Ch4: Strengthening a Friendship
Soda ran into Dally while walking to the DX. They were walking down the sidewalk talking. They got up to the girl's house and saw Laurie run out with a backpack, crying.
"Hey, check that out," Dally said as he saw Laurie.
Sodapop ran to catch up to her, "Hey. What's wrong?"
Laurie looked at him and wiped her tears away with her sleeve, 'Why did he have to see me all weak like this?'
Dally ran up, "So, what's going on?"
Laurie dried up her tears and looked at Soda, "Just leave me alone," She pushed past him.
What she didn't expect was for him to grab her arm, "Hey..."
As a reaction, she slapped him.
The reason she is running away from Soda is she's not used to sharing her feelings with others, especially boys. No, she and Cass weren't as close as one might think.
She slowly turned around and looked at Soda. He was rubbing the red spot on his cheek where she had slapped him.
She mumbled a quick and unaudible, "I'm sorry," Then, hurried down the sidewalk.
Moments later, Cassidy came out, looked at Soda and Dally and then looked down the sidewalk at Laurie. After a moment, she regained her composure and went back in, slamming the door behind her.
Without a word Dally headed for the lot, to see if Johnny was there, and Soda, deep in thought, headed for the DX.
*Tuesday; about Noon*
Soda was standing around, talking to Steve and some of the other guys who worked at the DX when one of them said, "Is that a chick coming up the road, or is it just me?"
Sodapop looked, and sure enough, Laurie was walking down the road, her head down, looking at the ground. She stopped and looked back behind her then continued on.
The guys all watched her until she got right up to the DX, then they all started talking again; all of them except Soda. Laurie walked up to him and dusted off her blue jeans and her white shirt.
"I don't usually apologise for slapping or hitting guys, but I think I owe you an apology. So, I'm sorry. I was just frustrated, and..." She trailed off.
"Don't worry about it. It's all right. What happened anyway?" He said with some concern.
Laurie looked at the other guys who had stopped talking to listen, "I'll tell ya later."
"Hey, uh, why don't you hang around here until I get off at three? Unless you have things you gotta do..." Soda couldn't help but smile that dazzling smile of his.
When Laurie saw his smile, a warm feeling spread all over her, 'What the heck is happening to me? Ever since I met this guy I've been acting...strange.'
"Um, sure. I definitely don't have anything else to do," Laurie opened up her backpack and got out a cigarette.
"Hey, Sodapop, you got a light?" She closed her backpack and sat in on top of one of the gas pumps.
"Nope," Soda looked at Steve, "Do you?"
Steve searched around in his pocket for a minute, then pulled out a lighter. He handed it to Laurie, "Here."
She took it, lit her cigarette, and gave it back, "Thanks."
*A/N* So, am I doing a terrible job so far? Or is it good? Don't forget about The Name Game! R/R!
