Ch8: A Morning at the Curtis'
Johnny looked at Dally and Cassidy, then at Sodapop and Laurie, and figured they might want to be alone, "I'll see ya'll later!"
"See ya, Johnny," Dally said as he watched Johnny go out the door.
Soda noticed Cass and Laurie were staring angrily at each other; soon, Dally noticed, too.
"What is wrong with you two? Why can't you just talk this out?" Dally said as he looked at Cass and Laurie.
They both got shocked looks on their faces, and Cass was the first to speak, "It's all her fault!"
"What?!" Laurie got up and Cass did too, so they could stand face to face.
Soda gave Dally a look that said, "You should've kept your mouth shut!"
Dally just shrugged.
"What do you mean it's MY fault?! You were the one not carrying your own weight!" Laurie was clearly very angry.
"I did stuff around the house!" Cass shouted in anger.
"Yeah, sure you did," Laurie said with sarcasm, "All you ever did was make trouble for yourself or watch TV!" Laurie drew back her arm to punch Cass, but Soda grabbed her.
Cass was prepared to kill Laurie, but Dally grabbed her too.
Both boys laughed at the same time while the girls struggled and said, "Let me go!"
"We don't need you two to start a fight, you'll wake up Darry." Soda looked at Laurie, "And if you fight Cass, Darry probably wouldn't let you stay."
Laurie calmed down and sat on the couch. Cass stopped struggling and mumbled, "Fine!"
Cass sat by Laurie, gave a big sigh, and said , "I'll never apologize!"
She then got up and left. Dally followed her out the door.
Laurie looked at Soda apologetically, "I'm sorry." Then she buried her face in her hands.
Laurie felt like crying, but didn't want to in front of Soda. She held back the tears and looked up at Soda. He was standing there with a sad look on his face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Laurie said as she took off her coat.
Soda didn't realize how he was looking at her, and changed expressions quickly, "Nothing." He looked at the clock, "It's really late and I got work tomorrow. Goodnight!"
He started to walk off then remembered something. He walked over to a small closet and pulled out a pillow and blanket. He tossed them to Laurie, then went to bed.
Pony noticed Soda hadn't gone to sleep yet, "What's wrong Soda?"
"Nothin'..." Soda said, but he was thinking, "Why did she hold baxk those tears? She would've felt better if she'd let it all out."
Pony decided to ask the question he'd been wonderin about all day, "Soda, do you like Laurie? You know what I mean."
Soda was caught off guard, "What?" He decided he could trust Pony, so he told him the truth, "If you tell anybody what I'm about to tell you, I'll beat you half to death!"
Pony tried to sound serious, "I won't tell."
Soda sighed, "Yeah, I like Laurie. I don't think she's like Sandy..."
Soda trailed off and rolled over, "Goodnight Pony."
The next morning (Wednesday) about 5:30AM
Laurie woke up and looked out the curtain, "It's still dark."
She got up and stretched. She looked around and thought, "No one is awake. I guess I'll take a quick shower."
Laurie grabbed her backpack and quietly walked to the bathroom. She opened the door and turned on the light. She took off all her clothes and got in the shower. Her shower took about five minutes, then she was out. She grabbed a towel and dried off, then put on a black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans with holes in different places in the legs. She didn't tuck in her shirt (she doesn't like to, most of the time). She brushed her hair and decided to let it air dry. She put on her makeup (navy blue eyeshadow, lots of black eyeliner, and clear chapstick) and stuffed her belongings back in her backpack.
She opened the bathroom door and nearly had a heart attack because Soda was standing right there.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Soda said with a smile.
Laurie looked at Soda for a moment and laughed. His hair was messed up and he was wearing a white sleeveless shirt with a pair of black shorts.
"I just thought I'd take a shower since the bathroom was empty. Plus, I couldn't let anybody see me without makeup, and I'm not a morning person, so I'm grumpy when I get up. One more thing, I figured the bathroom would be crowded since there are three of you already," Laurie smiled as she walked past Soda, into the living room.
"Well, not really. Darry and Pony usually take their showers at night before bed. Darry will be up soon. He'll probably cook breakfast." Soda closed the door after he finished talking.
Laurie just shrugged and sat on the couch. No sooner than Soda closed the door, Darry entered the living room.
"Oh, you're up! Well, I'll have breakfast done soon," Darry walked into the kitchen and started cooking.
Laurie looked out the window again, to see the sun rising. She turned around to watch it rise all the way. Soda also finished his shower in five minutes and snuck up behind an unsuspecting Laurie. The sun had risen over the horizon, and as Laurie was about to turn around, Soda tickled her sides.
Laurie started laughing uncontrollably and said, "Stop! Please!"
"What's the word?" Soda said playfully.
Between laughs Laurie managed to say, "Uncle!"
When Laurie regained her composure and looked at Soda he was grinning from ear to ear.
Soda decided to start a conversation, "Do you work?"
"Yes," Laurie didn't want to talk.
"Where?"
Laurie started to say "None of your business", but decided telling where she worked wasn't a big deal, "A Dairy Queen. Acrually, it's not far from where you work."
Soda thought for a minute, "Yeah! I remember me and Steve went in there one time and you took our order!"
Laurie looked puzzled, "Really? I don't remember."
Before Soda could say anything else Darry yelled, "Breakfast is done!"
Sodapop noticed that Ponyboy was already at the table eating, "When did you get up kiddo?"
Pony said between bites of scrambled eggs, "While you were flirtin'."
"What do you mean flirtin'? It was a normal talk." Soda grabbed a plate and got a plateful of scrambled eggs and put grape jelly on them.
Laurie looked at each of the boys' plates. Neither of them liked them fixed the same: Soda had grape jelly on his, Darry's was in a bcaon-and-tomato sandwich, and Ponyboy had a hard bolied egg. Laurie also noticed they all had chocolate cake, and Darry drunk coffee, while Soda and Pony drunk chocolate milk.
"Soda, you know you broke our rule about the first one up cooks breakfast, then the other two wash dishes, right?" Darry said between bites of food.
"Oh yeah. Oops," Soda kept on eating.
Laurie couldn't wait to eat (what she considered) a good meal. She got the biggest plate and glass she could find. All the boys watched her, sort of dumbfounded, as she got her food. She piled the scrambled eggs on her plate and got a HUGE piece of cake. She sat that on the table, then filled her glass to the brim with chocolate milk.
She sat by Soda and noticed they were all looking at her. She looked at her plate, then Soda's (because he was closest). The amount of food she had was twice what Soda was eating, and he had a plate full too.
Soda recovered from his shock, then thought of something to ask. He said in a serious and concerned voice, "Did you get enough to eat when you were living with Cass?"
Laurie blushed, "Well, I don't know. We had one egg a piece for breakfast and for supper we had what I could manage to get that was leftover at the Dairy Queen. We never had enough money..." Her voice trailed off.
Everyone was shocked. Darry regained his composure first, "Well what are you waiting for? Eat up!"
Everyone started eating again and Laurie managed to eat everything she had on her plate.
"I think that's the most I ever ate in my whole life! it was good," Laurie looked at the clock which read 7:00 AM, "Well, I gotta go to work! See ya'll this evening!"
After Laurie left Soda and Pony washed the dishes, then everyone went their separate ways for the day, whether it be work or school.
A/N I think that's the longest chapter I've ever written. Lol. Hope ya liked it!
