Broken || The Outsiders

"An outsider?" I asked. "Yeah, an outsider."

Rainn's P.O.V.
(May 13, 1953)

We all walked into the Curtis' house. Cheering, happy, like nothing bad could happen since this just happened to all of us. Most of the boys had beers in their hands while others yelled. I smiled putting my keys by the door and taking off my boots. I put the bag on the kitchen table. The boys gathered around and watched the bag closely. I unzipped it looking inside, which had a new leather jacket and gloves. I pulled them out and looked on the back of it. It had basket case on it. I smirked, "How'd they do that do fast?" I shrugged. I pulled out the gloves, they were gloves so I could grip the steering wheel. They were lace and black. I smirked putting them back and the jacket. I pulled out my money in the side pocket, counting it.

"100," I paused putting it down, "200." I kept going till I had $2,000. I looked up at them, "You said Saturday too, right?" Steve nodded. "Good. Darry, my stuff is still in the back of your truck, can I leave it here?" He nodded walking to his car. I looked back at the guys, "Now what?" I put the money in the side pocket and I put my stuff by the door.

"I have cards." Soda said. "Okay, poker? Hearts? Spider? Black jack? Cab? Speed? Bets?" I named off. "Poker." Steve said laughing. He sat at the table and I did too. "Who else playing?" Soda said sitting down across me. Two sat down across from Steve. Soda deal in. I got poker chips and gave them to Soda too. I looked at my hand then at the boys seeing there faces. Two went first and we went around.

---After game---

So I won big time. I have Two switch, Steve comb, and Soda owes me $20. I smiled taking their things, "I'm kidding I can't take your things." I gave it all back. "Rainn, you won." "And?" "We playing again?" "No." They all stood up. I chuckled giving the cards back to Soda.

I walked back to the living room. "Rainn?" I looked up seeing Pony. "Yeah?" He pointed back to the hall. I stood up following behind him walking into his room, he closed the door then turned back towards me, "Listen, I need you to do something for me." I crossed my arms, "Okay, ask away."

"There's this girl, Lucy, that I like, but I have no idea how to talk to her or ask her. I tried talking to Soda but he's just, not the point, I need help so I'm asking you." I nodded sitting down on the bed, then he followed sitting next to me, "What exactly do you need help with?" "A conversation starter, I'm a goof, I can't just come out and talk to her." I grinned, "That right there is a big thing girls like." "A person who can't talk to them without puking?" I chuckled, "No, someone with a sense of humor. Look at it like this, don't be as stupid as Two, but not as dumb as Steve." He chuckled, "So how do I talk to her?" I shrugged, "What's she like?"

He grinned looking away, "She's beautiful, she has long brown silky hair that stops right at her forearm. Her eyes are icy blue with white sparkles in them. She has perfect skin, as smooth as a baby's. She has this cute laugh, when she smiles or even walks into a room, man, it's just amazing. She has dimples, which makes that smile of hers even more cute. She's very smart, god she probably knows ever word in the dictionary. I never got around to talking to her so I don't know really much about her."

I smiled, "Ponyboy, you are in love with this girl." "In love?" I nodded, "The way you talk about her, I can just tell you have deep feelings for her." He blushed, "Yeah. She's also a greaser, she's not like all of us though, she's like me, just not into fighting and an image, she's an," he paused. "An outsider?" I asked. "Yeah, an outsider." "Well from the way you talk about her you should find out more about her, why don't you invite her over sometime, maybe tomorrow? Do you have her number?" "Rainn, I can barley talk to her, let alone walk past her. How do you think I have her number?" I nodded, "Right. Well give it to Monday and ask her out. I mean look at you no one can say no." He smiled.
