Jealousy (A Sodapop Curtis Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

Hello, my name is Annabella Rose Mathews. I am 16 years old, and have an older brother named Keith, but we call him Two-Bit. My brother is 18 and a half, but still is a junior in highschool. I’m a sophomore, and I do decently in school. Two-Bit on the other hand isn-t the brightest, but I love him with all my heart. 

“Two, are you ready to go?” I asked while grabbing my bag.

“Yeah, let’s go,” Two-Bit replied while grabbing his leather jacket.

Two-Bit and I both headed to the Curtis house, as we did most days. We got there and as we headed in everyone was getting ready for work. I worked at the DX with Soda and Steve, since it was summertime and I didn’t have school. I sat down on the couch next to Steve and took some of his chocolate cake.

“Oh, I didn't know you wanted to go this morning,” Steve said while getting up in front of me and crossing his arms. I then shoved Steve to the ground and we rolled across the floor and then I put him in a choke hold.

“Lay off him,” Two-Bit said while coming out of the kitchen with a beer.

“Fine” I said while letting Steve go, and laying there on the ground.

“Soda, are you almost ready to go,” Darry yells while getting his work boots on.

“Yeah almost” Soda said while pulling his shirt on.

“I think you might need shoes,” I said to Soda as I headed out the door.

“Yeah yeah,” Soda responded in a sarcastic voice. Me and Steve laughed as we waited for Soda.

“Do you have everything you need for work,” Two-Bit asked while giving me a hug goodbye.

“Yeah I do,” I said while hugging Two-Bit back and then heading out the door.

Darry dropped me, Soda, and Steve off at the DX and as we walked in I went behind the counter, and Steve and Soda headed to the back. The morning was kinda slow but a couple of guys came in to get a coke, but I knew they were just there to flirt with me. Steve would always laugh because practically every time a guy came in he would flirt with me. Even the socs would flirt with me sometimes. I mean I’m not the worst looking I guess. 

I got bored at the counter so I went to the back to see what Soda and Steve were up to. 

“Hey, whatcha guys doing,” I asked the boys while taking a sip of my coke.

“Just putting new wipers on this one,” Soda replied while not looking up from what he was doing. I set my coke down and then went to look closer at what Soda was doing.

“Need any help,” I said while leaning over Soda.

“Nah I’m almost done,” Soda replied while finishing up.

“Hey Stev-, wait is that my coke,” I said as I looked over at Steve who was chugging my coke. Steve shook his head.

“Hey that’s mine” I said while grabbing the coke out of Steve’s hand and taking a sip of it. Steve gave me the pouty lip.

“Fine” I said while handing the coke back to Steve. He then smiled and drank the rest of it, I just laughed at him.

“Well our shifts end in 5,” I said to the boys while heading back inside. 

“Alright,” Soda said while wiping his hands on a rag that he pulled out of his back pocket. We all then headed inside and I got the keys to lock up. Soda then took the towel he was wiping his hands off with and threw it at me. 

“What was that for?” I said while giving Soda a confused look.

“Two-Bit told me to do that if any guys flirt with you.” Soda said while laughing. Steve then started laughing as well as we all excited the DX. Personally I didn’t find it that funny.

“I can’t help it if all those guys are attracted to me” I said while smirking at the boys. 

After a couple minutes Darry came and picked us all up. On the ride home I fell asleep while leaning against Steve. He didn’t mind me doing this, since we were best friends.
