AFTER WHAT FELT LIKE DAYS of arguing, david walked out on me and dragged his friends out of the gym with him. i walked away from the bleachers to see sodapop drinking away from a beer can i assumed his friends snuck in, he was alone on the bleachers eyeing down ponyboy who was dancing with angela shepherd, someone who was not on good terms with me.

i sat a space away from him and just gazed at the dangling decorations from the ceiling. we looked at each other with a sly smile before looking back at what was supposed to distract us from looking at each other.

"boyfriend problems?" soda sarcastically asks.

"david's not my boyfriend," i laughed and shook my head, "but yes david problems if that's what you're implying."

soda moved closer to me.

"i'm not the best at helping relationships or whatever, i'm usually in the problem and getting help." he shrugged.

"what's wrong with your relationship?" i asked him.

"caught my now ex-girlfriend walking in with another dude, nathan porce." he explained, "that was her only chance to stay with me and she blew it."

"i never liked that dude, not after that one night." i muttered.

"what happened that one night?" he turned to me.

"i had to walk my little sister, ana home from her friend's house since i had no car. nathan and his little friends started cat calling us, especially ana." i tried to hold myself from crying, "ana was too young to even understand what was going on and that she took it as a compliment."

soda sat there shook.

"i still feel as shocked as i was the night it happened, i refuse to let ana out at night now." i said.

"that's disgusting, i'm so sorry this happened to you guys." soda places a hand on my shoulder.

"it was never your fault, don't gotta apologize like that." i grinned.

we talked for the rest of the dance, not even getting up to dance or anything. all of a sudden a slow dance song came on to end off the night, soda stood up and held out his hand. i rolled my eyes and put my hand in his.
