I fell asleep early that night. I was tired and barely ate any dinner. I was still sick to my stomach about what happened with Jim.
Dinner was mashed potatoes and corn. I usually loved it, but tonight, I really wasn't feeling it.
"Willow, just eat somethin', please." Soda pleaded.
"I'm not hungry." I said, just playing with my food.
"You'll feel better." Soda said, trying to convince me. I just looked at him, knowing he wasn't going to give it up. I just took a bite. I really didn't have an appetite, but I ate anyway.
Soon, I just went into my room. I plopped down, and pulled my blanket over me. I then realized I forgot to turn on the light. THE FUCKING LIGHT!
Eh, fuck it. I need sleep. And just like that, I was out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, I woke up starving. I needed food.
I went into the kitchen. Darry wasn't here so I knew he left already. Pony definitely had to be gone because he always left before Darry. Soda wasn't up yet, but he always wakes up late. I decided to take a shower.
I got my shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I took a towel and finally got to take a decent shower. Not just a rinse.
When I got out, the cold air met my wet body. I shivered. Why was it so cold, it's mid September.
I got into my DX uniform, which Darry had cleaned for me yesterday. I was now completely ready with a bunch of time to spare. Soda wasn't even awake yet. I decided it was time for revenge. He woke me up, now I'll wake him up. NOBODY wakes me up like that in the morning. As you can guess, I am not a morning person.
I snuck into his room and right next to his bed. I got as close as I could to him before screaming and clapping.
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD!" I yelled, causing him to fall off the bed. I started dying of laughter. I mean, full wheezing and tears forming in my eyes kind of laughter. He just looked at me with a dirty look.
"Good morning, buddy!" I exclaimed. He just kept giving me a death glare before pulling his blanket back on him. He just fell back to sleep on the floor.
"Ugh, you're so lazy." I said, kicking him lightly. I walked away, leaving his door open.
I walked into the living room and found Two-Bit cackling. I knew what would get Soda out of bed.
"I'll just let Two wake ya up!" I yelled. I heard loud scrambling and there was Soda, running out of the room. Two and I laughed so hard.
"I guess he doesn't want a bucket of ice water dumped on him." I joked, shrugging.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was done at the DX earlier than Steve and Soda today. I don't know why, but it was a relief. I didn't want to work.
"Wanna wait for us to get off?" Soda asked.
"Nah, I'll be fine." I said, plainly.
"Be careful." Steve shouted from the back.
"Got it, sir." I said, laughing.
I decided to go to the store to get some stuff to make dinner. I thought I would surprise everyone.
I was actually a really good cook. I had to cook for myself and my parents a lot. Mostly because I was threatened into it so I had to learn. It was actually worth it.
I got spaghetti, cherry tomatoes, basil, spinach, garlic, and mozzarella. I was going to put it all together and make something really good. I knew exactly where it all was so I went to the
check-out quickly.
I saw two workers kissing, like fully making out. I was about to turn away, but when they pulled away, I was shocked. It was Sandy with some random guy I have never seen. Sandy was cheating on Soda again?! Oh my god. I then had a bright idea.
"Oh, hi Sandy. Does your boyfriend know you're here?" I asked, speaking loudly so the guy could hear.
"Hmm? What boyfriend? I thought I was your boyfriend." The guy said, suspiciously looking at her.
"What?" She asked nervously, starting to glare at me, "Ya must've confused me with someone else." She said, laughing nervously.
"Well, your name is Sandy, right?" The guy asked, catching on to the lie.
"I-I don't know this-I don't know this greaser." She said, rudely. Wasn't this bitch a greaser? Never mind, she probably changed to being a Soc. Bitch.
"Ugh, it's obvious that you're lyin'. Bye Sandy." He said, walking away.
"Wait!" She called after him, "Ya aren't the one I'm cheatin' on, you're the one I'm cheatin' with." She explained, as if that was going to help her case.
The guy rolled his eyes and kept walking. She was on the verge of tears before she stormed over to me. I hid my fear and kept a plain face on.
"Listen 'ere Willow. Ya can't just ruin me and get away with it." She threatened angrily.
"Oh yeah, what're ya gonna do? Tell Soda I'm bein' the bitch here? If I tell Steve, he'll believe me. Soda'll believe Steve if not me." I threatened back.
"Bitch!" She screamed in my face.
"Don't make me report ya to your boss." I stated, walking away. I was going back to the DX. After paying at a different check-out of course.
I just didn't know how I'd tell Soda. I guess I'll have Steve to help, but that won't make it easier.
I walked in, the bell on the door ringing. Steve and Soda came out of the back and saw me. I could see the worry on their faces.
"Willow, are ya alright? Did somethin' happen?" Soda asked.
"No, I just need to talk to Steve." I stated, trying not to panic. Steve shrugged and followed me outside of the shop.
"What's wrong?" He asked with a serious face.
"I ran into Sandy...she was kissin', like full makin' out with some guy." I said, looking away.
He looked at me, not saying anything.
"I ruined things between those two, but I don't know how to tell Soda." I said.
"We gotta tell him, together." Steve said. I nodded, dreading the moment. I knew he could either be so hurt, he gets mad at us, or he could shut down. If he shut down, I don't know how we could help him.
We both walked in, trying to keep ourselves from looking too upset. We weren't really showing emotion.
"Ya'll are scarin' me." Soda said, worry in his voice.
"Soda..." Steve started. I walked over to Soda and hugged him.
"I saw Sandy...with some other guy. I'm sorry." I said, feeling like I was hurting him.
"Wha-What?" He asked, not knowing what to say.
"Buddy, I'm sorry." Steve said, putting his hand on Soda's shoulder. Soda just stood there with a blank expression on his face.
"Soda? Are ya alright?' I asked. No answer.
