(****Steve's POV****) Finally..someone else's POV!! YAY!
I looked at Soda and he was just glaring at me. He looked pissed off. Everybody stopped doing what they were doing and they were looking at me and Soda. We had never had a fight. "I heard enough of the conversation to know that you like Riley." Soda snapped at me. I knew I should have never told Two-Bit that I liked Riley.
Two-Bit has a big, loud mouth. I glanced at the ground and then to the other guys. They just shrugged and looked away. I guess they didn't want to be any part of what was going to happen between me and Soda. "Uh, yeah." That was the only thing I could thing of to say. Soda had the same look on his face that he had early in the morning when I woke him up. A look of anger.
"What the fuck!" Soda suddenly screamed. "You like Riley! Why didn't you tell me? Damnit Steve. You know I like her. You're supposed to like Carmen!" Soda was acting crazy. I had never saw him like this. He was pissed off at me because I just liked Riley. The fact that I didn't tell him might have had something to do with it too.
"Look, man, I can't help it that I like her! Why are you getting so fucked up? We didn't do anything. I saw her last night and she was crying so I held her. That was it!" My bad temper was getting the worse of me.
"You saw her last night!" Soda screamed and then he did the oddest thing. He tackled me. And just started slugging me. "How-could" He hit me in the face "you see her last night?" He hit me again and I hit him right back. "You bastard!" We kept on slugging the hell outta each other for what seemed like a couple of five minutes and then Two-Bit, Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy got us off of one another. My lip was bleeding, so was my nose, and I had a bruise on my cheek. Soda's eye was starting to swell shut and his knuckles were bleeding.
Dally and Johnny held me back while Two-Bit and Ponyboy held Soda back. "What the hell you guys doin!?" Dally looked at me and then to Soda. "You guys goin at it over a girl, that neither one of yous is probably gonna get 'cause she's a Soc." I digested that for a minute and then just shrugged it off. I pushed Dally and Johnny away from me and then I started off toward work.
What the fuck was Soda trying to pull? He couldn't beat me up just 'cause I liked some girl. This was the first real fight we had ever had with each other. Sure we wrestled sometimes but this fight was for real and it would probably bust our friendship up. But if he didn't care I wouldn't give a damn either.
(****At Work****)
When I got to work I was really hacked off. I was hoping that Soda wouldn't come in but unforunately and to my disappointment he did. We just glanced at each other and didn't say anything. People kept coming in and wanting stuff and I gave it to them, not once asking Soda to get it, eventhough he was just sitting in the back room with that far-off look. Like he was somewhere else. After awhile of sitting back in the back he went outside because there were a bunch of girls.
"Soda!Steve!" I looked out the window and saw that Carmen was outside talking to Soda.
"Hey Carm!" I yelled across the lot and waved to her. She scowled at me and I think Soda was telling her that I did that stuff to his face. I walked over to Carmen eventhough Soda was there. "Carmen, whats up?"
She frowned. "Umm…have either of you guys seen Riley? I'm looking for her and if she's home she won't answer the door."
"Yeah. I saw her last night. She was really pissed off though. And she was crying a lot." Carmen looked at me and then glanced at Soda. "She seemed upset. Do you know what was wrong? Two-Bit said he woke her up this morning."
"Upset? Hmm..her littler sister, Daphne, have you saw her before?" I shook my head no and Soda shook his head yes. Apparently he had saw her before. "Well, she's missing. Ri's mom and dad picked Ri up at my house last night because Daphne was missing." Carmen stopped. "Oh yeah, Soda, Sandy keeps calling me, wanting to know where you are and if she can talk to you." I laughed out loud. That was funny that Carmen had to remind Soda of Sandy.
He swallowed and I knew he was trying not to cry. "Tell her to go to hell next time she calls you."
"About Riley. Want me to go over to her house and see if she'll answer? I can get off work. I only work part-time." I added the last part just to rub in Soda's face, who works full-time. He gave me a glare that would melt ice. The look in his eyes signaled hate toward me.
Carmen smiled and nodded at me. "Thanks. That would be so sweet."
"Anything for you baby." I kissed her forehead. Now Soda started laughing. Carmen looked at me puzzled.
"Carmen!" He burst out. "You think Steve likes you! He doesn't! He likes Riley and he cheats on his girlfriend. You do know that he has a girl, don't you?" Uh oh. I was busted. Carmen looked at me with a look on her face that looked like she was going to cry.
"Steve…" I saw a tear slip out of her eye. Then I realized, glory, she would cry, she wasn't one of the tough chics. She wasn't a greaser. She was a Soc. "Is that true?" She backed away from me and into a car. I just stood there, my mouth wide-opened. That wasn't true. I liked her and Riley, but I did have a girlfriend. I thought she knew about my girlfriend though. I nodded my head, not knowing what I was doing.
Carmen took off running. Oh great, I thought to myself. I got Riley, Soda, and now Carmen mad at me. That was just great. It would make for a wonderful conversation with Dallas, or Two-Bit, or Darry. Soda stood there with that wild grin on his face. "Fuck you," I whispered to him and then smirked. I'd get him back.
