An Outsider Love Story

meeting

She dries her tears up and we both stand up. The music stopped. We hear footsteps coming toward us so we get back to the baking. Soda and Two-bit comes to check on us.

“Hey ladies what you up to?” Two-bit comes in and kisses Kathy on the cheek. She smiles and looks at me and tilts her head to the right. I nod my head and smile back and tilt mine to the left.

“Is that code for something?” Soda asks me.

“No what are you talking about? We are just baking some cakes so you'll love us."

“Baby girl, I love you without the cake. I don’t need it. Just you.” He lifts my chin up. I smile back at him and he sneaks his way to the cake. I slapped him right on the hand.

“No no no. There not ready yet.” I wave my finger in his face. But he takes it any way. Him and Two-bit start running. Dally bangs on the door.

“Meeting in twenty minutes.”

“Well that was fast.” Kathy whispered.

“I have to go. Tim wants me at the house around six. And I really don’t want to go.” I whined.

"You don’t have to go to your house if you don’t want to. You can come with us. I am, just in case someone stupid gets injured.”

“At practice?” I questioned.

“Like I said, someone stupid.” She laughs.

Everyone is piled in the living room but they are waiting for Pony to wake up and Soda to come out of his room. I walk straight to the home phone and dial Tim. Hopefully he is still there I doubt they left yet. They are normally late for stuff like this. It rang four times and someone picked up. I hear rock music and guys yelling on the other end. Typical.

“Hello? Who is this?” I hear a loud deep voice blare into the phone.

“Hey Chris, its Lola.” I try to sound less annoyed. I really don’t like Chris he tried to kiss me right in front of Soda one time and got a broken nose from Soda and a broken rib from Tim. Tim told the gang to never hook up with me. He said it was wrong and sickening. I was okay with that because I had Soda.

“Who?” He asked again. Is he deaf or something?

“Lola, you dumbass.” I yelled in the phone. I just know realize that the music was off in the house I was at. Oh well who cares.

“Oh, hey there sexy.” He tried to sound cute but it wasn’t working.

“Yea whatever you say you. Anyway tell Tim I’m going to see him at the lot. Tell him that Kathy says they need me there just in case something bad happens.” I cut to the chase.

“So I will see you there. Right?”

“You will also see the Curtis brothers there.” I say.

“Fine, I'll tell him.” He hangs up.

“Finally.” I set the phone down and head into the living room where everyone was. They stared at me but I didn’t really care.

“Are we ready?” I asked a little uneasy.

“Oh we are. Are you ready?” Two-Bit asked.

“Well, let’s go.” I say with fake cheerfulness.

We get to the lot and I go and sit on the hood of the truck. Kathy brought her two first aid kits. She sits inside the car. We watch the boys gather around talk for a bit while waiting for Tim and the rest of the gang. Soda is talking to Steve, Darry is talking to two-bit, and Dally was playing it cool with Johnny. Tim and the gang showed up finally. Curly comes to me and gives me a hug and waves to Kathy. Then he runs back to Tim. Tim looks at me and I give him a nod and he nods back.

The training begins with Tim explaining the basic defense. I learned how to fight when I was little. Tim taught me how just in case something happened. I obviously never got into a fight because I just threaten to stab people and they just run away after I give them a crazy look. Although there was this one time I was fighting Curly’s crazy ex-girlfriend Rachel on of Angela's friends. She was a complete nut case. Curly found out she was diagnose severely insanity and he broke up with her. Weeks later we saw someone staring in the window and Tim went outside and found out it was Rachel and she said she has been doing this for two weeks straight watching Curly sleep.

She went to the same school as Curly, Soda and I before Soda and I dropped out. I went up to her and told her to leave him alone and then she called me a slut for dating Soda and I just beat the living hell out the crazy ass bitch. She deserved it for calling me a slut. I really hate that word. I was thinking so much about fights that I forgot that I was supposed to be watching out for the guys just in case something goes wrong. I snapped out of my train of thought when someone was calling me and Kathy.
