Chapter Five~Takin' Care Of Business~

Keith's POV

Kassie had just left. "Wow...she's amazing. She knows all about cars and she's super funny!" I stood watching the cloud of dust that had appeared after Kassie vanished. "C'mon Romeo." Dally started dragging me into the house. We all sat quietly just thinking to ourselves. "So what'd you think of her?", I asked. "I'll go first," said Darry, "I thought she was very sweet and funny. Still a little surprised that she talks like a trucker." "I think it's funny!!" Sodapop joked. "Of course you do!" Dally snarled. "Most of the chicks that are my age have a trucker mouth!" Dally explained. "Anyways..Dally, what'd you think of her?" "I mean..she's beautiful, feisty, hilarious, and bold. I like that about girls. Oh and she's so smart!" I agreed with everything he said. "Sodapop?" "Man..I loved her..she's great. And I absolutely just like..love how she knows all about mechanics! Like..that's BADASS!!" "Yeah she is a badass! I loved her. Her blue eyes are beautiful with her bright red hair!" Johnny made his positive remarks. "Ponyboy?-." I was interrupted when Ponyboy tried to be his scientific self. "She's quite unique and vigorous very averting." After Ponyboy was done being some sort author, Sodapop asked me what I thought about her. "She's so friendly and not a bitch to everyone. She's beautiful...." I trailed off thinking about her.

Sodapop's POV

HOLY HELL!! That had to of been the most beautiful girl I've ever met..she's way prettier than stupid fucking Sandy!! Sandy had got pregnant with somebody's baby..it wasn't mine. She had cheated on me..she went against me..she broke me. She moved away to Florida three years ago. I loved her so damn much and she stabbed me in the heart. But now that I'd seen the most beautiful girl..the hole in my heart had stitched itself up. I want Kassandra Lowe to be mine..but it looks like I've got a line to wait in..waiting right behind Keith. She seems to be buddy buddy with him.....,

Kassie's POV

EEKKKKKK!!! "So..I see you're quite the chatterbox huh?" Steve asked me. After a few seconds I didn't respond. "Kassie?!?" I was sitting in front of the steering wheel driving down the street. Steve whistled and clapped. "HUH?!" I was in a deep daydream state. "What'd you say?!?" Steve looked annoyed. "I said..you're quite the chatterbox." "Oh yeah..I am." Steve noticed me zone out again. He then waved his hand in front of my face. "Are you okay?" "Yup I'm totally fine.." I trailed off. "Just a good thought..." "Was it about Keith?!-." "SHUT UP.." I blushed. "Hey! You're blushing! It is about Keith!!!" While Steve was laughing his head off..I took my hand off the steering wheel and lightly smacked him. "I swear..if you ever tell anyone..I will kill you!..." I gave him my super serious face. He then began to laugh his head off again. He started to slouch down the seat. I was quickly approaching a stoplight then right before I got to it I stopped so quickly Steve flew to the windshield. I then started laughing my head off. Steve slowly sat back down and gave me his angry face. Which was hilarious. We finally made it back to Steve's old house. "So..am I sharing a room with Raymond?" Steve asked me right before I opened the door of the car. "Yeah. Are you okay with that?" I was nervous Steve was gonna be upset that he didn't have his own room. "YEAH!! I'm stoked!!" I smiled and he smiled too. We walked inside his old house and Karl came up to me. "Did you have fun?!" "Totally!!" "Good I'm glad!" "Hey Kassie!!!" I jumped when I heard someone yelling for me. I looked out the window and saw Randy standing there looking up at me. "I'll be right back!" I said annoyed. I made my way outside and walked over to Randy. "Hey what are you doing here?" "I'd thought I'd come see you!" He smiled. "Randy, I think we got off on the wrong hand." He looked at me confused. "What do you mean Kass?" He put his hands in mine. "Listen. I- don't really like like you." I said with a serious face and I pulled my hands out of his palms. "No you listen! Kassie, you're my girl." "Randy, I don't like you! Okay?" "No! It's not okay! He started to reel me to his body like a fishing rod that'd had a fish hanging off the other end. "Randy, let me go!" "Never." "C'mon! You heard her!!" I heard a voice yell. Randy let go of me and walked over towards Steve! Steve had just saved my life. I moved away so no one could trample me. "Well if it isn't Randle the RAT!!." Steve glared. "Well if it ain't old totally unhandy Randy." That was a good insult! Randy stared into Steve's eyes and they both stood still. All of a sudden..Randy threw a punch that sent Steve flying backwards. "RANDY!! STOP!!" Randy ignored me and he got ready to punch Steve again. I wasn't letting that happen so I purposely got in the way of the punch that was initially going to Steve's face. Randy hit me and HOLY SHIT that stuff hurts. Randy's face was wide open. "Kassie..I'm so sorry.." "I'm not!" I grabbed Randy and punched him in the face with all the might I could. Randy fell to the ground. Steve sat sitting on the ground speechless. "Kassie?...." The area on my face which Randy had struck was now throbbing and stinging. Steve got up and ran over to me. "Kassie. Y'all right?!?" Steve started to check out my bruise. "I'm fine! Are you okay?!?" "Don't worry about me. You sacrificed yourself for me?..." "Why wouldn't I?" "Not a lot of people like  me." "Well guess what, I'm your stepsister so you're not so bad!" He laughed. "Man you're a good fighter." "Thanks. You're good yourself!" "Thanks but....you knocked him down in one punch!! That's amazing!!" "Thanks. Randy's king snowflake. So he's really easy to defeat!!" "What's his deal with you?!!" "I'll tell ya when we get inside!" Steve rushed me into the house and sat me down on the table that was still there. Other than the table and the icebox, everything in the house was gone. Steve frantically rushed to the icebox took out a couple ice cubes and wrapped them in a random towel. While Steve was rushing to get me ice Karl who was cleaning the cabinets asked him what Steve was doing. Karl was distracted so he couldn't look up at Steve. Steve had a busted lip and he was bleeding. Karl then made eye contact with Steve and Karl panicked. "WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?" "I'll tell ya Randy happened." Karl followed Steve with eyes and Karl saw my face and almost fainted. "IS SHE ALRIGHT?!???!??" My mom came running in and her eyes widened. "I'm fine." I reassured both of them. Raymond came crashing up the stairs. He'd been in the basement checking all the pipes to make sure none of them had been busted. "Kassie!!! Are you okay!?!" Raymond took a closer look at my bruise. "D- did Randy punch you?!?" He looked at me with his sad puppy dog eyes. Then curiously went over to  window to check the driveway to see if Randy was still there. "What a wimp!" Ray declared. "Here ice your bruise!" Steve handed me the ice. "Thanks."Steve went over to the sink and began to wash the dried blood off his lip. "So what happened?" My mom asked very worried. I told all of them that Randy wouldn't let me reject him so I had to do it the hard way. And I told them that Randy raged and was gonna hurt me..then Steve came in and saved me!! They looked at Steve and smiled. "Oh yeah and I kinda knocked Randy out because he was gonna hurt Steve even more. I took the punch before it reached Steve." I exclaimed. "What a dirty bum rat!" My mom yelled. "Yeah he clearly didn't understand that I didn't want him!!" They all laughed. We finished getting all of Karl's stuff moved out and sold to people. We got to my house and I showed Steve around. After I gave him a tour I led him into my room and I jumped on my bed. He sat down next to me. After a couple seconds I sat back up. "Thanks..for saving me earlier!" "No problem! Thanks for biting a bullet for me!" "Anytime! Randy tried to get with me because I'm a soc! It's so annoying!!" "On a regular daily basis..how many guys ask you out?" I signed and laid back down. "Ten!" "Well that's gotta be fun!" "It's horrible! They don't leave me alone. They follow me like little rats waiting to get their cheese!! And I keep telling them I DON'T HAVE ANY!!!" Steve laughed. "Wait..what did you picture?!?" I gave him a grin. "R- Randy as a rat!!!" "HAHAHAHA!!" We started dying laughing and I started wheezing. "Ya all right?" "Never been better!!" We kept laughing and Steve did rat impressions and I totally almost died!
