Time Never Ends

The Walk

Kat's POV

I didn't have anything to wear to the dingo, and the clothes that I had on were dirty. I told the gang that I was gonna head out to a store and buy some clothes, I was going to go alone but they insisted on coming with me. They said that if greasers walk alone to much, they can get jumped; was I considered a greaser? We walked out the door and they led me to a clothing store. On the way there the boys kept yelling, and they were having a crazy conversation that wouldn't make sense unless you were in it.

Soda's POV

Avery looked pretty shaky from the boys screaming and all, so I put my arm around her waist. She looked at me and gave me a soft smile. She's so beautiful, she looks so fragile. I had only known her for a couple of days, but I liked her. I started to blush as we looked at each other and I looked away hurriedly.

Avery's POV

Soda put his arm around me but I didn't mind. He was handsome, his smile made me feel safe. My stomach felt like it had butterflies in it as he looked at me. I could tell that he was blushing, and he soon looked away.

Once we got to the store, the gang decided to go get a drink at the gas station while I looked for clothes. After what seemed like forever, I picked out a simple grey shirt with waist high blue jean shorts. The clothes were so cheap there, they only costed about two dollars. I made my way to the cash register when a couple of girls stepped in front of me, even though I was there first. I just waited behind them and didn't say a word since i'm shy. I guess that they were mad that I was ignoring them because the red haired one turned around and glared at me and said "What are you looking at greaser?". I still didn't say a word, because I was scared to death. "That's what I thought", she gave me a sinister grin and walked away. I guess those girls must've been socs judging by the way they were dressed and how they acted. I didn't pay any attention to them, and I went to pay for my clothes.

I went outside and started to walk towards the gas station. I heard a low male voice and the hairs on my neck stood up. "Hey, what's a sweet broad like you doing all alone with no one to protect you?", him and a couple of other dudes laughed; I guess that they were socs too. I backed up, trying to get away from them but I backed into another one. The one that said something to me grabbed my arm, and I tried to pull away. It was getting dark and I was beginning to get scared. I was hoping that someone would come.

Soda's POV

I saw some socs surrounding Avery in a circle. I didn't have time to get the gang, so I just ran, hoping that she would be okay. "Don't touch her" I said. I was furious, but I was also nervous. I slouched to try and look mean. I'm pretty fit, even though I don't work out that much. I saw Avery turn around, relieved to see me, even though a soc was still grasping her arm. "Huh? I couldn't hear you. Could you speak up a little?" him and the other socs laughed. "You heard me" I shot back. I turned around to hear the gang running, trying to catch up to me, and when I turned back around I saw the soc swinging a punch at me. I ducked quickly, but I wasn't fast enough. It stung a little, but I was alright. I punched him as hard as I could while the gang was fighting the other socs. The one I punched was down in a second, he was out cold. As soon as I hit him, the other socs didn't even bother getting him, they just got in their mustang and left.

Avery's POV

I was pretty shaken up, even though it takes a lot to scare me but so much has happened lately. Soda helped me up and tried to comfort me. "It's okay. We chased em' off". He put his arm back around my shoulder like before. "Is it okay if I change at DX?", I was still wearing my dirty clothes. "Sure, just follow me". He walked me to the gas station while the gang followed behind us. Once we got there, he unlocked the door and let me in. It only took me about five minutes to change. "You still wanna go to the Dingo?" he asked me. "Yeah, I don't wanna let those socs ruin our night", I wasn't going to let them. "See, you're already talkin' like a greaser", he looked over to smile at me again. We didn't really talk about anything on the way there.
