~Chapter 10~ Here's chapter 10!! I only own Riley, and Carmen so don't sue me! Umm…ok…I don't know what else to say….maybe I should start the story now? Yeah..ok here goes!

                                                (****Carmen's POV****)

            Riley was going to spend the night at my house and I was not looking forward to it. I mean don't get me wrong, Riley is and always will be my best friend but the only thing she had her mind on right now was Sodapop Curtis. I would have to listen to her talk about Soda for the entire night.

            I was worried about Soda too, but I didn't think it was my business to get into the Sandy-Soda argument. I don't really think it was Riley's business either but she always has to get in other people's business.

            I didn't want to listen to her go on and on about Soda all night. I wanted to tell her what happened between me and Steve. Steve had kissed me. I knew that he had a girlfriend but I don't really care. Maybe, he'll dump his girlfriend for me. I mean afterall when is it that a Soc wants to go out with a greaser?

            "Carm, are you listening to me?" I suddenly snapped out of my thoughts and noticed that we were parked in front of my house.

            "Yeah, I'm listening." I lied and opened my door and got out. She got out too.

            "Hey mom, dad!" I called when I opened the front door. There was no answer. Oh well, they had told me that they might not be home when I got home. I walked in and Riley followed me. She was still going on and on and on about Soda.

            "Riley! Will you shut it?" I was getting frustrated about having to listen to her. I flopped down on the couch.      

            "Sorry," She muttered and sat down next to me.

            "So," I said in an over excited voice. "You wanna know what happened to me and Steve?"

            "What?" She sounded uninterested.

            "He kissed me."

            "What? That's crazy! He has a girlfriend!What is Evie gonna say if she finds out?"

            I shrugged. "Who cares what Evie says? I don't like her and never have liked her. She acts like a greasy hood, like Dallas. Besides, I'm pretty sure Steve'll break up with her for me." Riley just rolled her eyes and laughed a little.

            "Once a flirt, always a flirt."

            "I am not a flirt!" I said. She just said, "yeah, whatever."

            We sat there for about twenty minutes, not saying anything. The door slowly opened and then it closed. "Hey Mom! Dad!" I looked over and they were standing there, smiling.

            "Hi honey." My dad said. "Hi Riley." He smiled at her.

            "So where have you guys been?" I asked.

            "We were out for dinner." They kissed each other.

            "Do you mind if I stay the night?" Riley suddenly piped up.

            "Of course not, you know you're welcome anytime." It was my mom. My mom just adored Riley. She thought Riley was so sweet and nice and pretty. Sometimes it got on my nerves but not very often.

            "Thank you."

            "Uh huh. Anytime, darling." My mom kissed Riley on the forehead. Riley was like my sister so it didn't bother my mom or dad to kiss her on like the cheek or forehead.

            After awhile of sitting there listening to my parents talk I decided that I was going to go to bed. So I went up to my room and got ready. Riley had to use a pair of my pajamas but that was ok.

            "Riley," I said. I was laying in bed and Riley was laying in the bed across from mine.

            "Yeah?" She yawned. I could tell she was tired. Then again, I don't blame her she had to deal with comforting Soda, humiliating Sandy, getting bugged by Two-Bit, Dally, and her parents.

            "I'm sorry about telling you to shut up when we were downstairs. I just wanted to tell you my good news but now you can talk about Soda all you want." I laughed and so did she.

            "No, that's ok. When I think about Soda it makes me want to have him and that's not going to happen so I don't need to talk about him."

            "What do you mean that's not gonna happen? I'm pretty sure he's gonna break up with Sandy. Then you can move in the picture and he'll ask you out."

            "Maybe," That was all she said and then I heard the light breathing of her. I fell asleep a little after that.

            It wasn't until about one hour later that I was awoken by the loud talking of Riley and my parents.

            "What?" Riley was saying.

            "Yeah, you're mom just called, wondering if you were over here. And when I told her yeah she said that she had been worried sick about you and that she had called the cops, because Daphne is still missing." I wondered what they were talking about when suddenly I remembered Riley telling me something about Daphne not being home.

            "Hey," I pulled the covers off me. "Whats going on?"

            My mom looked over at me. "Daphne's missing."

            "Oh god," I muttered.

            "Riley's parents will be over to pick her up in a little bit. They were worried sick about her. Apparently nobody told her parents where she was." My mom looked over to Riley.

            "Sorry. But why can't I just drive myself home?" Riley kept saying.

            God, I thought to myself, not this and the Soda-Sandy thing in one day. If it was bugging me I knew Riley wouldn't be able to handle it. A couple minutes later Riley's mom picked her up and I was wide awake by that time.

            "Mom," I said suddenly. "Can I go out and look for Daphne."

            "No." My dad said for my mom.
