Gen's POV
"Gen c'mon! I'm going to the Curtis house right now!" My brother Two Bit yells from downstairs. "I'm comin! But I'm only staying til 6. I gotta meet Jack at 6:30." I say, running down the stairs with my long brown hair flowing down my back. "Alright, alright. Ya don't gotta tell me your life story, let's just go." he laughs.

"The party has arrived!" Two Bit yells as we walk through the door. "Hey Gen." Sodapop smiles at me. "Hi Soda." I give him a small wave. "What're you all dressed up for?" Ponyboy asks me. "I have a date." Everybody looks at me. "With who?" Steve asks. "Jack Burton." I blush. They all start hooting and making sounds. All of them except Sodapop. He's staring at his hands and not talking or looking at anybody. I figured he just wants space so I brush it off. Soon enough, it's time for my date.

Sodapop's POV
"Hey Two, can I talk to ya for a moment?" I asks hopefully. "Sure thing buddy." We go on the front porch. "What's up?" He asks. "I like Gen." The words roll off my tongue before I can process them. But I know it's true. "What was that? Ya like Gen, my sister?" He asks, genuinely confused. "Yeah. I really do. Could you like give me some advice on how to ask her out? Please?" I plead. "Course. It's pretty simple. Just tell her why you like her so much, and she'll fall head over heels." He shrugs. "Thanks, Two!" We go inside and I impatiently wait for her to come back.

Gen's POV
I wait on Jack for an hour and a half. I soon realize I've been stood up. I start to cry cause I've been so excited for this date just to get let down, and I feel stupid for thinking he could possibly like me. I walk to the Curtis house to get my brother, and Sodapop is sitting on the front porch alone. I wipe my tears, and walk up the steps. He looks up at me. "Hey G- oh what's the matter?" He jumps up and wraps his arms around me.
"H-he stood me up Soda! I'm so stupid!" I cry into his shoulder. "Shh it's okay Gen. Let me tell you somethin."
Sodapop's POV
"Shh it's okay Gen. Let me tell you somethin." I place my hands on her shoulders so she's looking me in the eyes. "Gen, I like you alot. You're perfect! I love how I can always get lost in your hazel-green eyes, your beautiful straight brown hair, and you love horses just as much as I do! You're a great singer and you write the most amazing songs! My point is, will you do me the honors of being my girlfriend?" I see the shock in her eyes before she attaches her lips to mine.
"I'll take that as a yes." I chuckle and she nods.
