Chapter 6
My brain must have gone as numb as my butt from sitting in the snow, for I replied, "What?" Carrie had stood up and was pacing now. I pulled myself up and leaned against the wall. She stopped and rolled her eyes at me. It took me about a minute before I relized what she had said. "Oh!" I cried and she nearly fell off the curb laughing at my stupidity. She had a right and was grinning at me, then looked past me and kind of half nodded.
"Two-Bit, what do you want?" I called without turning around. He came up behind me and must've made a face, for Carrie was laughing rather hard. I had forgotten why Carrie had been so tense earlier but she didn't mind. In fact she seemed rather glad and fairly unafraid now. She pulled her hair up into a high ponytail and slapped Two-Bit playfully on the arm.
"So is Pony finally into girls now?" he asked stupidly. Carrie giggled behind her hand. I punched Two-Bit in his arm and cussed him out. "Honestly." Carrie was still laughing as I put my arm around her shoulder. She was shaking, but I couldn't tell if it was from the cold or the laughter.
"Come on, let's go somewhere," Two-Bit said, practically shoving me into the street. I turned and walked towards one of the gas stations. It wasn't the DX but it was another one Steve had worked at before so I pushed open the door and wandered around. I heard a shuffling noise behind me and a voice whisper, "you're dead" and nearly jumped out of my skin.
Upon hearing the familiar laugh, I nearly ran backed right into Carrie. She was still grinning at me. We bought a couple drinks and a pack of Kools. We leaned against the side of the store and had a smoke. Carrie nearly dropped her drink trying to light her cigarette and Two-Bit nearly made her drop it again by clapping her on the back.
"Two-Bit, go away," she hissed, taking a huge gulp of her root beer. He was grinning cheesily at her and I had to look away. I guess Two-Bit was right, I did like her. A lot. I jumped when I heard a glass break and noticed Carrie had dropped her drink. She swore rather loudly. She was definately a greaser girl.
"Two-Bit, goddamn you," she muttered, bending down to pick up the glass. She grabbed the package of Kools out of his hand and shove them into her jeans pocket. "I'll burn your jacket if you don't stop." She grinned as he glowered.
Carrie jumped as a car came by and honked their horn. It was Steve and Carrie stuck up her middle finger at him. He pushed open the passenger side door. Carrie crawled into the back seat and pulled me with her. Two-Bit got in the front seat and slammed the door.
"Where we going?" I asked curiously. Steve shrugged and Carrie stared out the window. We turned and drove past The Dingo where, even in the middle of winter, was still jam packed with hoods and greasers. We drove past the DX and I noticed a familar shape of a teenage boy there. Steve turned suddenly into the gas station and slammed on the breaks. I jumped out of the car to everyone else's confusion.
I heard Two-Bit and Carrie whispering in the car, but Steve had noticed the boy too. He told them who they thought he was and I knew Two-Bit would drop it. Carrie, however, had no idea who he was but shut her mouth after a look Steve gave her.
I was ignoring them as best I could and tapped the boy on the shoulder. He had golden brown hair and was tall and thin. He was really familiar. Raising an eyebrow, I muttered, "Sodapop?"
A/N: mmmkay I know it's short and I'm sorry but I had stop it here. Definately. R+R please!
