SODAPOP WAKES UP TO THE FEELING OF HAIR TICKLING HIS CHEST, he tilts his head to see blonde hair spread across his bare cheat. sodapop then realizes he had slept with her.
he then turns his head towards the clock that read 6:24 AM. he had to get up for work but he didn't want to wake her and remind her about the night before.
his hand lies under the back of his head with other resting on lacy's bare back, hearing the chirping birds from outside that soon gets interrupted by loud arguments his annoying neighbors.
the silence was ended by a small yawn from under his chin, sodapop's eyes lowered to look at her eyes opening.
as soon as lacy's eyes opened, she realizes that she was in sodapop's bedroom. she bolts up from the bed, holding the sheets against her in a panic. sodapop freaked and sits up.
"what the hell happened?" lacy shrieks.
"we might've-"
"i know but how?" she adds, "oh god did you even wear a-"
"of course i did." sodapop reassures her, pointing at the garbage can where the old condom lies.
lacy covers her forehead with her hands, "i have to get work soon, my boss is going to be super pissed!"
lacy gets out of bed and jumps around while trying to find her missing clothes, sodapop casually picks up her shorts from underneath the bed.
"looking for these?" he smirks.
"now's not a good time, he's gonna kill me." lacy exaggerates, "this is gonna make him hate me even more, first me punching him and now-"
"wait, what do you mean you punched him?" sodapop interrupts her.
"oh soda, it's no big deal, some disagreement." she lies.
"lacy."
she huffs, "it's nothing. i'll see you around."
lacy slams the door shut on her way out. sodapop sits on his bed instead of trying to put himself back to sleep, he decided to just get ready for the day even though he had an hour to himself.
sodapop grabs his towel and heads to the bathroom.
as he was showering, he thought about all of the reasons he could think of as to why lacy had to hurt her boss. he couldn't help but to think of something he didn't want to imagine, that was raymond ford trying to take advantage of lacy.
he slapped his head repeatedly in order to get that thought out of his mind. lacy being taken advantage of was the last thing he wanted to hear, he knew it was going to make him want to kill raymond which was very unlikely of sodapop.
after his shower, he walks out with a towel around his waist and sees ponyboy stumble out of his room with his underwear on. sodapop holds his mouth over his hand to contain his laughter.
sodapop returns to his room to grab his work clothes, a dx shirt and jeans. he checks his hair in the mirror before putting a dx cap over it. sometimes he asks himself how girls know what his hair looks like even though it's been covered by his cap most of the time.
sodapop leaves his bedroom to attend to the kitchen where ponyboy was nearly slumped by the refrigerator that was barely open.
"morning sweet buns!" sodapop yells in his ear.
ponyboy jumps and falls to the ground.
"not enough sleep, huh?" he chuckles.
"because of you and lacy making all that noise." ponyboy groans.
sodapop stops rinsing his cup and looks at his little brother.
"jeez, i'm sorry pone."
"don't worry about it, i passed sex ed so you don't have to teach about why it's important to have sex." ponyboy laughs.
"shut up." sodapop rolls his eyes, "don't forget, saturday darry is throwing your goodbye party."
"ugh, i don't want to leave." ponyboy complains.
sodapop shakes his head and smiles, "you're lucky uncle jug was happy enough to let you stay."
"i guess but i don't want to leave you guys, what if i miss out on something?" ponyboy shrugs.
"little bro, you ain't gonna miss a thing." sodapop reassures him.
