Living with Dallas Winston is a living hell, especially if you're his sister. But Sodapop gets Kimberly's mind off things. Despite being close for years now, Kimberly feels like there is more...
So Soda asked me to go to a restaurant with him this evening and I'm excited. Steve told me a little bit about it, he said it was kind of fancy, but not over the top. I have no idea what he means but I guess that means casual formal?

She wore this with a leather jacket and some torn converse, considering she has no other shoes except for work.
I walk out of Soda's room, the only people home are Pony, Soda and I. Soda was outside at the car waiting for me.
"You look great" Ponyboy said then popping a cancer stick in his mouth. I grab it and throw it in the trash.
"You know, I hate when you smoke those, your 13." I said while walking out of the house. "See ya"
Ponyboy sighed "Im 14! Have fun I guess" He really is addicted to those things.
"Kim... You look beautiful" Soda said giving me a kiss on the cheek.
We hop into the car and listen to the radio on our way there. When we get there the place is beautiful, Steve was right, it's not over the top but it isn't fancy nor formal. (If there's a difference?) "Suprise? Kind of" Soda said glancing at me
"You really didn't have to, we could've stayed in town and gone somewhere else. I don't deserve this. And on top of that, this place looks expensive"
"Don't worry about it, I'm not that poor" He said pouting.
"Oh, honey yes you are" We both giggled.
We walk in and are greeted by a nice young woman. "Welcome! How many tables?"
"Uh, just 1 please." Soda says nicely.
"Yes sir, right this way." We are walked towards the back of the restaurant, it is nicely decorated."
We sit down and we're reading the menus, and making small talk. Soda was acting kind of uneasy, he keeps looking down. "So, what are you getting soda?"
"Oh uh I don't know yet, the salad looks good I guess." Salad? Since when did this boy like salad?
I scoffed. "No really what are you getting? What's wrong your acting weird." I've known Soda long enough, I can read him like an open book so I can tell when something is bothering him.
"It's nothing really. I just can't believe there are no pancakes on this menu" He said letting out a small laugh. yeah, a fake one.
"Maybe because it's noon? I don't know Soda your acting weird but I'm gonna pretend that you not" I say putting my elbows on the table. The waitress eventually comes to our table.
"Hey my name is Jessica I will be your waitr- Woah, hello there handsome" She said with a smirk looking right at Soda. He was about to say something but I cut him off.
"Woah hey there single bitch, you wanna get your eyes off my boyfriend? He's clearly taken considering we're on a date?" I say eyeing her down.
She scoffs. "Ha okay greaser, get your dirty elbows off the table and then maybe I'll get my eyes off your boyfriend."
"I'm gonna pretend that you didn't call me dirty." I was surprised Soda hasn't jumped in yet, he would be breaking up the argument now bc that boy is a lover, not a fighter that's for sure. But he never did defend me or break up the fight, he just looked like he was trying to hide his face or something.
"Because you can't hand the truth sweetie, you dirty greaser." She said rolling her eyes. She then starting yelling. "Sandy! I'm not dealing with these losers, you be their waitress!" She said yelling across the store. I'm hoping she's not talking about the same Sandy I'm thinking about.
"What now Jessica? you're always starting problems with people, that's why we get no custom- well well well, now I would've started a fight too if I saw this girl." I look over and Its Sandy, sandy who cheated on soda sandy.
"What do you want, you cheater? You and your perverted boyfriend have kids now? because that belly of yours is getting pretty big" I say eyeing her down.
"Actually this belly of mine does have a kid in it, SODAS KID" She says looking right at me.
"Very funny, can we order now im starving and I might lose my appetite if I keep looking at your fatass." (I wouldn't body shame IRL lol, it''s just for the story)
"No really, why do you think Soda was trying to hide his precious face."
I look over at soda and he has like 3 different looks on his face. 1-confused, - defeated 3-angry. And I can't blame him if someone was accusing me of being their baby daddy too.
"Whatever, let's leave Soda I know we shouldn't have come here." I say getting up, he gets up with me, but says something different.
"Actually Kimberly... I need to talk to Sandy, I mean considering shes pr-" I cut him off.
"You actually believe this whore? okay stay, ill walk home." I say getting up and walking out of the restaurant. After walking 3 steps I realized that I wasn't gonna be able to walk all the way home, so I went back inside.
After walking back into the store all I heard was yelling between Soda and Sandy
I wasn't really listening but I heard a few things, like "ITS YOUR BABY!!" "YOUR MAKING THE BABY STRESSED" And stuff like that.
I'm not playing these games so I asked the nice young lady if I can use the phone to call someone to pick me up. She was so nice and she said yes. The problem is I don't know who to call, If I call Dally, he'll kill Sodasame thing with two-bit and steve, pony and johnny can't drive. So that just leaves me with one of my coworkers, who is a fellow greaser and actually goes to my school, but Idk if she drives and we aren't THAT close.
"Hey Stephanie, Its Kimberly"
"Oh hay homegirl, what's up?"
"I'm kind of stranded at a restaurant out of town, I was wondering if you can pick me up."
"Oh my gosh girl I wish I could but my car is in the shop, that's what happens when your drink and drive!" She says laughing hysterically.
Stephanie has a lot of personality and she is kind of reckless and lives in the moment if you can't tell. But she actually is really smart, well book smart, not street smart.
"Oh,thats fine. Well,have a safe night." I say hanging up. Then my eyes start watering. I can still hear soda and sandy arguing in the background.
"Oh my gosh,dont cry!!" The nice host says to me. "My shift ends in 5 minutes I can give you a ride if you'd like."
Thanks for reading!! I hope it's decent? Anyways bye :)
