*The Next Day*

Ariana's P.O.V
Dally woke me up by tickling me. This guy was in a good mood. I wonder why though. "So handsome why are you in a good mood?" "I'm not in a good mood pumpkin." he said smiling. "Yes you are cause you never wake me up by tickling me. You usually shake me." "Okay fine I'm happy because the guy that I hated died." "Jason? The one that had nice eyes?" I asked. "Yeah. And his eyes looked like shit, pumpkin." "Hmm I guess so. And how did he die anyways?" I asked as I picked out my clothes for school. "In a fight. Tim was there and someone came and killed him. It was funny when Tim told me." he said with a smile. "Your an ass." I said laughing. "Do I have to go to school Dally?" "Yes. Why?" "Well Edith is not going to be there. And what if Cherry comes and tries to hit me?" "Use self defense smarty. But don't get caught cause I will beat the tar out of you if you get suspended." "But Dally I'm not like you or Edith. And I won't." "Your gonna be okay. Come let's go."

We headed down the stairs and we started to walk to the Curtis House. I saw my crush, Ponyboy. Nobody knows I like him only Johnny and Edith. But I was going to tell him eventually. We would always flirt. He would call me "Beautiful, gorgeous. One of a kind." sometimes he would say that I'm his. Nobody knows though. I saw Edith and Steve wrestling they love and hate each other I think it's funny. Darry was making breakfast, Soda was getting ready, Two-bit was watching Mickey, Pony was reading, and Johnny being quiet like always. "Hey guys" Dally said. "Hey Dal. Hey baby Winston." they said. "Oh hey!" I said. Edith and Pony looked at each other, nodded and smiled. I wonder what that was about. "After school?" is all I heard from Edith. Pony just nodded his head. Pony asked Dally if they could talk that's werid. They went outside. About 5 minutes later we needed to go to school so Johnny, Two-bit, Pony, and I headed to school.

Dally's P.O.V
"Hey Dal. Can I talk to you outside?" Pony asked. "Sure lets go outside." "Well it's about Ariana." "What about her?" "Well I like her and I want to see if you give me permission to date her?" "Yeah I give you permission. Just don't hurt her okay. Cause if you do I will beat the living hell out of you." I said. "I won't hurt her. I promise." "Okay let's go back inside."

Edith's P.O.V
I woke up with a huge hangover. Last time I'm drinking with Two-bit. Well anyways I got ready. I put on some black high waisted shorts, a pink crop top, pink converse, a little bit of eyeliner. I put my hair in a bun and put a pink bandana on. We headed to the Curtis house.

We arrived early but not to early. Pony and Soda were already awake. I asked Soda if he had a thing for hangovers and he said "Yeah there are some aspirins in the kitchen" I nodded and that's when Ariana and Dally came in. Pony and I looked at each other and we smiled and nodded. "After school?" I asked him. And he nodded 'Yes' then Pony went to go talk to Dally.

A few minutes later Pony came in. "Edith, Dally said I could date her!" Pony told me in the kitchen all happy. "Really wow I expected him to be hard and protective." "Yeah me too. He said that if I hurt her he will beat the living hell out of me." "Well that's a threat. But after school right. And go to school it's time. Take care of Ariana for me please. Always wait after class for her." I told Pony. "I know. And yeah after school and yeah I will take care of her." "Bye guys" The three of them shouted. "Princess come on were going to be late for work!" Steve and Soda yelled at me. "I'm coming." I told them as I took my aspirins. We headed off to work.

When we arrived to the DX, Soda gave me a uniform. "What's this for?" "Change." Soda said. "Can't I just put the DX shirt over it and not button it up? Like you and Steve do it?" I asked. "Sure thing princess" Soda said smiling as he walked out. There was no customers so I just sat their and read a magazine. They I heard the little bell ring. I looked up and see Sandy. She look like she just got done crying. "Hey Sandy are you okay.?" I asked. "Edith can I talk to you?" she asked. "Sure. What's up?" "Edith. I'm-I'm pregnant." "What? You can't be. How long have you and Soda been dating?" I asked. "9 months" "So when are you going to tell him?" I asked and her face expression changed. "That's the problem. Its not Soda's its somebody else's" "Your telling me that you cheated on my best friend?" "Yeah. I'm sorry." I was about to tell her something but Soda walked in. Sandy left and Soda went to chase her. He came back with a sad expression. "Sandy is leaving to Florida." he said with tears in his eyes. "Soda I have to tell you something." "What is it?" "Sandy's pregnant but it's not yours. It's somebody else's. I'm sorry." "So you knew that she was leaving?" "No Soda I didn't she just came and told me she was pregnant with another man's baby and I was going to tell her something but you came in. I'm sorry Soda. If you want we could go to The Dingo to talk, our shift is almost over." "Yeah that sounds nice. It ends in 20 minutes. And thanks for looking out for me." Soda said as he hugged me.
