It took me a month to get over Randy, but now I am over him and now I'm happy.

"Ponyboy!" I yell as I hit him with a pillow over and over again laughing my butt off.

He wakes up opening one eyes and he smiles widely, "good morning Lucy."

"Morning Pone," I smile as Sodapop walks over leaning against the wall.

"Morning Lucy," he smiles.

I run over hugging him tightly, "good morning Pepsi."

"Looking hotter than ever Lucy" Dally winks as I walk down stairs

When I get down stairs I grab a pillow and throw it at him "shut up Dally."

"No way princess," he say as he winks as he walks over to me smacking my butt. This is just the way I like it.

"Will you stop Dallas?" I yell angrily even though I'm not really angry at all.

"Sorry princess," he shrugs. "I just can't resist you."

"Well you're gonna have to," I squint.

"I can't," he throws his hand in the air. "Too hot. Calm down princess it's a compliment say thank you and walk away."

"How 'bout you say thank you I don't smack in your face and walk away?" I scream as I walk over to him.

"Ooh feisty the way I like 'em," he walks over to me. "Why don't you forget about hanging with Soda at the DX today and we can hang out today?"

"In your dreams Winston," I say through gritted teeth with my eyes locked on his.

"Maybe I should fall asleep then," he winks walking off.

"He's so gross!" I yell fake angrily as I grab orange juice. "Although he's like a brother to me and I wouldn't have it any other way."

Darry smiles, "glad to have you back Lucy."

I smile back a real smile, "glad to be back Darry." Two-bit walks in as Steve and Sodapop arm wrestle. "five cents Steve wins."

"You're on," Two-bit says.

We wait until Steve slams down Soda's hand and I scream happily, "pay up!"

He pouts as he puts a nickle in my hand, "I've missed ya Lucy."

"I missed you guys too," I smile as I check the clock. "Oh half an hour!" I run upstairs and throw on a crop top, jean jacket, skinny jeans, and converse. I do my hair and makeup like always and run downstairs. I check the clock, "all with fifteen minutes to spare. Where's Johnnycakes?"

"Not here yet," Steve says as he smiles at me.

"Steve, Two-bit you coming?"I ask them.

"Nah, there's a mickey marathon on today," Two-bit says as he sits down with chocolate cake and beer putting on Mickey mouse.

"Yea, but I'm leaving early," Steve shrugs as Johnny walks in.

"Hey Johnnycakes!" I say as he walks in. "Ponyboy hurry up!"

Ponyboy runs down stairs, "I'm coming."

I smile at my boys, "good, now lets go to school."

Before we walk out Darry stops me, "you ready for this?"

"I've been going to school Darry," I remind him chuckling a little.

"Yea, but this is the first day you're you again," he sighs. "We missed you."

I kiss his cheek, "I'll be fine Darry."

I run over to Sodapop and hug him, "goodbye Pepsi."

"Stop by the DX later Doll?" He asks.

"Of course," I smile as I walk out of the house.
****************************
I walk proudly over to Randy and his new girlfriend which is of course Aj, but I keep my head held high as I hand him a bag of everything he's ever given me. "What's this?" He asks with a confused expression on his face.

"It's all the gifts you ever gave me because, they mean nothing to me now and clearly you never cared," I roll my eyes before giving Aj a death glare. "Maybe the slut you're currently with will like it better than I ever did."

"They mean nothing to me either," he shrugs. "How 'bout you keep them love?"

I smack him across the face leaving my hand print, "that's for cheating on me you two-timing asshole and don't you dare call me love because, I ain't your love!"

"Damn girl you hit hard," he smirks as he runs his cheek.

"Wanna try again?" I ask angrily. "I bet ya I'll hit you ten times harder."

"Try me," he squints as he turns his face so I can hit his other cheek.

I slap him as hard as I can and I swear it sounded like I just whipped him with a leather whip, he didn't look too hot either, "I told ya I'd do it and believe me asshole, you don't wanna test me. You wanna try me too Aj because, you deserve a real hard slap? You were my fucking friend and you do this to me?"

She shrugs it off before pecking Randy's cheek and storming off. He turns to me, "later babe."

"Don't you dare ever disrespect me ever again! Ya hear?" I yell after Randy.

Johnny, Pony, and Steve all rush over to me. Steve is the first to talk, "what the hell happened and are you okay?"

"I told that asshole off then slapped him twice and went off on Aj, but they did nothing to me," I shrug. "I'm fine."

"You know you could see your hands on the his cheeks...right?" Johnny asks holding back a slight chuckle.

"He deserved it," I smirk.

"You're right he did," Steve pats my back.

"Gosh, you sure are tough as nails Lucy," Pony smiles.

I hug him ruffling with his hair, "you got that right kiddo."

"Hey not the hair!" Pony laughs as he fixes it.

The bell rings and I look at the boys, "off to lunch, we go."

"Nah," Steve shakes his head. "I gotta go to the DX, but I'll catch ya'll later."

"Okay," I yell as he runs out of the school. "Tell Soda what I did to Randy!"

Steve turns back just a for a split second giving us a thumbs up as he yells, "will do Lucy!"
