(****Riley's POV****)
I sat there silently, afraid to look Soda in the eye, when Steve and Sandy ran out. That kiss between us had been so perfect and then those two have to come and ruin it. I could tell Soda was pissed off for as he stood there picking stuff up off the table and throwing it against the wall. "Hey whats all the racket?" I big tall guy with broad shoulders came out of the hallway and I jumped a little. I didn't think anybody else had been home but I guess they were asleep and when I looked at the clock I was almost positive that that was where they had been. I recognized the guy to be Darry, Soda's older brother.
He took one look at me and then at Soda and he grabbed Soda by the shoulders. "Calm down, little buddy, calm down." Soda shook loose and flew out the door like the house was on fire. I had no intention of going after him because my ankle felt really bad. "Hey, uhh?" Darry sat next to me and looked at me questioningly. I could tell he was trying to remember if he'd ever saw me before. And if he had he was wondering who I was.
"Riley," I said and frowned at him when I wiped my hand across my cheek and got all kinds of mascara on it. "I'm Riley." I said again when he didn't say anything. Now he just nodded his head.
"I see, whats wrong with Soda?" He said this sternly. I figured I'd better answer otherwise he would probably kick my ass. "Better question," He said suddenly. "What is a Soc doing in my house?" I rolled my eyes. There we go again with the whole Soc grease thing. Apparently he hadn't remembered me from the DX.
"Is that all you think about!" I shouted, suddenly mad at Darry. He gave me a strange look.
"What in the world are you talking about?"
"You know damn well! You're always judging us Socs. You think we have the perfect life and," I could feel myself getting ready to cry again. Then it happened I started crying.
"You do the same to us, if you haven't noticed." I thought about that. I didn't think I did that. Then he said something else. "Oh, you're that damn Riley girl that Steve keeps saying he wants to get or have sex with. He says your easy.You better not have did anything with Soda. If you did, I will kill you." I didn't know what he was talking about but it only took me a split second to figure it out.
"What!?" I said.
"Yeah, you're that damn Soc girl." I stood up and tore outta that house eventhough my ankle hurt like all get out. I was confused, yet again. Steve wanted to have sex with me? That was all he wanted? And Darry was judging me. I thought that my life was starting to get better but no. It wasn't. It kept getting worse.
I didn't know where I was going to go. Definitely not home and not to Carmen's house. I turned a corner and heard some faint talking. "Sandy, I'm so sorry." Then I heard some sobbing. I walked closer and saw that it was Sandy and Soda standing there in the park. Steve wasn't there. "Sandy, please, I didn't mean too. It's just, she was upset and I was upset with you. So we kissed. I'm sorry but Sandy I'll always love you." Then I saw Soda gently take Sandy's face in his hands and kiss her lips.
My heart dropped and stopped beating all at once. Not Soda too. Now Soda was trying to make my life worse again. It got a little bit better when he kissed me but now I was right back to square one, where I started. I started crying and walked off toward the Drive-In. It was late but the Drive-In would always be open. I was going to the one that showed two movies and four on weekends. The Nightly Double.
I thought about sneaking in but decided not too. I had plenty of money to pay for it so I just went ahead and paid. The guy who took my money asked me if I was ok and I told him yes eventhough I wasn't. I found a seat where nobody was around and I just sat there, shaking with tears and staring at the screen, not even hearing what was going on in the movie.
Somebody started throwing popcorn at me, but I didn't pay any attention. Then somebody started talking about how cute I was and that same person started talking dirty. I guess to see if he could embarrass me. Actually it was two of them, I guess they both wanted to embarrass me. One of them lit a cigarette and "accidently" of course flipped the ashes on me. I just brushed the ashes off ignoring them.
"Hey," I recognized that voice and I turned around. Sure enough it was Dally and Two-Bit. They were sitting right behind me and from the looks on their faces they hadn't known it was me. I stood up and threw my arms around Dally and then I let go and threw my arms around Two-Bit's shoulders. "Nice to see you too." Two-Bit grinned at me. Dally belted him in the stomach with his bottle of beer.
"Shut up Two-Bit. Something's wrong with her. Look she's crying." That was the first time I noticed that Dally ever really payed attention to me other then to comment on what I looked like or how he wanted to makeout with me. I felt dumb standing there in front of them when they were talking like I wasn't even there.
Another tear rolled down my cheek and that was when Dally pulled me into his lap.
