Ophelia Winston An Outsiders Fanfic

Ophelia POV
I must have slept in pretty late. I know this because I was woken up to Twobit and Steve arguing about what to watch.
Twobit wanted Micky, no surprise there. Steve wanted to watch this dumb beach movie. That's a surprise.
I walk over to the couch and plop down between Johnny and Pony. "Ophelia it's noon, how's you sleep that long" Pony asks.
"Simple, it's summer" I explain. But not really a good explanation, it's to early for that. Well to early for me. "She's got a point" Soda says with a movie star smile.
"Thank you" I say. Johnny laughs. "Ophelia want me to make you some eggs?" I hear a voice come from the kitchen. It was Darry, "Yes please."
Soon the house is filled with the smell of eggs cooking. Eggs don't take that long to cook so I'm eating them shortly. I thank Darry and watch tv. We decided on Mickey..... again.
Around 1:30 I finally decide to get ready. I walk to my room and get dressed. I am wearing jeans and just a plain t-shirt. I throw on my converses and brush my hair and teeth.
I believe I'm ready so I hang around until it's time to go get Dally. "Excited?" Johnny asked. I nod "How could you tell" I ask. "You always bounce your foot when you're waiting, usually it happens when you're excited too." Johnny explains. I am happy he pays that much attention.
"Yeah you're exactly correct on that one." I say with a proud smile. Darry calls for us to get in the truck to get Dally.
Only Darry, Johnny and I go. The ride was even shorter then the walk. I couldn't sit still. Johnny smiled at this.
We walked into the cooler. The front desk lady asked Darry some questions.
"Ophelia, do you think Dally is gonna be more tough?" Johnny asked me. "He's always tough, why would this make him more" I ask
"Well do you think because he's served more time it will harden him more" Johnny asked looking straight ahead.
"Maybe but I think he'll still have his soften towards us" I say placing a hand on Johnny's shoulder while doing so. Johnny then looks at me "I hope you're right" I smile "I mostly always am"
Dally then walks out of the room holding a bag of the things he had on him when he entered. He runs to me and hugs me tightly. But not suffocating me. It was one of those reassuring hugs. The ones that can make up for anything.
He pulls away and just hugs me again. "Hi Dal" I say smiling. "Hey kid sister" he says.
"Come on the gangs waiting" Darry says with a chuckle. "Aren't they used to me in the cooler" Dally says joking around. "Maybe" Johnny says.
Dally and Johnny hug, we exit the cooler. On the way back to the Curtis house we catch up. Dally tells us a story about how when he was in there he got in many fights.
We pulled into the driveway and walked in. The gang was happy to see Dallas. "Let's go to the Dingo" Steve suggests. "I'm down" Twobit says and we all agree.
I run to my room and get ready. Ponyboy is confused why I am getting ready again today so I just tell him "I don't want to get food on that shirt"
We decided to walk to the Dingo. Johnny and Dallas were walking next to each other talking about the cooler. Johnnycakes was fascinated.
Pony and I ended up walking next to one another. He was real close to me but I didn't mind.
I freeze when I see a red mustang. "Ophelia what's wrong" Ponyboy asked me.
"Socs" I just say, flat with no emotion. I've been jumped a few dozen times but I never get used to it. Dally said if I did I'd get to hard and that'll scare him.
A group of eight socs get out of the mustang. Great one for each of us. "Oh god" Sodapop says.
"We can take em" Twobit says. "I wanted to hunt some action and it just came up to me" Dally says.
