         "I never knew what love was until my eye's landed on you."

Chapter 3

Rose's POV

I looked through my closet for something nice to wear. I wanted to look good for my first time at  a party and I'm meeting new people. I ended up picking a white lacy crop top and my light pink skirt. I put on my jean jacket and tied the front of it.

I brushed out my hair and curled the ends. I put on some makeup and perfume. I ended up just putting on white converse because I hate fancy shoes. I put on my heart necklace and a few of my rings. I looked at the clock and it read 7:30pm. I looked at myself one more time in the mirror and headed to the living room.

I saw Two sitting on the couch drinking a beer. I knew then I was definitely not letting him drive. If he did I would never get a chance to meet his friends. 

He looked me up and down. "Looks like someone got all dolled up."

I gave him a smirk. "Not really...Y'know what let's go, and I'm driving."

I picked up the keys and headed outside. Twobit soon came as well and didn't argue. He knew he wasn't capable of driving.

"Do you remember where it is?" He asked taking a sip of his beer.

"Du I still remember, My memory is not gone y'know" I said starting the car.

"Jeez, still smart with your comments I see. I guess some things just never change." He said giving a wink.

I rolled my eyes and started driving to Buck's bar.

"So, what are your friends names?" I asked looking at him for a second.

"One is Darrel Curtis, but we call him Darry, He's 20 and the oldest out of us. Seconded is Sodapop Curtis, but we call him Soda, He's 17. Third is Ponyboy Curtis, also called Pony, he's 14 and there all related. Fourth is Steve Randle, he is 17 and Soda's best friend. Fifth is Johnny Cade, he is 16, but he looks way younger. Last, but not least is Dallas Winston, but he likes to be called Dally, he's 17. I think you'll get along with them since most of them is your age, 17 right." He said looking at me.

"Yup 17. I guess it's a good thing I know most of them."

He looked at me confused. "How?"

"I met Johnny and Pony at school and I've met Soda and Steve at the DX when I first moved here last weekend. I just haven't met Darry and Dally." I said parking.

"Well nows your chance to meet them both." He said getting out he car. 

I took a deep breath and we both walked into the bar. My nose was instantly hit with the smell of Cancer sticks, Sex, and Alcohol. Twobit grabbed my arm and pulled me in the direction of 6 boys laughing and smiling.

"Hey guys, I would like you to meet my cousin." All of their eyes went to me and I stood their awkwardly. 

A guy with muscles was the first to talk.

"Hi I'm Darry, I'm the one who has to take care of these knuckle heads." 

I smiled. "Hi I'm Rose, but some people call me Rosie."

"Well Rose, since no one can speak anymore I'll introduce them. That's Soda, Johnny, Pony, Steve, and Dally." he said pointing at each of them. My eyes traveled down the line of boys and I recognized them. Once I made it to the end of the line I saw the boy named Dally. He looked kind of closed off. Like he was in another world. Something about him made me want to know more. 

I couldn't help, but stare at him. I think he felt my eye's on him because he looked at me and our eyes locked. I wanted to looked away, but I couldn't. I looked away when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Rose, how does it feel being the cousin of a dumbass." Pony asked me.

I laughed. "It's alright, even though I had  to drive here because Twobit was drinking beer, and there's no way in hell I'm putting my life in this fuckers hands." I said pointing at him.

"That's Twobit for ya, always drinking." Johnny said.

"C-come on ya'll, let's go get a drink." Twobit said slurring is words. Yup that's my cousin.

I rolled my eyes and everyone went to the bar except Dallas. I got a drink and downed about 5. I could already feel myself get drunk. More then 3 cups makes me dizzy. The gang was laughing and having a good time which made me smile. I made a few jokes and earned a roar of laughter. Soon I felt like I needed to sit down from all the drinks.

"Hey, I'm gonna go sit down." I yelled at Johnny over the music. He nodded and I went to sit on Buck's couch. 

To my surprise Dally came over to me and sat down. I turned to looked at him and he had a smug smirk on his face. His smile was killing me inside.

No Rose you can not fall in love with him. He probably has girls lining up for him. What are you thinking Rose? I have heard so much about him in school and about his ego. He's going to break your heart girl! Oh dear god...

I didn't realize a stupid grin was spread across my face until he said something about it. "You're thinking of me, aren't you?" 

"What? N-no of course not, I just met you." I said trying so hard not to blush.

"It's fine Doll, I wish I met you before my girlfriend, I would break up with her for you in a heart beat." He said putting a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"Well if you have a girlfriend I don't think she would like what you're doing." I said moving his hand away. Besides I've heard about you Dally."

He scoffed. "So you're gonna go off of what people say about me? I don't think that's very fair, shouldn't you get to know me for yourself?"

Man that is a good point, he got me there. "I mean I guess, you make a good point."

He smiled. "Okay so will you go with me to the Dingo? I'll pick you up."

Despite my head telling me not to go, my heart was saying something different. Did I really want to get myself involved with the famous Dallas Winston? Was this a good idea? For gods sake he has a girlfriend!... Oh fuck it!

"Yea sure, but you better not be late." I said pointing my finger at him.

He put his hands up. "I won't I won't." 

I smiled and got up to find Two. I looked around and couldn't find him. I just said my goodbyes to the guys. I looked through the crowd of people and saw Dally drinking. I gave him a smile and he smiled back. I waved goodbye and walked to my car. 

What did I just get myself into?...
