Dally's POV

"How was your date the other night Dal?" Asked Two-Bit.

I took another puff of my cigarette. The whole gang was here at the Curtis house. I wasn't with the boys yesterday. I was too busy dealing with Tim for what he said on the date. Let's just say Tim got a nice black eye. Then I went to Buck's and talked to some girls.

"It was alright." I said with a shrug. "Shepard decided to be a pain in my ass though so I dealt with him yesterday."

I took another drag.

"Dally what did I say about smoking in my house?" Said Darry as he came into the living room.

I rolled my eye. "You said that I'm not allowed to smoke in front of Pony. He ain't even here."

"Go outside Dally if you want to smoke." Said Darry.

I rolled my eyes once more and got up. I went outside and continue to smoke. I couldn't stop thinking about Caroline. She's so hot. Even though I did talk to a few girls yesterday and kiss some of them, Caroline was still on my mind, those girls had nothing on her. The date wasn't that bad, Caroline is going to be all over me I would say by next week. The only thing that's stopping her is James, after she realizes James is a complete tool she's going to be all over me.

"Hey Dally." Said Soda as he closed the door behind me.

"Hey." I said as I took another puff of smoke.

"How was your date with Caroline?" Asked Soda.

"Wasn't bad, she wasn't really into me at the start but I think by the end she was." I said. "The only problem is James."

"You shouldn't have to worry too much about him. Pony heard that her and James had an argument at school, which resulted Caroline slapping him." Said Soda.

I looked at him with a smirk. "Good to know."

I didn't know she was that feisty.

"Just some advice Dal, don't treat her like the other girls you treat. She's different, she's a pure Soc." Said Soda.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "I don't feel any different towards her compared to any of the other girls I've been with."

"What about Sylvia?"

I tensed up. "Sylvia is a no good broad."

"Is Caroline a no good broad?" Challenged Soda.

"We'll find out. Besides you want me to be good to her cause you like her sister." I said changing the topic.

Soda laughed. "Guess you could say that."

"When you seeing her again?" I asked.

"I don't know but hopefully soon." Said Soda.

"She's crazy about you man. She wouldn't come to the DX and then go on a date with you if she wasn't." I said.

"It wasn't a date. She's dating Archie." Said Soda with a sigh.

"It doesn't matter, she's crazy about you." I said.

Soda nodded understanding. "And I'm crazy about her."

"At least Sandy is out of the picture." I said.

I really can't stand that bitch. She had a great guy like Soda and ruined it.

Sod shrugged. "I am crazy about Rose but I can't help but also think about Sandy. She was a great girl."

I rolled my eyes and took another puff of smoke.

"She was two timing you Soda then left you to go have her kid. She wasn't a great girl." I said.

"Dal she wasn't that bad. I really did like her."said Soda trying to defend her.

"Whatever Soda." I said.

I heard the door open and we both turned around and saw Darry, Pony and Johnny.

"Come on Soda. Get to work you don't want to be late." Said Darry.

Soda nodded. "I'll see you later Dal."

I nodded. Soda walked off and I followed Johnny to Darry's car.

"If anybody gives you a hard time Johnny just tell me. I deal with him." I said as I ruffled his hair.

"Don't worry Dal." Said Johnny.

I could tell he was nervous. This is his first day back at the school.

"I'll pick you guys up after school in Buck's car." I said.

"Okay." Said Johnny.

I'm picking them up so no one bothers them after school. Plus I may run into Caroline.

Pony and Johnny said bye to me then got in.

"Hey Dal before you leave." Started Darry. "I heard what's going on between you and that girl and her sister with Soda."

"Rose is a good girl Darry. Don't worry about her." I said.

Darry nodded. "Just making sure. Sandy really broke his heart and I don't want him to get hurt."

"Sandy is a real bitch but not Rose." I said.

"What's going on with you and the other girl?" He asked.

"Nothing really is going on between us. You know me Darry, just want a nice Soc girl in my bed." I said with a smirk.

Darry shook his head. "Alright Dal. I gotta get going. I'll see you later."

"Okay Darry." I said.

"By the way thanks for picking up the boys. Today is going to be a tough day for the both of them especially since Two got suspended." Said Darry.

Two-Bit got suspended from cutting class. I don't get why they would suspend him though cause of that. Probably because he's a greaser.

"Anytime Darry." I said.

Darry got in the car and I continued to smoke. I thought about how I might see Caroline today and I don't know why but I got a little excited. I'm excited that I'm going to see her.

Caroline's POV

I joined my friends at the lunch table. It was a little weird that Cherry and James weren't here though. James has been ignoring me all day. It almost seemed like he was mad at me in English. I tried to shrug it off but I couldn't.

"Oh Caroline before I forget James told me he wanted to meet you by your locker." Said Blake.

"Now?" I asked.

Blake nodded.

"Alright thanks."

I got up then made my way to my locker. It seemed a little weird how James would want to see me like this. Why couldn't he just tell me? I guess I can finally get my answer to why he was ignoring me to today. As I walked to my locker I felt tears forming when I saw what was going on. Cherry and James kissing.

"What the hell are you two doing?" I said angrily.

James pulled back. "So how does it feel Caroline? Getting hurt by someone you thought you could trust?"

"What are you talking about James?" I asked as I closed my eyes trying to stop the tears.

"You and Dallas went on a date the other night." Snapped Cherry angrily.

"Oh so this is your way of dealing with it?" I said. "Hurting me? Why couldn't you two just talk to me about it?"

"There's nothing to talk about Caroline. You went on a date with Dally!" Snapped James. "Don't even try to lie. Archie heard you telling Rose when he stopped by your house."

I tried to come up with a good cover story. I can't say I made a deal with Dallas because if I did then I would have to tell them Rose went out with Soda and Archie will not be happy.

"I didn't go on a date with Dallas. I didn't even consider it to be a date. We made a deal that if I hang out with him one time he'll leave me alone. So I did that so for you to no longer to have to deal with Dallas and for me to also no longer have to deal with him." I said. "If you would've talked to me right away then we could've talked about this. Going and kissing my best friend doesn't help anyone. You two went out of your way to try to hurt me!"

James' face immediately softened. "Caroline that's why you did it? For us to longer deal with him?"

I rolled my eyes. Now he thinks everything will be okay? It's not like I'm completely lying. After that date I'm never seeing Dallas ever again. I don't want to deal with him anymore. I'm done with him and hopefully he's done with me too.

"Caroline I'm sorry." Said James.

Cherry stood their awkwardly. "Yeah Caroline I didn't know-"

"Obviously. Let's not even talk about why you agreed to kiss James. It's honestly pathetic Cherry." I said furiously.

She was just so jealous that I went out with Dallas that she would stoop that low.

"Listen Caroline. Why don't we pretend none of this happened?" Said James as he stepped closer.

I wanted to forgive him I really did. Sure he did kiss Cherry but I went on a date with Dallas. Wait what am I saying? Dallas and I only went on a date cause we made a deal. James kissed Cherry to hurt me. I didn't cheat on James. He cheated on me.

"James I can't. Like I really can't. You hurt me so much today and I can't deal with your jealousy anymore. I try to tell you nothing is going on between Dallas and me but you never listen. If you can't talk to me like an adult then I can't be with you right now." I said.

I was no longer ready to cry. I'm not going to cry over him. He's being a complete jerk right now.

"Caroline please. I love you-"

"If you did love me you would've came straight to talk to me. Not to go out of your way to hurt me which it worked by the way. Congratulations." I said. "As for you Cherry I hope you're happy now."

I left both of them speechless and walked away. I can't believe that actually happened. James has changed a lot and I can't deal with his jealousy for Dallas and his lack of trust for me. I didn't do anything with Dallas and I don't plan on it.

Dallas's POV

I was in the car waiting for the boys to come out. I looked over to James' car and played with my knife. I couldn't help but think how nice his car would look with a nice scratch. I saw kids starting to come out. Some girls waved hi to me and smiled at me which I return with either a wink or a smirk. I tried to see if I could find Caroline but I couldn't.

"Hey Dally." Said Pony and Johnny.

"Come on let's go. I can't stand being at this school any longer." I said.

Pony and Johnny got in and I was about to ask them how was school until I heard James.

"Not so fast Winston."

"What do you want Soc?" I said.

"Just wanted to talk." Said James.

I saw Archie and the rest of their pathetic gang.

I rolled my eyes and opened the car door and got out. Standing right in front of James.

"Listen Winston we've been having some problems lately." Said James.

"You and Soda can't seem to stay away from our girls." Said Archie.

"Or maybe your girls can't seem to stay from us. Where is Caroline anyway? I would rather be looking at her than you." I said with a smirk.

James started to get a little uneasy. James took a glance towards Johnny and Pony. I put my hand in my pocket. Ready to grab my knife whenever I needed it.

"How about we deal with our problem like real men?" Suggest James.

"Are you challenging me to a rumble? Come on James you're not that stupid. I'll give you a chance to back out though." I said with a smirk.

"Not just you. Soda too. You, Soda, Archie and myself a little rumble Saturday night." Said James.

"Like I said I'll give you another chance to back out. Really think about this James."

James rolled his eyes. "8pm at the park where Bob was killed."

James and the rest of the Socs glanced at Johnny. Johnny looked down.

"Leave the kid alone. This is between us. Now I want this to be a clean fight. No weapons and I want it to just be the four of us."

"Wouldn't have it any other way." Said James with a smirk. "I'll see you then Dally."

The Socs walked off and I got in the car.

"You sure this is a good idea Dal?" Asked Pony.

"Positive." I said.

I sped out of the parking lot. I can't wait to get my hands on James. I want to give him a beating of a life time.
