Chapter two
"Tia we have visitors!" I sat up on my bed wondering who would be coming to visit us on our first night at the house. I walked into the lounge and saw three boys sitting on our couch. I sat down on my chair cautiously. What was Mum thinking of inviting three boys over?
"Well this is my daughter, Tia. She is 17 and still single" She wiggled her eyebrows at the boy in the middle.
"Mum!" I groaned and closed my eyes. She could be so embarrassing and didn't she realise what I had just been through?
"Sorry. Tia that is Ponyboy, Sodapop and Darry as you already know. They are our neighbours. They are going to be here for tea."
"That's good to know" I replied flatly. I wasn't in the mood to be nice and polite. I did not trust guys and these three looked like guys so why should I trust them? Mum gave me a look warning me. I shrugged,
"So do you want to come through and have dinner now?" I smiled at the thought of food, I was starving! I took my seat and looked at the food on the table. Corn beef, roast potatoes, roast carrots all my favourites! I looked at Mum,
"Dig in!" I grinned and grabbed all the food I could. Mum sure knows how to make a dinner! The boys seemed to be piling even more food than me onto their plates! I wonder how they kept so skinny! For the next half an hour the table was silent as we all stuffed our faces with food. After I finished I sat back smiling to myself, I was really full! My smile fell as I realised that I would have to do the dishes! And there was going to be a lot of dishes to clean as well! Soon everybody was finished and Mum gave me another look. I frowned but didn't want to make a scene so instead I started clearing away the dishes.
"Here let me help you with that" It was Sodapop. I smiled at him, thank goodness because I couldn't do this all myself! Slowly we got the table cleared and as Darry and Mum talked in the lounge Soda, Pony and I washed the dishes.
"So where are you from?" Ponyboy asked me.
"Michigan"
"That's a while away" (A/N: Don't know America so hope it is!)
"Yeah I know"
"So why did you move?" Sodapop finally asked.
"That's none of your business" I snapped. He wasn't about to find out anytime soon. He looked hurt and I felt kind of bad, "Sorry. Just some things happened there that I wouldn't mind forgetting" He nodded,
"I'm sorry" An awkward silence followed that apology and it lasted until we finished the dishes. I let out the water, listening to the gurgling of the last bit of water. I then wiped down the benches before drying my hands and going back into the lounge.
"Well we had better be going home now" Darry stood up and extended his hand to Mum, "Thank you for having us. I hope to see your older daughter soon"
"I bet you do" I mumbled loud enough for only Soda to hear. He grinned at me and winked. I grinned right back.
"Anytime. Have a nice night. Good night!"
"See you Tia!" Soda said while Pony just waved. I smiled,
"See you Pony and Soda. Sweet dreams!" And with that I closed the door.
"Well they seemed nice enough and I am sure Kady will enjoy Darry's company"
"Don't even think about it, Mum! Matchmaker is not your job" But I said it with a smile so she knew I was joking. "I'm going to bed now. Good night"
"Good night darling" And with that I left to go to my bedroom.
NEXT DAY
I woke up at seven, rubbing my eyes. It may have been a Sunday but I never like sleeping in. I got out of bed and went straight to the shower. As I let the hot water wash over my body I started to think and then I started to cry and then I started to hate myself. This is what had been happening the last week and I just felt so out of control. Slowly I regained composure and turned the water off.
"Tia! How much longer are you going to be?" Mum yelled through the door.
"Five minutes, Mom!" I shouted back, "Why?" I was always suspicious when Mom asks that question.
"Well the boys were going to show you around and have you meet more people" I groaned. Sometimes I wish Mom wouldn't interfere with my life so much. I quickly changed into some jeans and a plain black shirt and brushed my teeth before leaving the bathroom. I dumped my old clothes into the washing basket and moved over to my dresser. I sat down in front of the mirror and studied my reflection. I had ice blue eyes with rib length black hair. I was rather tanned which made a very strange combination. I brushed out my hair and quickly tied up my hair into a ponytail. I sighed before leaving my room to go downstairs.
"Good morning, Tia." Mum said brightly, "There's some bacon and chips for you. Thought I would just treat you because I know that you have been a bit down lately" I smiled at her,
"Thanks Mom. This is nice" I savoured the taste of the bacon before quickly devouring the rest of my breakfast. "That was real nice, thanks Mom" I smiled before helping her clean up the dishes.
"So what do you think of those boys?" Mum asked, acting as if she wasn't trying to see if I liked any of them.
"They're alright but I wouldn't even think about having a relationship with any of them if that's what you're getting at Mom" My Mom may be great but she wanted to get a little too involved in my life sometimes.
"I wasn't implying anything I just wanted to see what you thought of them" I laughed because we both knew that wasn't true!
There was a knock on the door that broke the silence that was between my mother and me.
"Oh that will be them! Go answer the door, honey. Go have fun!" I put the tea towel away and went to answer the door. Standing there was Sodapop with another boy with black hair that was greased back in complicated swirls.
"Hey Tia. This is my friend, Steve. Steve this is Tia" I shook his hand and looked at him cautiously. "So are you allowed to come out now?"
"It is pretty early but Mum won't care she wants me to do this" I rolled my eyes and followed them out of the house. "So what exactly are we doing today?"
"You will see soon" Sodapop grinned at me before entering his own house with Steve and I following.
