Waiting for 5:00 took forever. i was ready at 4:30. she came at 4:45, lucky
for me. I couldn't take all of that teasing." Thank God!" I thought to
myself as we left all of the photo taking.
Her hair was tied up in a tight bun, a couple of strands covering her left eye. She had a dark blue dress, sleeveless. When we got into the gym, people kept staring. I got hot from all of the heated stares. I took off my jacket and unbuttoned the top button of my shirt and untied my bow tie; leaving it hanging around my neck.
The guys followed but the girls kept screaming and running toward me. I lost Trishan somewhere in there.
I looked over the crowd, but all I could see was the end of her skirt fling out of the door. 'the roof' I thought.
"Mickey Mouse!" I yelled, trying to distract them.
"each a hug." Still no reply.
'my last resort.' I thought to myself." Each a kiss on the cheek." I said and then they left.
I ran to the roof. I saw her, sitting on the ground, smoking a cigarette and studying the yellow flower thingy I gave for her to wear on her wrist.
"Having fun?" she asked, not turning to me.
"no..this happens too often." I said, she giggled.
"you know what? We could leave, just one more dance." I said.
Once we got downstairs, a slow dance started. As we agreed, we danced one last time and left the place.
As soon as we got in the car, she started to unzip her skirt.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"I asked.
"what does it look like?" she answered.
She had pants under, boy was I relieved.
"glory, you are a typical greaser," I said.
"can I borrow this, I'm cold." She was holding my polo skirt. I forgot that I had left it here.
"yeah." I said, thinking about where we were going.
"Lets go to the Dingo," she said.
"are you able to read minds or something?" I asked, surprised she answered what I was about to ask.
"Naw. I'm just starving." She said laughing.
"so.what.why.what's he. Andrew.Doing here?" I asked. I knew I sounded stupid but I couldn't bring myself to find the right words.
"oh. he was part of my old outfit. He came here for the reformatory. Cant believe 'ol goody two shoes went to one. I was sweet until I met him. Boy was he mean." She said.
"who's April?"
"an old friend who lives up in NY."
And then I just remembered," GLORY! I left my jacket there!"
"I don't like his people skills." I said on our way back to the gym.
"why?"
"he said my name was gay."
"don't worry. he is gay." she said, laughing and making fun of him.
As we entered the gym.people stared at us. Probably because of what Trishan was wearing.
We changed our minds about going to the Dingo. We just headed home.
"Welcome back!" Darry said, arising from his chair and Steve coming out of the kitchen. Those two were the only ones there.
"didn't expect you back until tomorrow night or something." Steve said
"Steve!" she said, going up to my room to get something.
She came down with a rusted bike chain.
"what are you going to do with that?" he said, moving backwards. "Nothing," she said," Except kill you."
"no.go.don't hurt me!" he said running toward the nearest window.
She ran towards him but he jumped out of the window. She pretended to follow but went to the door. I heard him scream when he saw her standing here. I was laughing my lungs out. She stopped, she really wanted to slug him, but he didn't want to hurt a girl and plus, it was tiring.
When I got into my room to change my clothes and Trishan came to put away her chain, Steve came out of nowhere and locked the door. I could hear Darry hauling something in front of the door.
"now I know what if feels to be..." I said, not wanting to say his name.
"lets go this way..follow me." She said pointing at the window.
We went out and onto the roof. We escaped through the front side. "Car?" I asked. Steve had just taught me how to hotwire a car the other day.
"no.too much noise when it starts."
I grabbed my jacket and Trishan grabbed her skirt, so we wont look weird at the Dingo.
When we entered, Anthony said," Aren't you Johnny's chick?"
I saw a tear well up in her eye. So I decided to leave.
We walked over to the nearest Dairy Queen, but it was closed due to the lack of barbeque and buns.
The only place left was the high school. We didn't want to go inside so we just sat on the swings. I saw she was shivering so I put my jacket over her shoulders.
"thanks" she said with a friendly smile.
I don't know what took over me, but I kissed her. I didn't let go, she did. I looked over her head, Two-bit and a brunette were there. For the first time a brunette. Two-bit had a hand on her shoulder, making sure I didn't go to far I guess.
"hey Two-bit," she said, embarrassed.
" I thought you guys eloped." He said.
"what? How? Not now! You saw me earlier today." She said, I could tell she was turning red but the night sky covered it up.
"how many beers did you drink?" I asked hoping he was drunk.
"Seven" he said, holding out eight fingers.
"he's drunk..hopefully. he wont remember a thing," I whispered to her.
"ok." she said, relieved.
We headed toward the roof," make sure he thinks its just an illusion," I said to the unknown brunette.
"got it," she said in an oddly low voice.
Once I got up there, she was dangling her feet off the edge.
"thinking of jumping?" I asked, walking slowly toward her.
"sorta, just afraid of heights"
"good..just don't leave." I said, sitting next to her and dangling my feet over too.
"aww.I'm hungry..." she said, getting up.
"yeah. lets go back home to eat.
We came back through the window, finding my door opened and the house being turned inside out looking for us.
Her hair was tied up in a tight bun, a couple of strands covering her left eye. She had a dark blue dress, sleeveless. When we got into the gym, people kept staring.
