"You guys talking about Callie?" Johnny asked no one said anything, but someone must've nodded because Johnny went on.
"She ain't talked to me for two weeks." He sighed and must've frowned. Soon after Pony was done comforting Johnny, they all went their own ways. I walked out quick to catch up with Ponyboy.
"Pony wait up!" I yelled across the lawn. He turned around and looked at me then smiled.
"Where were you kiddo? You missed half the school day." I bit my lip hoping he wouldn't tell Darry, or he would blow.
"Well, I kind of went to the Dingo with Dally. I'm really sorry I know I shouldn't have. Please don't tell Darry." Ponyboy half grinned.
"I knew it must've been something like that. I won't tell Darry, don't worry. Just don't do it again, or I will have to tell him." I nodded and we began to walk home. Johnny came over soon after we began to walk. Something in my stomach turned over. I wanted to talk to him, but something kept me from it. Ponyboy began to talk Johnny's ear off. Johnny just walked next to him thinking and looking off into the sky not listening to a word Ponyboy said. Darry drove up the next minute and I was in the car in a second. Ponyboy hopped in next, and pulled Johnnycake in with him. Darry asked how our day was and Pony answered that it was good. I kept quiet all the way home. I ran into the house and straight to my room. I sat on my bed waiting for it to be Nightly Double time. I must've fallen asleep because the next thing I knew, Ponyboy was shaking me awake.
"C'mon Callie it's time to go." I wok up slipped my switchblade into my pocket and put on my sweatshirt. We ran down the steps and out the door. Dallas and Johnny were waiting for us. I smiled and walked over to Dally. My hair was blowing in my face it was probably one of the windiest nights we've had in Tulsa for a long while. My plaid skirt was blowing up in front of me, and I was getting annoyed with hitting it down and having Dally laugh slightly.
"What are we seein' tonight?" I asked not to anyone in particular.
"Some beach movie, or maybe an old western one." Johnny said quietly. On how I wish to go over there and talked to him to see the smile he saved only for me. He hadn't smiled in days and I knew it.
Finally, we arrived at the Nightly Double. I sat next Dally, and Pony on the other side. After half the movie Pony, and Johnny went to get some coke and popcorn. That was when Dally started in on me not like he did once to Cherry Valance, but just plain flirting and I didn't like it, not one bit. Then he went way over the edge and told me he loved me, and that I am the only girl for him. I swallowed hard and then lied to him and told him that Pony and I should probably get going before Darry got nervous. I knew a guy like Dallas Winston wouldn't believe me, but it worked.
I ran to find Pony and then we ran home I must've been blubbering something awful because Pony just gave me a weird look. I was crying like I'd never cried before. When we got home I ran to my room only to find Soda lyin' in the bed me Pony and Soda shared. I sat next to him.
"Callie? Why you back s'early?" He sat up and then saw I was crying. He didn't know what I was cryin' about, but he sat there and held me close 'til I was done cryin'.
"What's wrong? You wanna tell me?" I nodded and wiped the tears off my face.
"D-Dally told me he loved me….I don't love him. And I don't want to fight. I ain't a fighter. I don't want Johnny to be hurt like that again he scared me s-so m-much." Soda looked kind of confused.
"Do you want to explain to me what the deal with fighting is?" He said his knuckled clenched from being mad about Dally.
A/n: Thanks for the reviews. This is my first Outsiders story so I really hope it turns out good. My first three or two and a half chapters are already written because I wrote them for my friend. I write at least a page and a half every day so I'll try to post that often. Tell me if I'm ever doing something wrong. Thanks again.
