  Soda, (Y/n) and Steve had been best friends since they had meet. But lately Soda had been noticing things that he shouldn't as a friend. He noticed how her hair sparkled in the sun, they way she concentrated when she was reading a book or doing her homework. He noticed that (Y/n) would play with the hair that would fall out of her braided hair, twirling it around her finger while she was in deep thought or something. This time (Y/n) was sitting on the porch watching the guys play football. She would normally play but she was tired and didn't feel like playing. (Y/n) laughed as the guys fumbled the ball and started yelling at each other. When they saw she was laughing they all started laughing as well. (Y/n) was kind of like a peace keeper in the house, when they were fighting she would straighten things out and everyone got along again. Secretly she liked Soda, she had for a long time. They had always been friends but when she started to feel more for him she just pushed the feelings away. She didn't want Soda to know because he had Sandy. He had been ditched by Sandy and he was really sad. (Y/n) and Steve were there for him but the whole time (Y/n) was jealous of Sandy. She always wanted it to be her not Sandy as Soda's girlfriend. (Y/n) kept quiet not wanting Soda to know but inside she was angry and sad. (Y/n) was a very pretty girl, every guy in the school noticed that. The Socs hit on her even though she was a greaser. She never paid any attention to them though. She always sat with Two-Bit, Johnny, and Ponyboy at school. She influenced some of the Socs to not beat up Johnny and Ponyboy. She knew that Darry was always worried about them especially when Two-Bit decided to ditch school. Darry knew if Two-Bit wasn't there to protect them that they would most likely get beat up. Two-Bit tried to go to school as much as possible but he got drunk a lot. (Y/n) smiled to herself as she sat on the porch remembering all the football games she participated in. In one game Dally had tackled her and she had gotten a broken leg. Soda and Steve told her not to play any more football but (Y/n) didn't listen. She kept playing and kept getting hurt. She always laughed it off and joined in another time. Soda and Steve were always on the same team with (Y/n), sometimes they would have Darry but most of the time it was Pony. The teams were pretty even, with Dally, Two-Bit, Johnny and Darry on one team and (Y/n), Steve, Soda, and Pony on the other. (Y/n) was a surprisingly good football player against everybody's thoughts. She was fast and good at catching the football. Only Pony could catch her but since they were normally on the same team (Y/n) didn't need to worry about him. She was very evasive as well, she was very good at dodging and weaving through the defense. Most games they won. Today (Y/n) and Johnny were sitting out watching Soda, Steve and Pony play against Darry, Dally, and Two-Bit. Soda's team was winning but Darry tied them with a touchdown pass to Dally. (Y/n) cheered for both teams as they played, she liked to support all of her friends. After the game was over she went inside and sat on the couch, she liked to sit right in the middle, it was sort of her spot. She leaned back and closed her eyes. She felt the couch dip on both sides. She smelled hair grease and car oil. She concluded that it was Soda and Steve. She opened her eyes to see her two best friends staring at her. She smiled at them.
"So... (Y/n) do we get a reward for winning the game without you? It was a pretty tough game"
"Okay"
What Steve meant by a reward was a kiss on the cheek. (Y/n) was used to giving everyone in the gang kisses. She leaned over and gave Steve a kiss on the cheek. Then turned to the other side and gave one to Soda. Soda blushed a little and smiled at (Y/n). Only Steve and Pony knew that Soda liked (Y/n). Nobody knew that (Y/n) liked Soda. (Y/n) leaned back yet again and closed her eyes, a smile tugging on her lips. Soda noticed that and started staring at her, noticing every little thing she did. (Y/n) felt that eyes were on her and she opened hers to look around the room. She saw Soda staring at her, when she looked at him he looked down. (Y/n) watched Soda's strange reaction but ignored it. She got up and went to her room down the hall. Soda watched her go wondering why he liked a girl that would never like him back.

In (Y/n)'s room
(Y/n) laid down on her bed, she was thinking about Soda. She smiled when she thought about his smile, his laugh, the way he teases Darry and gets away with it. She wondered why she likes somebody who could never like her back... He was still sad about Sandy right? (Y/n) stayed in her room thinking for so long that before she knew it Darry was calling her to dinner.
"(Y/n)! Dinner is ready!"
"Okay!"
(Y/n) left her room and went to the table. She saw that only Johnny was still at the house.
"Hey Johnnycakes"
"Hi (Y/n)"
"Are you staying here tonight?"
"I think so..."
Johnny looked at Darry like he was asking for permission.
"Johnny you know that you don't have to ask, you can stay here any time you want"
"Thanks (Y/n)... It doesn't feel right not asking"
"She's right Johnny"
"Thanks Darry"
"No problem kiddo"
They had a nice peaceful dinner. Afterward it was (Y/n) and Soda's turn to do the dishes, since Darry and Pony made dinner. Soda and (Y/n) got to work on the dishes, (Y/n) was washing and Soda was drying and putting them away. (Y/n) almost dropped a plate when Soda's hand brushed hers. Luckily Soda caught the plate.
"Sorry Soda, I thought you had it"
"Its okay"
Soda smiled at her, taking in her blushing face. He had brushed her had on purpose to see her reaction. She reacted and he decided. He decided that he was going to tell her that night. The rest of the dish washing went without problem. (Y/n) sat on the floor in the living room and started doing her homework. It was a Saturday and Darry thought that she had already did all of it.
"Hey (Y/n), I thought you finished all of your homework"
"I forgot about this one assignment for math"
"Oh. Did you need some help?"
"Umm... I think I can do it"
"Just ask if you need help"
"Okay"
(Y/n) started on her math. Soda watched as she did the math problems in her head, every once and a while she would have a problem and have to do the math on the paper. When some of her calculations didn't add up she would make a face then redo her math. After a few minutes she had finished. (Y/n) had never been the best at math but she always asked for help when she needed it. Pony always helped her as well. She put away her homework and looked at Pony. He smiled back and asked,
"Have any problems (Y/n)?"
"Nope, that math was pretty easy"
"Cool... Do you want to watch the horror movie marathon that is on tonight?"
"Umm... I guess"
"Sweet"
(Y/n) had never been a fan of horror movies.
"Soda, you in?"
"Definitely"
"Darry?"
"Sorry guys not tonight, I'm pretty tired. You guys have fun"
"Okay"
"Johnny?"
"I'm in"
"Cool"
Darry went off to bed and Pony turned on the t.v. (Y/n) sat in between Soda and Pony on the couch, while Johnny sat in the armchair. All three boys knew (Y/n) wasn't a fan of horror movies. Normally when they watched horror movies (Y/n) clung onto Soda or Steve. That reaction was what Soda was hoping for. (Y/n) started to get scared from the very first scene in the movie. She was holding Soda's hand and clinging to his shirt. Soda had his arm around her and was rubbing her arm soothingly. At the first murder scene (Y/n) buried her face into Soda's shoulder. Soda smiled at her reaction. He pulled her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her. (Y/n) wasn't concerned in this action. As best friends they did that all the time, especially during horror movies. (Y/n) kept her head buried in Soda's shoulder the rest of the movie. She was the same way during the second and third movie. At the start of the fourth movie both Johnny and Pony had fallen asleep. (Y/n) got up off of Soda's lap and turned off the t.v. She turned to Soda and motioned to Pony. She wanted him to cover him with a blanket. She would do the same thing to Johnny. Soda nodded and went to the closet. He came back with two blankets. He handed one to (Y/n) and draped the other one over Pony. (Y/n) walked over to Johnny and wrapped the blanket around him. She smiled at him and looked at Soda. They both started walking down the hall. They stopped in front of Soda and Pony's room.
"Good night Soda"
"(Y/n)... Can I tell you something?"
"Of course"
"I... I-I really l-like you"
"Really?"
"Yes... If you don't feel the same-"
"I like you too Soda"
"Really?"
"Yes"
Soda leaned down and kissed (Y/n). She put her hand on his cheek. They pulled away and (Y/n) looked down.
"What's wrong?"
"I... I thought you were sad about Sandy"
"I was... Then I realized how much you really meant to me and the more I thought about it the more I liked you and before I knew it I wasn't sad about Sandy anymore"
"Oh... All this time I thought you would never like me because you loved Sandy"
"Sorry"
"Its okay... I'm glad that you like me too... I'm also glad that I decided to 'watch' that movie marathon"
"Why? You were terrified the entire time"
"It led to this"
(Y/n) stood on her tiptoes and pecked Soda's lips. She took a few steps back and Soda gave her a look of confusion. She smiled at him and kept backing up. He realized what she was doing and smiled back. He started stepping towards her. When (Y/n)'s back hit her bedroom door she opened it and went inside. Soda came in and closed the door. (Y/n) sat down on the bed and smiled at Soda.
"Why didn't you say anything sooner?"
"I didn't think you liked me back"
"That should be my line"
"Why?"
"You were really sad about Sandy and you could have any girl in Tulsa... So why choose me?"
"You were the only girl that stayed with me no matter what. You were there for me when I was sad. Your always here for me"
"Oh"
(Y/n) lay down on her bed and closed her eyes. She moved on the bed so that she was laying correctly and there was enough room for Soda to lie down. Soda seemed to get the message and lay down next to (Y/n). She leaned into his shoulder and fell asleep. Soda wrapped his arm around her and fell asleep a few moments later.

The next morning
Darry opened (Y/n)'s door to see his 16 year old brother laying with his arms around (Y/n), sleeping soundly. He smiled, closed the door and walked out to the living room. He saw his youngest brother sitting on the couch asleep with a blanket draped over his shoulders. He looked over at Johnny, he was sitting in the armchair with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders. Darry laughed to himself and went into the kitchen. He made some coffee and started reading the newspaper. This was going to be an interesting day.
