Hey everyone! This is the third chapter. Enjoy, and please review!

I Do Not own "The Outsiders" or any of the characters in this story…Besides Chelsea, Heather, and Ashlee.

Okay, thanks for the reviews!

Flag—Sorry about the paragraph problem, but I did fix it in the second one. I'm still not familiar with Fan fictions uploading and editing part. I don't know how to edit a publish story, but I am working on it. Hope you try and read it.

st.elmos-lover—Thanks for the review! Hope the paragraphs were okay. Oh, and yea…Soda was pretty harsh. Enjoy!

Okay, now for the story…Hope you all remember where we left off. Enjoy!

I was about to cry right then and there. A lot of girls like Sodapop, but the way he's talking about this Ashlee girl is pretty heart breaking. I knew he'd find someone new, and I also knew that I should've told him how I felt when he told me he liked me, but now it's to late. I'm going to have to deal with his now.

"Something wrong, Chels?" Soda asked me, still grinning. I was about to say, "Oh yea, Soda! Everything is great. You're only breaking my heart." But I replied with a simple "No." and walked out of the house.

When I was on the steps I heard him say, "Anyways. Ashlee is gonna be here in a minute." And speak of the devil.

Just then, I saw a beautiful blonde hair-blue eyed girl walking up the street. She was diffidently a greaser girl. She had on a jean skirt up so short, I was surprised she was wearing a skirt at all. Her shirt was cut low. She was thin, but not thin enough to wear a shirt that tight. Her face was covered in bright make-up, which she had too much on, anyways. She had a snobby face. I didn't like her already.

"Hi." She said, rudely.

I guess Soda heard her. He came out.

"Hey ChelChel, this is Ashlee Baker. Ash, this is Chelsea Bryant." He introduced us.

"Isn't 'Chelchel' kind of childish?" Ashlee asked. She seemed so jealous. Well, that makes two of us.

"Yeah. I guess it is pretty dumb." Soda replied.

Now, that hurt me. I know I said I hated it when they called me that, but I also said I secretly love when Soda does. Plus,. Even if Steve's girlfriend had said that, and he answered like Soda…I would've been hurt. That was my nickname they gave me.

"Uh. See ya , Soda." I said.

"Yeah, bye." He replied, like he didn't even know I was there in the beginning. He probably didn't. His eyes were glued to that girl.

I walked down the street with my head down. I was heading for home, until I heard my name being called. I turned around and saw Steve.

"Oh. Hey Stevie." I said.

"Something wrong, Chelchel? Who seem pretty down." He asked.

"Chelchel sound to childish." I said in a mock tone towards Ashlee.

"Huh?" Steve asked.

"Soda has a date tonight. She says Chelchel sounds to childish. She seems like such a bitch. I hate her already. She needs to go away!" I almost yelled.

"Oh gosh, Chelchel. I knew it." Steve groaned.

"Knew what?" I asked, confused.

"I knew that you liked Soda, and I knew him getting girlfriends would hurt you. I also know all that stuff that happened the other night…" He said. I gave him a confused look. How did he know? "Soda told me."

"Oh wow, Steve. Well, you caught me. Now my heart is broken. I know he likes this girl a lot, and it does hurt." I replied, letting a single tear slide down my cheek. Steve wiped it away, but another one came.

"Honestly Chelchel, between me and you…I think he's trying to make you jealous." Steve said.

"Oh, yeah? Why's that, Stevie?" I asked him, almost laughing at the thought of Soda trying to make me jealous of Ashlee. I already am jealous. He doesn't have to try.

"Because. I know Soda isn't over you yet. I know he wants you to like him back, and he might like Ash…But not like he likes you. Not even close." He answered. I smiled.

"Thanks, Steve." I said. He always made me feel better. More special then a best friend.

Okay everyone. That was a pretty short chapter. Sorry about that, but hope you likes it. Please review!
