In the last past hour I figured out knew thing: There was a Beautiful girl who is known for being a greaser that could be a socs, she working at the Dx, and I might be in love with her. I decided to spend the whole day at the Dx today, knowing she would be there. I stayed there with Johnny and sat on the hood of cars while Steve worked on it. I often found myself staring at her like a stocker. Once she caught me staring at her and it was really embarrassing, but she just smiled. I caught Soda Staring at her to when she was taking soda bottles into the storage room
"Hey, Johnny," I asked, "Do you think I have a shot with her?"
Johnny looked at me studying my expression before he answered. Then he laughed. He laughed pretty loud and that scared me.
"You like Yvette?"
"Maybe what's wrong with that?"
"Yvette, you like her! Let me tell you this Ponyboy, Yvette is a new kind of girl. She doesn't like guys like you think. She has to analyze them first. She might even fall for Soda or Darry, but she would probably kill Dally if he ever stepped out of line around her. Maybe she would go for you, but I'm betting mainly on Soda because he closer to her age."
"She's closer to Soda's age? She looks a good 15. And how come you know her so well?"
"I met her before, I though she was cute, too. Actually she loves to give me hugs, I don't know why, it's actually really weird."
I looked over at her again and Soda stopped her to talk. She seemed scared or nervous, but she quickly turned and walked off in a different direction leaving Soda standing there dumb founded. I quickly jumped of the hood of the car hitting Steve in the head. I forgot he was under there.
"Ponyboy!" he yelled.
I ran hoping he wouldn't come after me. I walked up to Soda hoping he would tell me what just happened between Soda and Yvette.
"Man, I feel like I was just rejected," Soda said.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I don't know, I just said hi and asked her a question then she started stuttering and getting all nervous. Then she just ran away."
"What did you ask her?"
"I asked her what she was doing after work that was pretty much it."
Soda likes Yvette, too? That worried, I remembered what Johnny said about her maybe falling for Sodapop.
"She's new here and you can't go after people you jus met, Soda."
I lied to him. She probably liked Soda if she didn't she would've acted like that. She came back up the isles and when she saw Soda her smile faded and her cheeks went red. She managed a small smile toward Soda. Soda was blushing too. He had a small smile on his face. He was looking down a playing with his dumb. They didn't say anything for a while they just stood there.
"Soda?" she asked.
Soda's head popped up fast and he answered.
"Yes,"
"I was planning on hanging out with Two-bit tonight, but if you're not busy tomorrow I love to hang out with you."
Soda stood there stunned with a huge smile in his face. I looked back and forth between the two of them. I nudged Soda. He still didn't move.
"I'll take that as a yes, Sodapop," she smiled and ran off.
"Soda?" I asked.
He still stood there with that grin on his face. I decided to leave him. He'd snap out of it sooner or later. As soon as I walked out of the store and he yelled. It was a happy yell I hope. Then tell me why I wasn't so happy. I sat back on the truck next to Johnny. I forgot Steve was still under the car.
"Dammit, Ponyboy!"
Steve through a big screw at my head, and I fell off the car.
"You okay, Ponyboy?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," I lied.
I felt like someone hit be in the head with a screw, but only it feels like my heart was attacked. Yvette walked out of the Dx and ran towards me and Johnny.
"Johnny!" Johnny looked like he wanted to run. She practically tackled Johnny. She squeezed him as hard as she could, "Oh my Gosh Johnny I missed you so much! You still are as cute as ever!"
She kissed him on the cheek. He was red all over.
"Bye Ponyboy," She hugged me, too.
I was all ready red from her touching me, if she kisses me that would send my head flying. But she did kiss me on the cheek.
"How are you getting home?" Steve asked.
"Umm… Two-bit said something about Dally coming and picking me up," She answered.
Then we heard a honk and Dally pulled up in some body's truck.
"Yvette, hurry up!" Dally yelled.
She waved at up and ran off into Dally's car. I wonder if Dally would control himself.
"I hope Dally doesn't try anything," Johnny said.
"Why?"
"Because is if he does anything she would kill him."
"Yeah right, she's too sweet."
We waited for something to happen. Dally was rubbing his hand up and down her leg,
"No, Yvette is trained in the art of…"
Before Johnny finished his sentence Yvette hit Dally. I don't know how but her leg hit him right in the face. She got out of the car and stormed off in Two-bit's direction. I ran after her.
"Yvette?" I asked.
She turned around and she had a terrible scowl on her face. Her green eyes blazed with hatred. But that scowl quickly turned into a smile.
"Hey, Ponyboy! Do you know where Two-bit is?" She asked.
"He's probably at Dairy Queen," I answered.
"Good I'm starving; you wanna join me for lunch?"
I quickly shook my head. She grabbed my hand and we headed towards Dairy Queen.
I stared at her the whole way there. Her hair was pulled in to two pony tails and they where braided. Her hair bounced and it was so silky.
"You're hair…" I accidentally said.
"What about?" she asked.
"It's…tuff."
She smiled.
"Yours is pretty tuff, too."
I blushed again. I don't think I've ever blushed so much in a matter of two days. As soon as she saw Two-bit she let go of my hand and ran towards him.
"You're treating me to lunch, right?" she asked him.
"When do I not," Two-bit answered.
Yvette obviously loves Two-bit. They didn't look alike at all.
"Hey, Ponyboy come on!" Yvette called me over.
"You invited Ponyboy?" Two-bit asked.
"Got a problem with that, Cuz?"
I didn't realize it, but Two-bit and Yvette were cousins. They look like they were really close. Yvette called me over again and I hurried to get there with them.
"Where's Dally?" Two-bit asked.
"Yvette kind of almost killed him," I answered.
"You are so violent, Yvette."
"It wasn't intentional he was upsetting me," Yvette said.
"I suggest you watch it with that kung-fu stuff," Two-bit said.
Kung-fu. That really scared me. I guess I should know now not to mess with her. But still behind that sweet innocent face could be a really scary killer.
