It all started with the sound of a knife against car windows on a sticky, humid day. Although it was four in the afternoon, the katydids were already chirping, most likely singing for the rain to come sooner.
Even in the humid heat the Socs still wanted to start trouble. They were playing Yellow Submarine by the Beatles full blast from their car and yelling at a few greasers. It was too hot for anyone to start a fight, but the rude jerks could still annoy people since they didn't have anything better to do.
Steve's eardrums hurt with the noise. He went out and was about to yell at the Socs, but he saw a girl cutting his car windows. He bolted to her, clutching his fists. If this day hadn't gotten any worse. Soda was sick so the main customers (which were mostly girls) didn't come. That cut two-thirds of their business that day. Only Larry (a redneck who was always breaking his motorcycle), and a few other travelers who just bought a couple snacks and some Camels. Dally had heeled over because he refused to take off his leather jacket, and the manager had yelled at Steve because he had yelled at a whiny little girl. Now the Socs were playing that stupid song full blast and a girl was cutting his windows and most likely slashed his tires. Dammit can a day get any worse?
"HEY!" Steve yelled and grabbed her forearm. She squeaked. Then he saw her face. She was beautiful. Sandy blonde hair, brown eyes, and perfect makeup. She was dressed in leather shirt and skin tight jeans even though the heat. Really stupid outfit choice for the weather, but it did look sexy. Her hair was curled and shorter. Steve almost drooled. Ever since he dumped Evie, he hadn't found a girl for himself.
"Woah down boy," she escaped his grip. "Was just havin' a little fun, is all." Steve rest his arm against the car window.
"You know this is my car, right?" He pointed to the window scratches. She grinned.
"Oh this is your car? Gee I'm so sorry," she said sarcastically. She took the blade to her lips. "You won't tell will you Stevie?"
Steve jumped in surprise. "How'd you know my name?"
The mysterious girl grabbed ahold of his vest, and smiling, gave a slight giggle at Steve's gaping mouth. She wiped the sweat off of his chest slowly. "You got a little name tag there."
Steve looked down. Yeah, he thought. What is wrong with me? He stared at his shoes as the girl looked at his tires. She had already slashed them.
"My name's Jessy. You know I did hijack your car. I am kinda hot, would you mind givin' me a ride?" She sounded so innocent. She had already flipped her blade away, and Steve kinda gave a weary grin. It was too hot to argue with anyone today, might as well give the kid a ride. And besides, maybe he could ask her out, if he saw her again.
"I have to change out new tires first, Jess, since you slashed them."
Now, Steve knew he could change tires faster than anyone, but this tire job seem like the longest one he's ever done. Wether it was from the heat, from the girl, or from both, he didn't know at the moment.
