We're Just Best Friends| Darry Curtis

Old Times

"Not me, I'm going to go home and rest, boss called and said he had work for us tomorrow" Darry said with a yawn.

" Darry when is the last time you had some actual fun?" I say with a pout.

" I don't need fun, I need work, work is what keeps a house for all you in imbeciles to sleep in", he said with a chuckle.

" You should come with us, I'll make sure to have you home before your ✨wittle bedtwime✨" I laugh out in a baby voice.

"Fine, but I'm not staying long", he says with a grunt. The gang cheers and hollers as the night shift comes in (the Dingo is 24hours) earning disapproving looks from my co-workers. I clock out and everyone squeezes into my T-Bird. damn how did everyone fit in here ? We pull up to the drive in and I decide to be a nice person today and treat the gang by actually paying for them to get into the Nightly Double instead of all of us crawling through the hole in the fence like we usually do.

I park my car infront of the big screen, Two and Dally get out immediately probably going to "hunt some action",which is most likely them just annoying soc girls or hanging out with Tim shepherds gang. "Alright me and superdope are getting snacks what do y'all want?" I ask the remaining boys. They all tell me what they want, I force Darry out of the car and we walk up to the concession stand, picking out the things we want. As I begin to search in my bag for the money to pay for the snacks, Darry pulls out his wallet and hands the moneys to the cashier first. " Hey, I was gonna pay for those, you need to save your money "I say shaking my head.
"I kno-", Darry gets interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Darrel Curtis is that you!!!" I recognize that annoying ass voice from anywhere and the site of her confirmed it. It was Kelsey Sanders, the most popular greaser from high school. the sluttiest on too
"Oh, hi Kelsey long time no see, how have you been?"
"I've been great, you"
" I've been pretty ok myself, you remember Delilah right?" Darry said gesturing towards me.
"Yea I remember her" she said slightly rolling her eyes. She never really liked me, she always had a thing for Darry, and felt like me and Darry were to close. She thought i was gonna steal him from her. That Bitch.
I grunted loudly showing my impatience with their conversation. Earning myself another eye roll, wow 2 in one night, I'm on a roll. "Well yea, hey I gotta go, but we should catch up some time, let's say drinks Friday night at Bucks bar" she said we a fake innocent smile.
"Yea, sure I'll see you then" Darry said with a genuine smile.

"So you are really gonna have drinks with the town whore, Dar?" I spit out on the walk back to my car,
"Wow, Lilah you really must not like her" he said with a chuckle "people change you know"
"Yea but not her, once a whore always a whore" I mutter under my breath getting back in the front seat of my car, handing out the cokes and popcorn to everyone.

     After about 30 mins of watching one of those horrible beach movies, I notice Darry looking very uninterested and noticed that sometime during the movie Steve and Soda had just disappeared. Damn they have got to stop doing that. Ponyboy and Johnny were still in the backseat talking about books. "Hey guys, I'm going to walk Darry home, when the goon squad comes back tell them, me and Darry left and they can drive my car back, and it better arrive in ONE PIECE." I say turning around to pony and Johnny.
"Sure thing" pony said with a smirk.
"D...D?" Johnny stutters out.
"Yes sweetheart?" I say looking at him
" You guy's are gonna walk alone? What about sss..socs? he says with fear in his voice.
"Well it's still pretty early and no ones gonna try to hurt a Winston and THE Superman, but we'll still be extra careful" I say giving him a slight smile. He smiled back. "Alrighty, let's go Darebear, and remember what I said about my CAR!!!" I shout while I getting out of the car. Darry and I start walking out of the drive in, towards the Curtis house.
"Hey Lilah, I just know you would be a great mom some day, seeing how you treat Johnny, the whole gang really." Darry said looking at me with a smile
"Really Dar?, I figure your more of the parenting type" I smile back
"I-
"Hey GREASERS!!!"
We turn to see a blue mustang rolling toward us, they stop, 5 socs jump out. We are outnumbered, but that doesn't scare us, we stand strong looking at the ugly rich trash piling out of the car. "Well if it isn't the girl Winston and Old man Curtis?" Bob slurs, obviously drunk. Let's just say, me and Bob, aren't the best of friends and neither is my fist and his face after what he did to Johnny.
"Hey, Randy how do you think Dallas would feel about us showing his big sis a REAL good time?", they all laugh drunkenly. Bob and his sidekick Randy start walking towards me, the others towards Darry. I feel for my blade in my pocket, pulling it out behind my back. I give Darry the wink and the show begins.
