Chapter 9
Ok, I know I haven't done this before, but I notice everybody's doing this, so.
Disclaimer: I do not own the outsiders, I only own Summer, Rain and Jake, and some of the other characters I make up.
"Two bit and Steve"
~Summer's P.O.V.~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"They are?" I asked puzzled, and then I remembered that I was wearing mascara.
"Yeah, I guess you are wearing make up and." he stopped. "Are you crying?"
I looked down. I didn't like people to see me cry. I usually didn't cry in public. If I felt like crying really bad, I would find a bathroom or hide in my room and cry. But then again, I had just met Pony. He didn't know that I didn't cry in front of people.
"Yes." I shivered. It was a cold night for June and I was only wearing a tank top.
"Here" he said offering his jacket.
"Thanks." I said shyly. He nodded.
We just stood there and stared at each other. Well actually, he stared at me while I stared at my shoes. I was wearing black sandals with plastic daisies on the top.
"I'll walk you home" he suggested.
Well we were basically there, it was like 2 steps away. I stopped thinking about it and just decided enjoy his company. He walked me up to our porch.
"Thanks" I said. He nodded. I unlocked the door with my key and stepped inside. I turned back, "you wanna come in?" I asked. I hadn't realized how messy the house was until I stepped into the living room, motioning for Pony to follow. "Sorry it's so messy around here. We just moved and all, and you know."
"Its fine" he said and sat down on the couch.
I took 2 root beers out of the refrigerator and walked back to the living room. I handed Pony one of them. He took it and thanked me quietly. I sat mine down on the floor near the couch and went over to the tv. I plugged it in and turned it on. I went back to the couch, opened my root beer and relaxed. It had been about a minute, when Rain walked in fallowed by Jake. She started yelling at me immediately not noticing that we had company.
"What the hell did you think you were doing when you stormed out like that?" I was quite.
"I just didn't want to stand there while you yelled at me in front of them!" I said after a while.
"." she wanted to say something but then noticed Pony standing next to me. "Pony, would you mind going home? Darry was worried about where you went anyway. Sorry but I really need to talk to Summer."
I looked at Pony. I gave him an apologetic look, that meant 'sorry my sister's such and idiot' and 'save me!' at the same time. I think he understood but I still tried to tell him someway that he had to go because Rain was being such a bitch!
"Look Ponyboy, I think you better go. I'll see you later ok?" I said, trying to hold my tears back.
He looked at me in a sorry way. I kinda understood that he and Darry have had some differences too. I realized how many similarities we had. He nodded quickly and left.
I didn't want Ponyboy to leave. I knew Rain would holler at me all night now that we were alone. Why can't she just let it go? It was over and I had said that I was sorry for opening up the subject.
She stared at me dangerously. Then she suddenly stormed out of the room without saying anything. This was weird! I really thought I would get it tonight. But, no. She didn't say anything. Not now, not for the rest of the night or in the morning for that matter. I was surprised. But I guess this meant that the subject was closed and we wouldn't talk about it anymore. I wiped my tears away and shrugged. I sat back down on the couch and continued to watch tv.
The next day when I opened my eyes, I noticed that the sun hasn't even rose yet. I got up and went to take a shower. When I was done, I went back to my room and dressed in tight jean shorts and a black tank top. I stepped out of my room. I noticed Rain sitting at the table, reading the paper. She looked up form the paper when I walked in. I didn't say anything. I just walked to the door and stepped out of the house.
"Where do you think you're goin?" I heard Rain ask, but I just ignored her.
I stepped out to the porch. There was an old swing hanging from the roof. I sat down, hoping it would break down, although I didn't weigh much anyway. I sat down for a while, just thinking about stuff. I decided that it was kinda nice sitting here. It was quite and peaceful. This would my new thinking spot, I thought to myself. I noticed Rain had opened the blinds and was just staring at me, smiling at my own thoughts. My smile disappeared when I saw her. I just stared back. After like a second, Rain shook her head and walked back to the table and went on with reading the paper. I continued to think. First I thought about Rain for a while. She was harsh and cold to me. I didn't understand why. Maybe because she loved me so much that she wanted to protect me and was worried about how I'll turn out or maybe she didn't care about me and just took her anger out on me. I tried to think about something else. My relationship with Rain was too complicated. Then I thought about Ponyboy. I remembered his brother Sodapop. His handsome, movie star-look-alike brother. I also remembered how he gave up his spot at the dinner table so Pony could sit next to me. I thought for a while until I noticed that I had been thinking about Soda a lot. Last night, in bed while I lay down, I thought about him. And after dinner when we were doing the dishes. Maybe I was developing a little crush on him! It doesn't matter anyway, I thought. He's way too old for me. Rain would freak out if I ever went out with a 17 year old. The last person I thought about was Pony before I got called back to reality by a familiar voice. I thought about how Pony was worried about leaving me with Rain last night. I thought about how he ran after me, last night. A lot happened last night, Pony's kinda cute, does he like me? My thoughts got all mixed up. Just, then I heard someone call for me.
"Up early, Summer?" it sounded like Soda.
I turned around. Sure enough it was Sodapop; he was standing next to someone I hadn't met yet. Hmmm, I think I saw him before though.
"Hey, Sodapop. Huh, oh yea. Just enjoying the view." It was a really pleasant view. There was a lot near by with some old couch in the middle of it, a football field and a drunken guy passed out on his lawn.
"Some view!" he said, looking around.
I laughed. "I wasn't really viewing anyway, just thinking."
"Nice thinking place, though, gotta admit that!" I laughed again.
"Hey, anybody gonna introduce us?" the boy standing next to Soda asked. He was almost as tall as Soda and he had brownish hair and brown hair. He was handsome, but again too old for me. He looked around Soda's age.
"Oh, yea. Summer, this is Steve. Steve this is Summer, they just moved in next door yesterday." Soda introduced us.
"Steve Randle. Nice to meet you." Steve said. I nodded, and smiled.
Rain opened the door and called out for me.
"Come on 4-Seasons, breakfast is ready." She had rarely called me by my nickname after mom and dad died. I guess she wasn't mad anymore. It was forgotten.
I blushed. "Sorry, breakfast." I said at Soda and Steve. "I'll see you boys later."
They both nodded and walked off to where they were going. I was about to walk in the house when I hear someone yell,
"Hey, Soda? Is it true? Is it true??" I looked back. I saw the other boy I hadn't met before. He was with Pony and Steve and Soda yesterday when we first came here.
"Is what true, two bit?" I heard Soda yell back.
"Is it true there are two new broads in town?" I immediately blushed. I knew he was talking about us.
Soda stopped and turned to me. He smiled. "Yeah!" he said. I just blushed more. I was turning redder as Soda stared at me.
Rain stuck her head out the door again.
"What's taking so long?" she asked. Then stepped out more noticing two people she hasn't met yet.
"Um, nothing. I'll be right there." I said. But couldn't get Rain to go back in the house. If she found out, about this two-bit guy talking about us that way, she would never let me hang out with Soda or Pony, thinking they think that way too.
"Who are they?" Two-bit asked.
"They're right there. Come meet them." Soda said back.
Two-bit walked over towards Soda and Steve. He looked around.
"Where?" he asked hungrily.
Soda pointed at us. "Hey, Summer!" he called.
I tried to look like I had just noticed them, like I haven't been staring at them for the last couple of minutes. "Yea?" I asked.
"Will you come meet Two-bit?" "He's kinda excited to meet you guys." I blushed.
Rain stared at Soda. "Whose the guy Soda's standing with?" she asked me.
"Um, that's Steve. And I think that's Two-bit."
"Hmmm." she said. "Would you boys like to come inside for some breakfast?" she asked the boys.
Oh, god no! She possibly couldn't think that they would come for breakfast! They probably had somewhere important to do. Girlfriends to get to.
Soda shrugged. "Why not?" he said. "Come, on Two-bit." He gave Two bit a slap in the back and walked up our porch steps. Steve and Two-bit fallowed.
Why was she being so nice? She was furious just last night! Jesus, her mood can change fast, I thought to myself. They boys walked into our house and me and Rain fallowed. She had made omelet and french toast. It smelled good.
"Hmm," Soda said, smelling the air. "Man, it smells good!" he read my mind.
I smiled. So he was a mind reader. Maybe he could just read mine. I suddenly blushed, realizing that I had a huge crush on Soda! I hadn't thought about someone like this since I had a crush on Kevin. Oh, god, what am I going to do?
"So, who are you guys?" Rain asked. I realized that she had invited people that she didn't know into out house. But I figured, she thought they were Soda's friends, which was true, so it was ok.
"Steve Randle." Steve introduced himself.
Rain waited for Two-bit to introduce himself. But he was hooked on Mickey Mouse that was on tv. Soda noticed.
".and this is two-bit!" he said.
Two-bit turned around. "Oh, hi" he said.
"Nice to meet you, Steve and you too Two-bit." Rain said. "Why don't we sit down?"
Rain looked at me, I was frowning. She gave me one of her 'be nice!' looks so I forced myself to smile. It wasn't a very good smile but it seemed to please Rain. She turned around and walked to the kitchen table. The boys fallowed. I walked towards the bedrooms to get Jake. He hadn't met Two- bit and Steve yet. From what I saw, I knew Jake and Two-bit weren't too different. They would get along.

Ok, well, that's all for now. It's longer than the last chapter but I've written longer. Anyways the next chapter will be longer, I promise!!!! I got more reviews.
Ponyboysgirl1: I brought Pony and Summer closer in this chapter, not much but I think I mentioned that Summer thinks Pony's kinda cute. But I decided on Summer having a little crush on Soda first, and then going out with Pony. I think maybe in the next 3 chapters, Pony will work up the courage and get close enough to Summer to ask her out. Keep on reviewing.
naria4: thanx people say it's good but I dunno. anyway, I'll update soon I promise. Just keep on reviewing.
Jen: thanx, lol sleepover! Keep on reading.
