I took a shaky breath as I left the school. The test was over. I don't have to study any more! Finally! I'm going to get my results in the mail soon. (Like maybe a week or two.) I pulled my jacket from my bag and started over to work. When I got there Soda greeted me.

"Hey Susan. How did it go?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.

"I don't think I ever want to think again... ever." I told him. He laughed.

"This is why I dropped out!" He explain. I smiled.

"Well! If I passed like I thought I did, I'm never going to have to go to school ever again!" I told him.

"Like you went to school before." He told me, "Gosh you go for one day to take a test and you swear you never go back. Why were you home schooled anyways?" He asked.

"When I was little I would never want to leave my room." I told him, "Only my dad would be able to get me to leave." I smiled at the memory. When my father was sent to war I would never leave. School had never been an option for me. I only started go in public a while ago and that was only when Rachel, my sister, made me. I wouldn't leave my rooms for days when I heard about my dad. Though I don't mind now. I've meet so many nice people." I told him. He gave me a confused look.

"Your father was sent off to war?" He asked. I nodded.

"He was captured years ago. They've never told us he is dead, though we all know he is." I explained.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be." I told him. He quickly changed the subject.

"So... What did you so to Dally?" He asked. I turned around from where I was looking at a bird pecking at a tire. "How did you know about that?" I asked him. He smiled faded.

"What do you mean?" He asked me.

"What do you mean?" I asked him. He sighed.

"Dally doesn't want you to know but he hasn't shut up about your date." He told me. I smiled.

"Really?" I asked. He smiled.

"I don't understand you people." He told me, "You hate each other and then you agree to go on a date." He shook his head. I laughed with him.

"I don't get it either."

…

"Rachel!" I called, "Can you help me with my hair?" I asked. I was just about ready and Dally was going to be here soon.

"You're still getting ready?" She asked, "You're turning into me more and more every day!" She laughed.

"Just help me." I begged.

"Okay! Okay!" She looked over my outfit. It wasn't anything special but it was my favorite. It was my jeans, my light brown boots, my black under shirt, my red and white checkered button up, and my favorite necklace; a silver chair covered in pop bottle caps. My father had given it to me on my 6th birthday. I smiled once Rachel had finished with my hair. It was in a high pony braided with a piece of ribbon. I thanked her and told her I would be home later. She laughed.

"You're willingly going on a date, Suzy. Come home whenever." She told me. I was so happy I didn't even correct her. I was sitting on the porch when Dally pulled up. I smiled and jumped in to his car. He smiled at me. Whoa. He looked amazing. He was just wearing jeans and a black shirt that was on the nice side along with his leather jacket but he looked amazing. He could give Soda a run for his money.

When we got into the movies I was sad to see it was a horror film. I groaned and Dallas noticed.

"Don't like horror?" He asked me. I groaned again.

"I always find it unfortunately to relate myself to the main character." I admitted. He laughed and pulled me closer to him.

"Don't worry. I'll be here." He told me. I laughed and he pulled me closer to him. He movie was just about to start when there was a knock on Dally's window. He rolled it down to see a tall man leaning next to it. He had rugged face. Either he had a lot of scars or he really needed to moisturize.

"Hey Dal." He greeted. His gaze landed on me.

"Who's the broad?" He asked. I scoffed at the term but said nothing. Dallas answered for me.

"This here is my girl, Susan." He told him, "Now lay off Tim. Don't you have other people to bother." The man, Tim, laughed at this. Not a humorous laugh either. It was cold and empty.

"Just wanted to warn yea." He told him, "There've been a lot o' jumpin's in the last few days. Tell your gang to watch out." He let his words hang in the air and left. The before he did he turned to me.

"You watch out fer this one." He warned me, "He's a big cheater. If you ever need a real men, I'll be here." He told me. He winked and left. I blinked, confused, and turned to Dally.

"Who was that?" I asked. He sighed and put his head in his hands.

"Tim Shepard." He explained, "He is a real pain in the ass but he and his gang are helpful in a fight." I nodded and turned back to the movie. I didn't see much; most of the time I was hiding my eyes in Dally's shoulder. He would just laugh at the movie and pet my head.

After the movie was over Dally started to take me home. When we got about halfway there though he stopped. He pulled over and turned to me.

"Susan?" He asked.

"Yea?" I asked back.

"Will you be at the DX tomorrow?" He asked. I nodded, "Good." He told me, "I was thinking that after that we can get Jay and see how you do at racing." He proposed. I smiled.

"That sounds like a great idea." I told him. He smiled and we were back on the road. When we got home he walked me to the door. I was about to go in but I then turned to him.

"Thank you so much. This was a great night." I told him. He smiled.

"I'm glad." I was going to go back in but Dallas grabbed my arm and turned me around. I was about to ask him, "What?" but I was cut off by his lips pulling me into a sweet kiss. At first I was shocked and didn't know what to do though after a moment I realized what was going on and kissed back. Too soon he pulled away.

"Good night Dallas." I told him. He smiled at me.

"Good night Susan."

Comments? Compliments? Complains? (Hopefully none of those!) I'm open to all of them. Please tell me what your thinking. Even one WORD will do!
