HEY GUYS I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE ENDING OF THIS STORY BECAUSE I WAS TRYING
TO WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER BUT I COULDNT THINK OF ANYTHING TO WRITE ABOUT.
SO HERES THE NEW ENDING OF THE CHAPTER: ITS AFTER THE DOTTED LINE
I continued to walk with Danielle. We didn't say anything for a couple of minutes until she finally broke the silence.
"That Sodapop is really adorable, don't you think?"
"Yeah he is, it's too bad he's a Greaser." I sad dissapointed.
"Brianne, what's so wrong with dating a Greaser anyhow?" She looked up at me.
I looked at her like she was crazy. "Danielle...have you suddenly lost your mind? My parent's would kill me! And besides, they don't exactly have a perfect reputation do they? Dallas goes in and out of jail, hes from New York and I guess the streets really hardened him out, and yet he actually thought we'd get in the car with him?"
"Well he didn't seem that bad, Bri."
"Well things aren't always what they appear." After I said this I began to think. What if Danielle was right, what if they weren't that bad? They actually seemed pretty nice. Probably because they weren't drinking and they were actually behaved.
"And if he lets his kid brother hang out with him, he can't be all that bad, most older brothers never want to hang out with their younger siblings."
"That is true. But we all know that Soda isn't exactly a horrible person, hes gotten into a couple fights, that's all..how old do you think Ponyboy is?"
"Dunno really...he looked around our age."
I nodded. "I guess good looks run in the family, huh?"
"Well I suppose." Said Danielle. And we continued to walk until we finally got home.
****The boys Point of Veiw****
They watched the girls walk off down the street.
"They are really attractive aren't they?" Said Two-Bit.
"Yeah, they are." Sighed Soda. "Its just unfortunate that Bri broke up with Weslen from the Socials the other day. And that Danielle is with Ray Jones, Welsen's best friend."
"And what's the point?" Questioned Dally. "Who cares, sooner or later Danielle is going to break up with Ray. He treats her like she's nothing. And Brianne is free, so why don't one of us try something?"
"Because they are Socials." Answered Pony.
Dally just looked off into the distance as if he could still see them walking. "Yeah, Ponyboy. I'm guessin' your right."
"But Soda get's Socials swarming around him, so what's the problem there?" Johnny said.
"He does have a point, I can't help it if I'm attractive though." Said Soda jokingly.
"You know, it would be great if Greaser-Girls had looks and books." Said Ponyboy.
****The Next Morning****
"Bri wake up." I felt someone shaking me softly. I opened my eyes slowly and stared into the face of Danielle.
"Dani? What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice was horse from just waking up.
"Sorry Bri, I didn't mean to disturb you or anything, I mean, if you were dreaming about Soda or something I can leave so you can maybe pick the dream back up-"
"Dani, shut up." I sat up in bed. "What's up?"
"Are we still going to the Renold's today? Get a couple of soda's and hang out?"
I nodded. "As long as Weslen won't be there I'll be fine. He'll be bothering me." I started to get up. "Wait, did you say Renold's? I thought we were going to Ray's dad's soda parlor?"
"Yeah well, lets just head for Renold's it's most likely we will run into the boys at Ray's."
I looked at her quizically. "Oh no, Dani! You just want to head for Renold's in hope of seeing some Greasers."
"No honest!" She had this mischeivous smile on her face.
"Are you kidding me? Ray would kill you."
"Who cares? Besides what Greasers hang out at Reynolds anyway? It's mostly a Social hang out." She said.
I stared at her.
"Please, Brianne!" She begged.
"You should just slap Greaser-Girl on your forhead already." I stood up, went to my door, and opened it. "Wait out in the front while I change."
She smiled at me and headed for downstairs.
Within ten minutes I was changed and ready. I headed downstairs and met Danielle. "Well lets go, but if I see Weslen or those Greasers I'm out of there."
"Yeah ok." Danielle said but for some reason I didn't think she was listening.
We walked down my street and turned down the next.
"So Danielle, please tell me what's going on with you."
"What about me? How about you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me, Dani, something is definitely wrong with you either that or your up to something." I said.
We spotted Renolds up the street. I took a deep breath. "He just better not be in there, I swear." I said. We continued to walk until we were at Renold's entrance. Danielle dragged me inside while I held my breath.
DAMN! "Okay, Danielle I'm definitely out of here." Welsen and his gang were sitting in the far corner of the room, while the Greasers were sitting on the far left. "Dani, lets go..." I walked out the door. How stupid could I look? I turned around to tell Danielle 'I told you so' but she wasn't there. What are you doing now Dani!? I walked back in to see her still standing there.
"Danielle what are you doing, lets go before we get ourselves in trouble." Too late Soda and his gang were already coming over. I wanted to die right there on the spot. I glanced nervously at Weslen and found him looking up from talking to his friends. He met my eye then watched as the Greasers approached us. The Greasers knew perfectly well that we would get in trouble and they were probably doing this to piss the Social boys off.
"So it looks like we did see you again." Said Soda.
"Apparently." Said Danielle. I stood quiet, looking at my finger nails as though it had suddenly become very interesting. Soda waved a hand in front of my face. I tryed not to look up but I said 'hi'. I looked from the boys standing by us to the boys back at the table. It was Ponyboy and Johnny, they both were looking as nervous as I about the situation.
"Danielle I'm going to kill you." I muttered.
"You know, Weslen won't do anything if we are here." Said Sodapop. I looked up at Weslen's table.
"Your wrong." I watched him as he walked over to us. It was now or never, I needed to walk out, get out, as fast as I could.
"Is there a problem Greasers?" Weslen put a arm over my shoulder. I shuddered.
"Get-your-filthy-self-off-of-me." I said.
"Aw, don't be like that Bri-"
"Only people who are close to me call me Bri."
Weslen laughed and the rest of his friends came over. "Brianne, can't we just, talk about it?"
"There's nothing to talk about."
"Well why are you hanging out with them?"
This angered me, he didn't own me, no one owned me, and if anyone did, it would be my parents.
"Because I can do whatever I'd like to do." I replied, my voice shaky.
Why did Danielle have to place me in this situation?
Welsen pulled me close to him and I could almost taste the Alcohol. The awful smell he'd have every time he'd be drinking.
"Welsen get off of me you don't own me!"
"Listen to the lady." Said Dally. The Greasers had moved a step closer to Weslen and I.
I was beginning to get fustrated.
"Bug off, Grease-heads."
"Get off of her before we do some cutting." Dally had flipped out his switch blade. Damn I hate to admit it. But I loved it when they would do that.
Weslen took his arm off of me and walked closer to them. Here was my chance. I grabbed the water sprayer and drenched him in water. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Take a bath, Jackass." I didn't take a moment more to look around. I was out of there the minute I had stopped shooting him. I wasn't even paying attention to where I was running, I just found myself sitting in an open lot.
"Bri, you seriously pissed him off!" Danielle said, she was sitting by me. I looked up and it wasn't just her. The Greasers had came too.
I laughed. "I know, he really deserved it too. Lemme guess he was concerned about his hair?"
"Yeah!" Danielle said.
"What is it with boys and their hair anyway? Isn't that supposed to be a girl thing." I looked up and noticed the Greasers looking offended. I had forgot that they were there.
"Well we boys have to look good you know." Dally said.
"Oh yes, of course." I said sarcastically. "But, I thought that was Soda's job."
"Oh gee, I'm offended." Said Soda.
"Oh and we just get pushed aside do we?" Said Two-Bit.
"No you see, even if people do find Soda attractive, hes just not my type." I said, but I wasn't sure if that was true.
"What is your type?" Soda asked.
"I don't know, not you atleast." I said jokingly.
"Where are you ladies headed? I have a feeling any moment now the Soc's will come running out."
"Home I guess." Danielle replied.
"Nah, I don't wanna go home just yet." Hanging out with the Greasers made me have a wild side.
"Well lets head back to our place." Soda said.
I was hesitant. It was as though the flame of this 'wild side' died down. I've never actually been on the East-Side. We've just crossed territories before. But, never have I ever entered one of the hoods houses.
"Okay." I said, still a bit unsure of what I was getting myself into.
I continued to walk with Danielle. We didn't say anything for a couple of minutes until she finally broke the silence.
"That Sodapop is really adorable, don't you think?"
"Yeah he is, it's too bad he's a Greaser." I sad dissapointed.
