Sleeping On The Job

[Sodapop]

Soda sat down on the chair thinking about his old horse, Mickey. He loved that horse and always thought they would be together forever, but one day someone bought him. Soda never really thought about it till now. He was trying to make it look like he was reading a magazine while he tries to sleep. Sandy must've forgot about me, Soda kept thinking in his head. She usually comes by now.

[~Steve~]

Steve watched him from the counter. He was holding a soda in one hand and the other was in his pocket. He decided to sneak up on soda. He crept up. He made his voice sound like a soc excactly like two-bit does. "okay greaser time is up..." He tapped him on the shoulder. He waited to see what he would do.

[Sodapop]

Soda jumped up from his seat almost falling on the ground looking up to see Steve. Who you calling greaser? You are one too. He got back up from the ground and spit into a bucket. You know you sounded sorta like Two-Bit there.

[~Steve~]

He said"really?!" he looked at his reaction and luaghed. He took a sip of soda. He looked around and saw no one was really coming. He sat down next to soda. He said "yah i know i am a greaser...." He rolled his eyes and saw in his eyes that he was waiting for sandy. He punched his shoulder. He smiled at him.

Slowly Ponyboy wondered into the Gas Station. He frownd when he saw Steve. "Hey Steve. "He said in a snappy tone. He and Steve never digged each other and probely never will. His gaze light up when he saw Soda. He walked up to Sodapop and sighed sadly. "Sandy's not here? Darry sent me to go down here to tell you that she's not coming.... She not coming back. She left." He said and gulped in fear. Sandy was everything to Soda and he was the that would haved to tell him. Great. He gulped and began to back up slowly, but had backed up into Steve. Scared he might tackle him and beat the tar out of him for telling Soda that, so he tryed to walk forward.

[~Steve~]

Steve glared cooldly down at him. He looked at Soda for his reaction and felt sarrow for him. Then he felt like beating the tar out of Pony for telling him this bad news when he was in a good mood. He gritted his teeth. He cracked his nuckles. He then finished his soda and smashed it on the wall. His temper was high but not for him for Soda. His eyes were on Ponyboy cooly. He made a hissing noise. He stood up.

Being a girl was great... most of the time anyhow. when it came to going out and partying, there were all kinds of perks.

You never had to buy your own drinks... well, unless you were out with another girl, but even then, you can typically get a guy, who enjoys watching girls be affectionate to wards one another, buy you a drink.

You never had to open a door... well, when you were out with a good guy anyways. If a guy won't open a door for you, you are to consider him rude and maybe hang out the rest of the night, but nothing more. those types aren't really worth your time. They are the guys who end up treating you like crap once you are committed to them, or treat you like crap even while you're not. So much can be judge by simply observing a mans manners.

But, as the perk before it stated, it isn't the same if you're out with another chick.

But, at the moment, Angel was in need of a guy. She was at a gas station, hearing tons of guys hung out there. it was a general rule at establishments like this that a purse wasn't needed. Now it was just a matter of finding someone to buy her something, and the fun could get started.

She grinned as she saw three guys near by. She sauntered over to them, staying a little bit away. They had to come to her. Her blonde hair was in ringlets, golden and silky like an angel's. Angel knew no one would take her to be the type of a runaway.

[~Steve~]

He feels the eyes of a girl on them. He glanced up to see a girl stadig not to far off. He slouched down in his seat. He had a bad habit o blushig when girls looked at hm. He stuffed his hands in his pockets. He found a comb and combed his hiar in the usaul way. He stood up and stretched. He turned to soda and asked "want me to buy you a drink or something..." he ignored ponyboy completely.

[Ponyboy/Dallas]

OOC: I'm gonna wait for Sodapop to post.

[Sodapop]

((Sorry it took me a while I was at a friend's house))

W-w-what do you mean she's gone forever? Soda said jumping up from his seat and pacing back and forth. She can't be! You two have to be just kidding around with me. Why would she leave? Soda stopped pacing back and forth as Steve came up to him facing him asking him for a drink. Soda wanted to punch him so bad now. How could Steve ask me "Want me to buy or a drink or soemthing?" at a time like this, Soda wondered. Sure I'll have one. Soda said back down putting his face into his hands.

[~Steve~]

He did not leave and sat down and patted hs back. He gave his shoulder a slight sqeeze and said "you will be o-" he was cut of by one of the works came ot and said timidly "steve you grand pa is on the phone he needs to tell you something with family bussieness....ummm an you come now...." his brian went in a whirl wind. Then he remebered how his grandmother was veary sick and she was fighting cancer and some other dezes. H looked at soda sadly and the stood up. He knew what happened someone died.

OOC: this is not in the book but i made it up....is that ok.....

Angel wasn't stupid, she had been doing this since she was fourteen. Not a thing she should really have been proud of, but she was no the less. She did what she wanted, when she wanted. Having a something to say..even if someone didn't agree. She was a opinionated young lady and most people would agree. She was a sexual person...being her she loved the attention.

Dark blue optics looking up at the boys. They were.. hott. She smirked softly to herself.
But of course her attention drifted off,as some drunk came up to her. She looked at him with a slightly disgusted face. "Yes?" she hissed. "You waitin' for someone," the soc slurred. "I don't think thats any of your business" she snapped. Turning around.
She thought he got the message, but as soon as she was about to get up she felt his hands on her shoulders. "Don't be so angry," Soc whispered slightly."Get your hands off",she shrieked.

[~Steve~]

He hard shouting and whirled around. It was that girl agian. He floowed the girl to the phone and his grandfathers voce was heard it was shaky and sobby. It past more than 10 min to tell the whole story. He now was shakeing and he was leaning on a wall for support. He was crying alittle. He hoped no one would see hm like this.

[Ponyboy/Dallas]

Ponyboy was a little scared know, how Sodapop jumped up like that. He stepped backwards and walked up to him giving him a hug, trying to make him feel better. " I'm not lieing Soda.... She left. Her granmohter and granfather took her away because they found out you where going to ask her to marry her. I'm sorry...." He said, in a sad tone. Slwoly a brown haired girl wondered through the Gas Station. She stopped when she saw them all.She stared at Sodapop and Soda. She stood there staring. She then slowly wondered up to them.

H-Hey... I'm Kora..... What's you're name?" She asked, nervously(?). Ponyboy looked up at her and grinned. "I'm Ponyboy... And this is Sodapop." Ponyboy, in a nice tone. She was around Soda's age and had brown ish green eyes and long brown hair. She looked at Ponyboy and Soda seeing how hansome they where, making her more nervous. " Nice to meet you...." She said, and sighed udner her breath. SHe looked up and saw a man crying. She shrugged and looekd back down at Soda and Ponyboy.

"Are you okay?" Angel said quietly, breaking free from the SOC. She walked carefully over to Steve, not wanting him to react by hurting her. Her eyes clouded with genuine concern as he started crying to himself. She had been hurt badly too. And she always thought it was better to have someone to talk to. Like when she ran away. She wouldn't have run away in the FIRST PLACE if she had someone To talk to.
