Chapter 3
I just fixed about 4:30 and I began to get nervous. Not only because it was my first date with someone have I barely met. I was also being nervous about if my father would see me with Pony alone on a date. My father was able to lock myself in my room for weeks to make me forget about boys.
Before coming to Tulsa I haven't got many friends I got along better with only a couple of girls who came to my class but little else. Now here I had no one special but I felt that maybe Pony could be that someone.
I looked in the mirror and I could only think about if Pony will see me pretty, if he thinks that I going with the right clothes for a first date or if he'll see me more like a Soc. I had tried most of the dresses of my closet and finally I decided to wear one pink but now I saw it a little tight and short, but thinking about how Greasers girls dress I felt that I was wearing something right to a date.
I went downstairs and there in the chair of the dining room was my father, with a beer in one hand and in the other the TV remote. My father was not the same since my mother died, before he spent the day reading a good book or painting a picture. His job change had also affected more to his personality. Before he was working at one of the best banks in the city until it broke, now in Tulsa he is a cleaner that works in a company. The change of life had affected us both but especially to him
.
"Dad."I said from the stairs, he growled without removing his eyes from the TV. "I will walk around the village. It's a day too hot to stay locked up here. I will return about eight "
He growled again as he nodded his head and his gaze was on the TV. I went to the door before he turn and he could see my clothes and think that my clothes were not right to go anywhere. But I ran to the door and get outside.
I arrived to Pony's house before five, it was actually closer to my house than I thought. I knocked on the door and I Ponyboy opened it.
"Hi Danna!" He said smiling. I smiled back. He seemed happy but nervous too. "I'm going out Darry, I'll back soon." He shouted from the door.
"Be careful where you go," replied a voice from inside the house.
After the door closed Pony and I went out into the street. We began to walk aimlessly until Pony asked. "Where we going?
"Well I haven't thought of anything special. I thought if you had the idea you might have something more."
"We can go for an ice cream" I nodded. I like the ice creams and more if a guy like Pony offer me to take one with him.
After a while without saying anything walking I looked at Pony. He looked increasingly nervous and increasingly reddish. I noticed that his clothes seemed new, recently purchased. He wore jeans and a blue shirt sleeves rolled up dark, then I looked at myself and it was obvious that I had arranged for the date. It seemed that he would not going to talk and I did not know what I can ask but I decided to start.
"You know that it is my first date?" He looked up from the floor and smiled.
"Mine too. Are you nervous? "I laughed for his question. Of course I was nervous but I would not let it to dominate me, however he seemed much more nervous than me.
"Well maybe a little, I'm not sure." He nodded and turned his gaze to the ground.
Later we arrive at a coffee shop and we go inside. Pony left the door open and I pass behind him. There's not many people. A couple of people in the line and a few empty tables. Pony goes to the line and I followed him.
"What flavor do you want?" He asked me.
"I think that strawberry and chocolate. And you , what would you want? "
"The same as you." I smiled. I loved that he was so sweet but I missed more of mischief in him. If he put the arm around my shoulder, his hand taking me or just talk to me a little more.
After asking the ice cream we sat on a table in the background next to the window.
"Why did you come to Tulsa?" he asked.
"My mother died a few months ago and my father did not want to stay in the town. He had lost his job at the bank and he saw an announcement of the work here so he decided to try a change. "
"My parents died in a car accident. Now I live with my brothers. Darry is the oldest
And he spends the day working and Soda is a dropout and works at the gas station DX. "
"Your brother is the guy who works at the station?" He nodded and he looked to his ice cream while I watched with amazement face. Then I fit all, I survived at the fight because they were at the station, Pony should be in the group of guys who I always looked when I pass there. That group of guys where the cute guy of the gas station was and Pony should be his brother.
"What's wrong?" He asked as me with a worried face.
I had been looking at him with that look of surprise as everything fits together. "Nothing, I was only thinking about one thing, do not worry."
Suddenly someone knocked his fist at our table. "Hey Greaser, what are you doing in our territory?" A boy asked us. He looks like if he was like our age. He was accompanied by a couple of boys. I had no doubt that they were SOCs.
Pony stood there not knowing what to say looking at those guys. I started to get more nervous about the situation than the date. I did not want more fights with them, I had enough yesterday. The boy returned to give a blow to the table and raised his voice.
"I asked you a fucking question Greaser" Pony looked at him, not knowing what to say. Then I got mad. It bothered me that some guys in their class have to come to spoil my first date.
"This is anyone's territory, so leave us alone and out of here." The boy turned and looked at me. I was sure that he had not even realized that I was there.
"Who are you?, Can I know how a girl of your class is doing with a shit like this?" He said as he got closer to my face and grabbed my arm to throw myself at him dragging me by my seat.
Pony pushed him up from his seat. This guy took a step backwards and his companions went for Pony.
"Hey kids if you want to fight go outside the cafeteria or I called the police." A man yelled from the bar. I looked around without getting up from my seat. All the people there looked at us and most of them were Socs Pony grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the cafeteria to the street.
We started walking faster and faster until we started to run. I was afraid that all the SOCs leave the cafeteria in search of us, then we were dead. When I thought I was far enough I screaming. " Pony, we will follow up here."
He stopped and sat on the curb to light a cigarette. I saw on my wrist the release of the force that Pony was doing on it.
"I'm sorry, I did not know what to do. I should not have taken you there. "I sat beside him and took his hand. I was more nervous than when we started the date.
" It's not your fault. Socs are those damn those seeking a fight. "He squeezed my hand harder at me. We crossed our look and that was when I saw the beautiful color of his eyes. They have a light gray-green color that I loved too much. He took off the view, he took a final drag of his cigarette and stood up still holding my hand.
"We'll go to home." I nodded and we walked down the street holding our hands. I did not mind how the date begun or how a Soc want to ruin it, I'd take this end. I was not going to let my father see me come up with Pony to home so I stopped at the beginning of the street.
"My house here and I'll close myself. Thanks for the date Pony "He nodded his head and look at our hands that still together.
"See you at school tomorrow" I smiled and then he kissed me on my cheek. I smiled back and I left him to return home.
"Danna" He yelled for me to spin. "Tomorrow is going to be a party in the park ... and I had the idea ... that maybe ... if you want to go ... with me." He stuttered turning red.
"I love your ideas." I smiled. He laughed. "Of course I like to go."
"Tomorrow at six I'll wait here for you" I nodded and I turned around.
So it was like a second date? Well I just hoped it was not as bad as this, but at least there were no Soc on it.
I came home quickly. My father had fallen asleep on the couch with the TV on and a few empty beer bottles on the table. I took off my shoes, turned off the TV and went upstairs without making any noise. I still a little nervous about the date and then I thought on Pony and how I felt when I look him on eyes. He is so cute and so sweet.
What I could put on a second date, at a party where I don't not meet anyone and where probably all of the people will be greasers? Since this a million questions came to my head before I could sleep.
Sooo what you think about the date? You like it? On my next chapter the party will be very specially because Danna will meet someone special… =D
