Author's Note: Okay this chapter is going to be Ponyboy's POV because I feel most comfortable writing in his point of view for some reason. I guess since that's how the book is written and how the movie is portrayed so I'll probably be writing in his POV most of the time, just to let you all know lol.

((Incase you chose to skip what I wrote))

((Ponyboy's POV))

Well she wasn't joking when she said she wasn't a good driver. It's not that she's bad.. I don't know maybe she just doesn't like red lights, but the girl was burning rubber! I mean I'm used to that driving with Soda and Steve but she gave them a run for their money. Of course, they weren't fazed when we were going 55 down a little road but Johnny and me were gripping to the seat.

Soda had called shotgun earlier so him and Kristina were up front.

They were hitting it off about something because Kristina was laughing hard and Soda just had a grin on his face. How did he do it? He was always so good with girls. I mean I'm supposed to be related to him right? Soda's got more charm then anyone I've ever seen.

We got to her house and it was awesome. Of course it was in the same town as all the Socs. It felt weird being there. Apparently Kristina felt weird being there too.

"I'm glad you guys are here, this doesn't feel like home at all.." she said unlocking her door.

"Is your dad home?" Steve asked looking around.

"No, his car's not here. He's at work I guess." She said rolling her eyes. I wonder what that's about.

"Wow, I totally forgot, don't you guys need bathing suits?" she asked raising her eyebrow like Two Bit.

"Who swims with clothes on?" Two Bit asked laughing. With the response of our silence he added, "just kidding."

"Damn I thought it was my lucky day for a second there." Kristina said nudging him.

"Don't worry, any day spent with Two Bit is a lucky day." He replied.

"Aw yeah right." Soda said smacking him in the head.

"Wanna go?!" Two Bit challenged.

"Yeah man it's on!" Soda yelled back.

And with that they turned to each other and grinned and ran and grabbed Kristina and started running towards her pool.

"NO GUYS COME ON THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!!" she was yelling.

It was definitely a funny site to see. Johnny, Steve and me ran after them laughing and yelling too.

"BEG!!" Soda yelled holding her over the pool fully clothed.

"SODAPOP CURTIS I SWEAR TO GOD..."

"That doesn't sound like her begging to me." I said.

"Nope. Me neither." Soda said holding her with one arm and stroking his chin in thought in the other.

"Shut up." She said and she jumped out of his arms and in the water, but she brought him along for the ride and he was in there right with her.

"YAAAA HOOOOO!" Steve yelled and jumped in there with them and with that we all jumped in and basically fought, splashed and dunked each other for about a half an hour.

"I'm getting pruny." Two Bit said taking a breath.

"What is pruny?" I asked him.

"Duh when your fingers and toes look like prunes!" Two Bit exclaimed like it was the dumbest question of my life.

"Hah.. I guess we should get out then before your health really gets screwed then.. huh Two Bit? " Kristina asked sarcastically but she was smiling.

Two Bit playfully pushed her.

"Okay, well I'll go get some towels." Kristina said getting out of the pool.

"I'll help." Soda said following her.

"Well, she's cool, hot too." Two Bit said sitting in one of the chairs in her backyard.

"I know. I can't believe she's back for good." Steve said.

I nodded.

We talked about what we were doing that night for about 5 minutes when I started wondering where Soda and Kristina were. I guess Steve read my mind because he suggested we go find them. I wish we hadn't.
