You know who we own, and I hope your enjoying the story more now =)





*Angel's POV*

I looked over at Soda and smiled, gosh he was cute, I'm glad Rina changed her mind about him; this gives me a chance to get him, but what about Sandy? I'd have to get rid of her first. I sighed looking back at my shoes.

I felt someone's eyes on me.

" Do you want to play?" I looked up hoping that voice was Sodapop's but it wasn't it was Ponyboy. I nodded my head.

" If it's ok with you guys." I said. They all looked at each other and nodded their heads while throwing their cards in the middle. Two-Bit gathered all the cards together and started shuffling.

"So what kind of games do you know how to play? Do you know how to play poker?" Two-bit asked as he passed out the cards without even knowing what to play.

" I know how to play almost every game. I lived in New York, of course I know how to play poker." I said while looking at my cards.

I looked up and Soda was smiling, he either had a good hand or thought my comment was funny. I thought I was going to faint every time he smiled. God he was something!!

"So anyone got anything?" Two-Bit asked pulling me out of my daze; I was too busy thinking about Soda to check my cards.

I smiled at put down 2 aces and 3 queens.

"Wow full house, way to go, that beats me." Soda said putting down his cards grinning. Everyone else groaned and put their cards in the middle of the table.

"Well Angel, look like you win that hand."

" Yeah I guess it does. Don't mess with New Yorkers guys," I said joking. Two-Bit rolled his eyes.

" Well we wouldn't know it, Dally sucks when it comes to poker!" Two-Bit said.

" Matthews, you know that if Dally heard you say that you wont be able to play poker anymore, heck you probably won't be able to do anything!" Sodapop said.

"Naw he wont do anything, at least now while Rina's around, he just met her and she's already got that boy whipped." Two-Bit replied joking.

" Yeah, Dally has been really different since Rina came along. It's like he's turning...turning soft, like Ponyboy!" Steve said. Ponyboy's ears got red.

" Hey leave Ponyboy alone Steve, he can be soft if he wants to!" Sodapop said

" It's ok Ponyboy, your still a tuff kid" Sodapop added while giving Ponyboy a playful punch.

I smiled, it was sweet how Soda was standing up for his little brother like that, it only made me like him more.

Ponyboy smiled and the redness from his face faded away. Ponyboy can turn red!! He seems sweet like Sodapop. I just noticed that Darry didn't seem anything like them. Darry seemed tough, but nice. Sodapop of course must be the sweet one and probably loud too. And Ponyboy was probably the quiet one. I mean he only said like 5 words since I got here.

"Well I'm starting to get hungry, anyone else hungry?" Pony asked standing up ad him and most of the gang followed him to the kitchen for cake, now all that was left was Soda and I.

Soda was throwing his cards trying to knock off a card on the table. He didn't knock off any card, and ended up using all of his cards. I laughed softly.

" That's funny uh?" He said while picking up some cards. I couldn't help but laugh more. He threw cards at me, laughing.

" Wise guy uh?" I said between laughs. I picked some cards and began throwing some at him like he did with me.

I smiled when I ran out of cards, Soda was laughing and the rest of the gang was still in the kitchen.

"So, Rina tells me your seeing some girl, I think she said her names Sandy."

Soda started to pick up the cards. " Yeah, she's a sweet girl. Why you ask?" He said smiling.

"Oh no reason, just making sure I heard her right," I sighed softly so Soda wouldn't hear, Hw was I gonna get him to notice me when he had Sandy?

Sodapop shrugged and threw another card at me. I laughed and threw one at him again.

" So how long have you and Rina known each other?" Soda asked

"We've known each other since grade school, I dropped my cupcake on the playground and she shared hers with me, we've been friends ever since."

"Awwww" - Soda said - " How cute." I laughed and stared into his eyes. His eyes were amazing; I could stare at them all day.

I snapped out of my daze and threw another card at him.

"Stop bein mean to me, how did you and Steve become friends?"

Sodapop grinned. " At recess Steve was in a fight with some big kid. I was watching the whole thing and went up to the guy and told him to back off. I ended up getting a black eye, and I guess we had each others back since then"

"That's kinda how me and Rina are, we don't usually get into that many fights but of we do we've got each others backs. That's what friends are for."

" Yeah that's what friends are for" Sodapop said.





Well that's it for now, what did ya think?? Please review.
