It was the next day and I could hardly wait for tonight. I was looking
everywhere for the perfect thing to wear. I finally found a cute little
blue shirt and the best blue Jeans I had. I then took a shower, got
dressed, and did my hair and make-up. In my opinion I looked stunning, and
I didn't see how Dally couldn't have noticed me.
It was finally time we all met in the corner of Pickett and Sutton, so I left. Dally was already there when I got there, and so was Pony and Johnny. We had gotten there a little early, so we all decided we should go out for a little fun before we head for the Nightly Double. We went to buy a few Cokes, and we went to this store where Dally had shoplifted two packs of Kools. Then finally we went to the Nightly Double. We went in through the back fence because Dally hated doing anything legal. We sat behind these two girls, when Dally started taunting them. I knew what he was doing. That's his way of flirting. I was getting real jealous. I felt like I was getting red with anger, and I just wanted to slap that little red head across the face. He was the only one doing it because I knew Ponyboy wouldn't do it and Johnny went out for a Coke. I noticed that Dally was getting impatient with the girls so he decided to put his feet in the back of the red head's chair.
"Get your feet off my chair and shut your trap," she said. The minute I looked at her I knew I was going to hate her.
"Who's gonna make me?"
The other girl had joined the conversation. They were talking about seeing him around the rodeos, and he asked them a few questions.
"Oh my my, you've got me scared to death. You ought to see my record sometime baby. Guess what I've been in for?" With those words I knew she was going to die. I would hunt her down and beat her to death, but not in front of Dally.
"Please leave us alone. Why don't you be nice and leave us alone?"
"I'm never nice. Want a Coke?" My God I hated her every second more and more. Dally was supposed to be mine. I had to get rid of her somehow.
"I wouldn't drink it if I was starving in the desert. Get lost hood!"
Dally left after that. My God, what the hell was her problem? No one talked to Dally like that. I knew I had to kill her, but I wasn't sure if she even liked him yet. Ponyboy and the redhead, whose name was Sherri or Cherry Valance, were talking. Johnny came back a while after, but didn't talk much. Then Dally came back with an armful of Cokes.
He gave Cherry and Marcia, which was the other girl, a Coke and sat next to Cherry. That really got me fired up. After the movie was over she was going to get it. "This might cool you off," I heard Dally say.
She got the Coke and immediately threw it in his face. "That might cool you off, greaser. After you wash your mouth and learn to talk and act decent, I might cool off too."
"Fiery, huh? Just the way I like them." After that he put his arm around her, but Johnny stopped him. Every minute I hated her more and more. I so wanted to cry, but I knew that wasn't a choice. Dally would think I was soft if I did. Then Johnny said something that startled me.
"Leave her alone, Dally."
"Huh?" He was surprised too because Johnny hasn't spoken to anyone like that. He can't scare anyone, not even a goose. Then Johnny said, "You heard me. Leave her alone."
Dally scowled for a second, and then left with a frown on his face. I knew why he didn't hit Johnny. He was the gang pet. If it was someone else, he would beat them down in a second, but he just couldn't do it to Johnny.
I decided to stay because I was going to tell Cherry off, but first I was being a little friendly. I finally introduced myself after not talking at all. We got along all right, but I hated her. Two-Bit came a little while after, and he got along well with Marcia as they both had the same personality.
The movie was finally over, and I told everyone to go on ahead, but asked Cherry to stay behind. As soon as they left I slapped that little bitch. "Stay away from Dally you little bitch. He belongs to me. Stay with your own kind, or be sure to get the beating of your life. I'm warning you bitch. Get one step closer to Dally and I'll hunt you down and kill you." With that said I left, but I managed to see the look that she had on her face. She looked scared and I knew that would keep her away for a while.
I headed for Buck Merril's place because I knew Dally was going to be there. Buck was having a party, and plus I needed a place to sleep.
I finally got there and walked in. Damn was that party getting dirty. I walked into a bedroom and found Dally there.
"Hey," he said as soon as he saw me.
"Hey," I said.
"I thought you were stayin' over at Pony's."
"I was going to, but I decided I needed to stay away from that house for a while. Besides Johnny needed a place to stay, and so I think he's gonna stay at the Curtis' place."
"I see. Well there are no more rooms here, so where you gonna stay?"
"I have no idea, but I guess if you scoot over then I will have a place to sleep, won't I?"
"I guess. Fine." So he scooted over, and I lay right next to him. "My God, you sure are pretty. I never noticed until I got real close to you." He leaned over trying to kiss me, but I couldn't give in. I wanted to more than anything, but I couldn't let him know that. He kept whispering the nicest things in my ear that I just had to give in. I turned my head, and he kissed me. I stood there for about 3 seconds, and then I slapped him.
"What the hell was that for?" he said.
"You deserved it! You never took notice in me before. I was always there, and did you even once ask me out for a drink or something? No, but today since that Cherry girl turned you down, you turn to the last person you could think! Me! My God you make me sick! I can't stand being next to you anymore!"
"Fine, if you don't want to be next to me then why don't you sleep on the floor!"
"I'd rather sleep on the floor than be next to a jerk li__." At that moment he pushed me right off the bed. "What the hell is your problem!?" Before he could answer there was a knock on the door. It was Buck Merril. He said Ponyboy and Johnny were asking for Dally, so he left.
I could hear everything that was going on outside. I was very curious in what they wanted, so I quietly listened.
It was finally time we all met in the corner of Pickett and Sutton, so I left. Dally was already there when I got there, and so was Pony and Johnny.
