Chapter 8 - Beer

"Hey y/n. What took you so long?" Two-bit asked as I walked out. "Just girl problems." I lied. "I see." Two-bit said chuckling. "You're so immature Two-bit." I said walking towards him. "Why'd you steal my spot?" I asked, stopping. "Well I figured you'd never come back, so might as well give your spot a purpose." He said smiling. I playfully rolled my eyes at him. "I'll just sit on the floor then." I said, sitting down.

Dallas finally came out of the bathroom. "What's up with your face Dally?" Ponyboy asked. He must've seen how red his face was where I smacked it. I don't think anyone knew Dallas went into the bathroom, they were paying too much attention to Mickey Mouse. So of course they didn't know I slapped him. "Just another fight with Tim." He lied walking towards us. "I guess I didn't notice it before." Ponyboy said. "Yeah I guess." Dallas agreed.

Dallas sat down next to me on the floor. "Ya hit pretty hard doll." He said smirking at me. I turned towards him. "Why, you hurt?" I said smirking. "No." He said turning away from me. "Aww poor guy. Don't cry." I said playfully, patting his back. "Who's the mean one now?" He asked, shoving my hand away. "Shut up, you're still a dick." I said, nudging his shoulder. He chuckled.

"Ah shit." I said standing up. "What's wrong?" Two-Bit asked. "I gotta go home, my sister's probably worried about me." I said. "I didn't know you had a sister." Ponyboy said. "Yeah, she's really protective, and a prick." I said. Ponyboy chuckled. "Let one of us take ya home. It's late and it gets dangerous around here." Sodapop said from the dining room. "Alright." I said. "I'll go." Dallas said as he stood up. I playfully rolled my eyes at him. "Well it was nice meeting you guys. Bye!" I said walking towards the door. "Bye!" Everyone said as me and Dallas walked out the door.

"Never thought you woulda volunteered." I said to Dallas. He looked at me as we walked. "And why is that?" He asked. "I thought I was too much of a bully." I said smirking. "Shut up will ya." He said. "I just needed to get outta there alright." He pulled a cigarette to his mouth. He took a drag and pulled it away. "Plus I thought you were gonna steal something." He said. "Right." I said. "Yep, I wanted to see you fail." He said, laughing. I rolled my eyes at him. "You're a real dick ya know." I said. "You've already said that millions of times." He said. "Just wanted to let you know." I said, smirking.

"Well what's even around here?" I asked, looking in his direction. "There's a little stop up here. You can try to get some beer or something." He said pulling the cigarette back to his lips. "Aren't we underage?" I asked. He laughed at me. "You said you could cause trouble. Unless of course you can't." He said smirking. "I can alright. I'll show ya." I said crossing my arms. "Sure." He said sarcastically. I shoved him.

"Well come on where is this place?" I asked. "Follow me." Dallas said, walking ahead of me.

We were walking in silence towards the store. "You're gonna wanna distract um when you're stealing." Dallas said breaking the silence. "Huh?" I asked looking his way. "The cashier. You're gonna wanna distract them so you don't get caught." He said. "Ok. How?" I asked. "Talk to them or something. Ask for something, ya know those kinda things. I can also do it." He said looking my way. "Ok." I said. "I'll try my best. But if I fail you better not make fun of me." I said smirking. "Can't make any promises doll." He said smirking.

"Why do you call me doll all the time?" I asked. "I don't know. I call every girl those kinda things." He said. "Ok weirdo." I said nudging his shoulder. He smiled. It seemed weird to see him smile. I didn't know him very good but it seemed like he didn't genuinely smile much. It was kind of nice.

"Alright ya ready doll?" Dallas asked as we arrived at the store. "I guess." I said. "You know if you get to call me doll I'll call you lover boy." I said jokingly. "Fine by me." Dallas said. "Ok...lover boy." I nudged his shoulder. "Lover boy." I said again, laughing. "Ok, ok stop. It's getting annoying." Dallas said. I laughed as we entered the shop.

There was a girl at the counter. As we entered she focused her eyes on Dallas and gazed upon his body. She smiled at the sight of him. "I'll distract her while you get the beer." Dallas whispered in my ear. I nodded as I headed towards the beer.

While Dallas distracted the girl I grabbed two beers and shoved them in the pockets of my denim jacket. I tried my best to secure them in my pockets so they wouldn't fall out. My pockets weren't that deep so it was hard for me to keep them hidden but I tried my best.

I walked by Dallas and taped his shoulder, signaling him that I was done. "Bye doll." Dallas said to the girl as he walked with me to the door. We walked out and heard, "Bye! Hope I can see you again!" We laughed as we shut the door behind us.

"You really do call every girl doll." I said smirking. "Told ya." He said. "You two really seemed to be in love." I joked. "It's one sided." He said. I laughed.

We walked a little longer so we wouldn't get caught. "So what'd ya get doll?" Dallas asked. I playfully rolled my eyes at him because he called me doll. I pulled out the two bottles. "Only two?" He asked. "Oh shut up. At least I got something." I said handing him a bottle. "I guess." He said taking a swig of the beer. "So ya think I can cause trouble. Am I still "just a soc"?" I asked making hand quotations. "I don't know." He said. I nudged his shoulder and rolled my eyes.

"Maybe you're not like other socs, but you're still not dangerous." Dallas said. "Well at least that's something." I said taking a sip of my beer. "You know I don't understand why people like beer so much." I said. "Why's that?" Dallas asked. "It's not amazing like everyone says it is. I mean it's fine but it's not amazing." I said. He laughed. "You're just saying that because it's your first time drinking doll. You're not used to it yet." He said taking another swig.

"Keep drinking and you'll get used to it." Dallas said. "Ok." I said.
