The Perfect Us ||A Sodapop Curtis x Reader Story||

Who Is She?

Y/n's POV:

I was so embarrassed from what Two said. I was also a little hurt that Soda likes someone else now. It doesn't matter now though, because I need to get to the Dairy Queen before I'm late.

"I'm here!" I scream as I run through the back door.

"Finally, you're shift is about to start," Mary said. She's my coworker and a fellow greaser. She's pretty chill.

The day was just like any other. Serving ice cream, burgers and fries to greedy and annoying customers. Then, he walked in.

"Hey Cookie," Soda said. I smiled from behind the counter.

"Hey Soda, what are you doing here?"

"There were a bunch of girls flirting and making me uncomfortable at the DX, so I just called in sick and knew your shift was ending soon. So, I figured we could hang out for the rest of the day."

"Alright. I still have about 15 minutes left. Want some ice cream?"

"You bet. The usual."

I smiled at the boy as he walked away to sit down.

"Is that Mr. Saved My Life the other day?" Mary asked from behind me.

"Oh uh yes. That's Soda, my best friend."

"He's a real hunk of meat." She said with a smirk. I don't know why, but it almost made me feel, jealous?

"Yeah, well he and his girlfriend just broke up and he likes someone so I don't think you have a shot." I said while grabbing a cup for Soda. I turned on the soft serve machine to make Soda's favorite ice cream. A cherry sundae. With sprinkles. He's always a little extra and I love that about him.

"I think it's you. Have you seen the way he looks at you? He's totally in love with you."

"Mary! We both got out of relationships. I really don't think we should into things." Though, the thought of being Soda's girl isn't a horrible thought. Maybe I do like him?

"Yeah, okay. Go give him his ice cream. I'll cover your shift for the last 10 minutes."

"Thanks Mary! You're the best!"

"Don't you forget it!" Mary called as I quickly made a chocolate dipped cone with M&Ms on top. My favorite candy. I threw my uniform off and stuffed it into my bag.

"Hey, we can go now," I say to Soda while handing him his ice cream.

"Great, let's go!" He said as we walked out the door.

"Wanna go to the lot?" I asked. I didn't really feel like doing much.

"Sure. Don't race," he said and I stared at him for a second.

"You're never going to let me live that down are you?"

"Nope," he said with a grin. This man.

"You know Steve gave me an entire 10 minute lecture on why I shouldn't run in the streets," I said sitting down. "He acts like I'm a tiny little baby who needs protected. I'm 17 and only 2 minutes younger than him."

"He just cares for you and doesn't want you to get hurt. It's his way of showing that he loves you."

We sat in silence for a bit, and I let Soda's words sink into me. I get that Steve loves me. I love him to. But does he always need to treat me like a child? I thinking for a while, then I remembered what he had said earlier.

"Soda?"

"What's up, Cookie?"

"Who was that girl?" My voice was almost shaking. Don't cry. You'll be okay.

"Cookie, do you mean the girl who stopped by earlier? That was Sandy. Are you feeling alright?" I loved how he was concerned. But at the same time, I could feel my heart breaking.

"No Soda. When Sandy was there, you had said you had moved on and that you like someone else now. Who is she?" I could feel tears swell up into my eyes.

"Oh, well, she's like no other. She's beautiful, she'd do anything for the people she loves. At first, I almost didn't want to like her because of what happened with Sandy. Then, I realized I felt safe with her. Like she could take away all my pain in one smile."

I tried so hard to keep it in. "She sounds nice," I managed to mumble.

"What's wrong Cookie? Why are you crying?"

Soda always knew when I cried. Dammit. "Oh, nothing, don't worry about it." I say getting up. I can't be here anymore. I realized I fell in love with Soda.

"Cookie.." He started, but I had my back turned to him. I ran down the hill back to my house. I allowed myself to fully cry now. I felt bad just leaving him there like that, but I couldn't stay there any longer.
