I know you all waited very, very long for this. It took me a while; I had to find my book. (We had just moved, so it was packed away.)
I walked to the door and opened it. I was dressed in a nice skirt and blouse, you know, to make a good impression.
"Is Darrel Curtis Junior available?" A short, dark hair lady asked me.
"No ma'am, he's at work," I told the lady.
"Well, are you Victoria Curtis?" she asked, briefly glancing at her papers.
"Yes, ma'am," I answered.
"Can I come in?" I nodded. "We need to discuss you're brother, Ponyboy," she told me.
"Ma'am, I don't know much about this kind of thing. Could you please come back later when my older brother is home?" I asked her.
"I really don't have the time," she answered.
"Could you just call then? I don't know much about it. Darry can answer any questions you have," I informed her.
"I really don't have the time," she replied, tapping the face of her watch.
"Please, ma'am," I begged.
"Just this once," she answered, narrowing her eyes.
"Oh, thank you, thank you," I told her, gratefully. I led her to the door and watched her back out of the car. Well, that was easier than I thought. I finished cleaning the house and then I sat in front of the television. 'I should really get a job,' I thought. I shut off the television and went outside. I shut the door and started to walk down the street.
I went into the DX. Soda was there, along with Sandy. I was about to turn around when Soda saw me.
"Hey, Victoria," he called, waving me over. Sandy turned around and gave me this look. It kind of said 'oh, it's you'. I told you, I didn't like her and she didn't like me.
"Hey, Soda," I said. I walked towards him.
"I need to go, I'll see you tomorrow," Sandy said and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"C'mon Sandy, if you really love him, why won't kiss him like you mean it when I'm around?" I asked her, smiling. She gave me another look and left.
"Why don't you two get along?" Soda asked me. I shrugged. "I love Sandy, why can't you try to be her friend?"
"Because she's a bitch," I told him. He gave me a hurt look. "I'm sorry," I told him. "It's a girl thing. I'm just lookin' out for my baby brother."
"Okay, and I'd look out for you, except, you don't have a boyfriend," he said, smiling. I just shrugged. It didn't really bother me. "Why'd you stop by?" he asked.
"Do you have any job openings? I get bored on weekends," I explained.
"I don't think we have any job openings, but I could check," he told me.
"Thanks," I answered. Steve came in, covered in grease.
"What happened to Sandy?" he asked. He grabbed a rag from behind the counter and started to wipe his hands.
"She left," I answered.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot, you two hate each other, Boy that must suck for you" he said to Soda. Soda just shrugged.
"I'll be leaving now," I said. They just nodded. I walked out of the DX and went to Jay's. They always seem to be looking for a waitress or somebody to wash dishes or trays. I went inside and filled out the paperwork for a job.
I went home. It was very boring until Darry got home, and even then it was boring. He was very happy that the house was cleaned. The lady from earlier called him. When Ponyboy came back, there was supposed to be a custody hearing, for Soda and Ponyboy. I guess for me too, but I'd only have like a month in a home or something before I could live on my own.
I went to school the next morning with Two-Bit and Steve. We had to stay together, all of us greasers. The Socs were in an uproar and people were getting shoved into lockers and beaten up. And that was only the first half of the day. The second half of the day no greaser was left unharmed. I had a fat lip, Steve was bleeding from his nose and Two-Bit's eye was puffy.
Dally came with some interesting news. The Socs wanted a rumble and we were giving it to them. Our gang and Shepard's along with the Brumley Boys were goin' against the Socs.
The next day was even better. Two-Bit was jumped. He had walked to our house with his switch blade out. We all went back to the lot, to see if the damn Socs would show up again. Tim and his group were already there. We started talking and stuff. The red-haired girl from the movies came back. We all wanted to jump her (of course, Darry wasn't there) but Two-Bit stopped us. She tried to get on our good-side, and she probably succeeded in convincing all the rest of them. She was saying how she was on our side.
The night after, Two-Bit had this crazy idea. He wanted to go to Texas to look for Johnny and Ponyboy. We all had to talk him out of it. It was a stupid idea. I personally thought Pony and Johnny were right to stay away. I just hoped that they'd come back eventually. It was destroying Soda.
After that, the fourth night my brother was gone, Soda went out with Sandy. He came home in tears, early than I had expected him too. He went to his room and I followed. Darry was still at work.
"Soda, what happened?" I asked softly, sitting at the edge of his bed. He just shook his head. "Okay then," I told him. I should have tried harder, but I didn't. I had a better idea. I called Steve. "Mr. Randle, is Steve there? Hey, Steve," I said.
"Look, Victoria, I have a girlfriend," he told me.
"Steve, you're so full of yourself. God, Soda's upset about something and he won't talk to me. Could ya come over here?"
"Sure, but only because it's Soda."
"Shut up Steve. I don't like you. My brother is in tears," I told him.
"Really, I'm coming," Steve answered. He hung up. It was five minutes before Steve came. In opened the door and I pointed to Soda's room. He shut the door. I stood outside and listened.
"Steve, she just said no when I asked her and left. She didn't provide much of a reason. She's leaving Steve, she's goin' to Florida." I almost had to cry for my brother. It must've hurt him so bad.
The fifth day, Dally came over. He said he was going away for about a day. He had Buck's T-Bird. Soda gave him something; I don't really know what it was. Two-Bit also came over, and boy, did he look bad. His brakes nearly killed him and Kathy. Dally said good-bye and left.
Soda told everybody else what happened between him and Sandy. He seemed really depressed. I mean, it was Sandy and Ponyboy within the same week. If I cared a whole bunch, that would have killed me.
