Chapter 3: Football and Kisses

as we walked along down to the lot, we made teams. It was me, dally and ponyboy, against Sodapop, TwoBit and Steve. Johnny was gonna be our ref (lol).

"okay lets play. Soda you got midge,dally you got steve and I got ponyboy" twobit said.

We started playing and soda got the ball. I ran after him as fast as I could and he turned around to run backwards and laugh at me. He didn't know how close I was to him. I tackled him and we both fell. I landed on top of him and I looked into his eyes. My breath caught in my throat. I had never really noticed how nice looking Soda was.

"hey I got me a guy! I wonder what I should do with him?" I laughed and rolled off of soda.

"oh well I guess if u caught me, you gotta make me your slave." Soda joked.

"hey soda, I don't think you realize how seriously this little one will take that. Now that you said it, you gotta do it man." Twobit knew me so well.

"haha soda. You really are mine now!!" I yelled. Everyone else cracked up.

"hey guys is the game over or are we still playin cuz theres a party up at Bucks that I wanna go to. Any y'all wanna come?" Dally said.

"I'll go with ya Dal. Lets go." Steve and Dally said goodbye and left.

" Hey cuz, would you mind goin home with Soda, pony and Johnny? I wanna go out too." Two bit asked.

"Nah I don't mind. See ya later." Two bit walked off.

Johnny: " Actually, I wanna go home and talk with my mom. See y'all."

He walked off and I ordered Soda to give me a piggy back ride on the way back home.

"Hey I thought johnnys parents were abusive??" I asked

Ponyboy: well his dad was and then his mom started standing up to him for some reason, probably cuz hes in a wheel chair and she reported him to the cops and a few months ago they took him to the cooler. Now Johnny and his mom are cool ya dig?"

"that's cool. Hey soda. I can get down now." I replied.

I got off and skipped the rest of the way to the house. When we got there, ponyboy went upstairs to do his homework. Me and soda went and sat on the couch and started to talk about everything.

"Lyssa, are you hear permanently?" soda asked sounding hopefull about an hour into our convo.

"yeah, actually I am. Twobit doesn't know yet, only his mom." I said.

"Why? Not that that's a bad thing, im really glad. Im also curious." He said

I said," a few days ago, my dad left us. Me and my mom I mean. He told us he didn't want to support us anymore and that he wanted to live on his own. I don't really care cuz I don't like my old man much anyways, but my mom couldn't afford to pay for the house herself so when she told auntie Kerr she asked us to come and live with her. My mom is gonna help her out though."

"wow Lyss, that's heavy. Youre a tough girl. I guess that's why I like you so much. Besides your really beautiful,"

"aww shucks soda, I aint that pretty." I blushed.

"I think you are..."

there was a long silence. Then:

" I wanna kiss you right now Lyssa." Soda said.

" I wanna kiss you too Soda…"

then we kissed. It was great and there were sparks! I was so happy! It was a total makeout session from there on.

"umm Soda? Lyssa?" We heard.

We detached and looked at Ponyboy who was turning red.

"sorry…its just ummm its your turn to make dinner soda and you know how darry gets pissed if its not done when he gets home."

Soda got up and went into the kitchen to make dinner.

"hey ponyboy," I said," could you not tell anyone about that? I don't want anyone to know yet."

"yeah you got it Lys…anything for ya." Pony went into the kitchen as well. I sighed and leaned into the couch and turned on the tv.

"PONY!!!" I heard soda scream. Then pony ran through the room I was in and out the door laughing. Then soda ran out after him looking weird. Started cracking up and when soda came back in he asked me what I was laughing about.

I got up and said, "you." I kissed him lightly on the lips and said," I gotta get back to twobits house. Ill come back later for dinner."I laughed." Make something good willya?"

I walked out and I was at the gate when soda ran out after me.

"Lyssa." And then he kissed me. It lasted a few minutes and then I broke away.

" I really gotta go…I promise ill come back lata." I walked home to twobits or what I should now call my home.

Hey guys! Please r&r! xoxo
