Chapter Fifteen: First Day At Work

Monday was a very big day. It was my first day of work, Steve was getting out of jail, and Two-Bit and I were still in a fight. Steve got out of jail early enough so that he was there with all the others when I was about to leave. They were all giving me retarded advice.

"Remember, never wash your hands before you serve people food," Soda said.

"And always steal money out of the tip jar," Steve said. They both laughed.

"Shut up guys," I said, but I couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Aw, they're not serious Sunny," Ponyboy said. I smiled at him.

"Yeah, we're all proud of you. Especially me, because your finally doing something. Plus, we get to keep the house!" Darry said.

Two-Bit didn't say anything to me, and I didn't say anything to him. Dally kissed me goodbye, and I got to ride to work with Darry, Steve, Soda and Two-Bit. It made me feel like I was finally grown up or something like that. We dropped off Steve and Soda at the DX first, and they wished me good luck. Then Darry pulled up at the Dingo.

"Do you want me to come in with you?" He asked.

"You sound like mom," I said with a smile. He smiled back.

"Alright, then I'll pick you up on my way home. Good luck," He said as I got out of the car.

I heard him drive away as I stepped through the doors of my new workplace. Gary walked up to me.

"Hello Sunny! First day on the job, don't let me down! Haha, just kidding. Anyway, there's your first table, right over there." He said all in one breath and pointed at a table in the back. I raised my eyebrows and walked over to the table.

"Hi there, can I get you something to drink?" I asked the three guys sitting at the table.

"I'll have a coffee," One of them said.

"Same here," Another said.

"Yeah, me too," The third guy said.

"Alright, I'll be back in a minute," I said and walked back to the kitchen. I poured coffee in three mugs, put it on a tray with sugar and cream, and walked back to the table.

"Here you go," I said and set the tray down.

"Ready to order?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll have a breakfast BLT," The first guy said.

"I'll take an omelet," The second one said.

"Yeah, and I'll have French toast." The third guy said.

"Alright, I'll be back," I said and walked away. I walked over to the window in the kitchen where the bus boy was standing.

"I need an omelet, a French toast, and a BLT," I said.

"Sure thing Sunny," He said and related my order to the chef. A while later, He handed me the food on a tray and I went over to the table with the three guys.

"Here you go," I said and handed out their food. "Enjoy," And I walked away. A while later I saw them leaving, so I went over to the table to collect the money. There was my tip there as well. I picked it up and smiled, along with picking up the tray.

This is going to be a good day, I though, stuffing my tip in my pocket. But, when I turned around, I almost dropped my tray. Two-Bit had come in, and was looking around. I watched as he walked over and sat at the bar. I frowned and walked over. I handed the tray to the bus boy and walked over to Two-Bit.

"What are you doing here?" I growled quietly at him, so that Gary wouldn't hear.

"I just came for some breakfast," He said casually, but while giving me a death glare. I glared right back at him.

"What can I get you?" I said in a friendly voice, as Gary walked by.

"Beer," Two-Bit said. I kept eye contact with him for a minute, then walked away to get his stupid beer.

When I came back, I set the beer down in front of him. Then, without warning, he loudly yelled,

"Sunny, I can't believe you're going to break up with me here!" My eyes widened as a couple people, including Gary, stared at us.

"Two-Bit!" I hissed.

"No, you know what; I can't talk to you right now!" He yelled, in a teary voice. I was glaring daggers at him.

"Are you trying to get me fired!" I growled at him. He just hid his head in his hands as a response and pretended to cry. Everyone was now looking at me. I looked around at all them, growled in frustration and ran to the back.

"Sunny, what the hell are you doing?" Gary said, following me.

"It's not me! That's Two-Bit, he's trying to get me fired! Don't blame me, please Gary," I pleaded.

"Fine. Just… don't give him anymore beer, okay?" He said. I nodded. He walked away and I peaked around the corner. Two-Bit was calmly sipping his beer, and everyone else had gone back to their conversations. I went back around the corner.

Damn… I thought, wishing Two-Bit and I didn't randomly hate each other.

Riding in the truck back home with Darry, Soda and Steve, I was telling them all about my day with Two-Bit.

"So, tell me again, why the hell do you tow suddenly hate each other?" Steve said.

"Because he was watching Mickey and I changed the channel," I said quietly. Steve started to laugh, but I glared at him, making him stop.

When we got home, I was very happy to find Two-Bit sitting on the couch. That was sarcasm.

"What the hell is your problem!" I yelled at him, making Ponyboy, Johnny and Dally jump, who were all in the house too.

"What? I didn't do anything! You just think I did, because you're always so mean!" Two-Bit shouted.

"You didn't do anything? How about this: 'Sunny, I can't believe you're breaking up with me here!' Huh Two-Bit? Ring a bell?" I yelled.

"Ha, yeah, that was a stroke of genius," He said.

"No, it wasn't, you almost got me fired!" I shouted.

"So what!" He yelled back.

"So what? If I got fired we would lose this house! Is that what you want?" I asked.

"It ain't what I want for Pony, Soda and Darry," He said calmly.

"Oh, really Two-Bit? Fuck you!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

"Same to you!" He yelled, equally loud. With that, He stormed out of the house and I stormed back to my room.

"Sunny," Soda called as he followed me.

: PONYBOY'S P.O.V. :

Everything was quiet for a second after Two-Bit left and Sunny went back to our room. Soda followed her, which left me, Darry, Johnny, Steve and Dally in the living room.

"Whoa," Johnny said after a while.

"Yeah man, I can't believe those two," Dally said.

"Maybe I should wash her mouth out with soap," Darry said thoughtfully. The funny thing was that he was serious.

"Well, I'm going to make sure she's okay," Dally said and went back to our room.

I couldn't believe how they hated each other so much suddenly. I mean, they used be great friends. Now they're fighting over Mickey Mouse. Unbelievable.

:SUNNY'S P.O.V.:

I was in my room, pacing angrily just like a caged lion. I could tell I was making Soda nervous.

"Sunny, willya sit down?" He asked me. I looked at him for a minute, then said,

"I can't believe Two-Bit! He's such a jackass!"

"I know, I guess, but you have to calm down, I'm not the one you're mad at," Soda said.

"You're right, I'm sorry," I said and sat beside him. Then Dally walked in.

"Sunny, you okay?" He asked.

"No! Two-Bit's a he-bitch!" I yelled, which caused Dally and Soda to burst out laughing. I didn't see the humour in it.

"What the fuck is so funny? God dammit!" I said. They just kept laughing.

Soon though, they stopped laughing and the three of us re entered the living room. I overheard a conversation Darry was having with Steve.

"So I told the guy that Sunny got the job, and he seemed happy for us." Darry said to Steve.

"Oh yeah? What was this guy's name?" Steve asked. Dally, Soda and I were standing there listening.

"Um, I think his name was Doug. I told him before that Sunny was looking to get a job at the Dingo. He's a weird guy, though. He always hangs out with this guy that he's really good friends with, I guess. Maybe you know his friend. His name's Vince."
