~*~*Disclaimer Thingy~*~* Hiya!! I know several people have been pushing me to update this (not mentioning any names but…Rina, Angel), so I'm updating it!! This chapter is really really really short, but I'm updating anyway just so Rina and Angel can't yell at me for not updating!! Lol!! But I promise I'll make the next chapter extra extra long!! Is that okies? I think its ok!! Anywho, I only own Carmen. Rina owns herself, and everyone else belongs to S.E. Hinton. Actually you probably already knew that but that's ok!! Lol!! Ok, here's the chapter!!
(***Soda's POV***)
Why the hell did this Rina girl want to help me? Why would someone like her want to help me? "Soda," she broke the silence and I turned to face her.
"What?"
"You don't mind the fact that I'm a Soc do you?" Ok what did this have to do with anything?
"What?" I asked for the second time.
"I mean, we're going to my house right now. Do you mind going to the West Side?"
I shook my head no."Just keep your friends from jumpin me." I noticed she looked down at the ground and shook her head when I said this. "Why'd you shake your head?"
"No reason, it's just why do you think someone's going to jump you?" I clenched my fists in anger. Had she not been listening to me all this time? I had explained everything through my loud mad rantings.
"Because!" She still looked at me, waiting for more of an explanation. "Everyone hates me! Besides, who wouldn't want to jump a fucked up greaser?"
"Me, Soda. I wouldn't want to jump you." Oh wow, a girl just told me that she wouldn't want to jump me. Surprise surprise. Girls don't generally want to jump boys anyway so that meant nothing at all to me.
"Oh." I reached into my back pocket to pull out my switchblade. I needed relief, I needed to cut myself. That would make my anger go away. Atleast it would make some of my anger go away. "Damn!" I cursed loudly when I remembered that it wasn't there. Pony had it, or maybe Steve had it. "This is just great. Just fuckin great," I said under my breath. Now I had no way to get rid of my anger, no way to feel better again.
"Soda," Rina said to me once we were at her place, "sit down." Reluctlantly I agreed and soon found myself sitting on the most comfortable couch I'd ever sat on. The joys that come along with being a Soc. "You need to stop doing this to yourself." I sighed in boredom. That was the only thing that'd I heard on the way to Rina's house; she wouldn't shut up about how cutting was bad for you, it could kill you, and finally you should stop cutting yourself.
"I can't damnit!" I was about to lose my mind. This girl was driving me insane, yet at the same time I liked her. "How would you feel if your whole life got turned upside down and you lost the person that you loved?" She didn't answer. "Then how would you feel when everyone started to hate you?" Again she didn't answer. "Exactly! You'd fuckin hate it and you'd want to kill yourself! Exactly what I want to do now, but I can't 'cause some asshole of a girl won't leave me alone!"
"Soda," Rina began with a smile on her face. "First of all, not everyone hates you. I don't hate you."
"Steve does! Carmen does! Darry does! Pony does! Two-Bit does! Dally does! Johnny does! All of the people that matter hate me!"
~*~*A/N~*~* I'm sorry this chapter was so short!!! I promise the next chapter will be really really long tho!! Anywho review and tell me what you thought of this chapter please!! Thanks!!
