Good Girls Like Bad Boys

Chapter 11

I got home around 12. Great, 4 hours to get ready. I ran upstairs and collapsed on my bed. I couldn't stop thinking about Dally. I missed him even though I'd seen him 10 minutes ago. I wished he was with me even though he wasn't far away. Is that what loves like? Wishing they were with you, missing them all day everyday? If it was I liked it. It was like an ache in my heart I could get used to.

I was lying on my bed thinking, mainly about Dally. When I sat up and saw the time I was more than shocked. It was 3 o'clock. I knew I had time to get ready, but how can you spend 3 hours thinking and not get disturbed by boredom?

I got up and walked over to my wardrobe. I pulled out a white dress, it was quite warm today - summer weather. I also got out my light blue denim jacket, in case I got cold. I pulled my hair up into a messy ponytail and pulled a few bits down at the front, finishing it off with a light pink bow. My hair always annoys me, it was too curly and frizzy to do anything nice with. I could never get it to go straight, I guess I'd have to live with it how it is. My makeup was just some light foundation with blusher, mascara and bright pink lips.

I thought I looked decent once I was done and dressed. It was 3.50 when I was done and I thought I'd leave at 4 so I could get there earlier then I said I would. I was really excited about meeting the girls. I'd finally not be the only girl! I really hoped that they all worked out well because I don't want to be the only girl again, is that selfish?

I walked down stairs and grabbed a glass of pepsi. Then I walked through to the living room and read the final chapter of 'Of Mice and Men.' By the end it was 4.05 but I was crying because of what happens and I needed to redo my mascara. I quickly ran upstairs and washed my eyes. I re-did my mascara, ran back down stairs, laced up my light pink converse and ran out the door.

***

I arrived at the Curtis' at 4.30, bang on. So much for me being early. I walked through the door and barely anyone was there, well compared to usual. There was no Two, Darry, Johnny, Dally, Ponyboy or Soda. 'Where was Dally he said he'd be here at 4.30' I thought whilst I sat down. Steve was here though. "Where's Grace?" I asked him.

"Oh she's walking down at 5. It's just down the road so it's safe enough."

Before I could reply Dally came running through the door. "Hey babe." Something was up because he kept looking out of the window.

"What have you done?" I asked, concerned.

"Nothing." He said, then he mumbled, "I only robbed a shop."

"Dally!" I yelled and hit him as I carried on, "You could get put in the cooler for that!"

"I know. But the fuzz lost me. Plus, they ain't evidence it was me."

"Fine. But if the fuzz come knocking I ain't covering for ya!"

I sat on the chair so that he couldn't sit next to me. Well that worked out great because he just sat on the arm of the chair. That was until he fell on top of me. Right then Grace walked through the door. She had her hair straight and down, she was wearing low waisted shorts and a Mickey Mouse cropped tee. Her makeup was like Marci's, she had full, red lips and heavily blushed cheeks and eyeliner. It suited her but was such a change since yesterday. "Hey babe." She said walking up to Steve and giving him a full on kiss when she got there, leaving Steve with red lips. "Hi Asha and Dally, is it?"

"Yah that's us. Hi Grace."

Right then Darry came through the door with Jordan. "Just be yourself and they'll love you." I heard Darry tell her before they entered. "Hi guys this is Jordan." Darry said as they entered. Jordan has beautiful reddy brown hair and the white bandana in her hair showed this off. Her eyes were a dark brown and she looked nervous. She had a little bit of green eyeshadow around her eyes and her lips had a thin coat of clear gloss. She was wearing pale denim jeans, black converse and an Elvis tee. She looked amazing.

Then Two and Soda came through the door beaming. Both holding hands with their girls. "Hi guys. This is Elizabeth." Soda said.

"Yeah and this is Angelina." He said to us. Then to Angelina and Elizabeth, "We'll do introductions when they're all here."

Elizabeth was just like Sodapop described her with wavy strawberry blonde hair that fell just below her shoulders, bright blue eyes and freckles that covered her nose and cheeks. She was wearing dark denim jeans and a plain white top with a red jacket. She didn't have much makeup on, from what I could tell, just a little bit of mascara and blush with pale pink lip gloss.

Angelina was also exactly how Two described her. With chocolate brown hair, just above her elbows and dark blue eyes. She was wearing dark, high waisted, denim shorts and a dark blue cropped tee. She didn't have any makeup on at all, natural beauty. She didn't need it either. She had perfect long, thick eyelashes. Her lips were a rosy pink. She was just gorgeous all over.

Then Pony and Johnny came through the door. They were both talking to their girls. "Hi guys, this is Emmalie and this is Payton." We all said hi back.

Emmalie was just as Ponyboy had described her to me. She was quite short and has long, light brown hair and dark eyes, like Jordan's. She was wearing black jeans and a floral top. She didn't have much makeup on, like the rest of them. She had mascara on and a little bit of red lipgloss. None of the girls needed makeup though.

Payton had long, dark, brown hair that fell just above her waist. She had dark brown eyes, almost like Johnny's. She was wearing light denim jeans and a plain black tee with a leather jacket. She had light purple eyeshadow on and pale pink lips. She looked perfect for Johnny.

Everyone sat down. Me and Dally on the floor, me sat on his knee, with Steve and Grace, Darry and Jordan and Ponyboy and Emmalie. Sodapop and Elizabeth and Two and Angelina were sat on the couch, the girls on their guys knees like me and Dal. Johnny and Payton were squished onto the chair. Well I say squished there was probably a lot of room left.

Then we got to introducing ourselves. After that Two piped up, "Let's play truth or dare!"

"Yeah let's. It can be a tradition when we meet someone new."
