Back In Time

Chapter 5

I was wondering what I should wear. I mean, I wasn't wearing clothes that you would wear on this occasion. Ironically, there was $34.00 in my pocket.

I went to the nearest shop and got some new clothes just to wear for tonight.

I went in the store and started looking. There were a bunch of greasers in the store, so I figured I was in the right place.

I went to the rack with the dresses. I found a white dress with see through sleeves and it had a brown belt around the waist. It was beautiful and on sale for $10.00. I picked up the dress and went to the shoes. I just picked up a pair of white converse that was also $10.00. I payed for the stuff and went on my way.

After I paid, I went into the dressing room. I took off all the tags and put the clothes on. I put my old clothes in the bag.

I put the bag with all the old clothes in a tree near the lot so no one could steal them. I started walking to the Curtis house. I was trying to figure out what I was doing. Going on a "date" with someone from 1964, but I couldn't help it. My mother will kill me if she heard me say that I was in love with a greaser. I mean she was a "Soc" as you call it, but in this time I'm a greaser. I shouldn't be here.

I kept on telling myself that. Soon I was at the Curtis household. I knocked on the door and put my best smile on. Darry answered the door. " Oh, hello Peyton. Come in." I said okay and went inside. " Ponyboy is still getting dressed." Darry told me. I chuckled a bit. " Soda, see if Pone is ready. Tell him Peyton is here." " Okay!" Sodapop yelled from the other room.

I sat on the couch and waited for Ponyboy. Sooner or later he finally came out handsome as ever. " Hey Peyton. You look-" he paused for a second giving me a good look up and down, " beautiful." I blushed. " Thanks, are you ready?" I asked with a big smile on my face. " Yeah. Bye guys!" Ponyboy shouted as we went out the door. Everyone said bye and we went on.

As we were walking towards the diner, I was lost in thought when Pony said my name.. more like my mom's name.
