Stupidity- The Outsiders/ Dallas Winston

𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏

I mean I didn't mind, I've already moved on from Dallas, and of course Dallas was just Dallas I didn't see anything in it.
As Dallas was about to light up his cigarette with the match using his his pendant, he pulled me closer since he still had his arm wrapped around my shoulder, I moved away from his cancer stick cause the brand he buys reeks, maybe it's just me who thinks that.

" Mr. Winston you can't smoke inside school premises. " the cafeteria lady states

Dallas looks at the lady clenching his jaw before smoking the Ciggerete he exhales the smoke to infuriate the lunch lady, I cough at his gesture " Dallas move. " I continue coughing Dallas just looks down at me, laughing he must've thought I was joking.

" Are you alright sweetheart? that is no way to treat your girlfriend, she's clearly disgusted from your behavior, it is against school policies Mr Winston. "

" Mr. Winston if this behavior keeps getting repeated I'm afraid I will have to write a referal. "

I quickly move away from Dallas grasp
" I'm not his girlfriend. " I look down embarrassed for even being cconsidered as Dallas's girlfriend

" Pull down your skirt young lady! You children surely won't get anywhere with this type of immature behavior."

" yeah pull your skirt down. " Dallas laughs breaking the Cigerrete in half from dropping it

" who the hell are you to be talking? " I look at Dallas as if he was some dog following me.

" c'mere why you mad? " Dallas laughs pulling me closer to him his arm wrapped around my waist
As we walked out the cafeteria everyone stared at me and Dallas I wondered what made Dallas act like this, first he wanted to ignore me like I was some girl who hit on him, and now he was all over me?
I smile at the thought of Dallas actually noticing me I look up at his tall figure, he was looking behind me I look behind to see what he was exactly looking at, he was staring at my ass.
" oh my god, your fucking disgusting. " I tried shoving him but failed.
" The fuck did I do, I didn't do nothin" Dallas looks at me
" shut up. " I scoff and continued walking with Dallas, he was really probably the only reason people were looking

As we walked to the lunch table I kept pulling my skirt down I heard someone calling me from a distance, Dallas turned causing me to turn aswell
"Y/N? " Paul had a confused expression watching Dallas walk with me, with his hands all over me, his confused expression then turned to a smile watching me walk towards him
" Hey Paul! " I hug him reaching for his neck as he leaned down hugging me, his arms around my back.
" Isn't that Dallas from our class? You going out with him? " Paul laughs
I laugh nervously " no! he's just my friend! You should meet him sometime. "
Paul looks at me for a moment before looking for his friend group " Yeah? Hey I gotta head with my friends I'll see you after school right? "
"Mhm." I smile looking up at Paul.
He gestures me with a goodbye hug as we parted our ways, he went with his friends and I went with Dallas.

After a long day of school I was finally in my last class of the day, History.
When I was doing my notes I overheard some conversations near me since Paul was running late to class and I really don't talk to anyone in that class other than Paul.
" Pony boy Curtis? He's only known for being Sodapop Curtis's brother. "

"Sodapop is soo cute! " the blonde soc had said twirling her hair around her fingers before giggling with her friend group
" Elizabeth! His girlfriend is right there! " the group then proceeds to look at me looking me up and down.
" Whore." Elizabeth whispers
" of course he will go for a easy girl, look at her and how she's dressed! " Her friend proceeds to
say in a low tone.

"What did you say" i questioned "who the hell are you calling a whore? " I stand up out of my seat causing the whole class to look at me
" if your gonna say something say it to my face" the group stays quiet
" sit the fuck down Y/N" Dallas yells across the class since he was in the far corner, causing the whole class to turn and look at him

I look at Dallas with a disgusted look I grab the nearest object to me which was my notebook and threw it at Dallas completely missing him

" of course your gonna defend her, you fucked her!" I yelled back to Dallas as he stood up out of his chair reacting quickly

The classroom starts gasping loudly instigating the situation.

"Ms. Reed! Out, Outside the class NOW. " my teacher Mr. walker says slamming his hand on his desk.
I pack my stuff up and walk out the classroom.

I pace around the hallway wiping my watered eyes away, I hear laughing from the end of the hallway I walk the other way to avoid contact with another person I didn't want to draw attention
" Y/N! " Paul laughs before staying quiet seeing me walk away from him
I continued to walk away from Paul, I just couldn't deal with seeing somebody
Paul stops near the door of the classroom, he walks in on everybody whispering and  Mr Walker lecturing Dallas  while rubbing his temples Dallas then gives Paul  a look, Paul starts to pack his things up while everybody watches him
" Class isn't Dismissed Mr. Edwards. " Paul ignores Mr.Walker and  walks out the door searching for me in the hallway.
As I went in the bathroom I pulled out a cigarette and smoked a long drag of it, about 12 minutes pass by and im still at the bathroom skipping waiting until the bell rings, I might as well walk around.

As I walk around, I also tried looking for Paul since he wasn't in class

time passed by the bell rings causing the hallways to crowd up,
As everyone was shoving eachother I could've sworn I spotted Paul but I didn't pay no mind on looking for him I just wanted to get the hell out.

I walk with my books in the front of my skirt so nobody would make any comments of my skirt cause I honestly have had heard enough today I sit on the step of the stairs of the school exit waiting for soda to pick me up
Paul then comes next to me to sit by me on the steps " Hey you alright? I was looking for you."

" it's nothing I just got in a argument with some girls. "
" they were talking about me. " I chuckle as the wind blew a Breeze on my hair

"Ignore them. " Paul moves the hair strands out of my face

" Hey I didn't want to say anything in front of Dallas, but if you need sweater or shirt I can give you somethin' to cover your skirt. " he says offering his football jersey, I totally forgot he was in the football team, I notice some similarities with Soda and Paul they both do football,

well before Soda pop dropped out.

" you sure? You don't have to. "
I chuckle nervously

" Here " he offers the jersey and helps me put it on by holding my hair while I put it over my outfit

" Thank you Paul! " my face turns warm from his smile, something about his smile.

I lock eyes with Paul for a minute and I start to see girls whisper to eachother looking at a Red Corvair, Paul notices the girls got my attention and stands up.
I stand up to see who and what they were looking at, it was just Sodapop.

" oh shit, I gotta go now Paul, I'll see you at the dingo right? "

"I'll pick you up, you don't gotta worry about walking. "

I smile warmly at Paul before giving him a long hug.

Soda pop watches through the windshield, As I walk to the car Sodapop stares at the jersey I'm wearing

" Who's is that? " he asks not driving waiting for a answer

" My friend's jersey? "
I could still see Paul watching from the steps, looking at me and Soda talk.

On our way home the drive was really quiet and awkward, I inhaled the scent of Paul's Cologne and smile at the thought of him.

Soda kept looking at me resting my head on the headrest of the seat, im guessing that's cause of the jersey, When we arrived I just plopped onto the bed resting my eyes for what I thought would be for a few minutes, which turned to hours after I woke up.

I quickly get up to get ready, still wearing my clothes from school but just re- applying my makeup and fixing my hair.
