Chapter Two: Dally's Thoughts

Sunshine's P.O.V.

Ugh, I was so annoyed with Dallas Winston! I hated him! He was such a jerk. I don't know how he got any girls at all!

"Sunny, you okay?" Johnny asked.

I sighed.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Johnnycake." I said and kept looking at the TV.

Dally's P.O.V.

I walked down the street, away from the Curtis's. I had a sly grin on my face, which faded as I walked through the cold, crisp air, stuffing my hands into the pockets of my brown leather jacket.

I wouldn't be as cold if a certain someone was here holding my hand…

Ugh, don't think like that! I don't have feelings, I'm Dallas Winston dammit! I thought as I trudged along.

I was always so mean to Sunny. I couldn't help it, it's my personality. But I didn't want to be like that with her. I liked her. She acts cold towards me, but I've seen how she acts when she's with her brothers or any of the other gang. She has a nice smile, and a great personality. She's beautiful.

Plus, she had a nice ass.

(A/N: Sorry, I had to put that in there to get Dally back into character:P)

Maybe she wouldn't hate me if I stopped being so mean to her and hating her. I tried to all the time, but it's hard for me.

Leaves fell across my path as I walked, my breath coming out in visible clouds.

I didn't know where I was going, but I had to go think.

Sunshine's P.O.V.

I was glad Dally was gone.

"You guys wanna go to the movies? Darry, Soda and Steve won't be home for a while still," I suggested. Steve Randle was Soda's best buddy, another one of our gang. They worked at the DX gas station together.

"Sure," Ponyboy said.

"I'm in," Two-Bit said. Johnny just shrugged and followed us out the door.

As we walked to the movies, I hoped we didn't see Dally anywhere. I knew he wasn't quite as much of a jerk all the time, why did he hate me so much? I knew he had a good side, but as long as he refused to show it to me, I hated him.

Finally we arrived and snuck into the movie house through a window.

We sat beside some of our fellow greasers in the back row. Ponyboy was at the end, me beside him, Johnny beside me, and Two-Bit at the other end. A girl sitting beside Ponyboy turned to him.

"Hey, you're Ponyboy Curtis ain't you?" She asked.

"Yeah," Ponyboy said quietly. Then she saw Johnny.

"And you're Johnny Cade. You guys were the ones who killed that Soc right?" She asked.

Johnny slowly nodded, colour draining from his face ever so slightly.

"Nice going," She giggled, chewing on a piece of gum.

"And who's this? You're girlfriend?" She asked, looking at me.

"No, that's my sister," Ponyboy said.

"Sunshine Curtis," I said, cutting Ponyboy off and extending my hand to the girl.

She shook it, smiling at me.

"Wow, so original names run in your family?" She asked.

"Yeah, my dad was original himself. We got two brothers; one of them is called Sodapop. And that's our real names, too," I said.

"Tuff enough," She said. "My name's Janine,"

She mostly talked to Ponyboy the rest of the time. I liked her, she wasn't loud or slutty like some greaser girls.

When the movie was over, we walked home, Ponyboy trailing behind, talking to Janine, who Pony had invited to our house.

"I think Ponyboy digs Janey or whatever her name is," Two-Bit said in a low voice to Johnny and I.

I rolled my eyes.

"Her name's Janine, and yes Ponyboy does like her, I can tell, so be nice to her Two-Bit, and that means no hitting on her or saying dirty stuff around her," I said.

We just kept walking.

When we all got back to my house, Darry, Soda and Steve were there. I opened the door.

"Hi Darry," I said cheerfully.

"Hello Sunny, where have you guys been?" He asked.

"The movies, don't worry, Two-Bit was babysitting us." I said. Then at the same time, Soda and I said,

"Hey Soda!" and "Hey Sunny!" Then we laughed at each other.

"Gee, you must be twins," Two-Bit said, sitting down on the couch.

"We are," Soda and I said, together again. Then we laughed again.

"And who's this young lady?" Darry said, as Janine and Ponyboy came through the door.

"Darry, this is Janine, Janine, this is my brother Darry, my other brother Sodapop, and Steve." Pony said.

"Hey Steve," I said quietly while Pony was doing the introductions as I sat in between him and Two-Bit on the couch, Johnny sitting on the other couch.

Ponyboy and Janine went back to Ponyboy's room.

Darry was in the kitchen making dinner.

"By the way, Dally'll be here for dinner," He said.

"What!" I said, turning quickly to face my older brother.

Speak of the devil. Just then, Dally strolled in. I rolled my eyes and left the room.

I walked down the hall, past Darry's room, and to the room with 2 beds that I shared with Pony and Soda. I opened the door and saw Ponyboy and Janine sitting on a bed, kissing. I rolled my eyes again.

"Oh for God's sakes!" I said.

"Oh… hey Sunny," Ponyboy said and grinned sheepishly at me. He opened his mouth to talk again, but I said,

"Don't worry, I ain't gonna tell Darry," and then I left the room and went back into the living room.

"Well hello Sunshine, I never got a chance to say hi to you before you uh, stormed out on me," Dally said.

"Good evening Dallas," I said dryly and walked into the kitchen. I sat at the kitchen table and Darry was in there too, still making dinner.

"God Darry, I can't stand Dallas Winston!" I said.

"I know kiddo, but if you both gave each other a chance, you might end up bein' friends," Darry said. I just sighed and exited the room.

I sat down beside Soda and Steve on the couch, not looking at Dally, but instead watching TV. Two-Bit was lying on the floor watching Mickey. I don't how Mickey was always on whenever Two-Bit decided to watch TV, but I just kept watching it. Dally was on the other couch with Johnny. I could feel his eyes on me.

A little while later, finally Janine and Ponyboy came out of our room and Ponyboy took Janine to the door.

"You shouldn't be walking home alone," He said to her.

"But if you walk me home, you'll have to walk back here alone," She said.

"I'll go too," I said and got up.

"We'll be back in a few, Darry," I said, putting on my leather jacket. Then the three of us walked out the door.

Ponyboy and Janine held hands on the way there, and I strolled along, enjoying the fall.

Finally we arrived at Janine's house, and Pony gave her a kiss goodnight before we left the threshold.

On the way back home, Ponyboy turned to me and said,

"So… you didn't tell Darry did you?" I chuckled.

"No, little brother, I didn't tell Darry."

"Thanks." He said. "You like Dally, don't you?" He asked suddenly.

"What? No! Haven't you been paying attention kid? I can't stand the guy!" I said.

"I think it's because you like him. He acts the same way. It's an excuse, a disguise, for feelings you're both trying to deny."

"You read too much, kiddo." I said.

But I knew he was right.

"Sunny?" He said.

"Yeah?"

"Soda said he dropped out because he was dumb. Soda's not dumb is he?"

I didn't say anything for a second while we walked along in the darkness.

"No," I said finally, "No, Soda isn't dumb; he just ain't interested in school, that's all."

We walked in silence for another few minutes.

"Why did you drop out?" He asked.

"Cause I ain't interested in school either. I'll tell you something Ponyboy, but you can't tell no one. Cause I ain't told no one either."

"Sure," He said.

"I wanna be famous, Pony. I wanna be in a rock band. Someday." I said.

There was silence for another couple minutes.

"I believe you can do it, Sunny," He said quietly. I smiled and put my arm across my little brother's shoulders the rest of the walk home.
