Johnny's Point of Veiw
"You guys are back in the house already?" Darry called from the kitchen, he was cooking something, and it smelt real good.
"We have someone to introduce you to!" Soda called back. We entered the kitchen, Christine the last one to come through the door. She was looking around curiously.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the looks that girl carried. She was incredible, the way her hair blew in the wind, and she had said I had looks! I wondered if Dally had a thing for this chick, and if he did, why hadn't he mentioned her before?

She looked up at Darry and smiled.
"Hi I'm Christine Johansson." She continued to smile as she looked around some more.
"Hi, Darry." He introduced himself.
We all sat down on the table and the boys watched as her and I talked. I know it must of seemed weird for them, they never knew about my life in New York, other than that I was a real hood back there. They didn't know about Christine.
"So who's your cousin your staying with?" Two-Bit had asked her.
She ran a hand through her hair, something she always did when she was nervous or trying to think of something quickly.
We all waited staring at her while she avoided the subject.
"Tim Shepard." She said finally. I looked at her thunderstruck.
"What?" I asked, my eyes widened.
"Tim?" Pony repeated.
She nodded.
"So your cousins with Tim? And Angela...and, Curly?" Johnny asked her.
"Yeah, and the rest of the family." She wasn't looking at me.
I tried to remain cool. "So, uh, how long have you been staying with them?" I asked casually.
"Three days." She shrugged. "Maybe four. What's today? Saturday?"
"Three days? Why didn't Shepard say anything?" Steve questioned.
"He's not on speaking terms with you guys, remember? And I haven't seen him since last week Wednesday at the Ribbon." I answered for her.
"Yeah he mentioned something about that, he said you fellas didn't get a long." She sighed. "And, that he'd kill me if I set foot in this house." She rolled her hazel eyes.
"So he doesn't know your here?" Darry asked.
"What do you figure?" She sighed again. "He needs to budge off and leave me alone, thats what."
"You always made people protective over you." I told her.
"Well I'm 17 years old turning 18, I can handle myself." She said impatiently.
I could hear Johnny and Pony whispering something about Angela Shepard and Christine but I ignored them.
"I better go before I get caught here." She stood up. "Nice meeting you Greasers." She said jokingly.
We watched as she left the kitchen and went into the hallway. I got up and followed her.
"Tim Shepard, huh?" I looked at her.
"Yeah." She took another stare at me. "Dally you sure do get more handsome every minute...I only wish what we had was still there."
I took a couple seconds to think this over and by the time I opened my mouth to say something she had left the house.
"Your not the only one." I muttered and turned back around to see the boys all filed in the hallway.
"She's a doll!" Two-Bit shouted.
"I thought you only liked blonds." I felt myself being defensive over something that wasn't mine.
"Blonds inperticular, but for a Raven she's gorgeous."
"So you two were an item, eh?" Johnny said grinning slyly. It's been a long time I since I saw him grin.
"No, just close buddies." I don't know why I couldn't tell them, but I just couldn't.
