Ch7: Meetings

Dally knocked on the door, "It's me!"

Darry opened the door, "We were just wonderin' where you were. Come in."

Dally walked in, and Cassidy timidly walked in behind him. For some reason, and she didn't know why, Cass felt, well, timid being around this boy.

'Why am I blushing?! Grrr!!' Cass thought as she followed Dally and sat by him on the couch.

Laurie had been giving Cass the "evil eye" the whole time, but Cass didn't look at her.

'Why is she blushing?' Laurie thought, 'I bet she likes that guy. I think his name was...Dallas Winston.'

Laurie let out a laugh after the last thought and Cass noticed her for the first time. Cass then stuck her tounge out at Laurie. Laurie just turned away.

"Well, are you going to introduce us to this girl, Dal'?" Darry said while sitting patiently and reading the news.

This broke Dally's train of thought about whether or not he should put him arm around Cass, "Uh, um...What did you say?"

Cass poked him with her elbow, "Introduce me, stupid!"

"Right," Dally said as he rubbed his side where she poked him, "Everybody, this is Cassidy. Cassidy this is (he pointed to the people as he called their name) Johnny, Ponyboy, Darry, and Sodapop. They're brothers (He pointed to the Curtis brothers)."

"Nice to meet you," everyone said in unison.

"Well, I know you just got here, but it's getting late. I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to bed, " Darry said as he walked out of the room with a wave.

"I'd better be going, too, "Laurie said as she pulled her backpack tighter around her shoulder.

Soda pulled her aside and whispered, "Since you're still mad at Cassidy, where will you go?"

"I don't know, " Laurie lowered her head.

Ponyboy decided to speak, "I'm sure Darry wouldn't mind if you stayed with us."

"Really?" Laurie was surprised.

"Yeah, " Sodapop said, "I'll go ask him now!"

Soda ran into the last bedroom, and asked Darry. All Laurie could see was Soda talking and Darry shaking his head yes.

'Alright!' She thought, 'Maybe I'll get to stay with them!'

Sodapop entered the room smiling like there was no tomorrow, "You can stay!"

'He sounds excited...' Laurie's thoughts drifted off.

Darry walked in, without his shirt on because he was preparing for bed, "You'll have to sleep on the couch because we don't really have any available beds. Is that okay?"

"That's awesome!" Laurie said giddily.
