Breaking Rules

"Sophia, why are you doing this?" he asks me softly.

I finally open my eyes and look up at him through my hooded eyelids.

"I know that after the alcohol wears off, and I return home that I won't get this chance again," I say.

Steve nods and leans down and kisses my forehead.

"So for tonight, we can pretend" I whisper, "pretend that my father isn't some jerk who hates Greasers and that we live in a world without prejudice," I say.

Rated T for minor violence, and mild language.
