After work the next day I was about to go home when Soda called me over.
"Yeah?" I asked, hugging myself and pulling my jacket closer. It was getting cold out.
"You wanna come to my house?" He asked me, "Everyone will be there." He added. I nodded.
"Sure. I have to finish the fence anyways." I told him. He sighed.
"You've almost totally fixed it. You've done enough. Come on, you can't say no to free food!" He told me with a laugh. I laughed with him and agreed. We got in his car and went over to his house. Soda was right,almost everyone was there. When I walked in the door I almost feel over. Two-Bit ran up to me and jumped into my arm. I'm lucky I'm strong enough to carry him. I still struggled though and finally set him down on the couch.
"Isn't it the boy who carries the girl away?" I asked him.
"My apologizes, Lady Susan." He told me and pick me up and slung me over his shoulder. Everyone laughed at me clear discomfort. After a while Two-Bit called out,
"Steve! Catch!" The next moment I was flying through the air.
"TWO-BIT!" I screamed, though thankfully I found myself safe in the arms of Steve, "You are so lucky he caught me." I told him. Two-Bit laughed.
"I believe it is you who are lucky." He told me. Just then Dallas walked through the door. He froze at the picture before him. I don't blame him, I would have done the same. It must have looked really weird Two-Bit rolling on the floor laughing, Steve with my over his shoulder and laughing his ass off and me, my head in my hands and a scowl on my face. He walked over to me and leaned down to talk to my face.
"Hey Susan." He told me, "You with Steve or something?" He asked. He got an angry look on his face and I felt my stomach flip. I know he's just acting but I can't help it!
"No Dally!" I told him struggled some more, "He kidnapped me! HELP!" I yelled. He laughed and started to walk away.
"Dally!" I called, "I can't believe you just going to let him kidnap me!" He turned around and smirked. He held out his hand and Steve through me to him. I frowned at looked up at him.
"Would it kill you to just let me down?" I asked. He laughed again a walked into the kitchen, all the while carrying me bridal style. When we walked into the kitchen Darry was there cooking and Pony and Johnny were there studying. He all looked up in shock.
"Did I miss something?" Darry asked. I was about to say something but Two-Bit came busting in a interrupted me.
"You didn't hear?" He asked. He pointed to me in Dally's arms, "Susan and Dally are getting MARRIED!" I laughed at his words but still couldn't help but think what it would be like. Get a hold of yourself, Susan. I told myself, It was only a joke! I looked up to Dally again.
"Will you please let me down?" I asked. He laughed. (He seemed to be doing that a lot lately.) Though he finally set me down. I looked at them all for a moment with a strait face before shaking my head and giving a slight laugh.
"Well that was, strange." I concluded. Waved good bye to the three men, not wanting anything more strange to happen. I sat down next to Johnny he looked up a me, we had become very good friends over the times we had talked.
"Hey Susan. What brings you over?" He asked. I smiled.
"I have have some studying to get done too." I told him, "We got a letter from the school this morning. The need me to take my graduating test on Friday. That only gives me two more days to study. I know I shouldn't worry but I'm still really scared." I told him. He looked at me in confusing though Pony spoke before he could.
"You're gradating? You can't be more than 16."
"I'm home schooled. I learn during the summer to so I get ahead." I told him.
"You planning on going to collage?" He asked me. I was about to respond but I was cut off by Darry calling the boys in for dinner.
…
After dinner all of us were sitting in the living room watching TV and talking. I couldn't believe what was happening and how fast it was. I, Susan Drisco, am crushing on Dallas Winston! Dallas Winston! Is something wrong with me? I just can't deny it anymore. I don't want it to be true but I just can't help it. I excused myself and sat in the hallway near the bedrooms. I was trying to clear my head but voices just kept interrupting my thoughts. It took me a moment to realize that they were talking about me.
"So... tell me." The first voice said. I think it was Sodapop but I really don't know for sure.
"Tell you what?" The second voice asked. My stomach flipped at his words... clearly that was Dallas talking.
"Come on man, you know what I'm talking about." Soda pushed.
"Well I would if you told me!"
"Susan." Soda added. There was a long silence.
"What about her?" Dally asked.
"You like her." It wasn't a question. I hissed in pain when I realized it was digging my nails into my arm.
"Come off it Soda, I don't like her." Dally protested. My heart sank though something in the back of my mind kept telling me, not true.
"Bull shit. You have smiled four times since you walked into this house and you keep... laughing." He pointed out.
"So?" Dally asked a hit on anger becoming clear in his voice.
"So? Really? Dally I didn't even know you knew how to smile, let along laugh." Soda told him, "Dally, you like her." There was another long pause.
"What should I do?" He mumbled after a moment. Soda sighed.
"Dallas Winston. Are you nervous about a girl?" The was a loud thump.
"Shut up Soda." Dally growled.
"Okay, okay. There is no need to hit me! Just ask her out." He told him. I felt my breathing pick up and pulled away from the door. I hurried back downstairs. He liked me. He likes me. HE LIKES ME!
"What are you so happy about?" Steve asked me. I just kept smiling.
"Oh nothing." I told him. He just rolled his eyes and turned to talk to Two-Bit again. After another minute or two Dallas and Soda came back stairs. Soda whispered something is Dallas' ear and Dally narrowed his eyes and pushed Soda away. Soda then came up next to me and sit down. I yawned and greeted him.
"Are you getting tired?" Soda asked me. I shrugged.
"I guess."I told him, "Why?" I asked.
"Maybe you should head home. I hear you've got a lot of studying to do." He told me. I nodded.
"You have a point." I said, yawning again. Soda turned to Dally.
"Dally, you think you could give Susan a ride home?" He asked. Dally nodded and walked out with me.
…
The ride was quiet. Dally kept looking at me and then back to the road every minute or so.
"Is something wrong?" I asked him. He turned to my suddenly.
"Why would you think that?" He asked back. I smiled at him and held my hands up.
"Touchy." I told him. Silence settled in the car again but I was saved by Dally pulling into my driveway. I was about to get out when Dally grabbed my arm. I turned around.
"What?" I asked. He took a deep breath.
"Hey Susan, are you doing anything on Saturday?" He asked me. My stomach flipped and I could really answer though I managed to squeak out,
"Not that I know." I told him. He nodded.
"Well, do you think you would like to come to the movies on Saturday night with me?" He asked. I couldn't talk, I was in shocked. He really does like me. I didn't trust myself to talk so I nodded. He gave a small smile and said goodbye before leaving. Once her was out of sight I screamed.
"YES!" I screamed and ran inside. Tomorrow I had to study so I had to get some sleep.
Too bad I'll never be able to sleep with this excitement.
I have a date.
With THE Dallas Winston.
