Chapter 2

Party at Buck's

Since it was Friday I walked over with Amanda to her house after school. I really didn't like walking places, but I knew we would be safe since we were in greaser territory and her house wasn't that far from the school. Plus, the socs wouldn't do anything to us there and since there were two of us it was okay. When we got inside her mother bombarbed us with questions about where we were going and who we would be with tonight. Casually Amanda told her that we would be at the Nightly Double and we didn't know when we would be back. Her mother just nodded and smiled going back to making dinner. Luckily for us Amanda didn't have a curfew her only rule was to be home before dawn. Her parents were pretty cool, she was really lucky to have two parents that loved her and gave her the space that she needed.

When we got into Amanda's room we practiced some dance moves that we had just learned since we were in the same dance class. The only reason I stayed in dance was because of her. Without her it would be so boring, I at least had to have one laugh during that class, but with her I laugh during the whole class. We usually get into trouble and the other girls give us dirty looks, but we ignore them and make complete asses out of ourselves like always. The others didn't like us for that and the teacher was always looking down on us. She didn't do anything about it because we were the best two dancers in class and everyone knew it.

After we finished dancing we started to find clothes to change into. We were going to Buck Merril's party that night again. We usually went once or twice a month because all of his parties were on Fridays. I was pretty sure that my brother and some of the gang would be there except the Curtis brothers, Darry was really strict, but he had to be since their parents died. Anyway, clothes were laying everywhere after we were done searching for the perfect party outfits for the night. Amanda was wearing a leather mini skirt with a black halter top and knee high boots. I wore a denim mini skirt and a red tube top. This was the only time I wore skirts past my finger tips. Then we did one anothers make up. I had to admit that we looked pretty damn good.

Finally we were on the way to the party. We drove Amanda's car because it was a long drive and we both didn't want to be walking at night especially since there would be drunk socs and greasers everywhere. It didn't matter if they were socs or greasers if they saw us they would want to have their way with us even if we lived on the same side of town. We were doing this for our own protection which our parents would be proud of us. I certainly didn't want to get lectured by Two-Bit or the rest of the gang if they saw us by our lonesome on the streets.

By the time we got there the party was already packed. We walked in to see that people were dancing provocativly and making out which wasn't unusual for Buck's party. Some people were aleady drunk too, I'm pretty sure my brother was, but I didn't see him anywhere in sight. Amanda found her boyfriend, Jimmy, and they walked off somewhere. I knew what they were up to and I would probably have to find a ride home like I usually did when I went to these parties because she was always too drunk and she wouldn't leave her boyfriend I knew that for a fact. I walked to the fridge and found what I was craving all night; a beer. I laid back against the wall and observed the people. I guess I was pretty focused because I hadn't even heard my brother laughing at me for some reason. I rolled my eyes, he was plastered and walking into things. I didn't laugh that much though because I was probably going to end up like that by the end of the night. He told me to have fun and walked away to flirt with some blonde girl. I went back to obseving people and heard yelling, it was Dally and Sylvia. I guess she did something to piss him off again. I hated when they were like that, Syliva was a good friend but she was a slut and treated Dally like shit, but he treated her like shit too so I guess it was even. The fight ended up with Syliva making out with another guy and Dally stormed off accidently running into me.

"Shit sorry about that Amy," he told me. He was always nice to me probably because I was Two-Bits sister, but that was fine by me because I didn't want to be on his bad side. I looked at him in his eyes, he had eyes that anyone would die for. I always had a crush on him since I was ten years old. Two-Bit knew that, but I trusted him enough to know that he wouldn't tell anyone. He started to walk away, but turned around to tell me something,"You wanna go outside it's getting to hot in here?" I was suprised at his offer, but I went with him, who wouldn't want to be with Dally, I mean you had to know him first, but still.

We walked over to his car and sat on the hood. It was silent and we just stared at the stars. It was getting cold and I was shivering. I guess he could tell since he put his leather jacket over my shoulders. I smiled at him gratefully as I was about to turn away he grabbed my face and pulled me into a deep passionate kiss, I thought I was in heaven.
