The new girl in the gang

Part 26

Sodas POV

I had no idea Penelope was coming home, is it bad I forgot about her? Yes it is but still I mean how was I supposed to remember, once I saw her in the house I kinda jumped over the couch and football tackled her. She didn't seem to mind.

Soon she leaves to get Rose, we all looked shocked, "Rose knew she was coming today." Johnny says, "she's been counting forever." He continues, "any one know, beside her know?" Everyone shakes their heads, "this is going to look bad on us." I says, "well let's get the cake out." Darry says, as he grabs the cake form the fridge.

Half an hour later Penelope comes home with Rose in her arms, "shh, she went to Bobs to get me." Penelope says, "what did he do when he saw her?" I ask worried, "he says she asked if I was there, when he said no she was about to leave until he asked if he should walk her home. She freaked out and Liv had to convince her to come inside. She fell asleep as soon as she sat on the couch." Penelope says, "that's new for Bob." Steve scoffs, Penelope shoots daggers at him.

I heard Steve mumble something as Penelope protecting her boyfriend, I really hope Penelope still single. She so nice and caring, she's beautiful inside and out.

"Anyway we got the cake out." Darry says breaking the silence, "thanks." Penelope says as she places Rose on the couch, she moves to get cake, "I'm out." Steve says, leaving with an echo of byes all around. "So how was it with the socs?" I ask, hopping I sound nice and she forgets about the comments made earlier and us forgetting about her.

She sighs and takes a bite of cake, "actually not that bad, I only got hit once but homeschooling taught me I'm stupid and, I made a friend that's not an annoying stinky teenage boy." She laughs at her own joke, "why'd he hit you?" Dally asks anger in his voice, "I was talking to you guys, and it was nothing he said sorry after words and it really wasn't anything.." I could tell she stoped herself form saying something else.

Peps POV

I was going to say how it was nothing compared to what dad did, but decided not to. "Did you get to keep the clothes?" Darry asks, "yeah, they all look so gorgeous, I can't wait to wear them." I say, it's true I'm never much of a dress girl but those things are actually not to bad, "I never knew you were a dress girl." Two  says, "well let's just say Bob didn't give me the boys clothes." I says smiling, "it was once and because they were cheaper." Dally say on a mix of laughter but trying to act mad, "oh tell me?" Two says, "see when we were younger once Dally took me to get new clothes and when we walked in he brought me to the boys aisle, and pulled out the cheapest clothes, he says it was cause they were cheap I say it was cause they were big on me and some how happened to fit him." I say laughing.

"Big old Dally wearing his sisters shirts." Two says laughing until Dally pulls the back of his shirt in the kitchen. I take anther bite of cake and Two walks out, "see ya." He says and walks out the front door slamming behind him. "Dally!" I say knowing he did something to make to leave.

I told them about life as a soc, they all seemed interested, what I didn't mention was while they were watching Mickey around 11 I was slipping money in the jar Darry always kept it in. Bob gave me 100 dollars which is a lot, so I decided to give Darry 50 of that. He works so hard for his family I feel so bad, "hey Penelope what are you doing?" Soda says walking in, I quickly acted like I was getting a cup, "trying to grow." I joke, he gets the cup for me and when he hands it to me out hands to him a little.

"Come on Penelope let's get home." I hear Dally call, "sorry Soda but looks like you got to put it back." I say as I walk out the kitchen, "coming, see you all tomorrow." I say as I hurry after Dally who had started out the door.

After walking in silence for awhile he says, "so in all honesty, was soc life better than greaser life?" He asks, I had to think about my answer, "it depends, it was nice to have money and get to pay to go to the movies, but I didn't like not knowing where Bob or Liv was half the time. Like here we announce that we're going home, there they just walk out the door." I say, he nods, "but if you had to chose one?" He says pushing an answer out of me, "what you got some hidden money somewhere?" I say jokey, he looks almost as if he did, "greaser life." I say giving him a straight answer. 

"Penelope, I~I.." he starts, "I never knew Dallas Winston  to studer." He looks at his feet, "I won some money off some rich people awhile back, 300 dollars to be exact." I stare at him shocked, "really?" I ask, he nods "I don't know what do to with it, but a house?" I'm to shocked to think, "let's sleep on this idea." I say as we walk up the driveway to Bucks.

Once I take off my shoes I fall asleep insanely, I didn't even have time to notice the uncomfortable bed compared to the one I slept in for a year. I know that sounds rude, but the socs beds are way more comfortable and this bed was well sleep able.

The next morning Dally wakes me by shaking me up, "I'm up, I'm up." I say sitting straight up, "what time is it?" I ask, "Dallas?" I look around and he's not there, but I still feel the tingling of being shook awake. This is weird, "Dallas?" I say again with more urgency in my voice. I know someone shook me awake, I'm peering around the room until I see him hissing in a conner. "I see you." I sigh and look at the clock, "how'd you know it was me?" Dallas asks, "because I just knew." I respond, I'm not sure how I knew it was him, "I had to make sure you hadn't gone soft and weak." He says as if that makes it just able to wake me up in the dead of night.

I fall back asleep quickly.
