Upon the Stars: Sodapop Curtis x OC {Completed}

Chapter Five

     I walked into the door of the Curtis house. I took the nasty wet bags off my feet, so did Soda. I kicked my shoes out of the way and raced over to the trash can, throwing away the bags. I quickly scuttled to the kitchen and washed my hands with soap, soap, and more soap... I jogged back into the living room and sat on the couch.

     "Hey Summer! Hi Soda!" Pony greeted as he lazily walked towards the bedroom. "I can't wait for the weekend..." He yawned.

     "Only one more day!" I called to him with a fake smile.

     Soda sat on the edge of the couch and looked at me. "If you need anything, wake me up... Darry's probably at work and will get home late... Ok?"

     "Alright..." I yawned. I grabbed the brown blanket that I used last night and sighed.

     Sodapop nodded respectfully and stood up, he went to his bedroom.

     I laid down and covered myself up with the blanket. I crossed my arms under my head. I listened to the wind sweep through the air as I closed my eyes. The breeze whistled a lullaby to me as I fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     I felt slapping against my cheek and I stretched my arms. I opened my eyes and yawned. I blinked a few times and snarled. "What do you want...!" I snorted to Two-bit.

     "Scoot over!" Two-bit exclaimed.

     I huffed and sat up. Two-bit sat beside me eating his chocolate cake and guzzling his beer... Like yesterday. I jumped up and grabbed some jeans and a shirt. Soda exited the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. I therefore entered the bathroom, got changed and came back out. I stuffed my dirty clothes is the washer and started it.

     "Darry, do you know where my white shirt is?" Soda called.

     "Nope, little buddy..." Darry replied.

     I looked down at my shirt. I had it on... "I'm wearing it!" I called to him.

     "I'm gonna need that!" Soda called back.

     "Oh yeah! I think I have a pair of your jeans on..." I yelled back.

     "Dang, Summer... Tryin' to tease good ol' Soda here?" Two-bit teased.

     "Shut up, Two-bit! You're lucky I don't jump ya! You woke me up early!!!" I spat.

     "I can't help my daily routine!"

     I rolled my eyes and snorted. "Don't make me beat your head in, Two-bit Matthews!!!!" I snapped.

     "Y'all are weird!" Ponyboy added a comment.

     "Ponyboy, hurry up! I'm not takin' ya to school!" Darry scowled.

     I threw my shirt and jeans in the dryer and grabbed a different shirt in a basket. I rushed to the bathroom and changed my shirt. "Soda, catch!" I yelled exiting the bathroom. He held out his hands and I threw his shirt at him.

     "What about my jeans?!" He asked putting on his shirt.

     "Hold your dang horses, Sodapop!" I yelped. I checked my jeans in the dryer... I figured they were dry enough so I changed again... I exited the bathroom once again. "Come grab your jeans!!" I called to him.

     Sodapop grabbed his jeans and rushed to the bathroom.

     I sat on the couch and held my knee... I rolled up my pant leg, the bandage was bloody... I had some medical experience because of my step mom... She was a nurse, she taught me everything she knew. In this case I rolled my pant leg down and leaned on the stitches, creating pressure. I acted like I was watching TV so no-one would notice. The next thing I knew Steve came barging into the door.

     "Where's Soda?" He asked.

     I replied with, "In the bathroom..." I continued to lean more on my stitches.

     "What are ya doin'?" Steve asked oddly.

     I held up my hand and pointed at the TV. I hardly could talk over myself while wincing over the pain. "I... Uh... Watching TV!" I breathed.

     Steve looked at my odd and then continued to the bathroom door. He knocked and didn't wait for a reply. "Come on, bud! We're going to be late!" He yowled immediately.

     I continued to blankly stare at the cartoons on the TV. I narrowed my eyes... I didn't put too much pressure on my leg, because I could completely reopen my wound. Two blurs crossed my path. I looked up as Steve and Soda left. "Bye!" I tried to yell before they closed the door. Ponyboy came rushing after them, yelling.

     "Wait for me!" Pony yelped. He opened the door and looked at me with a smile. "Bye, Summer!" He then turned to Two-bit. "See ya Two-bit!" He yelled as he closed the door.

     "See you later, bud!" I waved good-bye. I turned to Two-bit, "Where's Darry?"

     "He already left. What? Are you after him too?" Two-bit cracked a grin.

     I kicked him in the shen with my good leg. I cursed quickly at him before looking at the TV.

     "Fine, Fine!" He chuckled. "Summer Curtis and Sodapop Curtis..." He blurted out before taking off in the kitchen.

     "Gosh dang it, Two-bit!!!!" I growled.
