Flip You

Chapter 6

     "Happy birthday, Sarah." I said, waking her up
     "Thanks, Susan."
     "Come on, get dressed, I'm taking you clothes shopping." I said
     She put on a simple black shirt and jeans. I put on a purple sweatshirt and jeans. I made sure we didn't look like greasers; I'm not letting us get jumped. "Won't you be cold in that?" I asked her
     "I'll be fine." She said
     We went to a couple stores and got her a leather jacket. Thirty bucks, are you kidding me? We were out for an hour or two and decided to go see the guys. "You're sixteen now, right?" I asked Sarah
     "Yeah." She said
     "Hey, guys." I said, as we walked inside
     I was greeted by a puff of smoke from Sodapop. I started to cough. "Oh, sorry, Susan. Hey Sarah." He said
     "Hey, Sodapop." She said
     "I heard it's your birthday." He said
     She looked at me with a mild shocked expression. "I don't know why he wanted to know, he wouldn't leave me alone." I explained
     "I wanted to know, because Johnny wanted to know. He was too shy to ask." He explained
     "Hello, people." Dally said, as he walked through the door with Two-bit and, Steve, and Johnny
     "Speak of the devil." I said, giving Dallas a kiss
     "Hey, Sarah." Johnny said
     "Hi, Johnny."
     "Um, Dally helped me steal this for you. Happy birthday." He said
     He handed her a black handled switchblade. She flicked it open and looked at it, mezmorized. "Thank you, Johnny, you didn't have to do that." She gave him a hug
     I inched over to Dally. "He likes her, don't he?" I asked him
     "He does. You think they could make it work?" He asked
     "Maybe, I'd be apprehensive about it, though." I said
     "Why's that?" He asked
     "I know how you are with Johnny, and if she hurts his heart, you might hurt her." I explained
     "Hey," he made my eyes meet his, "I love you, and I know that if I hurt Sarah, you will hurt me."
     I hugged him, tight. Did he really just say he loves me? I can't believe he said it first. "I love you, too." I kissed him
     I started coughing. "You ok?" Two-bit asked me
     "Yeah, I'm fine, I might be getting sick, but I'm ok." I said
     We carried on with the rest of the day. Dally suggested that we all go to Bucks to celebrate Sarah's birthday, but she declined his offer. We all kinda lazed around for the rest of the day. We finally decided to go to The Dingo. "Did you have a good birthday, Sarah?" I asked her
     "Yeah, I did." She said
     "Good, come on, let's go home; we'll see you guys later." I said
     "Be careful." They said
     We made it home safe and I asked her, "Hey, Sarah, what do you think of Johnny?"
     "He's really sweet, I like him."
     "Goodnight, Sarah."
     "Goodnight, Susan."
