   ❝ like a train you'd come and i'd lose my place

after the very last morning class ended, it was already lunchtime, everybody's favorite period. céline walked out of her class and walked over to the cafeteria where she saw christopher sitting in a table with some greasers, but she could tell that they seemed sweet and probably wouldn't mind their company.

céline walked to the table and sat down next to christopher. "who's the pretty lady here?" a guy with side burns asked. "this is céline, she's an exchange student from france" christopher answered. "ooh la la, name's two-bit" he said, holding out a hand for céline to shake. "nice to meet you" céline smiled, shaking his hand.

"oh hey celine" ponyboy said, sitting down next to two-bit. "hi ponyboy" she smiled. "i see y'all already met" christopher spoke. "yes, we met in english class. in fact we got partnered up for a project," céline said. "speaking of which, could you tell your mother that i'm going home with ponyboy to start on the project? i promise i'll be home before dark" she asked.

christopher nodded, starting to eat his lunch. "where's steve?" two-bit asked ponyboy. "probably went to the dx to work with sodapop" ponyboy answered with a shrug, not really caring about steve. "who's sodapop?" céline asked with a hint of curiosity. "he's my older brother but he's a drop out and works at a gas station. maybe you'll meet him later" ponyboy explained. céline nodded, looking at the boys lunches.

"is that what you guys eat at this school?" céline asked. "yup, i don't really go to the lunch where they have different food every day 'cause it gets crowded. so i simply get eiher a pizza or a burger" christopher shrugged. "back in france, we would have our meals like the starter, the main and the dessert but i mostly ate both the main and the dessert which were either salad or soup for the main meal, and for dessert i would have either a eclair or a soufflé" céline explained.

"my, my i wish i were in france i would love to eat all the french desserts they've got" two-bit said with a giggle. céline chuckled, liking two-bit's sense of humor. "how are you liking this school?" ponyboy asked. "personally i think this school is alright, but the different groups bother me like the whole greaser and soc thing, back in france there was no such thing, we were just simply ourselves" céline shrugged.

"golly, when you go back to france you should take us greasers with you, we can't handle them darn socs" two-bit said. "i would, but how many greasers would it take to fill an airplane?" céline asked. "too many" ponyboy giggled.

while they still talked, a few soc boys walked over to their table, not to bother the greasers but to try and talk to céline. "céline.. right?" one of the boys asked. céline nodded, unaware of their antics. "would you like to go out with me?" he asked. "sorry, but i'm not that easy to get" céline shrugged, noticing the fancy clothes the boys wore. the boy simply stood there in shock, never having felt ashamed, the other boys laughed until they decided to walk away.

christopher and the guys laughed at the socs rather embarrassing move. céline couldn't help but crack a smile.

♥︎

right as the last bell rang, everybody ran out of the school, sick and tired of that old place. céline walked out with both christopher and ponyboy, who she actually had her last class with.

"okay so i'll tell mom that you'll be at home before dark. ponyboy, don't let anything bad happen to her, céline over here is like the sister i never had" christopher said, looking at them two. "we'll be fine christopher, don't worry" céline smiled. "if you want i can pick you up when you're done" christopher offered. "no, no i think i'll be okay" she nodded, giving him a reassuring smile.

christopher nodded then got in his car, he waved at them two as he left. "i think you'll be fine since the house you're staying at is actually kinda close to my house" ponyboy said as they started walking off to his house. "how come two-bit didn't come with us?" céline asked. "he usually takes the time after school to either catch up with his other buddies or get some drinks at the closest store but he'll be at my house eventually" ponyboy said.

"oh.." céline nodded, "who else goes to your house besides two-bit?" she asked. "my friend johnny, soda's buddy steve, and dallas winston" ponyboy answered. "how come sodapop dropped out of school, isn't he too young for that?" céline asked. "he dropped out to work at the gas station because our parents died a few months ago and our older brother takes care of us and if we do somethin' bad then the court might take sodapop and i and put us at a boy's home and i don't want that to happen" ponyboy explained.

"awh i'm really sorry" she said. "it's okay," he said as they arrived at his house, "well this is my house, our door's always open if you ever wanna come back here again" he said as he noticed the fence gate was already open.

ponyboy walked inside his house, céline following him. as they walked inside, she couldn't help but notice the amount of laughter and yelling there was combined, she hoped it wouldn't bother her though.

"maybe we could start on our project over at the dinner table because that's where i usually do my projects at, and i also get some peace and quiet" ponyboy spoke, noticing how uncomfortable céline was with the loud noise. "hey céline" two-bit said, looking up at her from the floor. "hey two-bit" she smiled.

"couldn't resist me now couldn't you?" he asked as a joke. céline couldn't help but laugh. "who's this pretty gal?" a guy with crooked teeth asked. "oh that's céline the exchange student at our school, she's from france steve can't you believe that?" two-bit said, introducing her to him, "céline, this is steve who also happens the ugliest guy in the gang" he continued with a giggle.

"hi steve" céline smiled. "hi céline" steve grinned, then sat down next to two-bit. "where's soda?" ponyboy asked. "he's takin' a shower" two-bit said, looking at the tv.

"well i think you should start reading the book while i get the things we need from my room" ponyboy said as he put the book on the table then left. "alright" céline nodded as she grabbed the book and started reading.

while she was still reading, she looked up to see a guy who only had a towel around his body , who was also a really handsome guy. "hi céline," he said, unable to resist céline's beauty. "hello, you must be sodapop" céline said with a smile. "yup" he nodded, smiling at her. "have you seen ponyboy?" he asked. "he said he would go to his room to get some things" she said.

"oh alright, thanks céline. it was nice meetin' ya" he said, walking away. céline smiled, never having seen a guy who was as handsome as sodapop.
