How you met Darry

You met Darry your spohmore year of highschool

It was the start of summer and your mother had convinced you to try out for the team, much to your dismay of all of them being Soc's who you didn't like. You didnt click well with them because you preferred to hang around the greasers, as the summer progressed you attended cheer camp and learned their routines. As school started you became acquainted with some guys on the football team. The one that caught your eye and made your knees weak was Darrel a.k.a Darry Curtis, you knew Stacy who was the head cheerleader, had her eye on him.

Everytime you two would start to talk after practice, she would butt in and drag him away to go for a drive in her new car that her daddy bought her. Your parents have offered to buy you a car but you didnt live that far from the school so you opted to walk to and from. You were walking home after cheer practice when you felt someone bump into you, you stumbled a bit before falling onto the sidewalk. You had scraped your hands and part of your chin, you touched the blood dripping off your chin and sighed. "I'm awful sorry about that Y/N, here let me help you up!" Darry said as he pulled you up you had gotten blood on his hand.

You pulled out your handkerchief and said "I'm sorry for getting blood on you Darry" as you wiped it off of his hand. He pulled out his own handkerchief and dabbed at your chin, you winched and pulled away. You saw the blood on his handkerchief and your eyes widened, you held yours to your chin and saw Stacy pull up. "Oh my gosh what happened?" she said from the drivers side window.

"I accidentally bumped into Y/N and she fell on the sidew-" Darry said before he was cut off by Stacy, "you need to watch where your walking newbie! You could've hurt Darry!" she yelled at you. Your face grew red with anger and you yelled back at her "well maybe he should watch where he's going! I didn't bump into him it was the other way around Stacy as he just said, now if you'll excuse me I need to get cleaned up." You started walking again and you mumbled how she was an idiot, Darry sped up beside you and said "I'm really sorry Y/N, let me walk you home, just to make sure you get there okay."

You were about to respond when Stacy honked her horn and pulled up beside you guys, "Darry, let's go for a drive, we can get a bite to eat too my daddy gave me some money!" she said in a shrill voice. You looked up at Darry as he looked at Stacy, you shook your head and started walking again, "thanks for the offer Stacy but I'm going to walk Y/N home to make sure she gets there alright." Darry jogged up to you and took your backpack from you and slung it on his shoulder. You heard Stacy scoff and sped off, probably to cry to her goons about what just happened.

"You don't have to walk me home Darry, my house is two blocks up I'll be alright, just go hang out with your girlfriend." you said in a pressed tone as you tried to get your backpack from him. Darry laughed and held your backpack over his head, you were only 4'11 while Darry was a little over 6' you jumped for your backpack but you knew it was in vain, you'd never reach it. You gave up and just started walking again and Darry followed you.

"You know Stacy isn't my girlfriend, Y/N were just friends." he said, you scoffed and retorted "well you could've fooled me, letting her hang on you like she's a monkey. You know she tells the cheer team that you guys are together all the time?" you said as you pulled out your house key. "Thanks for walking me home Darry." you reached for your backpack and he pulled it away from you, "I figured I'd help you clean yourself up since I'm the one that made you fall . . . If that's alright with you." he said with a smile.

You smiled at him too and nodded your head. You opened the door and let him in, "you can put our backpacks in the living room." you said as you pointed to the front room. You walked to the kitchen and got the first aid kit from under the sink and walked to the bathroom. When you looked in the mirror you saw how bad your chin was, you huffed and put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad and started to dab at your chin, you winced as you did so, you felt Darry take the cotton pad and say in a stern yet playful voice "I thought I was going to clean you up?"

You laughed and sat yourself on the countertop and let Darry clean you up, he told you about his parents and brothers and his "gang". You told him about your family and your older brother who passed when you were little. As the sun was setting you sighed and said "well Darry you better be getting home soon, it'll get too dark. Uh if you want I can give you a ride if you want." he smiled at you and replied "I didn't know you could drive, little miss 'I like to walk to school'" he teased. You stuck your tongue out at him as he chuckled, "No I'm fine walking home, I only live about a few minutes from here, but thanks for the offer." You guys said your goodbyes as you watched him walk out of sight. From there it was the best friendship you had.
