"Two shots of whatever."

"YOU KISSED HIM?!" JJ practically shrieked, picking me up and spinning me around. 

He gave me a high-five. "You've been taking a lot of risks lately, what's up with you?" 

I shrugged. "I-I don't know. I've just been having this gut feeling that something bad's gonna happen. So, if I'm right, I wanted to kiss him."

JJ smiled, but then frowned. "You know, it's weird because I've been having that same exact feeling. I just feel like something is going to happen." 

I took a deep breath and ran my hands through my hair. "I have to go make a list." I ran to my bedroom and yanked out my notepad, sifting through all of the past lists I've made. 

I opened up to a new page and labeled it, THINGS I LOVE ABOUT SODAPOP.

-his smile
-his bright blue eyes
-his fluffy hair
-his amazing personality
-everything. I love everything about him. 

I closed my notebook, satisfied with my list. JJ was watching me from the doorway, grinning. "I've never seen you so happy, Lex."

I giggled. "JJ, have you met someone else? I want you to be happy too." 

He smiled from ear to ear, sitting next to me on my bed. "Actually, I have. She's amazing, and she does make me happy." 

I squealed. "What's her name?" 

He chuckled at my excitement. "Her name is Rose."

"When do I get to meet her?"

He gave me a devilish smirk. "Today."

I jumped up and down and soon JJ started jumping with me. Steve walked in and gave us a weird look. "I see why you two were in a mental asylum now."

We shot him a glare and he started laughing, giving both of us a noogie. But, he started jumping with us, not even knowing why were jumping. It was a happy day. A day none of us have had in a while. 

Once we finished our jumping moment, Steve shot us a grin. "You two are coming with me and the gang to Buck's tonight. He's throwing a party just for us. We'll be the only ones there." 

JJ and I started to get ready. I was extremely excited because this is the first party I've been to in a while. Steve said to not dress fancy because it would just be the gang there, so I slipped on some jeans and a plain black short sleeved shirt with boots. Winter was slowly starting to turn into spring, so it was starting to get warmer. 

I left my hair down and wavy and stepped outside in the living room. Steve, JJ, and I hopped in the truck and drove to the Curtis's for everyone else.

"WE'RE GONNA GET ripped tonight!" Soda shouted, soon followed by a 'whoop!' by Steve.

I turned to JJ, knitting my eyebrows in confusion. "What does getting ripped mean, JJ?" 

He started laughing. "It means getting drunk, Lex. Which is something that you're not going to do." 

I pointed my finger at him and talked sternly. "You're not going to do it either." 

He put his hands up in surrender. "I promise I won't." 

I turned back towards Soda. "I didn't know you drink alcohol." 

He gave me a small smile. "I don't drink as much as Two-Bit or Dal, but when it comes to special occasions, I do." 

I nodded my head, a little worried. I don't like when people get drunk, and Soda getting drunk scares me. 

But, he looks happy and I want him to have fun. 

We all got in separate vehicles, Steve, JJ, Soda, and I were in the truck. Once we got there, we entered and I relaxed a little. Since we were the only ones in here, I didn't have to worry about other drunk people. 

All of the guys, except JJ and me got alcohol. I just got a glass of water and JJ got coke. A girl walked in, and JJ immediately ran up to her, giving her a kiss on the cheek. I grinned at how happy he was. She was just as happy. 

He brought her over to me, and I shook her hand. "You must be Lexie." She gave me a warm smile, and I instantly knew her and JJ would be together for a long time. 

"And you must be Rose." 

She sat beside me on the bar stool and we watched all of the guys dance like crazy. I started giggling once Soda got in front of me, clearly drunk. "May I have this dance, m'lady?" He asked in a British accent, which wasn't anything like how they would sound. 

I laughed as I took his hand. He led me to the dance floor and I panicked. "Soda, I don't know how to dance." 

He gave me his smile, and grabbed my hands. "Put your arms around the back of my neck, and then we'll just move side to side." I did as he told and he wrapped his arms around my waist. 

We moved back and forth across the floor, everyone grinning as they saw us. I leaned my head on his chest and closed my eyes. I will remember this night forever.

Once the song was over, we pulled away and he kissed me. "I love you, Lexie." 

I grinned. "I love you." 

"Alright ya love birds, save that for later tonight." Dally's voice came from behind us, making me shake my head. 

I walked back over to Rose and she shot me a smile. "You dating that guy over there?" She pointed to Soda. 

I nodded my head and grinned sheepishly. "Yeah." 

She chuckled at me being flustered. "I can tell you two love each other. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that." 

"The same goes for you and JJ." I replied, taking a sip of my water. 

She smiled when I mentioned JJ's name. "Yeah, he's pretty amazing." 

I hummed in agreement and turned towards her. "I'm not a mean person, but if you do hurt JJ, you will not exactly see the best side of me." 

She started giggling. "I won't, I promise. You and his friendship is about the sweetest and strongest thing I've seen in my life." 

I grinned. "JJ and I can never be broken apart. We need each other." 

We kept watching the guys arm wrestle, dance, and do stupid stuff until all of the lights cut out. Everything went quiet and my eyes were huge. I was terrified. I held onto Rose and she did the same thing to me. 

"Nice to see you again, Lexie." A voice came from behind me.

I said this on my Dallas Winston fanfic and I'm going to say it on this one, but my updating schedule will be shorter since I'm about to go back to hell. 

School. Hell. The same thing.
