breaking the news

You're in your room reading a book when someone knocks on your door.

"Come in!"

"Hey," Soda says plopping onto your bed.

"Do you need something?" you ask.

"Not really, well...sort of."

You sigh. "What?"

"Well I just wanted to know what the whole jist is between you and Dally. You guys seem to be getting a little close."

You were kind of dreading this. You and Dally had been sneaking around for a bit and you were official but hadn't really told the gang yet but clearly Soda has started to catch on.

"It's what you think, Soda."

"Ya really like him?"

"We're dating," you confess.

"What?! Are you serious right now?"

You nod.

"How could you not tell me? You know I would never say anything!"

"Yeah, I know, but we were kind of busy trying to keep it from Darry."

"I'll understand that. But don't ya think your own twin should've known?"

"I'm sorry, but at least you're the first to know."

"How long has it been?"

"3 weeks?" you say realizing just how long it's been.

Suddenly the door bursts open.

"YOU'VE BEEN DATING DALLY FOR 3 WEEKS?!" Steve yells.

"What the hell?!" you turn to Soda.

" 'Bout that....forgot to tell you he's there," Soda says guiltily.

"You're damn lucky Darry isn't here! Might as well tell everybody," you exclaim.

"What's all the ruckus for?" Ponyboy says walking in.

"Ponyboy, did you know your sister is dating Dallas?!" Steve asks like he's beyond betrayed.

"STEVE!" you and Soda both shout.

"Well, you knuckleheads just figured it out?"

"Ponyboy, don't run your mouth," you scold him. "How'd you even know?"

"It's so obvious," he says, shaking his head. You smile a bit though, happy knowing your youngest brother could piece it together. Just then Dally walks into the room and all the boys stare at him.

"Woah, what kind of party is going on in here?" Dally says, cigarette in his mouth.

"They all know," you sigh.

"Oh. I didn't know we were really telling people yet, doll."

"DOLL?!" the boys exclaim. They all sounded like little children.

"Shut your traps. If any of y'all tell Darry I will skin ya myself," Dally says before shooing them out of your room.
