drawled, grabbing my books out of the back of his can and opening up his door.
"Good luck today," Two-Bit smiled at my turned backside. I shut the door and turned to look at him gratefully.
"Will do," I nodded. "Thanks."
