Scarlet Curtis

Being Tough

(Dally's POV)

When I saw Scar open the doors, man was she hot! She's not a little kid anymore. She hugged Darry first, than the gang, Ponyboy, and lastly Soda.

She's really grown up. Good thing me and Sylvia broke up because she is smoking hot!

(Scar's POV)

Darry and Dally helped me with my suitcases, and we fixed our room up like it was before. I was sitting on the edge of my bed when Soda comes in my room.

He smiles at me and says, "Hi." I said, "Oh um...hey." He said, "So, your fourteen now, huh?" I smiled and said, "Yeah, and your nineteen now, right?" He smiled and said, "Yeah, I am."

He sat beside me. Wow, everything has changed. I'm not little anymore, and I'm not as happy. I wonder why? Soda said, "So what are you thinking about." I said, "How I used to be."

He said, "When you were six?" I nodded my head and said, "We were best friends, we didn't want to leave each other's side, and now I feel different."

He said, "Yeah, I know what you mean. It feels weird to me to." I said, "Seven years, Soda. We were apart for seven years, and all I wanted to do was see you again."

He said, "Same here." I smiled and hugged him. I said, "Soda, let's go do something later. Just the two of us. So, we can catch up."

He smiled and said, "I'd like that." I said, "Me too." I hugged him again and walked out of our room to get me some ham, oatmeal, blueberries, and chocolate milk, but when I went downstairs all I saw was eggs and cake.

I said, "Uh Darry where's the oatmeal at?" Two-bit, Johnny, Dallas, and even Steve started laughing. I looked at them confused and said, "What?"

Two-bit said, "Since when do you eat oatmeal?" I shrugged and said, "Miss Ashley always made it for me at the girls home."

Steve said, "Well babe, we don't eat that here." I glared at him and said, "Call me babe one more time I swear you will not live to see tomorrow." He put his hands up in surrender and said, "Geez Scar, since when did you become so tough?"

I said, "Since I went to the girls home. They taught me to stick up for myself." Soda walked in and said, "Steve, don't be calling my little sister babe."

I rolled my eyes and started making oatmeal. Steve said, "How come?" Soda said, "Because she's my little sister, and you already have a girlfriend."

Steve said, "Well, so do you." I stopped cooking and looked up at him. He looked at me and said, "W-What are you talking about Steve no I don't." Steve said, "Yeah you do, Soda. You told me her name was Alyssa I think."

I looked up at him and said, "Alyssa? Wow, so I leave for seven years, and you don't even care." Soda said, "Yeah I do. I can't believe you don't think I missed you."

I said, "Well, you obviously didn't considering you were having fun with this Alyssa girl!" He said, "Princess..." I cut him off, "Don't even call me that. Dally come with me."

I walked out the door with him following closely behind. Before he closed the door I heard him say, "Don't worry, Soda. I'll keep her safe." He closed the door, and I walked away mad.

He said, "What was that?" I said, "What was what?" We were at my favorite place as a kid the train tracks. He said, "Well, you have never yelled at someone like that especially not Soda."
