"When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind. Paul Newman, and a ride home"

"DALLAS you are bad!" I laughed as we stumbled out of the theater from laughter. Getting to see this side of Dally is fun. The side where it's just goofing off, no fuzz, no seriousness, just being kids.

We started walking to the Curtis' house figuring the gang would be there, "So how bout you and Pony, what's goin on with you two?" Dally said while lighting a cigarette with his locket around his neck.

"Nothing much. I dig him, but right now we're nothin more than friends" I sighed looked down at the ground while we walked.

"I can tell he feels the same way. Just the way he's always starin at you and always talks about you" He blows a smoke ring and glances at me for my reaction, "Well it doesn't seem like it. But I don't really either so".

He could tell I was frowning a little and tried giving me a little advice, "I think you should start making moves on him. Let him know you want him, guys go crazy for that".

Part of me wasn't expecting that kind of advice from Dallas, it seemed down to earth like he meant it, "Thanks Dal, you're a good friend to have" I said with the corners of my lips rising slightly looking up at him.

His eyes had excitement and joy in them. He's attractive, in a different way than someone like Sodapop. His eyebrows protrude casting a shadow over his eyes. It makes him have a natural toughness just by first glance. I could never have feelings for him though, whether I like it or not I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Ponyboy.

"Heya Greaser!" Two-Bit boomed while grabbing mine and Dallys shoulder, "Hey Two-Butt" I giggled into his face.

"Ellie-belly" He mocked slightly shoving me. Him and I have a sort of relationship like siblings, we make fun of each other all the time but we both know how much we love each other.

It looks like everyone was having a smoke on the porch, well besides Sodapop, "Hey El, hey Dal. What have you guys been up too?" Soda asked with a sterner tone.

"Just hanging out. I skipped a few classes cause I've been a little stressed" I shrugged. His face seemed to soften with my reply. Did he see me earlier? Well it's not a bad thing if he saw me, technically. Just me in my underwear with Dally...
