"You hear about Sandy, Soda?" Two-Bit asked, runnin' in to the house.
"What 'bout her?" Soda cautiously asked. It couldn't be too bad. She hadn't found out about the kiss. Soda had been careful to stay away from Suzy.
"She's with Bob. The soc. They're talking about it over at Tim Shepard's place," He settled down with a coke can.
"Dammit!" Soda got up. "You sure she's with Bob?"
"Positive. I saw her there with him. She was kissin' him and everything. She was all over him." He took a long gulp of his coke.
Soda sat back down. He thought, I woulda imagined her gettin' together with Dally to get back at me. This is even worse.
"We can go to Shepard's. Only for a few minutes, because, well, your a Soc. But just to get Soda to get a look at us," Sandy suggested. Tim Shepard had bashes every day. His parents didn't care.
"'Kay." Bob said. He just wanted to see the look on Soda's face when he saw them together.
Soon as they got there, they were searching for people. Sandy was searching for any of the greasers she knew, especially Soda. Everybody was staring at them. It reminded Bob of Romeo and Juliet.
Sandy spotted Two-Bit, not drunk this time, with a girl. They were dancing. But someone stopped the music to look at the Soc. Soon as Two-Bit turned to look at them, Sandy made Bob turn and kissed him right there. In front of all the greasers. She stood real close to him, and kept kissing him. She heard the gasps through the crowd, but didn't bother to stop kissing him.
Pony was out walking with Suzy.
"Suzy, I swear that you shouldn't go out with Dallas anymore. He liked you then, but he...he uses girls. You don't deserve to be used. You gonna forgive Dally?" Pony was walking with Suzy down over at the park. She was happy she had someone to talk to. When she was in love with Dally, she had talked to Soda.
"No," She said, looking down.
"I'm really sorry. You coulda gone to college. You came back here for nothin',"
"I didn't come back here for nothin', Ponyboy. I came back here for Dallas. But I realized that the real reason I wanted to come back was to see Soda," She looked up at Pony, hoping he would understand.
"I'm in love with Soda." She finally said.
