‘ it's not just money. part of it is, but not all. you greasers have a different set of values. you're more emotional. we're sophisticated ––– cool to the point of not feeling anything. nothing is real with us. you know, sometimes i'll catch myself talking to a girl-friend, and realize i don't mean half of what i'm saying. i don't really think a beer blast on the river bottom is super cool, but i'll rave about one to a girl-friend just to be saying something . . . we’ve got troubles you’ve never even heard of. this might come as a surprise to you, ponyboy, but things are rough all over. ‘

❛ my only advice for that sort of a
situation is IGNORE THEM. ❜
crown dips with singular nod of agreement, glossed tiers pressing against each other to form RESIGNED SMILE ( she's had more than enough for one evening, delicate features twisted into GUISE OF AMITY by force –––– here's to holding breath and crossing fingers that EXPLOSION does not occur ). ❛ easier said than DONE, 'specially after you've done it a hundred times. 't this point, i'm just waitin' on the day he gets some common sense knocked into him 'n decides to GROW UP. or else –––– and i swear it –––– i'll just hit the road. no warnings, no excuses, no NOTHIN'. ❜

“I don’t like to pry, but I’m going to feel like an ass if I don’t at least ask
you if you’re okay.”
She pauses in her routine of wiping the counter top clean, her gaze fixing
on the redhead in front of her. Truth be told, she’s also spent a long time
staring into a cup of coffee while her mind wanders off, and she’s also a
little curious.
“You don’t have to talk about it – but you should at least drink your coffee
before it gets cold.”
ONLY WHEN ARTICULATION OF concern reaches ears does the young woman realize how much time has flown away since empty seat has been occupied, just how long gaze has remained LOCKED UPON wisps of steam that rise above paper rim of cup and vanish into thin air. attentions are momentarily drawn to speaker, painted lips twisting into forced semi-smile before eyes wander back to demitasse. a sigh pushes its way into evanescent stillness. ❛ i'm not much of a coffee person . . . too bitter, i guess. ❜ there is a soundless chuckle that accompanies second half of response, fingertips brought to stirrer. ❛ but i'm fine ––– great, even ––– just EXHAUSTED. long night . . . does 't look like something's the matter ? ❜ inquiry is posed with sincerity, typical cacemphaton and acerbity not present in tone.

compliments were nary given out by the sleuth, lest one IMPRESSED her greatly. only one person had succeeded in doing so & she was long gone. ( please, think her naught but confused as she offers raised eyebrows & slightly parted lips. ) ❛ ———– um … ❜ slowly the sleuth shakes her head, nose crinkling. ❛ not particularly, but if you’d like to think of it as such … ❜ hazel hues travel down to the woman’s shoes & then back to her face ; hand extending, the sleuth offers a small nod. ❛ if you’d LIKE a compliment, your shoes are nice. i’m nancy. ❜
EXACERBATION WAS FARTHEST FROM intent, and yet, in a matter of seconds, what was originally a simple exchange has morphed into knotted skein, a hushed, deliberate skirting around addressed points. seldom does unfortunate tendency to SCROUNGE BENEATH THE SURFACE of ordinary things work in the female's favor ( more often than not, anxieties are allowed to build up, brick by brick, until fragile wall is deemed obrumpent by impending wreckage, DEMOLISHED by mouth that runs ahead of the mind ), current situation one that could be compared to many. in confusion does the redhead observe what is revealed by exterior of company's internal battle, lips clamped shut while gears turn in an attempt to invent method of AMELIORATION. ❛ o –– oh, thank you ! ❜ pupils flick downwards for reasons unbeknownst ( how silly –––– she knows what her shoes look like ) before rising back to other's visage. ❛ sherri –––– 'cept for no one really calls me by my real name, so you can call me CHERRY instead, if you'd like. ❜

i’m calm. i know the s e c r e t. i know what’s coming and i know NO ONE CAN STOP ME
( including myself ). i kill people i LIKE. some of them beg for their life. i don’t feel sad. i don’t feel
ANYTHING. it’s a FILTHY WORLD we live in. it’s a filthy, goddamn helpless world, and honestly, i
feel like i’m HELPING to take them away from the SHIT and the PISS and the VOMIT that run in the
streets. i’m helping to take them SOMEWHERE CLEAN. –––––––– you think i’m CRAZY . . . ?
the world is a FILTHY PLACE. it’s a filthy goddamn h o r r o r show. there’s so much PAIN, y’know?
––––––––––– . . . there’s SO MUCH.

❛ ——— how trusting are you ? ❜ inquiry comes lacking any warnings, alabaster fingers running through flame-colored curls. an eyebrow perched, nancy steals a glance to the redhead ; she’s waiting as PATIENTLY as she can before answering her own question. ( if one listened carefully, they would hear her counting down from ten to one. ) she is a filled canvas, the white spots colored with splotches of random questions ready to be asked after its predecessor —- & she can’t help her inability to keep quiet.
a breath is taken before she begins to speak again, lips moving a mile a minute with each syllable that escapes them. ❛ you strike me as the type of gal who doesn’t let people in easily. something about the way you CARRY yourself. ❜
QUERY IS CATALYST TO lifting of singular brow, the hook that manages to catch and pull her from any trivialities that prevented FULL FOCUS from being given. ❛ TRUSTING . . . ❜ repetition rolls off of tongue, is TRIED ON FOR SIZE ( though the girl is in no rush, permitting herself time for reflection and contemplation ). molars snag on inside of cheek, gaze shifting ELSEWHERE in ersatz browsing of setting –––– the question is not intrusive enough to trigger abasement, but one that does not often slink its way into stream of consciousness. ❛ it depends. depends on who the person is, i guess . . . what i've HEARD about them, if anything. ❜ thus comes slight shrugging of shoulders, bracylogy a further exhibition that proves the other's suspicions to be CORRECT, for the most part. speed of speech ( and subject at hand, of course ) she thinks to be plausible excuse for PREVARICATION, each collection of words that follows analyzed in silence. ❛ –––––– . . . is that s'posed to be a compliment? ❜

❛ c'mon, shut it off. ❜ hand is brought upwards to SHIELD sheltered eyes, head shaking as exasperated exhalation is emitted. stomach churns, narrow shoulders gathering more and more TENSION with each splat, scuffle, or SCREAM. ❛ 'n remind me never to watch anything that fits in the HORROR GENRE again. ❜ a backwards flop onto cushion punctuates blunt expression of opinion, oculi remaining open for fear of just-witnessed scenes replaying themselves on backs of eyelids.

spectral frame barely looks as such ──── she’s solid, hardly translucent and limbs don’t give off an ethereal luminescence like casper the friendly ghost says they should. cruel joke, really, that she should look alive when she should be rotting. ❛ would it be too CLICHE if i said ’BOO’? ❜
TO DESCRIBE ENVIRONS as eerie would be severe UNDERSTATEMENT, first impression unwavering much to parents' disappointment ( the building itself was BEAUTIFUL, that much was not to be misunderstood, but with each creak of floorboards or soft sounding of step she did not take, a chill SHOOTS up vertebrae and sends mind reeling into state of PARANOIA ). just when something faintly reminiscent of composure has begun to settle ––– recalling precisely the effects of tranquility has proven to be a task more ONEROUS than originally considered ––– does inquiry reach ears, auburn hues flitting every which way in search of source as spine STRAIGHTENS. ❛ 'm not worried about CLICHES 's much as i am about how in the world you got in here. ❜

“Sherri, can I talk to you real quick?
I know you probably don’t wanna hear it,
but if I don’t say it at least once, I’ll ʜᴀᴛᴇ myself.
If I piss you off, you can go ahead and hit me. I deserve it.”
Johnny looks up at Cherry Valance with tired eyes. Sleep has been hard to come by in the past couple of months. If he’s not having a nightmare about the fire, there’s one about killing Bob. Women ᴛᴇʀʀɪғʏ Johnny, and Cherry Valance terrifies him more than most. She has the exact type of personality that he wishes he had; a take-no-shit personality. Johnny knows full well an apology won’t do anything, won’t take away the ʜᴜʀᴛ of losing her boyfriend. But he has to say something.
“I’m sorry about Bob. I really, really am. I didn’t mean to-
to kill him. I didn’t. But they were ᴅʀᴏᴡɴɪɴɢ Ponyboy,
and I was scared, and I’m─ I’m so sorry, Sherri.
I guess that beam fallin’ on my back was God’s
way of punishin’ me.”
TITIAN WAVES BOUNCE behind shoulder with swift turning of head, innocuous request having caught the redhead by surprise. JOHNNY CADE ––– never have the two been given the opportunity to make much conversation. as soon as ebon-haired male enters line of vision, reluctance flickers and dims upon feminine features. though he approaches with good intentions instead of belligerent demands, such reactions cannot be HELPED ( but despite what the PAST holds, she cannot find it in her to d e c l i n e ). ❛ 'course you can. ❜ mellifluous is invitation, torso twisting to face the other. ❛ don't worry about it, i'm not gonna . . . ❜ how PECULIAR it is ; she speaks nothing less than what is genuine, yet focus drifts just above the head ( if it might look like eye contact, it might feel like normal DISCUSSION ). ears are sharp to what the boy has to offer –––– counterpart could not block it out if she tried, resulting in the same offbeat, phony NUMBNESS that the girl will try to exemplify and FAIL. brows knit, lips parting slightly only to have WORDS FAIL her and leave her mute. ❛ johnny, don't –––– don't say that. i mean, i . . . i dunno, i can't say it's OKAY, but . . . ❜ nequience in ability to express inner workings has taken her into its clutches, and as crevices of the brain are scoured for just the right words, she cannot be confident that she'll ever ESCAPE.
❛ i know he had been drinkin' that night. and whenever he was THAT DRUNK, he just . . . he wasn't himself : slurring and stumbling around with no regard for anybody. not thinking things through. and –––– and if i'm being honest with you, when he would drink like that, I'D GET SCARED, too. tryin' to drown pony . . . it makes me SICK to say it, but it SOUNDS like somethin' he'd do when he would . . . y'know. ❜ sizable silence is allowed to hang in the air, its length measuring up to confession. her head is hung, gaze fixated upon twiddling thumbs. ❛ 'm sorry i refused to talk to you about it for so long, i just . . . ❜

please tell me your name is actually cherry.
❛ oh, no, my real name’s SHERRI, but it might as well be. ❜ bijou smile spreads over expression as cordial reply is given, lock of ginger hair twirled around finger –––– this is a topic inquired about more often than one may think. ❛ ––––– it’s ‘cause of my hair. ❜
