Chapter 3
Francesca's POV
My first 2 days with the Curtis and the gang were great. They told me about the problems with Greasers and Socs, all the rumbles, the switchblades...
I love this place, but I never feel safe! I kinda regret the fact I chose to visit this town... I didn't know teenagers could be so dangereous!
Anyway, the more I live with those 3 brothers, the more I fall in love with Dar.
I thought he was just a good-looking guys with muscles and icey eyes... but he truly is an angel. He's been taking care of his brothers ever since their parents died.
How many 20-year-old guys would do that?
Ponyboy's POV
-Buongiorno!
Francesca says as she sees me coming to the kitchen.
-Buongiorno to you!- I reply. That word means "good morning" and I love the way she says that...
It's just 8 am, she has no make up and is waring a bedgown... but she's just so beautiful!
Darry has already gone to work, Soda's cooking breakfast.
I have no school today... no school for the next 6 weeks!
Today's Soda day off and we are taking Francesca to the countryside.
-Did you have a good sleep, Pony?- she smiles while asking that.
-Hmm not really, I had a nightmare... I've always had nightmares after mom and dad died...
-Oh dear, I'm so sorry... I know that we haven't known each other for a long time... but God, you are the 3 bravest kids I've ever met! If I lost my parents, I would stop living, I wouldn't study anymore, I wouldn't work anymore... they mean a lot to me... But you are doing a great job staying together! And you are just so lucky to have Darry in your life...- she stops. I knew she was in love with Dar.
Soda starts talking -Thank you, but... listen, I realised you look Darry in a way... I don't know... c'mon, do you like him? D'you have a crush on him?
Francesca blushes. Soda's tongue is unstoppable at times.
-Ok, yes, I do! I do! God, I've never felt more stupid in my life! I'm such a b..-
-Do not say that word, Fanny! You are not! And I know Darry would like you a lot, if he only had the time to look at girls! We are so lucky, but we also wish he didn't work so hard, he would be funnier, calmer and perhaps have a girlfriend...-
Soda's going to say something else, but I'm just too curious to find out more about Fanny. I didn't know she studied, so I ask her: -Fanny, what do you study?-
She obviously feels less awkward now that the subject has changed.
-I study history, I would like to teach history in universites.-
She starts talking to me about her life and we don't say a word about Darry until we come back home in the evening and find him cooking dinner in the kitchen.
Francesca's POV
Today was great.
Even if there's not much to do here, there are so many farms around this town and I just love farms, fields, nature...
Now we're home. We took the train to a place I don't remember how it's called...
Unfortunately, Dar's home. Of course he was supposed to be here and cook dinner, and so is he now.
-Hi Darry!- I say as I enter the kitchen. -May I help you?-
-Oh no Fanny, thanks... you must be tired, don't worry! Just relax a little...
Did he say I have to relax? Who, me? I spent the day having fun wandering around the fields while he was roofing houses and I should relax?
-Ain't you tired?- I manage to say.
-Oh, don't worry, I'm used to that...-
I go to my room with a shy expression on my face, and notice Pony and Soda are wrestling and playing in their bedroom.
Soda affectionately kisses Pony on the forhead and they stop wrestling, and then Pony hugs him.
The cutest hug I've ever seen... I wish my sister was still alive... she died when I was 2 and she was 5, so I don't remember anything about her... it was cholera, the same illness who killed my best friend and thousands of people in my home town in Italy.
