The Outcast

Chap 23

It was Christmas today. I was already at the Curtis's everyone was wearing Christmas jumpers except me and Dally . Two somehow managed find a Mickey mouse Christmas jumper Dally said they weren't tuff looking so he wouldn't wear it and I didn't like my jumper they're really scratchy. But we both made effort to look nice I obviously put in more effort since I was wearing

And Dally didn't even iron his top or jeans he probably just grabbed first he saw. We were all passing gifts, Dally said he didn't want anything and whenever he did he get a gift he'd say " Didn't want anything " but I could see a small smile on his face whenever he was given a gift , Darry got up grabbing the Bag with my Christmas presents for the guys. Everyone sat opening the presents. I told Darry about what I done and he thanked me over and over he's obviously been stressed from work Pony hugged me tightly when he saw the books I got him. Steve and Soda threw off their jumpers to put on the shirts and both were grateful for the car stuff I got them, which I was relived cause I literally know nothing about cars. Johnny had the biggest grin everyone spoiled Johnny even Dally and I don't think he got anyone much apart from something he probably stole. Dally opened his gift from me and smirked looking up his " Actually needed these" he admitted I raised an eyebrow " Is Dallas Winston admitting he likes gift?" I teased " shut up" he muttered trying on the jacker and boots. Two whistled " I'm swooned " Two pretended faint we all snickered. Everyone got Two-Bit Mickey mouse merchandise and drinks. After everyone opened their gifts I didn't get anything which was fine I assumed everyone spent their money on the small party the threw for me . "Gloria here this is from all of us " Darry said handing me a present I raised an eyebrow opening the gift. It was a jacket I lifted it was a trench coat similar to the one I'd wear in Chicago I stood up taking of my leather throwing on the trench it was black with sliver buttons

I smiled doing a twirl " Thanks guys" I looked at them they all smiled " no problem at least what we could do" Pony said " I actually used wear trench coats " I admitted taking a sip of the eggnog I was given " Really?" Johnny questioned biting into a mince pie " Yea in Chicago wore these more then actual leathers " it was getting later into the night we were all watching Christmas films and playing games. Currently it was musical chairs no one knew why we were playing this but Two-bit insisted we did there was 2 chairs and me , Dally and Steve were left. As soon as the Christmas music stopped Steve sat down leaving me and Dally to fight over the chair, I shoved Dally quickly sitting down but Dally grabbed the chair pulling it away making me fall " CHEATER!" I shouted Dally smirked " I never follow the rules" I glared and moved beside Two-Bit sulking at the fact I lost.

By now It was 11 o'clock " SNOW!" Pony yelled pointing at the window we all rushed over there was a lot probably 4 inches of it. We all quickly got out Pony , Johnny, Soda and Two were building snowmen I grabbed some snow turning it into a snowball then throwing it at Steve hitting him in the back he turned around just as I threw another in his face " SNOWBALL FIGHT" Dally announced throwing snowballs at Johnny. Snowball were being thrown left, right and centre I was ducking behind one of the snowmen chucking a snowball at pony I couldn't feel my hand they were numb and my face I saw Dally rolling a snowball up like the way you do to build a snowman " Help me roll this" he whispered we started rolling it till it was a size Dally was happy with " who should we throw this at?" He asked out of breath " Darry" we both smirked I helped Dally lift it he had on his shoulder with his hand balancing it on it " AY DARRY" I screamed " YEA?" Darry yelled turning around Dally lobed the snow-boulder at Darry hitting him in the chest knocking him down me and Dally high-fived " we'd make a great team" I smirked watching a dazed Darry slowly get up " yup" Dally replied putting an arm around me Darry glared at us and got the other boys to huddle up talking to them about something they kept glancing back up at us " Oh shit... we better run" I said walking back " why?" Dally asked suddenly a bunch of snowballs were thrown at us " THATS WHY!" I shouted running to the back of the house Dally just behind me the snowballs kept coming as the others chased as we turned the corner of the other side of the house we bumped into Johnny, Soda and Pony holding snowballs smiling we went run back but Darry , Soda and Steve were behind us holding snowballs as well " Well R.I.P us " I said turning to Dally " Yea" we both ducked just being missed by the snowballs but ended up getting a face full of snow we laid there as we got pelted with snowballs once it stopped we looked up seeing them roll two snow-boulders up to us " It was dally's idea not mine" I pointed at Dally " Such a snitch" he rolled his eyes sitting up " If it saves me from getting death by snow-boulder then yes" I said " Too bad" Darry said lifting a snow-boulder  throwing it at Dally knocking him back down Johnny and Pony rolled the other boulder over to Darry  he laughed " Payback " was all he said as he chucked the snow-boulder at me hitting me right in the face.

After that everyone sat watching more Christmas films with blankets , hot water bottles and warm drinks specially me and Dally we both ended up with a cold and the most blankets " stop looking miserable you two " Soda said with a mouthful of cake we just glared at him " Oh would you look at that a mistletoe! " Two acted surprised as he held a mistletoe between me and Dally. " Two-butt no" I said he grinned " Two-Butt YES!" He replied holding the mistletoe between me and Dally I looked at Dally he smirked I wiggled my eyebrows " Oooooo" Ponyboy said Dally went lean in but King jumped up licking Dally's face. Everyone bursted at laughing " King's better anyway " Dally said pushing Kings face away.
