We're Just Best Friends| Darry Curtis

Nice Girl

Darry's POV
Delilah gives me the wink, then at the same time she punches Bob knocking him out. While I start punching the other 3 Socs that are coming at me. I see one of the other Socs come up behind her. "Lilah watch out!!!", she turns around and sees the Soc coming at her, she takes her blade and stabs it into his arm then kicks him where the sun don't shine. I finish off the Two that were coming at me and Bob gets up running back to his car the others following close behind, they get back in their car and drive away.
"Hey dare are you okay?" Delilah says walking over to me
"Yea I'm fine what about you?
"Never been better, they thought we were gonna be scared of them. We got them pretty good , we make a good team" we both laugh and start our walk back home. When we arrive at my house, we walk in and Lilah takes a seat on the couch.
" Alright D I'm going to bed now i got work in the morning" I say yawning.
" Ok, I'm going to wait for the gang to comeback, and me and Dal will probably stay a Bucks tonight, Goodnight Darebear" she said with a smile.
"Goodnight D" I said walking back into my room. I threw on a old T- shirt and some
sweatpants  , and laid down on my bed.
  After about an hour of trying to fall sleep and failing, i tried to relax and clear my mind, but I couldn't. 1 person kept circling my mind. Delilah. I don't know why, but she was on my mind all night.

Delilah's POV
After Darry went to sleep I tried to relax and rest my eyes before the gang came back home causing chaos, but I couldn't. 1 person kept circling my mind. Darrel. I don't know why him and Kelseys "drink date" made me so upset but it did.

     The rest of the week went by pretty slow, me being focused on Friday and Saturday, my two off days. Everyone else doing whatever they do during the week. Soon enough it was Friday and I was getting ready in my room at bucks to go to the Curtis'. I threw on a white cropped tank top, some black ripped jeans, my black converse and my leather jacket of course. It was 85* outside but greasers didn't care, we wore our Jean and leather jackets no matter the temperature.
I leave my room making sure to talk to Buck before I leave. "Hey, Buck,  Darry is supposed to be meeting for drinks with Kelsey Sanders later can you keep an eye on her?"

"like Kelsey Sanders the town sl-

"Yes Buck, that Kelsey Sanders" I say with a giggle

"Oh gotchu I'll definitely keep an eye out for you"

"Thanks" I say as I walk out the door. I get in my car and drive down to the Curtis'. When I get there I see that the whole gang is inside. I walk in to see everyone either watching tv, talking or playing cards.
"Hey deal me in Steve" I say taking a seat at the kitchen table with him and Soda. After a couple rounds of playing and winning sodas flannel and the bumper on Steve's car (It was all he had left to bet.) , Darry walks into the dining room, I look up from the game. Only to be caught by surprise when I see that he's wearing a black button up, with a fresh pair of jeans and a pair of black dress shoes, which probably belonged to his dad.
His hair was greased to the side and he wore a smile that I hadn't seen in a while. After a few minutes I realize that I had been staring at Darry like some weird fan girl. I snap my self out of it and look to see if anyone had saw me. And sure enough I look to see everyone in the living room, even two bit who was on the floor watching Mickey had turned to look at me in the dining room. I rolls my eyes "what are y'all looking at?", everyone turned back to what they were doing giving each other weird smirks.

" Hey Darry where are you going dressed like that?" Steve asked in a curious tone.
"I-
"He's going on a drink date with Kelsey Sanders" I blurt out. I hear everyone in the living room get quiet.

"It not a date, it's just drinks and even if it was why do you care?" He said with an annoyed look.

"I don't" I snap back

"Good then, I better get going if i want to make it on time" he says getting the keys to his truck. "And ponyboy if you smoke more than a pack while I'm gone I'll skin ya""he shouts while walking out the door. The gang waits until they hear his truck start and roll down the street out of hearing range. When they are sure Darry's gone they all jump up and run to the dining room surrounding me with "ooooo's and ahhh's"

"Guys quit it" I say holding back a laugh.

"You like Darry don't you?" Dally says with a cheeky grin.

"I don't like Darry he is my bestfriend" I say while rolling my eyes. I don't like Darry, he's my friend, I don't like him. I can't like him, right?

"Sure, whatever you say" Dal says with a wink gesturing for all the guys to go back to the living room.

After about 10 more rounds of cards and me winning everything but the hair on their head from Steve and Soda, I return their belongings and I make an announcement. "Hey Bucks having a party tomorrow, are y'all going?" I ask as me, Soda and Steve all get up to sit in the living room.
A collective "Yea sure" was said between the gang. Just then a very cheerful Darry walked in the door, making everyone stop what they were doing to look at him.
"What are y'allllllll lookinggggggg at?" he says in a cheery half slurred smile. Is he tipsy? Darry doesn't even drink.
"I'm guessing drinks went well ?" Soda said with a smile.
"Reeeeaallyy well, she even asked me to go with her to Bucks party tomorrow" he said with a smile, "she's actually a really nice girl, I don't know why some people don't like her. I think some people are just jealous of her. Cough cough Delilah" he says glaring at me.
"Alright I'm out of here guys, see you tomorrow, and Dallas if you want a ride home you better be in the fucking car before I pull off", I say getting my stuff and walking out the door. I have had enough of Darrel's bullshit for one day.
I don't know why the thought of Darry going out with Kelsey made me so upset. All I
know is that it made my blood fucking boil.
