     Cars was something that always fascinated me, and what better place to look at cars is at a gas station? I heard around town that the DX was the place to be if you wanted to look at cars, so the DX was where I was currently heading. I had my hands shoved in my pockets and my eyes were wandering all around the place. Tulsa Oklahoma seemed interesting, definitely a place that would take some getting used to.

     I suddenly get abruptly shoved forward, but not hard enough for me to fall. I didn't know a single soul in this town, which meant whoever just shoved me was about to get a face full of fist. I refrained myself but turned around to see who it was, only to be smacked in the side of my face with their knuckles.

"Oh, you shouldn't have done that," I growled, trying not to let the pain get to me. "you don't know who you just messed with."

     I didn't even take another second and lunged at the victim. I grew up on the hard streets of Chicago which meant I knew how to fight. Physically. The person I was fighting definitely fought back though, punch after punch, scratch after scratch, the fight lasted quite a while, but in the end, I was the one who had victory and the other person was the one running.

"Yeah! You better run!" I spat. I looked down, soon realizing all the bruises on my body. "Damn. They really fought back hard."

     I didn't think too much of it and continued on my way to the gas station. When I arrived, there was a guy working on a car, just like I predicted. I approached him, calling out for his attention. He stopped working on the car and turned around to face me, his reaction was also what I expected.

"Damn girl, are you okay?" the concerned looking guy asked, rushing up toward me. "Wow. You seem like you quite the beatin', what happened?"

"Someone tried to jump me but I thought otherwise," I replied proudly. "I won in the end, so it doesn't matter. Anyways, I was wondering if you could show me what you know about cars."

     The employee seemed to have completely zoned out and was staring at me in worry. His eyes were observing my cuts and bruises, along with my bloody knuckles. I scoffed.

"Can you stop lookin' at me like that? I said that I'm fine."

     Since he wasn't going to do anything, I decided to push past him and head over to the car he was currently working on. My ankle was silently killing me, but I tried not to show that as I walked to the car. Of course though, the random guy noticed it right away.

"You're limpin' babe," the guy said, causing my heart to skip a beat. Did he just call me babe? "tell you what, I can take you somewhere where you can get patched up."

I turned around and stared at him blankly. He walked up to me and put out his hand. "Steve Randle."

I shook his hand. "Kelssi."

     He breathed a "follow me" and started heading a certain direction. As I trailed behind him, I had to admit, this Steve kid was pretty cute.

* * *

     Steve opened the door to a house and motioned for me to enter. The second I set foot in the house, a very buff man came walking out of the kitchen with a blonde boy thrown over his shoulder. My eyes widen and I take a step back. He seemed very intimidating.

"Darry!" steve called out, catching the attention of the muscular man. "Put Pony down before you hurt him!"

"Speakin' of hurt," another voice spoke. My eyes shifted to the kitchen and my jaw dropped straight to the ground as I saw one of the most handsome men enter the room. "what happened to you love."

"Kelssi is her name Soda," steve barked at the attractive male. "and I brought her here because I need your help on fixing her up."

"I'll go get the first aid kit!" ponyboy called out, racing back into the kitchen. Not even a few seconds passed and Ponyboy peeked around the corner. "Darry, I can't remember where it is, can you come show me?"

     Darry sighed and went to go help Ponyboy find the first aid kit. Steve led me over to the couch and sat me down. Him and Sodapop dragged up a table for me to set my ankle on. When I was all ready to go, Sodapop went off to help the other two boys while Steve and kept me company. He sat down beside me.

"So," I exhaled. "I'm guessing those are your...brothers?"

Steve snorted. "Close. All three of them are brothers, but me? I'm just the friend. Best friend to Soda specifically."

"I-Is Soda the...um...the..." I didn't know how I was going to get out that he was the extremely good-looking one without sounding stupid. "I uh—"

"The handsome one?" steve finished for me. I blushed. "Yes. That's Soda. It's alright hon, it's not a secret," steve said with a playful smirk. "Ponyboy is the blonde one and the one you were intimidated by when you first entered is Darrel, or we call him Darry."

"H-How did you know I was intimidated?"

"I saw your reaction when you first came in," steve answered with a shrug. "you're not the first one who looked at him like that when first meeting him."

"So what I'm getting out of that is that you were staring at me?"

Steve's cheeks got kissed with pink. "I uh—"

"We found it!" the voice of ponyboy shouted, running out of the kitchen. "I mean technically Darry found it, but still."

     Steve quickly drew his eyes away from me and rose up to his feet. He rushed over to Ponyboy and grabbed the first aid kit out of his hands. I stayed silent as the brothers and Steve all began to perform surgery on my ankle, or at least tried. Steve started up a conversation with me to make sure I didn't get bored, and it worked. We shared laughs and hilarious stories, I already felt like I was best friends with these four guys.

     Out of them all, I would definitely say that Steve stuck out to me the most. Sodapop might have had the looks, but Steve had the personality that caught my attention. We were having such a fun time, I didn't even realize they were done with my ankle until Steve said the two words, "We're done." I was sort of bummed, but Steve helped me out of the house. I said my goodbyes to the brothers and left with Steve.

"Thanks for patching me up," I thanked, walking down the stairs. "my ankle feels better already."

"I'm glad," steve said with a friendly smile. "I um, I was thinking Kelssi," steve spoke shyly, lowering his eyes to the ground. "I was wondering if you would like to maybe go on a date with me sometime?"

"Tomorrow works," I responded eagerly. I froze as I realized that I answered way too quickly. "I-I mean, yes. I would love that Steve."

"Tomorrow it is than."

     I ruffled up my hair as I took one last look in the mirror. Today was the day. I could barely sleep last night knowing that I was going on a date with a guy who made my heart race. Only here a few weeks and I already felt like I met the love of my life. Steve was the one. I knew it. He told me the plan over the phone last night and I couldn't be anymore excited. I was meeting him at the house of the three brother's and Steve mentioned that there would be a surprise waiting for me there.

     I yelled goodbye to my parents and raced out the door, completely thrilled to see Steve again. I tried not to run there because I knew I would be out of breath. I walked briskly all the way to the house and knocked when I arrived. The door immediately swung open, revealing Ponyboy with a cloth pressed against his mouth. I looked over his shoulder and saw their entire kitchen filled with black smoke.

"Oh my—what happened?!"

"Long story," ponyboy coughed. "Steve! Kelssi's here!"

     I tried to see more to the story but seconds later, Steve came dashing out of the house. He right away grabbed my wrist and hurried away. I decided to just put it behind me and follow Steve to wherever he was taking me. It wasn't long until I realized that Steve was walking me to the DX gas station. When we arrived, he got out two cokes. He handed me one.

"You know, I was planning on surprising you with a really really nice dinner," steve said, opening up his bottle. "I let Pony take over for one second and everything is suddenly on fire."

     I stifled back a laugh and Steve took a drink out of his bottle. I took the next drink and smiled at Steve.

"You know, this date is already perfect," I claimed. "you want to know how? It's because I'm with someone I really like."

Steve smirked. "You want to know what will make this even more perfect?"

"What?"

"Cars."

     Steve put down his coke bottle and I put mine down beside his. He took my hand and took me over to the car he was working on yesterday. He patted the trunk of the car.

"I'm going to need some help fixin' this ol' Betty up," steve said. "are you up for the job Kelssi?"

I clapped in excitement. "I was ever since the beginning Steve. Let's do it!"
