• Dallas' POV •

"Ahh the beach. Very relaxing." Says Ponyboy as he breathes in the beach air. "Kinda miss it to be honest." I said.

Me and the gang thought it was a good idea to go to the beach together. It's been a while since we had a little fun time all together. So, why the hell not?

We put out a big beach mat and got into our swims suits. Darry just lays down on his chair like a dad or somethin. The rest of us jumps in the water, splashing each other.

I got bored from swimming after a while and so did Sodapop so we both got out the water to relax on our beach mat. I laid down with my sunglasses on, taking the sun in while Sodapop sat next to me, watching the boys and makin sure no one gets hurt.

"Holy shit." Said Sodapop, suddenly. "What's up?" I asked, trying to relax.

"Ain't that Y/n? Our neighbor?" He said, looking away. I turn to our left. "I ain't never seen her before but she's pretty good lookin'." I said.

"Oh sure you have! She's Bucks sister, remember? You asked Buck if you could get with her and he punched you in the face?" Said Sodapop. Then it finally clicked to me who that girl lying on a chair with shorts and a tank top on. Y/n Merril.

"What is she doing here? I barely even see her outside her house." He said.

"Why not?" I said, as I eye her up and down from afar.

"Well, I got no idea what she does but all I know is that she's outta town a bunch." Said Soda. "How do you know that? You talk to her?" I ask

"Nah, her mom comes by the house givin' some gifts and all that. She likes to tell stories." He said as he's standing up from lying down in the sand.

I was lookin' at her for quite a while. Wondering if I should go up to her. I don't even know if she remembers who I am. Should I say hi? maybe Sodapop should do it first.

"Hey Soda, you think you could get me goin with her?" I ask. "Why don't ya go there by your lonesome? You're good at talkin to broads." He said, looking back at the boys in the water.

"Nah man, I don't think she remembers me. Just come up with me or somethin'." I said, nudging him slightly.

"Nah man, Darry's gonna kick my butt if I oughta take my eyes of these boys. I'm sure she remembers you man, just go up to her." He said, not able to face me since his eyes were locked onto the boys.

I hesitated for a second and looked back at Y/n. She's lookin real good under the sun with her sunglasses on. Eventually I gave in. I huffed, putting my sunglasses in my head and getting up to go walk to her.

As I walked up to her, I has a bunch of thoughts runnin through my head. I wonder if she's single. Does she remember me? Did Buck tell her I tried to get with her?

I finally got next to her.

"Hey, you all alone?" I said. She was quiet for a second and then she turns to look at me. "I'm with my girls. What brings you here?" She said with a monotone voice.

"Just saw you from over there. I've seen you before." I said. "I'm-" she cuts me off.

"You're Dallas Winston." She says as she sits up.
