The Next Day

I was sitting on my front porch, when Angie came over, taking the space beside me. I wasn't use to hanging out with the other girls, but she didn't seem to care about my confused look, "It's only eight in the morning, what are you doing here?"

"Mom, and Dad, are fighting again so I decided to go for a walk, then I saw you sitting alone and thought I would join you," She answered, handing me one of the donuts, which she must had gotten from the corner donut shop. "It's my favorite, already had three of them."

I just nodded, as I started eating the free donut, than looked at her. She had long blonde hair, green eyes, and pale skin. She was taller than me, but a little more built, "You can always crash at my place, when your parents start to fight." I don't know where that came from.

"Hey, that's real nice of you, Rosa, she never let me sleep over," She looked down at her lap, "I never thought you were better than us, or that we were better than you, we were just there you know."

"You sound like Pony," I laughed, as I got to my feet, when I heard movement from inside my house. I looked at the other girl, who was about to walk away, and smiled at her, "I am making waffles with bacon, you're more than welcome to hang out."

She glanced towards her house, when there was a screen door slam shut, and than shook her head, "I need to go check on my mom, and make sure she's alright, thanks though Scarlet."

"Anytime," I watched as she hurried towards her house, as her dads car drove passed my house. I never realize how lucky I am, that my dad doesn't hit us, unless my brother deserves it of course. But he always give my brother money, because he feels guilty.

"Good morning, Babe."

I turned around to see my boyfriend in a pair of my dads jeans, and a white t-shirt, his curly hair going all directions. "Good morning."

He stepped onto the porch, and took a hold of my hand, "I am going to go to my house tonight, and get some clothes with your brother, and Soda. Your old man said I could stay as long as I needed to."

My brother came onto the porch too, and walked over to my boyfriends car, "Randy, and I, are going to get some donuts for breakfast, so you don't need to cook today."

"I told Steve, that he could drive my car, you want to come with us?" My boyfriend asked, as he made his way to his car, and tossed my brother his keys.

I was still wearing my pajamas, which I had just realized, and blushed as I hurried into the house. "NO THANKS!" I could hear my brother explain to my boyfriend, and the two of them laughing, as I hurried into my room. 'My boyfriend just saw me in my pajamas, and pigtails.'

This is going to get some getting use to...

Thirty minuted later I came out of my room, wearing a pair of blue jeans, with one of my moms old floral blouses. I had slipped on my white sandles, and put a white head band in my hair, before joining my dad, brother, and Randy in the kitchen. I leaned over and kissed my dads cheek, before sitting down in my usual spot.

My must had been told what happened earlier, because he was smiling knowingly at me, as he passed a cup of juice to me, "So Randy saw you in your Snoopy pajamas?"

I just nodded, as I took a drink of my juice, and looked at my brother, "How did you feel driving Randy's car?"

"His car is Tuff," He answered, taking a bite of his bearclaw, followed by his milk.

"You're brother thinks I should put flames on the side," My boyfriend explained, as he reached for my hand, "I told him no thank you though."

"I like your car just as it is," I smiled as my brother groaned, as I finished my powdered donut, and looked at my dad, "So Randy, he's staying here for now?"

"Yep, and he's going to work at the DX with Steve, after school and on the weekend," My dad answered, as my boyfriend nodded his head, "He said he put his car together himself, one piece at a time. I could use another guy, who knows there way around the car."

"I figured since my old man kicked me out, that I most likely won't be getting allowance anymore, so I figured getting a job was a good idea." He had a large smile, as he went on explaining to me, about starting his new job.

"I work the front desk on the weekends, so I will get a front seat view, when all the girls come over to flirt with you guys," I teased, as I stood up to clean up the table, before going into the living room, "Are you guys ready, or what?"

"Randy, today is your first day," My dad explained, as everyone started to finish getting ready, not that they needed to but I guess there hair needed combed.

My dad looked at me, as he stood by the front door, "So are you riding with me, or that boyfriend of yours?"

I got to my feet, and jumped onto my dads back, and smiled as my brother, and boyfriend came out of the room, "I'm riding to work with dad, you boys ride together."

Homecoming Night

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, as I wear my moms prom dress, "Thanks dad." The dress had sheer peach long sleaves, with a flowy skirt that came to my knees, compliment by a pair of white sandals, and my moms pearl necklace. I had put half my hair up in a loose french twist, and put on my pink lipstick.

My dad leaned against my doorway, and smiled as he stared at me, with a tear in his eye, "You look just like your mother, baby."

"I always wanted to wear this dress, thank you for letting me dad," I grabbed my clutch, and came to stand in front of him, "Are you going to be alright tonight?"

My dad just wrapped his arm around me, and lead me to where my brother, Angie, Pony, and Randy were waiting outside. My brother was meeting his date at her house. Pony had asked Angie to homecoming, after the two got to talking.

Randy's eyes widened, as I stepped off of the porch, and made my way to where he was standing. He reached out his hand, and smiled at me, "You're the most beautiful girl in our school," he kissed my cheek, before going to his car, and opening the door.

"You look great Scarlet," Angie whispered, was helped into the back of the car by pony, before he got in after her.

"You look great too, Angie," I smiled as I took my seat in the front.

"You look great, Sis," My brother was going to drive dads car with Soda, and they were going to pick up there own dates.

I turned in my seat to face my date, and smiled at the suite he was wearing, which was a dark navy blue, with a light blue collard shirt, and a navy blue tie. Pony was wearing a brown suite, which looked a little big on him, but I thought they both looked great. "Aren't we a couple of lucky girls, to have such handsome dates?"

My boyfriend smiled at me, as he rested a hand on my knee, "We're the lucky ones, you girls look incredible." He pulled into the schools parking lot, where we could see groups broken up, all through out the parking lot. He parked into his spot, and than helped me out of my side, so the other couple could get out. He pulled me into his arms, and brought his lips to mine, in a very passionate kiss, "You know I actually look forward to school, because I can kiss you like that all the time," he admitted, as the four of us started to go towards the gymnasium.

Angie, and I, were in the bathroom fixing out make up, when Martha, and Cherry came up behind. She turned to look at the girls, as I ignored them, "Your dresses look nice, Cherry, Martha."

Martha made a face at her, befor putting on a face smile, as she looked at me, "It's to bad that you won't be Queen, when Bobby, is announced the homecoming king."

"I don't care about being Queen," My shelf has enough crap on it, doesn't need a tiara, and sash." I explained, before taking my friend by the hand, and starting to leave the restroom.

Martha grabbed me by the arm, and spun me around before slapping me across the face, "It's your fault that he got kicked out of his house, and you don't even care." She took a step back, as her friend exited the bathroom, not wanting any part of her snobby friends behavior.

I put a hand on Angie, so she wouldn't attack the other girl, as I held my sore cheek in my hand. I sighed as I noticed a bruise forming, than looked at my friend, "Can I please borrow you compact, I want to look nice for my date," I turned to look at the now scare Soc girl, and shook my head, "I am not going to fight you, and make you look like trash for the Homecoming Court picture," after I was done, I took my friend by the hand, and lead us back to the dance leaving Martha alone.

Cherry hurried over to me, and handed me an ice pack, as she sighed, "Martha, she can be a bit of a snob, but you already know that. We're only friends because our moms are friends," she brought out her own compact, and started to cover my face, "We're the same skin tone."

Randy hurried over to us, and knelt down in front of me, when he noticed the slightly visible bruise on my face, "What happened, Baby?" He sat beside me on the bleacher, and looked at the redhead. "Cherry?"

"Martha was trying to start something, and slapped Scarlet across the face, I hurried and went to get her this ice pack," She put the compact back into her clutch, and stood to her own feet, "I need to go find my date, good luck you guys."

I looked at my own mirror, and noticed you could hardly see the bruise, and smiled at my boyfriend, "That's why I voted for Cherry, so she would become Homecoming Queen."

Randy spotted his ex leaving the bathroom, and started to walked towards her, until I reached for his hand. He looked at me confused, "She had no right to hurt you."

"Didn't she?" I asked, raising my brow challenging him.

"No she didn't, she broke up with me," He answered, as he took my hand more formally in his, and lead me to where some of the students were dancing. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and smiled as I placed mine on his shoulders, "I love you."

I smiled as I stood on my tip toes, and brought my lips to his, "I love you too."

My brother pretended to wave, as he walked around the Curtis living room, wearing my homecoming Queen crown, "I will like to thank all of you, who voted for me?"

Soda was wearing Randy's crown, as the two of them pretended to be a couple, making the rest of the room laugh, "I was born to be a King."

I smiled, as my brother set the crown back on my head, and sat down beside me, "Can't believe a Greaser became Queen, now that's tuff."

Soda kept his the crown on, and sat beside his friend, "I am so glad I was at the dance, otherwise I never would had believed it."

Pony had his arm around Angie, as he laughed at his brother, "Did you hear how loud Martha screamed, when she learned you were the Queen, she looked like she wanted to hit you."

"She already did remember?" Angie reminded, as she looked at me, "You two looked great up there, and I better get a picture."

"My dad wants to hang a picture at the DX," My brother explained, as he looked to where TwoBit was sitting, with a cake in front of her, "Going to share?"

I just crawled next to my friend, and took a handful, as I watched Mickey Mouse with him, "How's it going, Two Bit?"

"Not too bad, got my beer and cake, and am sitting beside the Homecoming Queen," He answered with a smiled, "And Mickey is on."

I smiled as I walked back over to where my boyfriend was sitting, and sat on his lap, "Darry, he makes the best chocolate cakes," I explained as I brought my cake filled hand to his mouth, so he was able to taste it, "What do you think?"

"Not as good as your Strawberry cake," He answered, kissing my cheek as he wrapped his arms around my waist, allowing me to finish feeding the rest to him, "I want to take you somewhere tomorrow, are you up for a road trip? I already asked your dad, if we could have the day off."

"I would love to go on a road trip with you, just as long as we're back for dinner," I agreed, standing to my feet and helping his to his, I looked at my brother, "Are you coming home tonight, or sleeping over here?"

"I'm going to crash here," My brother answered, throwing his legs over Soda.

I looked at Angie, who was going to sleep over, and reached out my other hand, "Are you ready to go?"

"Randy, you can crash here tonight to, I mean if you want to." Soda offered, pointing to the vacant couch.

I smiled at my friend, as I gently shoved my boyfriend back onto the couch, and gave him a quick kiss, "See you tomorrow." I lead Angie out the back door of the kitchen, and we hurried to my house.

I love hanging out with friends...
