Lets start from the vary beginning. My names Hazel Cora Owens, I am 19 years old, I am the daughter of Cora Owens and Mathew Owens, My fathers a deadbeat father who hates me, I spend most of my time if not all of my time hanging out with my real family The Gang. The gang consists of me, Sodapop Curtis, Darrel Curtis, Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, Steve Randel, Two-Bit Matthews, and the famous Dallas Winston. My all time best friend and past lover was Sodapop Patrick Curtis. He's my best friend, my ride or die, my one and only blood brother. It was a pretty hot afternoon and Darry came home from work early today. He was grilling lunch while Sodapop, Steve, Pony, Johnny, Two-Bit, and Dallas played football out in the front yard. Sodapop tried getting me to play but with Dally on the field there was no chance I was joining that game. I watched from the sidelines and cheered on my favorite team which held Sodapop, Steve, and Two-Bit. Dallas was not on his A game today I just assumed he was hungover as he is every other day. I sat on the Curtis house porch trying to seek shelter from the blazing hot sun burning my skin to a crisp. I wore a black tank-top and a pair of baby blue high-waisted shorts with my ring I always wear, well its my moms ring but I wear it to have a piece of her with me always. I cheered on as I heard my name being called from Darry "Haze, come help me set the table!" he yelled from inside the house. I cheered one last time and jumped up, walking into the even hotter house "Its like a million degrees in here superman!" I joked and started to set the table as I used a napkin to fan myself. Darry chucked and shook his head softly "your glad I like you or else you would have you skinned!" I laughed softly "skin me, see if I care" I said as I finished setting the table. I called the boys in and sat down with a ice cold beer in front of my plate holding a burger and fries. The boys came running in and grabbing the food, "jeez you guys act like Darry does feed you enough" I said with slight sarcasm and took a bite out of my burger "this is amazing superman, thanks you." A wave of thank you's followed after me and a smile appeared on Darry's face. I loved seeing the boys smile all of their smiles were different. Sodapop had a movie star smile anyone could love, Johnny had a soft smile that showed a lot more emotion than just a simple happy smile, Two's was always exaggerated, Pony's smile was perfectly perfect, Steve's was always goofy, Darry's was always filled with care, and Dallas had multiple different smiles but the one he used around us was just as scared as Johnny's. I watched the boys fight over who got the last bit of fries and take each others food of their plates. "Hey! Who wants Dairy Queen?!" I asked with a smile growing on my face. They all jumped up and nodded, I hear "Me!" be thrown around like the football they played with In the front. I laughed as I stood up and divided the rest of my food between each boy "who would like to join me on my quest to the DQ?" I giggle at myself as I watched Johnny and Pony slowly raise their hands. I smile and nod "lets go. Superman, can I barrow your truck? I promise I wont hurt it" I giggle softly as I watch him point to the keys laying in a glass bowl on the kitchen counter. I swipe the keys and take everybody's order. Sodapop- Chocolate Milkshake, Steve- Chocolate Milkshake, extra chocolate, Two-Bit- Ice cream cone dipped in cherry, Darry- Vanilla and Chocolate swirl cone, Dally- Dilly Bar, Ponyboy- Ice cream cone, plain vanilla, and finally Johnny- Oreo blizzard. I order the same as Dallas, I love dilly bars they are probably my favorite thing at Dairy Queen. As Johnny, Pony, and I venture off to the Dairy Queen secrets are reviled back at the Curtis house. Sodapop, Dallas, and Steve played truth of dare. While the boys played, Dallas was lost in this thoughts. He couldn't stop thinking about Hazel, his mind raced with reasons why he shouldn't like her. He thought 'I'm not good enough for a girl like her, she deserves someone like Sodapop, or Steve' but the thought of her with any other guy angered him. His mind thought negative as his heart ached for her love. He thought about her cute smile and the way she acts when she's mad, his blush darkened. He stood up and coughed nervously hoping they didn't see his blush. He looked away. Sodapop frowned "where are you going Dal?" He asked with slight concern. He replied with a simple "Outside for a smoke" and looked down at Steve "do you got a cancer stick?". Steve nodded and handed him one. Dallas walked outside and lit his cigarette. He thought long and hard about the situation he was in and bit his lip softly. He didn't wanna hurt her, but he also couldn't stand the thought of not being with her. Hazel, Ponyboy, and Johnny came home with the sugary treats and handed them out to their owner. Hazel handed Dal his and smiled softly, sitting next to him. Dallas gave her his award winning smirk/smile and put his weed out. Hazel smiles back "what's up Dal?". Sally shrugged "Nothin much hun" he looked down and took a bite from his ice cream. Hazel smiled and nodded "that's nice." Dally looked over at her "Hey, I gotta ask you something." Hazel smiled and nodded "anything. You know you can ask me anything!" Dallas nodded and smiled softly "let me take you out on a date" he said with slight confidence. Hazel smiled widely and dropped her ice cream "yes!" She looked down at her now spilt ice cream and frowned "oh no. This is your fault! She joked. Dallas laughed "how is it my fault?!" Hazel laughed "you distracted me with your question!" Dallas smiled and handed her his "we can share mine" he smiled softly. She took a bite and handed it back to him. Dallas smiles "I'll pick you up at 8 for our date".
- 8 that night -
Hazel dressed in a white tank top and her dark blue skinny jeans and her leather jacket. She left her hair down and put on some makeup. Dallas waits outside for her, leaning on his cherry red t-bird. Hazel walked out smiling as soon as she seen him. She walked over to his car and blushed softly "hey Dally". Dallas smiles ear to ear and opened her door for her "hey beautiful". He shut the door as soon as she got in and got in his side. Hazel asked "where are we going?". Dallas smiles "I'm treating you to a party". Hazel smiled widely, she had never been to a party with him and was excited to be going as his girl. They parted all night long and by the morning, she woke up in his bed with clothes all over the floor. She didn't care that they were drunk when it happened, she was just happy that it was with him. She looked over at Dallas smiling widely thinking "I'm so happy in his girl"
