as often as my schedule will allow!
Anne 5
Soda's POV
"Hey Pony, Steve, Two-Bit!" I yelled, putting my little brother in a head lock and ruffling his hair. "We going out tonight?"
"Naw man, I have school tomorrow," Pony said, throwing me off.
"Me and Two- Bit got dates tonight," Steve said with a grin. "Well, I have a date...Two-Bit has a dog show to go to!" Pony and I laughed at Steve's rather mean joke while Two-Bit tried to punch him – unsuccessfully.
Just then the door to the DX opened. I didn't even bother to turn around since Steve was the one working.
I heard him give a low whistle. "What do we have here?" I turned to look and there was that pretty like Soc, the new one from chem class. She was standing over by the Coke case when Two-Bit got that dumb grin on his face and walked over to her.
"Hey baby, you lost?" She turned quickly to look at him.
"No, thank you."
"You look like you're a little far from home, doll."
"I'm not," she said sharply. I couldn't tell if Two-Bit WAS aggravating her or just making her nervous. I quickly came out from the shelf I had been standing behind.
"Hey, Anne" I said. A look of relief, and maybe something else, spread over her face.
"Hey, Soda."
"You two best friends or something? Stop being rude Sodapop, and introduce us," Two-Bit said, with that "I want to get in on this action" look on his face that I had seen more then a few times.
"This is Anne, she's in my chem class. Anne, this is Two-Bit – he's a flirt, ignore him. The big guy over there is my friend Steve and that's my kid brother, Pony." Anne smiled like she was thrilled to met us...not the usually reaction when you just got introduced to a roomful of greasers.
"Hi," she said with a small smile. "It's nice to meet ya'll but I should be heading home." She moved to walk out the door.
"I'll walk you home, Anne." I said quickly.
"Oh no, that's ok," she said with a smile. "I know my way back."
I looked outside uncertainly, it was nearing dusk, and that wasn't a good time for a girl to be out alone, never mind that she was a Soc...a good looking one at that.
"No," I said firmly. "I'll walk you home." I then took her by the elbow and led her outside. As soon as we were out of the DX she removed her elbow from my grip and walked next to me in silence. I could tell I'd pissed her off, I could also tell that she didn't understand. I stopped walking and she turned to look at me.
"What?"
"There's something that you need to understand." I motioned to a wall. "Why don't we sit?" She sat down next to me, turning slowly to look at me, and raising her eyebrows in question.
"I'm not sure what it's like where you're from," I began, "but here there are two kinds of people – Greasers like me, and Socs like you. These groups don't mix, unless it's to rumble, and it's dangerous for you to walk around here alone." I looked into her eyes and saw that she understood.
"I can still talk to you, right? That's not violating some rule is it?"
I couldn't help but smile, "No, we can talk, it would just make things easier for you if you kept it a minimum." She looked down at her hands, quietly thinking. Suddenly she looked up.
"Soda?"
I looked up and met her eyes, "Ya?" and that's when it happened....
