Remarkable // The Outsiders

Chapter 1

I sat on the bleachers all alone. I was waiting for Soda to get back but I knew that would take a while with all the girls that always parade around him. I was at Pony's track meet. They started the race and immediately Pony took the lead.

"Go Pony Go!"
I scream as he is seconds away from victory. He finally wins and I cheer. Soda was my best friend I met him when my car broke down and I took it to the DX. I met Pony when Soda invited me for dinner. I also met Darry and they were all sweet boys. I never met their Gang though. I always wanted to but Soda thought they would flirt with me. Especially Dallas Winston. I was a very pretty girl. I had long brown hair with caramelish blonde ends. I had hazel eyes that could be seen for miles. I was very tan just naturally. I wore my high waisted skinny jeans with a white lace crop top. I had my red converse tied neatly like always. I had my hair pulled back in a curly ponytail and my make up done light. Soda finally returned.

"Nice to see you again"
I said mocking him. He laughed.

"Sorry but you know the girls around here"
He said. He saw my amused look.

"So what did I miss?"
He asked.

"Well Pony just won the 5 meter"
I said. He smiled.

"That's my boy"
He said.

"I feel bad Darry couldn't make it for the first meet he had to work late again were real behind on bills"
Soda said. I nodded.

"I'm sure he understands"
I said.

"Just like you need to understand being short isn't that bad"
He said. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. Of course he brought in the number one thing about me I hate.

"I honestly don't I understand I'm 16 and still 5"3" what natural human being is sixteen years old and that short. I mean Pony and 14 years old and he is way taller than me"
I said. He laughed and gave me a side hug.

"Ah you know I was just messing with ya kid"
He said. I just ignored him trying to act still upset.

"I know your just playing"
He said. I tried not to laugh so I sucked my lips in. He poked my side and I let out a breath. I was to ticklish for my own good. He noticed my gasp for a breath and kept tickling me. I tried not to scream but I couldn't help it and we soon got yelled at to stop because people yelling. Soon I saw the famous Dallas Winston and a tall boy with tan skin and shaggy jet black hair with big dark brown eyes that were so beautiful you could get lost in them.

"Hey guys"
Soda greeted them. I smiled at them shading my eyes from the sun.

"Gwen this is Johnny and Dallas"
Soda said.

"Hi"
I said shaking their hands. Dallas sat down next to me putting his arm over my shoulder.

"Well hey there baby"
He said. I pushed his arm off.

"Oh lay off Dall"
Soda said. Dall chuckled to himself and let me be. I saw Johnny glancing at me but whenever I looked back he turned away blushing hard.

"Hey Gwen were heading to the Dingo tonight to get some dancing in you wanna join us?"
Soda asked.

"Of course"
I said smiling. He smiled in return and soon the meet was over. Pony won all the races he was in and we went down to go see him.

"Good job Pony"
I said hugging him. He laughed running his hand through his hair.

"Thanks"
He said while Soda pulled him into a hug. Dally patted his back and Johnny did the stupid bro hug thing.

"Nice job man"
Johnny said. Pony smiled then frowned.

"Where's Darry?"
He asked.

"Oh Pone Darry had to work another shift tonight I'm sorry were behind on bills and he promised he would get here as soon as he could"
Soda answered. He nodded.

"Pony!"
We heard someone yell off in the distance. We turned and saw Darry. Pony smiled and ran to him. Darry engulfed him in a hug.

"I'm so sorry Pony I really wanted to be here"
He said apologizing. Pony just hugged tighter.

"It's okay"
Pony said.

"How many races you win?"
Darry asked.

"All three I participated in"
Pony answered proud. Darry smiled.

"Good job Pony"
He said.

"Steve tried to get here but he was already covering Sodas shift at the DX so he could be here and Two Bit I honestly think he got distracted by Mickey and is still sitting on your couch"
Dally said. Pony laughed.

"It's okay I have tons of other meets you guys can come too"
He said smiling. Soda put his arm on top of my head using it as an arm rest as we walked to the car. I fake coughed and he grew and evil smirk.

"I'm not an arm rest"
I said. He just laughed.

"You are now"
He said. I scoffed and pushed him off of me. He laughed as I pushed him forward. He was about to do the stop walking and me run into you thing but I have known him long enough to be prepared for that. He stopped and I hopped on his back. He laughed.

"I'm not that gullible"
I said to him as the boys laughed at how he just got played. He set me down and Darry side hugged me kissing the top of my head.

"Nice to see you again Gwen"
He said. I smiled.

"It's nice to see you too Darry"
I said. He smiled then looked at Pony.

"So Pony what do you think about going to the Dingo tonight for a little celebration"
Darry said. Pony grew a giant smile.

"That would be awesome, is everyone going?"
He asked. Darry nodded and he jumped up with happiness. We laughed getting into the truck. Darry dropped me and Soda off at my place we would walk there. We went up to my room. Soda was trying to help me pick an outfit but I honestly didn't know what to wear so I laid on my bed frustrated.

"How about this?"
Soda asked. I turned to see him holding my white sweater that shows of my shoulders and neck with my red and white striped skirt.

"This would match your converse"
He said sheepishly. I just laughed and took it from him.

"You know me to well Soda"
I said. He laughed sitting on bed as I went into the bathroom to change. I took my hair down and straightened it and put bright red lipstick on. I then put on the outfit and was amazed at how great it looked. I walked out.

"See you look amazing"
Soda said as we walked downstairs.

"Oh hush"
I said. He just laughed and we started walking to his place. Once we got their I met Two Bit for the first time. He was defiantly going to be a good friend he just cracked me up. We all made our way to the dingo and the music was already blasting. We smiled and laughed as we entered. I realized Johnny didn't really talk in a while. I walked up to him.

"I don't think we properly met yet"
I said. He just smiled.

"I'm Johnny"
He said. I smiled.

"I'm Gwen"
I said. Then 'Where Did Our Love Go by The Supremes' turned on.

"Oh my gosh this is one of my favorites"
I squealed. Johnny smiled at me.

"C'mon"
I said grabbing his hand and running him to the dance floor.

"I-I don't dance"
He said.

"Oh come on just try it"
I said grabbing his hands. I placed one on my waist and the other in my other hand.

"Now just move your feet with the music"
I said. He gave me a worried smile and I just returned an it's okay smile. We finished the song.

"See you could do it"
I said. He smiled at me.

"Your something different Gwen"
He said. I was about to ask him what that means but then 'My Girl by The Temptations' turned on and I knew it was Sodas favorite. He grabbed me and pulled me out onto the dance floor. I gave him a look as he smiled sheepishly. He sang with the words.

"Well I guess you say what can make me feel this way, My girl. Talkin about My girl. My girl"
He sang. I laughed as he danced me around having the greatest time. Soon after many dances with the guys they dropped me off at home. I smiled and waved to them.

"See ya tomorrow?"
Soda asked.

"Possibly"
I stated before disappearing into the house.
