The Outsiders Preference #1: You first meet.
Darry:
It wasn’t the first time Darry had to work for a rich family. Still, he knew he would never get used to working in a neighbourhood full of socs. He could feel their stares as he walked by, towards your house. It was a hot Summer day, and sweatdrops rolled down his forehead and back as he fixed the old wood pieces on your roof. You were oblivious of the guy, and walked outside wearing a beautiful new dress. You sat down on your front porch and opened a book. Half an hour had gone by when you heard a cough. “Excuse me.” A deep voice said. You looked up and your eyes widened slightly at the sight of such a good looking man. Darry was wiping his hands on a dirty cloth. “I finished my work here. Is your father around?” A shy smile appeared on your lips and you got up. “Sure! Please, come in and use our bathroom.” You said, pointing at the grey, old garment he had on his hands.
Darry’s eyes looked you from your head to your bare feet and smirked, following you inside.
Soda:
You stepped out of your car and your date walked over to the gas machine to fill his vehicle. There were two guys working at DX that day, but your eyes barely looked at them as you scanned your surroundings. You were busy, immersed in your thoughts, but only to be interrupted by one of those guys. “Hi there.” The gorgeous-looking boy said, slightly touching his cap, all western style as a hello. “You alone?” You really had to think of how to speak again. You liked your date, sure you did, but you could feel a strong connection with this stranger, bizarre as it may sound. “I… no. I’m here with my friend.” He was still fighting with the machine, a desperate expression on his face. “He sure does seem lost.” The boy laughed. He quickly tried to get your attention back to himself. “I’m Sodapop, by the way. Soda for friends and cute girls like you.” A faint blushed painted your cheeks. “I’m [y/n].”
Ponyboy:
The entrance of the movie house was filled with people. So many teenagers had come to see the latest beach movie, and Ponyboy had been unfortunate enough to find himself lost among them, even if the movie he’d seen had nothing to do with beaches and summer romances. You were by his side, your brows furrowed and arms crossed. “This is so annoying.” You said out loud, talking to nobody -you had come alone as well. Pony eyed you but decided not to answer, in case it seemed rude. You scoffed and looked at him. “Can you believe this? All beach movies are the same anyway. Why do they even bother to come? You see one, you’ve seen them all.” The boy smiled and nodded. “I presume you came to see the other one? It was pretty good, wasn’t it?” Your angry face turned into a smile. “It was! I love Paul Newman, he never disappoints me.” The crowd started to move, and soon you two were outside, finally able to breathe freely.”I’ve heard he’s already working on his next film.” You commented. Ponyboy’s cheeks were rosy as he addressed you. “What if we come to see it when it comes out?”
Johnny:
You had got lost. In your own city. Not that Tulsa was too big, but it wasn’t too small either. But you were pretty new -you had just moved a few months ago- and suddenly all the pretty houses had disappeared, only to be replaced by small, one-store ones. The streets were dirty and there weren’t any people outside, apart from a lonely figure a few feet ahead. “Excuse me!” You said, rushing to get to whoever it was. The boy jumped at your voice and looked at you with a wary look on his face. He had a worn-out leather jacket on, and his jeans had holes on the knees area. Just like everything around you, it looked as if time hasn’t been nice on him. “Um… Could you tell me where I am? I got lost.” A small smile spread across his face and he asked your address. You told him, and the boy actually laughed. “You’re way too far! But I could show you the way, maybe?” His words were cautious, and polite, so you couldn’t say no. “My name is [y/n]” “And I’m Johnny.”
Dallas:
Dally Winston had a thing for trouble, everyone around knew that, even rich people, like yourself. He’d walk around, asking for a fight, catcalling girls, stealing. You weren’t very fond of him, even if you had no idea who he was, or what he was like. His reputation preceded him. Even if you were called a soc, your looks and behaviour didn’t scream ‘Spoiled and bratty.’ You liked the greaser style, and you embraced it. You were at the convenience store, flipping through the magazines. “This ain’t a library!” The old man that sat behind the counter said. “If ya want to read it, ya buy it!” You were ready to reply angrily when a voice cut yours. “Give the lady a break, pal. She can’t know if its worth it if she doesn’t look, huh?” You looked around and saw a tall, tough-looking guy on the other side of the magazines stand. “And what’s with the accent, anyway? What are you? A cowboy?” You couldn’t help but giggle, and the boy finally looked at you, a pleased smile on his face. “You’re welcome.” He said with exaggerated, clearly fake gentleness. “Dallas Winston at your service.” You frowned, making the connection and wondering why he was being so nice. You didn’t have to wait long, as the boy soon started to follow you around the store, asking you dirty questions, commenting on how cute your butt looked on those shorts. “Go to hell!” You said, facing him. Dallas smirked, knowing you weren’t nearly as mad a you pretended to be. “I just want to know your name, babe.”
Two-Bit:
You met Two-Bit on the street, as you casually walked around your school, backpack in hand. The strap was broken and you would have to carry it like that for the rest of the day, or so you thought. A hand slipped down the other strap and you looked up to see a tall, smiley guy holding it for you. “Can’t believe you have to carry this.” He commented, as if you two were walking together. “Knowledge is more of a burden than you all think, lemme tell ya.” The boy chuckled at your annoyed face. “You were making me nervous, walking too slow. Place is full, and I have cake at home. Can’t be late.” You smiled and introduced yourself, wondering if he would ever ask you to grab a piece of cake together.
Steve:
Steve had just finished his turn on DX, the last one of the day, when your father pulled into the parking area. He got down and walked to the closed door, where Steve’s partner was locking the last door. You two needed to refill your car quickly, or you wouldn’t get home soon. Randle walked by your car, distracted, and as he passed you, his eyes stopped on you. You were sketching on an old notebook, but he saw you and felt he needed to know you. Two knocks at your window were enough to catch your attention. As you looked up, you smirked. The cute guy in front of you was looking at you the same way you were looking at him.”
[Sorry if the last ones are short and bad. It’s nearly 1am and I’m dying here. So tired. Hope you like them!]
