The next day as Pony and I walked home from the movie house, we ran into Soda at DX. Pony had to get a Pepsi . It was unusual that Sandy wasn't there like she always is.
"Hey Soda," I said. "Where's Sandy?"
"She went to her friend Dana's birthday party last night. I guess she is really hung-over."
"You weren't invited?" I asked.
"She said it was just going to be girls She didn't want me to feel left out," Soda replied. "Where were you last night? Sure Two-Bit told ya 'bout the football game we had last night. I know you love football."
"I had a ton of chores to do last night. My mother made me miss football."
"Well that really sucks. It would've been great if you were there," he said smiling. All I could do was giggle a little and look back into his sparkling blue eyes.
At that moment, Pony walked out of DX and sees us. "Whoa. What's happenin' here? Love connection?"
We all laughed as Pony and I started walking home. Soda waved, and I waved back.
I sure hope so, I thought.
