The Curtis Girl (An Outsiders FanFic)

Chapter 1 Trying to Find Something

Nat's POV

I was getting ready for school and I didn't know if I really wanted to go. I layed there not wanting to get up when next thing I hear is the screen door slam shut and Steve shake me. "hey kid wake up!" I jumped and sat up. "Really Stevie? Really? What time is it anyway?" "Time for you to get ready for school princess" Darry said. Everyone in the group calls me princess besides Stevie he calls me kid. I like it when he calls me kid. It makes me feel like he has  control over what ever relationship we have together. "Do I have to go to school Darry? Can't I just stay home today?" I hoped he would say I could stay home. I mean Sodapop dropped out of school right after our parents died why couldn't I drop out too? "No princess you have to go to school. You need school to keep you in line." "Come  on Darry just one day please. I go to school everyday and I have good grades. Please. Look if it will make you feel better I'll go take a shift at work. Make some extra money. We're out of beer and cake mix and I don't want you to have to go out and buy it because the only people that eat all of our cake and drink all of our beer is Two-bit Stevie and me. Might as well take a responsibility for my friends and I. Come on please big brother?" I begged. "Come on Darry she'll be with me and Sodapop whats the worse thing that could happen?" Steve said. I would hope he was saying this because he wanted to spend time with me walking to work.

Steve's POV

I was only there at the kids house because I wanted to see her. She was so beautiful with her blond hair and blue eyes and her porcelain  doll skin. I couldn't tell her I liked herbecause Soda would flip out on meand I know Nat doesn't like me. The only reasonItried to convince Darry to let Nat skip school and come to work is so I could spend some time with her. I really do like her. Matter of fact I think I might love her.

Nat's POV

"Darry come on. Would you rather me be in school miserable or working where I feel happy so I can help this family?" I said giving him the money guilt trip. "Okay go to work. But dont let anybody see you. I might get in trouble for you notbeing at school. Now head to work you two." He said as he walked out to the door to his truck so he could go off to work. "Ponyboy! You better start walking to school so you make it on time" I screamed at him. I started walking to work with Steve. He wasn't saying anything and it worried me. Did he feel akward around me alone without Sodapop or Two-bit around? He looked like he  had something on his mind so I broke the ice. "Stevie? Why aren't you saying anything?" I said looking down at the ground with my hands in my jacket pockets and kicking rocks as I walked down the street. I was hoping he would start talking but he didn't. What he did was so much more suprisin.
