"hey, were heading for the Nightly Double, you coming?" I asked," we're
leaving in a few minutes.
" yeah...let me change first." She said, I hadn't noticed she was in her pajama's so late in the day.
"okay, I'll be waiting outside." I said, stepping out and shutting the door behind me.
"hey! Is-" she yelled from inside.
I figured she hadn't begun to change yet so I opened the door," what?" I asked.
She screamed and covered herself with her shirt.
"GLORY! I'm sorry! Im so sorry!" I said, closing the door.
I sat in the hallway, my face buried in my hand, but my face covered with a grin.
"Trying to take a peek?" a voice said from behind me.
"I'm sorry! I'm used to a house full of boys." I said, keeping my face in my hand.
"you can look kid, I'm dressed." Trish said, prying her my fingers from my face," you should get used to a girl in the house, I'm here and staying."
"who ya callin' kid, kid? You're the younger one, and by a year too," I said.
"yeah...yeah, ok." She said, heading out.
"c'mon! we're gonna be late!" Two-bit said, looking at his new Mickey Mouse watch.
"we still have five minutes!" Darry said.
"I know, I just love saying that." Two-bit replied.
"we're getting a head start," I said, taking Trishan's hand and heading out.
"want a quick stop at the dingo?" I asked
"sure, why not?" she replied as I put my arm around her and I felt the bandage that covered up healing wound that the bullet made.
Once we got in, we bought coke and took a seat.
"hey, Soda, what do you think the year 2000 will be like?" she asked, blowing bubbles into her pop bottle with a straw.
"it should be full of Sodapop Jrs." I said, smiling
"dream on, one is enough. If there is more than ten, the world will come to a reckless end!" she said.
"hey soda?" she suddenly said.
"yeah?" I replied.
"if I fall down, will you be there to pick me up?"
"yeah" I simply replied.
She looked up at the clock," GLORY! Its seven-fifteen! We're late!" she picked up her stuff and started hauling me off the seat.
"no rush! Ponyboy will save us a seat." I said pulling on her arm and slowing her down.
When we snuck in under the fence, Ponyboy saw and hastily waved to show us where they're at.
"hey, where ya been? Walk in the park? Or something else?" Two-bit asked, putting his arm around Azia who was too into the movie to notice.
"no, we were at the dingo for a quick snack." I said.
Trish held up hr pop bottle to prove it," oh...ok."
"hey Trish, isn't that girl in the same grade as you?" Steve asked, pointing at the pink car with a girl and her friends and followers around the trunk, where she was sitting.
"yeah...miss popular," she said, in a mocking voice.
"I have an idea, why don't we see if Trish would be wanted as an ass kisser," Ponyboy said.
"NO WAY! You must be kidding!" Trish said," I aint gonna do that. Nope. Na- uh. Nada. Never."
An evil grin grew upon Steve's face," I dare you to go and do what Ponyboy said."
"do I hafta? I hate 'em! They're mean!" she whined.
"just go. If you need us, either whistle or clap." Darry assured her.
"fine." She said, walking over.
