I woke up to Tim shaking me and telling me something I couldn't understand. I finally woke up and yelled at him. "WHAT!"

"It's 6:00 and if you wanna go on this date of yours you might wanna get your lazy butt up."

He left the room and I got up and went into the bathroom. I took a quick but hot shower and ran back into my bedroom. I looked through my clothes and finally found something cute but not trashy. I looked in my mirror that hung on my closet door, I had on a jean skirt that was about 6 inches above my knees and a light pink tank top that had princess written across it in a darker pink with glitter. I slipped into a pair of pink strappy sandals that tied around my ankles and had a small heel and let my hair down and pushed it behind my ears. I had on no make up, I don't really wear it. I heard a knock on the door and Curly came into my room. "You boy toy is here."

"He is not my boy…" I stopped Dally was standing in the living room and I decided not to finish that sentence. "Well… um." I had no clue what to say. Luckily I was saved.

"Well the movie starts at 8:00 so ya wanna get going." He smiled at me and I waved goodbye to Tim and Curly and we left.

We walked in silence for a while until we reached a group of guys that were about to fight. Dally pulled me too him and kept me close as we past them. He still held onto me long after we passed but I didn't care I liked being this close to him and not being on the grass in a lot. We reached the movie theater and Dally did the unthinkable he paid for us to get in. We bought popcorn and drinks and we sat down. I was really cold and I guess Dally noticed because he put his arm around me. I put my head on his shoulder and we watched the movie in silence.

When the movie was over we began to walk back to my house. It was only 10:00 so we went to the Dingo and sat down. We got a milkshake and some fries. For the first time during our date Dally spoke.

"So you've never looked for your parents?"

"I wrote my dad one letter every day for a year. I never got anything back besides money and last year my car. I wished every year they would come and get me, no one came to get me so I gave up, I stopped wishing and praying and I finally stopped writing."

"Oh. So you've lived here for 3 years with Tim Shepard, gone to the highschool, play volleyball, ad never met anyone outside of the volleyball team and your brothers gang?"

"Yupp." I said and smiled at him. "I'm not one to just easily trust someone."

"You talked to us pretty fast."

"Yes… but Tim and Curly were with me."

We talked for awhile longer about volleyball, fighting, New York, and how Dally wound up here. At 11:30 we paid and headed to my house. I shivered as the cold night wind whipped around me. Why did I wear a tank top, I mentally kicked myself for not bringing a jacket. I looked up at Dally and smiled. He had his arm around my waist and felt me shiver once again. He stopped walking and took off his jacket he wrapped it around my shoulders and put his arm back around my waist as we continued to walk.

When we reached my house he walked me up my front porch. He turned me around and put his hands on my hips. He looked down at me and smiled something he rarely did. "I had fun tonight Alice. I hope you did to." I smiled. "I did… I had a lot of fun. Thanks Dally." I stood on my tiptoes and quickly kissed his cheek. "Thanks for tonight it was fun." He turned around and began to walk home, or wherever he went, he waved bye to me and I waved back and walked in the house.

I shut the door and leaned against it and sighed a happy sigh of relief and closed my eyes.

"So I take it you had a good time."

I jumped up and yelped at the sound of Tim's voice. He didn't sound mad or upset but I looked at the clock just incase, 11:50, I was home in time. He stood up and walked over to me.

"Did he pull anything, was he nice, did he pay, where did y'all go?"

"Tim! Slow down. He was a perfect gentleman (Tim snorted at that), he paid, and we saw a movie and went to the Dingo. So you can go to sleep and not have to kill him."

"Why are you wearing his jacket?" He asked looking at it draped across my shoulders.

"I was cold and he let me wear it. Nothing more Tim. I like Dally, he's nice to me ok. Can you live with this or do I have to beat it into you?"

"Yea I guess I can deal with it." He kissed the top of my head and walked to his room. I sighed again and went into my room. I changed into a pair of grey sweats and a black T-shirt and fell asleep with Dally's jacket.
