After Soda and I got home, I thought to myself. Do i really like soda?
No. I couldnt. I wouldnt do Pony dirty like that.
But y/n... you cant control your feelings.
But Sodas Ponys brother!
So? If you like him, you like him.

I rubbed my eyes in confusion. Soda had been calling my name.

"Y/n!!" He said, waving his hand in front of my face.

"H-huh?"

"Are you hungry?"

"What? OH! N-no."

He chuckled and ruffled my hair. I blushed.

I trudged to my room tiredly. All of these thoughts are draining me. But...

Do i really want Pony back?

Ay. I dont know. I dont know anything these days. My heads been spinnin and ive been seein stars.

Tomorrow is the second to last week of school, and boy was i excited. Imma be using this opportunity to catch up on all these Zs ive been losing.

Damn. What a stressful weekend. Not at all what i had planned.

I changed into my PJs and snuggled into bed.

---
Beep! Beep!

I groaned.

7 A.M. Already?

I really tried ignoring Pony these past days, but school is not helping at all. Neither is living in the same house as him. Everytime I see the boy, something in my heart flicks and I dont know what. Huh. Strange.

Swinging my legs over the bed, I shuffled out the room to get ready. A t-shirt and some jeans ripped at the knees. Practically my everyday look.

I prayed Darry had made breakfast. I was way too tired. I wallowed out of the bathroom to the kitchen. I smelled nothing, which meant Darry hadnt made breakfast and expects me to. I groaned again.

Getting out the eggs and bread, I began making a feast for the 3 horses that live here. Then I felt strong arms snake around my waist from behind. I mentally panicked.

Pony? No. His arms arent built like this. Darry? Helllll no. Not even an option.

I froze.

Soda.

I swung around and he didnt lose his grip. We were verrrrryyy close. Nose touching almost.

"S-soda...?" My hands were on the handle of the oven behind us.

"Shhhh." He said and LEANED IN.

I mentally panicked again and had NO clue what to do.

Then his lips met mine. First, i froze. Then i dunno. I guess somehow my arms were wrapped around his neck by the time we pulled apart. Black magic.

"The hell was that for?" I asked, trying not to smile.

"I dunnnnooo. Just thought you looked very wife material when you was cookin just now." He shrugged and bit into the toast I had already prepared. I blushed.

"Ayiyi Soda! You womanizer." I snickered and hit him with a spatula.

"Mmm says who?"

"Says me."

"Yeah yeah whatever. We know you the boss of the house." He winked and my stomach felt butterflies.

"Is Pony awake?" I stirred the eggs.

"Why? Was my kiss not good enough?"

"Aishh Sodapop! He has school! And so do I. You think im just cookin breakfast this early for nothin? You must be outta your mind."

"Oh right. Ill go get em."

He hurried off.

The thoughts of him kissing me still lingered. Why did he do that? Im not complaining, but why? Does he have feelings...?

No.

No way. Im not good enough for him.

I sighed and served the plates.

School was boring, as always. But only a few more left. I was off today from work, so I didnt know really what to do. Soda was working all day, along with Darry. Pony was off with the boys. So i really didnt have much anyways. I considered taking a walk, but we all know these Socs wouldnt allow that. I sighed. Sometimes i really wished we all could just mind our own business. But god knows thatll never happen.

I didnt really mind being a greaser. Yeah, life was tough but we are all family. Besides, we aint no bitches. We know how to take a hit. And i dont know. Being a greaser really teaches ya how to appreciate the little things.

Golly. It was sure lonely in this house. I really wish Soda was here. Or even Darry. Atleast he'd keep me company. Maybe Ill call Dally. Hes always free right? I made my way to the telephone and dialed his number.

"Hey Sugar lips." His deep voice echoed through the phone. I groaned. This day was really a groaning day.

"Hey asshole. You free? Im bored as hell"

"Ayyy you want me? Im honored"

"Dont get all worked up, Dallas."

"Woah woah. Using my full name eh? Feisty baby. But yeah im free. You wanna meet up?"

"Sure. Go to the drive in movies with me. Theres a new one that interests me."

"A movie date? Sure thing babygirl. Ill be there in 10"

And he hung up. I growled. Its just a movie. Ayiyi. Thats just Dallas Winston. I laughed softly and got ready.
