Well, I'm writing this before school and hopefully can get it posted after school if I finish it. R&R PLEASE!! Next chapter, Bri's coming to school:)
Thank God it was the weekend. Finally, I could get my mind on something else. Johnny and Dally and I decided to go for a walk around town to go find something to do. Soda and Steve said they'd come searching for us later.
"Hey, hey, hey Ponyboy, why you looking so blue?" Dally asked. He seemed in a really good mood for some odd reason. Probably because he just got a new girlfriend that he'd been wanting for a long time. Not like Dally, but that's okay.
I looked at him. "I look 'blue'?" I asked kind of confused.
Johnny nodded.
"Yeah, kid, you do," Dally said, giving me a kind of glare.
"It's noth-" I began but heard some familiar voices coming from the parking lot of one of the dime stores. I looked at Dally and Johnny who were looking at me. Soda and Steve.
We turned into the parking lot. I think we found what we were going to do that day.
"SODAPOP! STEVE!" Dally called to them. Steve, Soda, and a couple of other guys immediately turned around. The guys got up and glared at Dally. Looked like they had a run in with him before.
"Hey guys," Soda said jumping off the hood of a car. "Haven't found anything to do?"
"Nah, we were looking, but then we heard your fucking big mouth." Dally grinned recklessly.
"Yeah, 'cuz we got some awesome news," one of the guys piped up. He looked fairly like Steve.
"And what's that, Ricky?" Dally asked sarcastically, leaning back against the car. Me and Johnny just stood there and watched.
"New girl," Ricky said coolly.
"Okay…?" Dally went on.
"Soc girl," the other guy hissed.
"And how do you know this?" Dally asked smoothly. "It's not like you ever go on that side of town. And what new girl goes around town…if she's new?"
"Cool it Winston," Ricky snapped, "And it just so happens that my fucking cousin is a Soc and she's her neighbor. She saw her dad or whatever come home with her. From what she said though, she's kinda geeky. Like with a tie and skirt and all."
"Not interested," Dally said, like he ended the matter.
I eyed Johnny who actually seemed kind of interested.
"Yeah? Well some might be interested," a third guy said, "I'd like to get some fresh blood."
"I'm good for now," Dally said grinning.
"Yeah, you just got a new girlfriend," Steve scoffed, smiling slightly.
"Your point Randle?"
"Eh, you'll be off with someone else soon enough."
Dally went to open his mouth but his eyes flashed. I seriously thought Dally was going to punch him but he grinned.
"Smartass."
"ANYWAYS!" Someone cut in. "About the new girl…Doesn't she look about in 9th grade?"
"Yeah," Ricky said kicking at dirt. "But young girls are…cool."
Dally busted out laughing. "Ninth grade?! Forget it!!" He nudged me. "Hey, but she'd be cool for you though!" He started laughing again.
I tried to bring a smile to my lips. Yeah, okay, Dally. Soda grinned at me.
"Well, the thought of a ninth grade virgin is cool and all, but now it's kind of freaking me out," Dally said, starting to walk away. "See y'all later." He looked at me and Johnny. "Let's go." We followed.
When we were out of ear shot Dally started laughing again. "Wow, that was a waste, eh, Mr. Puberty?!" He winked at me. "I'm sure you got something out of that talk back there!"
I saw Johnny bite his lip as his face turned red with suppressed laughter.
Puberty. Ha, real funny.
"Whatever," I grumbled and turned away. I could feel myself blush.
…

…
But that still didn't keep me from thinking of the new girl I didn't even know.
Whoo!! I got that chapter done!! Now on to the real fun stuff!! Review please:) I know, kind of a pointless chapter, but it's supposed to mean someone has seen Bri!
