In Which; Kimmy and Amy try to escape the watchful eyes of Kimmy's brothers
🌷Kimmy🌷
SHE continued playing with her pen, glancing up at the clock every couple seconds. It was Friday, and thirteen year old Kimberly Curtis was waiting for the last bell to ring so she could meet up with her best friend Amy Golding, so they could go to the diner for some chocolate milkshakes and fries.
Usually, one of the gang that Kimmy had grown up with would pick her up and drop her off at the DX, but Kimmy detested the fact that her brothers had to keep a watchful eye on her. It's not like she was a child, they were just very protective of her, in case she would get jumped.
Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Kimmy lived,
was divided into two groups. The Greasers and the Socs, short for socials. Kimmy was a Greaser, her red bandanna she used for a bracelet was there for all the world to show. Amy was a Soc, being richer than her, but she didn't care for money. She and her siblings didn't have the best home life, and only Kimmy knew what happened in the Golding mansion.
Kimmy pulled out her personal notebook, a shoplifted gift from her friend Dally Winston, and started writing whatever was on her mind. She did this often, but the notebook was used to write posh sounding words to make herself sound smarter, it started as a way to prove that she was smarter than her brother Ponyboy and Amy's brother, Henry, but it quickly became a habit.
Some of the gang, except maybe her brothers Sodapop and Darry, hate it whenever Kimmy does that because they don't understand her. Kimmy scanned down the pages, looking for a new world to use on the boys today before she stopped on a certain one: Pavonine- relating to a peacock. Kimmy laughed to herself, she will DEFINITELY use this to the boys.
She flipped over a few more pages to where Kimmy wrote something else: secrets. It was like a diary, filled with secrets that she couldn't tell her brothers or her friends. For example, if Kimmy had a crush on someone she would never tell the guys, because they would tease her mercilessly until Darry told them to stop. That was one of the downsides of your closest friends being guys.
But Kimmy does tell them most things but the situation of Amy's home life was kept a secret, unless if any of the Golding siblings had the courage to tell others. Kimmy knew that Cassie, Amy's older sister had told some of her friends, and they kept their mouths shut. But Amy's brothers, George and Henry had even deeper secrets that only their sisters knew.
Kimmy let them know that she was there to talk to them if they were ready to tell her. As Kimmy continued to read through some old pages, the bell rang. She gathered up her things and went to meet up with Amy.
☀️Time Skip☀️
Amy was waiting for her by the bicycle racks. She and her siblings usually rode their bikes to and from school even though most Socs rode Mustangs and Corvettes. "You ready for some fries and milkshakes?" Amy asked her friend, as she got on her bike. "Yeah, I can almost taste them." Kimmy smiled.
She checked the corner to see if anyone had come to pick her up.
"Oh no."
"What?"
"Cassie's future boyfriend, 12 o clock."
"You mean Soda?"
"No it's Dally-of course it's Soda!"
Amy's older sister, Cassie, was in Soda's class in third grade and she had the biggest crush on him since. Unfortunately, at the moment Soda was taken. Cassie knew but how she wasn't jealous of Sandy was anyone's guess. "Anyone else?" Amy said, looking over her friend's shoulder to see.
"Just Pony. And Johnny."
Amy turned to see her friend have light pink dusted on her cheeks. "Okay, on the count of three, we're out." Amy instructed, already on her bike with Kimmy sitting behind her.
"Three."
"Two."
"One!"
Amy started pedaling and Kimmy looked back to see Pony and Johnny pointing and yelling. "Ames, can you pedal this thing faster?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I think you have to do that right now, cause they're coming."
"Oh fiddlesticks."
"Please, just say frick."
🍦Time Skip🍦
By the time the boys had shown up to the Dingo, Kimmy and Amy were already eating fries and drinking chocolate milkshakes. Amy had asked Cassie if she could kidnap Kimmy so she could take her to the diner. And by the time Darry came over to check on them, he saw them just chilling and eating fries.
