Chapter Thirteen

The whole way to the Curtis's, Dally and I laughed about our plan. Once or twice Jenny turned around, "Either something's going on back there, or you guys are just weird. But since I don't know you guys as well as I'd like, I'll just forget everything."

"Trust me, we aren't weird." I told her.

"Let me guess, this town's full of crazy jackass' or something?"

"Yup. Why don't we go visit some inside?" Dally said, hearing the laughter erupting from the Curtis' house.

Jenny's POV (A/N: miss cheerful, you get your first POV in my story yay!)

Gail, Dally, and I stepped into a small cozy house. I saw two boys were arm-wrestling, an older man reading the newspaper, two younger looking boys and a teenager laughing at Mickey Mouse.

"Steve and Soda are the two boys arm wrestling, Darry is the man reading the newspaper, that's Ponyboy and Johnny over there," Gail said while pointing at the younger boys. "and that's-"

"A crazy jackass." Dally said. Gail shook her head and laughed.

"That's Two-Bit. Darry, Soda, and Pony live here." What's with this town and weird names I thought.

Two-Bit looked about 19 or 20 and had long rusty sideburns. His eyes were shining with laughter as he watched Mickey Mouse on TV. Ponyboy didn't seem into Mickey Mouse as much as Two-Bit, but watched it with his greenish-gray eyes dancing. He had light-brown hair that looked red and appeared to be about 15. Next to him was Johnny. His skin was tanner than the rest of the gang and had dark hair, almost black. His eyes were dark and wide. He reminded me of a scared puppy.

At first I thought Darry was an adult, but now he looks like he's 25 and has looks like Ponyboy. I looked over at Steve. He looked about my age and he had dark hair pulled back in what looked like complicated swirls. I noticed Soda next to him and DAMN, he was HOT! He had light honey colored hair and a crazy grin. I stared at him awhile, until I thought I felt eyes on me. I turned my head quick enough to see Gail turn her head sharply and whisper something to Dally.

Gail was about to introduce me but Ponyboy spoke first. "Hey Gail! Who's the girl?"

"This is my sister, Jenny!"

Now everyone looked at me and froze. "I thought you were an only child?" Soda asked looking at me.

"Well, she's my half-sister."

"THUMP!" Steve slammed Soda's arm on the table.

"Hey! No fair, I wasn't paying attention!" Soda yelled.

"Well if you weren't too busy staring at blondie here, you might of won." Steve said getting up. I blushed under the comment.

"Blonde?" Two-Bit asked, tearing his eyes away from the TV screen. He got up and ran toward me as fast as you could say pie.

"So, where ya from gorgeous?" He asked slinging an arm around my shoulder. I made a move to leave.

"Two-Bit, stop hitting on her or I'll rip you family jewels off!" Gail said. But when she said 'off' I flipped Two-Bit on his back.

"New York." I told him with a smile. Everyone roared with laughter.

"Yeah, remind me to stay away from New Yorkians…" Two-Bit muttered while I helped him up.

"So, who's up for some poker?" Steve asked.

"I'm in." Gail said.

"Well then how bout we make it strip poker." Dally said grinning dangerously at Gail. Gail playfully slapped him in the arm and he pulled her close to him and kissed her.

"Aw, get a room!" I shouted. Gail grinned back at me and Dally said, "Well we just might."

"No, no, no, I did not just here that! She's my sister, gross!" I cried, half laughing. Now, when I said that, It could have been my imagination, but I thought I saw Soda smile at me.

"See Dal, you grossed her out! As for punishment, you don't get some!" Gail joked.

"Ok enough talk, let's play poker!" Steve snapped. (A/N: I was in a huge mood to play Texas Hold 'Em all this week and I was going to on the bus for a field trip, but its no fun with out chips to bet with! So my friends and I played Bullshit (and I lost 7 times in a row at first, I'm so proud lol) the whole way and now I wanna play that! The End…)

"Jenny, you in?" Soda asked.

"Yeah." I told him. Man, he's really hot! I wonder how his butt is… I thought.

"So… are you going to sit down?" Steve asked. I hadn't noticed that everyone was sitting and I felt like a fool.

I quickly sat down and we played the game. Gail won the first 5 games, then I won the next 2, and Dally, Steve, and Two-Bit won the last 16 games (I was dead sure that they were cheating.) and then Soda got up to get something to drink.

Jeez, finally you're getting up! I've only been waiting 2 hours to see your butt! I thought. Soda left the table and walked to the kitchen. I noticed on his way back he dropped the napkin that was under the cup. He bent down to reach it but I couldn't see anything! Damn! And now here comes the worst part. I tilted my chair back to get a good view, but I must have tilted too much or something cause I fell backwards on the floor! I was so embarrassed, but I was determined not to let it show.

"Whoops! Must have fallen asleep there! Heh heh…" I lied trying to cover it up. (A/N: And I got to put this in here with the OK from miss cheerful! This is the highlight of my day… lol)

"Wow, I guess you got tired of us winning so much." Two-Bit joked.

"Yeah, and she's not the only one." Gail snapped.

"Well, if you ain't having fun why don't you choose something to do." Dally said with a smirk.

"Ok… How bout Truth or Dare?" Gail replied shooting an evil grin at Dally.

"Fine." Dally said with ease.

Just then, I thought I saw Gail give Dally a wink. Something's going on between them….

Ok I'm done chapter 13! And as I said before, I won't be updating this whole month. I just tried to get a chapter up…

Oh, and if any of you guys are Lord of the rings fans, I recommend Middle Earth High School? To you it's hilarious, but unfortunatly the author, Ocean Rider, stopped the story (I swear I cried when I found out.).
