I found Love, in Another Time? (Outsiders FF)

The Curtis House

"So, how old are you?"

"13, why?" 

"Just perect" he replied with a warm smile. Okay, that was a little wierd. 

Well, we're off" Dally announced. 

"Bye" everybody said in unison. 

"Well Two-Bit, Ponyboy's gotta be home from school by now, why don't you take her to the house?" He nodded. 

I walked right besides Two-Bit, his arm securly around my shoulder. He was talking about random stuff. I could hardly keep up. 

"What was that boy's name?" 

"Huh?" 

"That boy, the dark one?"

"Oh, you mean Johnny" he said. 

"Yea, he's fourteen right?" Two-Bit shook his head. 

"No, he's sixteen acually" he replied. 

"Oh, he's quite shy, isn't he?"

"Yea, he's real jumpy too" he said. It was a bit quiet after that. There was nothing to talk about. What can I say, or ask? It was getting kinda awkward. 

"So, you've known my aunt longer than me, what is she like?" He thought for a while. 

"Well, she's a real sweetheart. She's funny, nice, pretty, and she knows how to kick ass too." 

"Oh" I responded. He starred straight ahead. Out of nowhere, he pulls me to his other side. A car drives by, honking and a guy yelled out," Hey greaser, loserville is the other way!" Two-Bit didn't response, so I did. 

"dude, I would slap you, but that's considered animal abuse!" Suddenly, the car turned around and stopped right next to us. Two guys stepped out. 

"What did you say?" 

"Are you deaf?"

"No" a guy angrily replied. 

"Then, I'm sure you heard" I sassed. 

"You little bitch, you're not worth my time" he snapped. 

"Hey, don't call her that" Two-Bit butted in. 

"You shut your trap" a guy demanded.

"Don't say that to him" I said. 

"I wasn't talking to you."

"Yea, but you were talking around me" I sassed. Both of them looked at eachother, then back at me. "Look, just get out of here." One of them was about to say something, but didn't. 

"You don't tell us what to do" one said. 

"Well, I just did" I replied. "If you aren't going to leave, then we will, we know you can talk stuff but you can't back it up." I grabbed Two-Bit's arm, and led him away from the boys who are too chicken to tell me something back.

"Woah, didn't know you were like that" Two-Bit said. I turned to him.

"Like what?" 

"A tuff girl" he replied with a small smile.

"Oh, I'm really not, that's just because they insulted you." He swung an arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer. 

"Thanks kid."

After a long time of walking, we came apon a peachish house. It was medium sized. 

"Here we are, the Curtis house" Two-Bit said. He led me up to the door, opened it, and pulled me inside. "Hello, anybody home?" 

"In here" soomeone called. Two-Bit grabbed my hand, pulling me along. He stopped and stood in the doorway, hiding me on the side. 

"Hey Darry, hey Ponyboy" he greeted. 

"Hey Two-Bit, what brings you around here?" 

"I got y'all something, I think y'all are ganna like it" he said in a sing-song voice. 

"Really, what is it?" Suddenly, he pulled me into the room. It was a kitchen. There was a guy, around 20, leaning on the counter holding a newspaper. And, a guy around 16, cookng something. 

"I got you a girlfriend, Ponyboy" TWo-Bit exclaimed. Just like the boy, I was surprised. 

"Uh, Two-Bit" the by said. 

"What, isn't she pretty?" Ponyboy seemed to be struggling to find the right words. 

"Uh... yea, she is, but-" Ponyboy was getting a deep red. I felt so bad. Poor guy. Out of nowhere, Two-Bit burst out into laughter. He walked over to Ponyboy and slapped him on the back. 

"I'm just messing with ya, dear lord, you sure can turn a deep red, Pone" he said. "This is Mary, your new kid sister; Mary, this is Darry and Ponyboy." Two-Bit pointed to each guy. 

"Hi" I said shyly. Both guys looked at me, kinda as if they knew me or something. I was feelilng more and more nervous every second that went by. 

"You look kinda like someone I know" Darry said. 

"She does, doesn't she?" 

"Yea, but I can't seem to figure out who" Darry responded. 

"It's Cyndy, Mary is Cyndy's neice" Two-Bit said. I smiled a small smile. 

"Really?" I nodded. 

"Wow, how old are you?" 

"13" I replied. 

"You're as old as your aunt when she first came here" Ponyboy said. He looked like Sodapop. Cute. He looks like those rare guys that are kind and sweet. Wonder if he really is. 

"You can share a room with Ponyboy" Darry offered. 

"A-are you sure?" He nodded.

"Yea, he won't mind" he responded. 

"Well, it seems kinda odd to be sharing a room with a guy" I said shyly. 

"You'll be fine, girly, he don't bite" Two-Bit joked, swinging an arm around me. 

"Okay" I replied with a small smile.
