Sorry it took so long to update! I got tired of typing. But, I write the storys out by hand first then type them. And I wanted to relax to read some too.
Chapter 3:
A FEW WEEKS LATER...
It was a friday morning when I met up with Ponyboy and Johnny. We were walking to school while Pony and I were arguing about something as stupid as Goofy.
"Mickeys a mouse, Donalds a duck, Plutos a dog, whats Goofy?" Johnny asked.
"Goofy's a dog, he's definatly a dog," Pony answered.
"Can't be a dog, he wears a hat and drives a car," I said. But sincerly I had no clue.
"God. Thats wierd, what the hell is Goofy?" Johnny asked again, I shrugged. A/N I LOVE "STAND BY ME!" AND RIVER PHEONIX RIP Then a group of girls that were chatty walked by and dropped a peice of paper.
"I wonder what they're bickering about?" I wonderd. Then as soon as I asked, I was answerd.
Ponyboy picked up the paper one of the girls dropped and read outloud, "'dance after school on friday 7:30-10:00.' Well, golly I don't believe this, says here that 'instead of guys asking the girls, the gals are going to ask the guys.'" A/N: Yes, I know that was a cheapy handout, but hey, I'm no advitiser! lol!
My heart started beating really fast, and so loud I could barely hear myself think. I looked up at Johnny and Pony, as far as I knew it, they didn't notice. "So, the girls are going to ask the guys? I wonder who I'm going to ask?"
"You wonder who your going to ask? I wonder whos going to ask me!" Pony said.
"Why do you worry about that anyway? I never worried about what guy was gonna ask me to the dances!" I lied, I did worry, wondering if Pony was going to ask me.
Johnny answerd for him, "Because what if we don't get asked?"
"So, I've never been asked plenty of times before," I said in a matter of factly tone.
"Yeah, but what if I get asked out by a girl who I don't like?" Pony is just looking for an argument today.
"Well, when a guy that I don't like usually asks me out, I just say no."
"But, what if I don't want to hurt her?" Pony asked.
"I never want to hurt any of the guys I turn down, but it's unavoidable. I just hope they understand."
"Oh wo ho! Like how Curly Shepard understood when you turned him down last year!" Ponyboy remarked with a smerk. He has such a nice smerk.
I had almost forgoten Johnny was there when he spoke, "Yeah Elektra, he tried to kill you! Remember?"
"Well, he was also trying to kill Pony," I said.
Pony's eyebrows raised and nodded and whisperd "Yeah, not something I want to relive!".
"Yeah I know, I'm still trying to forget about that," I said slowly.
"Sorry," Johnny said. But, I knew he was right. Curly really didn't take it well at all.
FLASHBACK:
A/N: I'm getting tired of typing, I wrote it out on a sheet of paper first so I'm gonna put it in a script kind of structure if you don't mind...
NARATOR'S P.O.V.-
Curly: Hi, Elektra baby!
Elektra: Hi, Curly.
Curly: If you don't already have a date for the winter ball...
Elektra: I don't.
Curly: Me either, so I was thinking maybe we could go together babe!
Elektra: I'm sorry Curly. Your just not my type. I'm really sorry...
Elektra turns around and sees Pony and walks off.
Elektra: Hey, Ponyboy!
Later that day when Elektra was walking back to Pony's house she saw Curly looking at her and Pony coldly from the other side of the street. But, she just shrugged it off and forgot about it until later that night she got the shock of her life at the Curtis house. The entire gang was having a great time watching Two-Bit doing impressions for their teachers from school in the livinroom. The were also trying to get Dally to sing christmas songs along with them.
Elektra was sitting on Pony's lap with her feet on Johnny's lap, who sitting on the other end of the couch. Pony wanted to get a drink but, Elektra was sitting on his lap, so he lifted her up and was going to put her back down on the couch. Then the shattering of glass starteld everyone. A rock was now on the couch were Ponyboy and Elektra was sitting. They looked out the window and saw Curly on the side walk in jeolous rage. He was screaming and cursing. Elektra still remembers what he said, "You said I wasn't your type, h-h-he i-is? You said you said you weren't interested in going, you selfish whore!" Curly just kept going on and on.
Pony just held Elektra and didn't put her down. Elektra still didn't let go of Pony. Both were in huge shock. Johnny was too. He just kept looking straight at the rock and shattered glass next to him. Dally picked up the phone and called Tim Shepard, and told him to come pick up his brother at the Curtis house. Darry went and got tape for the window. While Two-Bit, Steve, and Sodapop ran outside and dragged Curly into the house to wait for his brother.
END OF FLASHBACK!
"But, you two have nothing to worry about. I'm sure that if you guys turn down a girl she won't act like that." They nodded.
At lunch time Two-Bit drove Ponyboy, Johnny, and I down to the DX. None of the greasers ate lunch in the cafetaria, full to socs. When we walked inside we were greeted by Soda and Steve.
"So, did you guys get asked out yet?" I was curiously waiting for Pony's answer.
"No," Pony and Johnny said in unison. YES!
"A blonde asked me out," Two-Bit said proudly. Him and his blondes...
"Uh huh, Whats her name? Maybe I know her." I asked.
"I don't know, but she's a blond!" he replied. I laughed, typical Two-Bit.
"So, who were you thinking about asking?" Sandy's, Soda's girlfriend, asked me. Sandy was blonde, the only blonde Two-Bit didn't go after. She's a greaser, but like me not a slu- I mean, diffrent from the other ones.
"I don't know," I relied, I think she knew I was afrade to ask.
"Come on," she told me and we walked into the one place a girl could get privacy, the tampon isle A/NHAHAHA!. "So, whats really up?" she asked again. Sometimes I need to talk to girls about stuff, stuff I wouldn't be able to talk to guys about. In thoughs cases, I usually talk to her.
"I didn't ask him yet," I said. She knew I liked Ponyboy awhile ago. Once when Pony was talking she saw that I was blushing, she pulled me into the other room and I confesed.
"Why not? You're never going to know until you ask! Like I always say, 'If your at someone's house, don't be afrade to use the plunger.'" A/N: I ACTUALLY USE THAT TOO! LMAO, SINCERALY!
"But, what if he doesn't feel the same way about me? I would feel awkward and I don't want to ruin our friendship if he says no!" I said alittle to loudly, I looked above the rack, no one was looking, luckly.
"Well, all I am saying is that you should ask him before someone else does," then we walked to where the beauty(pony) and the beasts(other guys) were.
"What were you gals talking about?" Soda asked.
"We were in the tampon isle?" I told him, cocking and eyebrow.
"So, its gals ask the guys?" Steve asked me.
"Yeah," I said.
"Okay," he replied, "Just as long as there isn't another incedent like last years."
"Not again," I rubbed my head. I saw Pony and Johnny smerk, so I gave them the evil eye. They stoppeed immediatly.
"Just don't ask out guys who go to the reformatory every other month." Steve suggested.
"Okay, two things, one," I made the one symboll with my finger, "I didn't ask him out, I turned him down," I said in a matter of factly voice, "and two," I started waving my pointy finger like a wild woman, "isn't there a car you should be working on or something?"
"Yeah," Two-Bit said, "What she said..." he nodded his head.
"We should get going or we're going to be late for class," Johnny said.
SODAPOP'S P.O.V.:
"We should get going or we're going to be late for class," Johnny said. Two-Bit, Johnny, Ponyboy, and Elektra said their "goodbyes" and headed back to school.
As soon as I was sure that they left, "Tampon isle, girl troubles?" I asked Sandy.
"She wants to ask Pony," she replied.
"Yeah, Pony wants her to, too." I told her.
Yah, again sorry it took me so long to update. As always, read and review, please! I really want some more reviews. As I said before, I write out the chapters and then write them. I already wrote up to chapter 5 but in my opinion there not as good as these first 3 chapters. So, don't mind me if they're not as good. They're kindof shorter, too. But I'm working on them.
