The Outsiders Staying Gold part 2

Finally school ended. Two-bit Matthews, one of my best buddies, picked me up after school. In the car he kept on cracking smart ass jokes. I wanted to laugh. Something in my gut kept me from laughing. Finally we reached my house. I walked in. Darry was cleaning the stove top in the kitchen. "Well this one o're here was a butt load of laughs in the car," Two-bit said as he pointed his thumb toward me. I wasnt in the mood for jokes. I went into my room. Sodapop was on the bed lying flat on his stomach looking at a piece of paper. "Hey Sodapop," I said to him as I flopped down next to him. "Hey," he said as he put the paper into a book and dropped it with a bang on the floor. I was about to ask what the paper was when Sodapop said, "Hey is Two-bit here?" I replied, "Yea hes out in the living room." Sodapop jumped up and ran out to see Two-bit. "Hey Sodapop, I got some news for ya." Two-bit said with a devilish look on his face. "Well go ahead, spill." "Some chick was looking for you at the DX today. Yeah I kinda took over your job while you were here." "Oh jeez thanks Two-bit. I hope you didnt ruin my rep while you was workin'." "Acctually," Two-bit said as he had alittle ego moment, "I think I touched it up a bit." "Sure ya did." Soda and Two-bit laughed alittle. I could tell Sodapop was interest in the person who was looking for him, but I could see he still wasnt over Sandy. She did the worst thing anyone could ever do. I used to like her acctually, she was always nice to me. Now I hated her. I knew Sodapop used to love her, but I knew every day, that was changing. He didnt love her anymore, after what she did. While I was off in this little day dream Sodapop spoke up and said, "So who was lookin' for me?" Two-bit smiled roughishly, "That cute tall blonde chick, umm she was over at the DX talking to Steve, asking where you was." Sodapop smiled, but soon it turned into a frown. "Um, oh yeah, she was that girl that was in our elementary, Julia I think." "Julia, hmm JULIA! Yeah she was over at the DX talking to me a couple days ago." I was happy to see Sodapop happy again, I hadnt seen him like this in a while. In fact I havent even been this happy.
