Lol, I forgot that Soda doesn't drink! Oh wow it's been a long time since
I've read the book, I better re-read it. About your question of when is
Val and Johnny gonna hook up, they'll start really hooking up in the next
chapter, this chapter is just for a surprise visitor.
Well heres the new chapter:
Dally left for the kitchen to gather up the alcohol. Unfortuanetly Darry still insisted on us not touching a sip.
"I should be allowed, Dar," I insisted, "it's my Sweet Sixteen birthday!"
"No." He didn't budge. I sighed with defeat and rolled my eyes.
"You suck." I mumbled under my breath and turned to watch Steeve and Soda arguing over poker.
"You two never give up do you?" Two-Bit said to them, smoking a cigarette.
"Can I have a puff Two-Bit? At least I can do that." I took the cig from his outstretched arm.
Darry chose to ignore this comment.
Dally came back five minutes later with the drinks. "Well if I ain't allowed to drink, I'm going to Lea-" I stopped when Leah had walked in the room. "Speak of the Devil." I smiled.
"Happy Birthday!" She shouted and ran up to me giving me a hug.
Leah was my best friend other than the rest of the gang members. She had dark black hair and hazel-green eyes. She sported this look with her red lipstick and light eye make up. Though she already had rosy-lips. We were like sisters, but we didn't look the part of course. I had my brunette locks and bright green eyes and my lips were pink.
"Hi Leah." I hugged back.
"I tried calling several times, who were you talking to?" She let go of me.
I nodded over at Steeve who had been using our phone talking with Evie all day.
"Ohhh." She shrugged. "Hey guys, Soda."
I rolled my eyes, she always did have a thing for Soda and wasn't afriad to show it either. They would flirt every now and then and sometimes I kind of had the feeling that Soda liked her back. She was 16 years old turning 17 in a few months, who knows? They could hit it off.
"Hey." The boys muttered. Darry gave her a funny look, I remembered the bras. I shuddered.
"Hi Leah." Soda gave her one of his charming smiles.
"You guys are drinking?" She watched as Dally threw Two-Bit a can of beer.
"Yeah, you want some?" Darry handed her one.
I grew hot with anger. "What's the big idea?" I shouted at him. "Why can she drink?!"
"Because shes older then you." Soda shrugged.
"AND? Johnny is older then me."
"Oh come on, we all know he won't drink."
I argued back, "But still! Why are you letting my friends drink and not me."
"If it means that much to you I won't touch it." She threw it back over at Darry.
"I just don't know why they won't let me have any."
"Because your our sister and we can control you." Soda put an arm over me.
"But that doensn't explain why Johnny can't." Pony pointed out.
"Because he's our brother and we can control him to." Darry grinned.
"Oh gee, I feel so part of the family." Leah said offended.
"If you were you wouldn't be able to like Soda." I said in a low voice so only she could hear me.
"Good point." She smiled and took a seat on the couch.
"Well lets get the party started!" Two-Bit shouted out like a maniac.
Suddenly there was another knock at the door ----
"What now?" I asked standing up but Steeve walked past me.
"I bet its Evie, she said she might stop by. She said she had some type of surprise."
Johnny and I looked at eachother for a good minute. It was Evie who had dared us to kiss. I couldn't help it, he looked so cute and innocent, I broke out into a grin. He grinned back, I was glad, he wasn't embarassed of what happened earlier, and I really hoped he was talking about himself.
Steeve swung the front door open, and he was right. It was Evie. But she wasn't alone, she had three girls with her, one of them to Two-Bit's delight a dirty haired blond, another a brunette like myself, and last & definetely least. Sandy. My mouth dropped as I watched her enter my house. What the hell was she thinking?!
Soda had looked up from talking to Leah. Everyone had grown silent. I was shaking like crazy, if she didn't leave I would get up any second and beat the heck out of her!
"Hey Soda." She said smiling.
Ok, that's it!
I stood up. "What the hell are you doing in my house?" I snapped at her.
She just looked at me and laughed. She was laughing at me. Leah had got up to and placed a hand on my shoulder, no doubt about it stopping me from doing anything stupid.
"Hi Sandy." Soda said looking at her in amazement. Yeah sure, she was still the beautiful Sandy but she was also the back-stabbing bitch.
I looked at Soda in disbelief.
Why had Steeve let her in the house? Why had Evie even bothered inviting her.
Sandy smiled back at Soda she turned back to me and her blue eyes shinned brightly.
"Hey Val, long time no chat."
"I wonder why." I said coldly.
"You shouldn't have to hold grudges." She said.
"I should with you." I didn't change my tone.
"Oh come on Val, we are good friends."
"We were good friends." I corrected her.
"Val, don't be like that."
I tried to calm myself down but couldn't. "Why don't you just leave."
"No, I was invited." She said simply.
"By who? Her?" I nodded over to Evie. "She obviously doesn't live here."
"No, Steeve invited me."
I turned to look at Steeve. Everyone that had been quiet was watching us, and now they were watching Steeve.
Soda looked at Steeve for a couple of seconds. He looked as though he was fighting back the urge to yell at him. He just got up and walked out of the room.
"See what you did?" I walked past her.
