Good Girls Like Bad Boys

Chapter 8

My dad poked his head around the door to see if Two was still there. All he did was smile at me and leave. I looked at my clock and it was 1 in the morning. Sleep time.

I walked over to my chest of drawers and pulled out my Mickey Mouse pyjamas. I went to the bathroom and washed of my makeup and pulled my hair into a loose ponytail. Then i quickly did my teeth and went back to my room, tripping over the step in the bathroom as I left. Once in my room I crawled into my bed a fell asleep.

***

I woke up at 11 to the sound of my mum and Marci arguing. It was always me and my dad or Marci and my mum who were arguing. I looked out of my window to see it raining, perfect, and then I got, well fell, out of bed. I'm so glad that it's the holidays, or I'd be dying of boredom at school.

I walked over to my wardrobe and pulled my dark blue high waisted denim jeans out and my white and blue stripy shirt. Then I walked over to my chest of drawers and pulled out my black vest top. I swear I wear the same thing everyday. Then I sat down at my dressing table and quickly put on some foundation, mascara, blusher and red lipstick. I went for a bit more today. Sometimes makeup makes me feel happier, prettier. You dig? Then I took my hair out of it ponytail and started to brush through the curls. Then I pulled it into a loose braid at the side.

I walked to the hall and laced up my black converse. Then I walked through to the kitchen, poured a glass of chocolate milk and started eating some grapes I found. I turned the radio up loud and started dancing to my favourite song that came on.

As soon as I turned the song down the phone started ringing. "I'll get it!" I yelled as I ran to the phone. "Hello."

"Asha?"

"Hi Pony!"

"Hi, would you mind coming round here? Steve says he has someone he'd like us all to meet."

"Ooh. Yeah sure I'll come over to y'all. Be there in around 10 minutes?"

"Yeah sure. See ya then." He hung up.

I ran upstairs and looked out the window. It was no longer raining but the dark grey clouds look like they would any minute. I walked over to my wardrobe and grabbed my black shoulder back. I ran back downstairs and stuffed my leather jacket in my bag. "Bye, I'm off to the Curtis'" I yelled as I walked out the door.

***

I knocked on the door at the Curtis'. Then I remembered, the door is never locked, so I just walked in.

"Ash!" I heard Two-bit yell as I walked in. "I haven't seen you in ages!" I laughed and hit him on the arm, lightly.

"Haha. Very funny." I started. "Hey, where's Steve?" I finished whilst I walked over to the couch and sat down next to Soda.

"On his way. He called about 5 minutes ago so he'll be here any minute." As if on que Steve walked in.

"Hi guys. There's someone I'd like you to meet." He motioned someone to come in. "This is Grace." Behind him walked in a stunning girl. She had straight, thick, brown hair that fell just above her elbow. She was wearing denim jeans, an Elvis top, a denim jacket and white converse. She had little makeup on but I could tell she was wearing mascara and a pale pink lipgloss.

"Hello." She said quietly.

"Stevie's got himself a broad!" Two-bit screeched.

"Shut up Two." Steve said. "Anyway, Grace, I'll introduce you. That's Keith." He said pointing to Two.

"Oi! It's Two-bit thank you very much." Steve started laughing.

"Fine. That's Two-bit. That's Ponyboy."

"Hi and you can call me Pony."

"That's Sodapop. He's my best bud. Call him Soda." Soda waved.

"Hi Grace."

"That's Johnny. That's Darrel, call him Darry and that's the only other girl....."

"You mean 'broad.'" Two interrupted.

"Fine, that's the only other broad, Asha."

"Hi Grace." I said to her.

"Hi." She replied quietly. I think she was a bit shy.

"Hey. Where's Dal?" Steve asked realising he wasn't there.

Then Dally came running through the door. "I hear Steve's got a broad!?" He shouted as he ran in. Then he saw Grace. "And this must be her.... Hi I'm Dallas, call me Dally or Dal." Grace smiled at him.

"Hi Dally." She said. Dally walked over and sat next to me. It was when he swung his arm around me I got uncomfortable. I moved his arm off of me.

"What was that for?" He yelled standing up. Great he was drunk.

"Should we play truth or dare? Then Grace can get to know us." I suggested, ignoring Dally.
