"THAT DID NOT happen." Skye defended. "Yes it did!" Two-Bit exclaimed.

"No it did not, the only reason I got in trouble was because you kept talking to me." Skye said and Two-Bit rolled his eyes.

"You didn't have to answer." he mumbled and Skye glared at him.

It has been two weeks since Skye met the boys and they hang out everyday after school and work. Skye loves the boys, they may be annoying at times but she still loves them.

They were all at the diner that Skye worked at and Skye was their waitress. "Anyone need anything else?" Skye asked the group and they all looked at each other and shook their heads.

"No I think we're good." Darry said and Skye nodded, "Call me when you need me." she said and she walked away heading towards the register.

"Let me guess, your dating them all but they are all completely clueless," Cami said. Cami is Skye's co-worker, she is also a waitress.

Skye gave her a strange look and chuckled, "What? No." Skye said cleaning the counter off. "Really? Come on, you must be dating one of them," Cami said and Skye shook her head.

"Well I'm not."

"Really? But they're all so hot." Cami said and Skye laughed. "Okay if your not dating them then you must like one of them," Cami said and Skye didn't say anything.

"So, which one is it? Which one of those hot boys do you like?" Cami questioned and Skye stopped.

"I don't like any of them." Skye said and Cami gave her a look, "You're not a very good liar you know that?" Cami said and Skye rolled her eyes.

"I'm not lying."

"Sure you aren't."

Skye gave her a warning look and Cami put her hands up defensively. "Okay, fine I'll leave it alone for now, but we're not done." Cami said pointing a finger Skye's way as Skye walked away.

"Yeah, yeah."

Skye went back to the boys table to check on them, "Hey Skye, what time is it?" Soda asked her. Skye looked back at the clock, "It's four thirty-six, why?" Skye asked.

"Oh shoot, I'm gonna be late." Soda mumbled getting up from the table. "Late for what?" Steve asked, "I got plans with Sandy." Soda answered.

"Sandy?"

"His girlfriend." Two-Bit whispered and Skye gave him a surprised look. "Oh, you gotta girlfriend Soda?" She asked him and Soda nodded.

"She pretty?"

"Of course she is."

Skye smiled, "Okay, good luck!" Skye shouted as Soda walked out the door. He gave her a thumbs up before he left.

"I think we're done now." Darry said pulling out his wallet, he put down his part of the bill along with Pony's. Steve and Two-Bit also put in there share.

Dallas stood up and was ready to walk out when Skye stopped him, "Hey!"

Dallas stopped in his tracks and he turned around slowly, "You forgot to pay," she said. "What do you mean? It's right there." Dallas said pointing at the money on the table.

"Don't play with me Winston, give me the money." Skye said putting her hand out. Dallas rolled his eyes and sighed pulling out his wallet, he gave her the money and Skye grinned.

"Thank you, you can go now." Skye said and Dallas rolled his eyes and walked out. The boys bid their goodbyes and they all left, "You should go now too, your shifts over anyways." Cami said.

Skye looked up at the clock, "Oh yeah, okay well I'll see you tomorrow." Skye said taking her apron off. "Yeah, see you."

Skye left the diner and she began her walk home.

Skye was walking through the park to get to her house, everything was quiet and peaceful. That is until a blue mustang pulled up and a group of socs climbed out.

Skye stopped in her tracks and she took a step back rolling her eyes.

"Hello Skye."

"What do you want Bob?" Skye asked him really not in the mood, "What makes you think I want something?" Bob asked her offended.

Skye gave him a look, "Okay fine, yes I want something," Bob said and Skye crossed her arms awaiting his answer.

"I want to have fun."

Skye rolled her eyes shaking her head, "Sorry Bob, but I'm a little tired so if you don't mind," Skye said taking a step forward.

Bob stepped in front of her to stop her from leaving and Skye looked at him.

"Back off Bob."

Bob didn't listen, he just smirked.

She saw his friends take a step forward and Skye kept a close eye on them, she reached for her back pocket which contained her pocket knife.

She knows better then to leave home without it.

She pulled out her pocket knife and she held it to her side showing them that she wouldn't hesitate to cut them.

"I said back off, I'd listen if I were you." Skye said, Bob looked down at the knife and he backed off a bit.  "Fine, we'll leave you alone...for now," Bob said backing away.

"Let's go boys."

His friends glared at her before they got into the car and drove off, Skye let out a sigh of relief as she watched them drive off.

She put her knife back in her back pocket and she began walking home again. Once she got home her mom wasn't there, as usual.

She put her things away and got into the shower. Once she was done getting ready she grabbed her keys and left the house heading towards the Curtis home.

"Your queen has arrived." Skye announced as she walked into the Curtis house. "Geez, your cockier than Steve," Dallas mumbled and Skye rolled her eyes.

"I'm not cocky I'm confident, there's a difference." Skye said, "Not really." Dallas mumbled and Skye ignored him.

"What are the plans for tonight?" Skye asked them, "Nothing, we were just going to sit here and watch Mickey and eat some chocolate cake," Two-Bit said.

"What? That's so lame." Skye said.

"It's Saturday night and you guys want to stay here and eat chocolate cake? I thought you guys were supposed to be fun," Skye said.

"We are fun!" Steve exclaimed.

"Prove it then, there's a party tonight at Buck's, we should go," Skye said. "Uh yeah no, going to Buck's is not a good idea especially for you," Dallas spoke up.

"Why?"

"Because Buck has wild parties, and you don't belong there." Dallas said and Skye glared at him. "Why? I'm a greaser aren't I? Last time I checked greasers were invited." Skye said crossing her arms.

"I say we go, we have nothing else to do anyways." Steve said and Skye nodded. "Exactly, thank you."

"Alright, I'm up for a party anyways, besides Buck has good beer." Two-Bit said getting up from the couch.

"Can I go?"

"No." everyone said at the same time. Ponyboy sunk back into the couch, pouting.

"Okay fine whatever, let's go," Dallas said finally giving in. Skye grinned and they began filing out the door, Dallas stopped.

"You coming Johnny?"

Johnny looked up, "I-I don't know."

"Come on Johnny, it'll be fun." Dallas said and Johnny thought about it, "Alright, sure." Johnny said standing up from the couch, his hands in his pockets.

"Have fun." Pony said, pissed because he couldn't go.

Right as the teens left the house, Soda and Sandy came walking down the sidewalk. "Hey, where you guys going?" Soda asked, his arm around Sandy's shoulder.

She had blonde hair and big blue eyes, she was gorgeous. "We're going to Buck's, he's having a party." Skye said as she walked towards the gate.

"Why don't you and Sandy join us?" Steve said and Soda looked over at Sandy, Sandy smiled and nodded.

"Okay then, let's go."

They all headed down the street towards Buck's. They were laughing and the boys were howling and just being crazy and having fun.

Once they made it to Buck's they walked in and they were hit with the smell of beer and the blasting music along with drunk teenagers and horny couples.

Skye grinned and she looked over at the bar, "I need a drink!" she shouted since the music was so loud. She walked away from the group and headed towards the bar.

"One beer!"

The guy behind the bar gave her a cold beer, "On the house." he smirked and she smiled, "Why thank you."

She popped open the beer and took one long sip, she winced as the strong liquor slid down her throat. She roamed around the house looking for some fun, but instead she found Soda and Sandy making out on a couch.

"Oh, I'm sorry wrong room." Skye chuckled awkwardly and she stumbled out of the room as the couple pulled away to look at her.

Sandy sighed annoyed at the girl, Soda chuckled and shook his head silently. "I'm gonna go get a drink." Sandy mumbled getting off of Soda's lap and heading towards the bar.

Sandy looked around the room for Skye, she found her by the stairs talking to a few people.

"Hey!"

Skye turned around and was met with a fuming Sandy, "Oh, Sandy hi," she smiled trying to be nice.

"You need to back off," Sandy said pointing a finger at Skye, Skye cocked an eyebrow looking down at her finger.

"Uh, what?"

"Soda isn't interested in you, alright? He's only friends with you because the rest of your little gang is, so you need to back off because he loves me not you." Sandy rambled.

Skye scoffed at her words, "Okay I don't know who you think you are or what the hell you're talking about, but I don't like Soda so I'm sorry if you think that," Skye said.

"Oh don't play dumb, I see the way you look at him, it's so obvious! Just leave him alone, alright? He doesn't like you, and he never will so back the fuck off." Sandy said before walking away.

Skye watched the girl walk away in disbelief, she scoffed shaking her head and heading towards the exit. She walked out the door breathing in the fresh air.

"Hey, you okay?" Soda asked Sandy as she came back into the room. "Yeah, I'm perfect." she grinned pulling him into a kiss.

Steve poked his head in the doorway, "Hey, yeah sorry we gotta go." Steve said giving Soda a cheeky grin.

Both Sandy and Soda rolled their eyes and pulled away. They gathered up the gang and they all left, once they were outside they did a little head count.

"Where's Skye?"

They all looked around only to see that Skye was missing, "Damn it Skye." Dallas mumbled going back into Buck's to look for her.

"Okay let's split up and look for her, Two-Bit, Johnny you two go help Dallas look inside, Soda and me will look out here," Steve said.

Two-Bit and Johnny nodded going inside, "What about me?" Sandy asked. "I don't know, go home or something." Steve said shrugging her off and Sandy glared at him.

"Just stay here Sandy." Soda said walking away going to search around the house.

Sandy crossed her arms, pissed off.

Skye had decided to go home feeling tired, and a bit drunk. She didn't feel like getting taken advantage of tonight so she decided to go home before she got too drunk.

She was a bit dizzy so she was stumbling around a bit, but she was sober enough to know where she was going.

She was currently walking through the park.

Skye covered her face as some headlights flashed in her face, she stumbled back covering her face. She could hear doors opening and closing and some footsteps.

She moved her hand away to see who the person was, all she could see though were silhouettes of four people.

"H-hello?" She stuttered.

The shadows stopped walking and she kept her eye on them for any sudden movements, that's when the four shadows charged at her.

Her eyes widened and she let out a terrified scream, a scream that was so loud that Steve and Soda heard it.

Soda and Steve turned their heads towards the direction of the scream, "Did you hear that?" Steve asked and Soda nodded.

They looked at each other and they ran off towards the park. Once they got there they looked around calling Skye's name, they could hear grunts and shouting.

"Get off of me!"

They both recognized the voice to be of Skye's, they ran towards the shouting and there they found Bob and his little friends.

Bob was on top of Skye and his friends were holding her down, Skye managed to get her leg free and she kneed Bob in the stomach. Bob let out a painful groan and he fell to the side, Skye kicked the others off of her and got her arms free.

She scrambled away from the boys and Soda and Steve tackled the boys to the ground.

Skye sat on the ground her eyes wide, she saw Bob stand up and she saw him whip out his pocket knife and her eyes widened even more.

She saw him about to go for Soda, "Soda, no!" She shouted. She scrambled up and she tackled Bob to the ground, Bob landed on his back and Skye was on top of him.

She smashed his hand into the ground which caused him to let go of the knife, she threw the knife to the side so he wouldn't reach for it.

She took out her pocket knife and she put the blade up to Bob's neck, "Make on more move, and your dead." Skye breathed out as Bob shriveled in fear.

He looked at the knife cautiously, shaking slightly.

"I already told you Bob, I won't hesitate to cut you." Skye said and Bob gulped. "You gonna leave us alone?" She asked him and since he couldn't move he said, "Yes."

"Good, now get up."

Skye grabbed him by his collar dragging him up her knife just a short distance from his face. "Now go." she said pushing him forward.

Bob looked back and sent her glare, Skye looked over at Soda and Steve who held the other two guys down, she nodded and they got off of them.

Bob's friends stood up shrugging Steve and Soda's hands off of them sending them glares.

"This isn't over." Bob said pointing at the three of them and walking towards his car. Once they drove off Skye let out a sigh putting her knife away.

Soda turned to her, "What the hell is wrong with you?" He shouted and Skye looked at him confused.

"What?"

"Why would you just leave like that? Without telling anyone?" Soda questioned her. "Because I wanted to go home," Skye answered him in a duh tone.

"Then you should've asked one of us to take you home, you're not supposed to leave on your own you know that!" Soda scolded her.

Skye scoffed, "I can take care of myself Soda."

"Oh really? Because what I just saw said the exact opposite, if me and Steve hadn't showed up you'd be Soc meat right now!" Soda shouted.

"No I wouldn't! I had that back there and you know it, I got out of it by myself without your help, all you did was hold them back, and if it wasn't for me you'd be dead right now, so instead of yelling at me you should be thanking me!" Skye shouted back.

"Okay! Maybe we should just take a breather." Steve said trying to calm the two. "Yeah he can take a breather, I'm going home." Skye said, walking away.

Steve sighed and looked over at Soda, "What the hell man?" He said shoving Soda slightly. "What? You know I'm right." Soda argued.

"Uh no actually, you're not," Steve said and Soda looked at him, "She did have that back there, all we did was hold them back, and she did basically save your life," Steve said and Soda looked away.

"You gotta apologize man, because Skye really knows how to hold a grudge, trust me." Steve said. Soda sighed running a hand through his hair, "Fine, I'll apologize tomorrow." he said and Steve nodded.

"Okay, now let's go back, let the others know she's safe." Steve said heading back to Bucks, Soda nodded following after him.

"Alright."
