Tommy stood in a local convinence store at the cash register, purchasing a coke with his daily allowance money. He waited in line, his free hand in the pocket of his letterman jacket. He glanced around, tapping a foot impatiently as he waited. (ew it's short sorry)

[ima research the book a bit so sorry if my posts seem off ! wanna be as accurate as possible ;w; ]
Eli walked into the small convenience store, cigar in his mouth. he of course was getting another pack of the addicting sticks like usual. brown eyes scanned the store, raising a brow at the sight of tommy. while usually he wouldnt give two craps about the dude, he was apart of the socs after all. burring his hands in his leather jacket pockets he stepped up behind him in line,blowing out a puff of smoke through his nose,¨tommy? im surprised a soc is in this part of town, my gang basically owns this part of town.¨ he snorted.

Tommy sighed, waiting. He stuck out and he knew it, judging by the confused glances he kept receiving, and he shifted awkwardly. He was staying with his dad for the weekend, and his dad lived in this part of town. Every where Tommy went he felt like he'd get jumped by some lone or group of Greasers, which actually rarely happened. A voice made him jump and he turned, seeing Eli. "Not my choice, really. I wouldn't come here off all places if it was my choice." Tommy replied bluntly. He handed the cashier his money and took the coke, moving out of line and opening it, taking a sip.

Elijah scoffed, stepping forward to the counter and mumbling his order to the cashier. he rested an elbow on the counter, raising an eyebrow at tommy,¨it should be an honor being in this side of town, im sure its better then where youre from.¨ he stated cockily. feeling a tap on his shoulder he dug in his pockets for a few spare dollars and put the crumpled bills on the counter, gladly taking his cigars and putting them in his back pockets.

Tommy chuckled with a sideways smirk. "I really needed a good laugh, Greaser. Then again how would you know what it's like on my side of town, exactly? I highly doubt that any of your junky cars would make it even halfway there." He said with a shrug, one eyebrow raised in amusement. "So don't pat yourself on the back too hard or you'll break your arm." He took another swig of his soda, rested casually against the wall.

His smirk soon turned into an unamused glare, huffing his comment off,¨my quote junky truck, is expensive and can go places,thank you very much.¨ he retorted, taking the cigar out of his mouth and huffing out a few clouds of smoke,before placing it back into his mouth, brown hues glaring into the other. ¨we have the jackets,bikes, and basic tough guy exterior. all you guys sport is fancy little school varsity jackets, nothing really impressive there.¨ he replied cooly. to him, his side of town was obviously better. there were a lot of places to go an see,some better then others, but good nonetheless. ¨with that jacket on youre gonna get yourself beat up around here, goodluck.¨ he chuckled, not bothering to here a retort from him and made his way outside to smoke, the small ringing of the bell on the door making a sound as he sat himself against his favorite brick wall, huffing out another cloud of smoke.

"Yeah? About as expensive as that hand-me-down white tee I'll bet. I'm pretty sure I saw one of your buddies wearing the exact one not too long ago." Tommy rolled his eyes. "You have a junky truck that's more like a family heirloom than a pass-down." He called after him, before the door shut. He sighed, thinking for a moment. Tommy couldn't argue that Eli was right; he stuck out like a sore thumb in his varsity jacket and he was more than likely to get jumped on the way back to his dad's; or anywhere for that matter. He sighed, contemplating before walking out of the convenience store. Tommy turned a left and began walking and not even 5 steps in did he see the smokey cloud that came from the side of the small shop. He turned his head and saw the same Greaser who'd been in the shop only moments before. "I cannot believe I'm asking you this," he began. How low do I have to be to ask a Greaser for help? Tommy thought grotesquely. "But is there any way that I'd be able to get from here to 11th Street without getting jumped?" He asked, not quite making eye contact.

he raised an eyebrow at the question. ¨asking a greaser not to jump a soc is like asking me not to breath,¨ he gave a chuckle. he was surprised he hadnt beat tommys ass as soon as he saw him in this side of town,but he didnt. he couldnt be bothered to waste his time on petty fights, he already knew his place. ¨if you want to get to 11th street safely youre gonna have to be escorted,¨ he looked him up and down, brown eyes narrowing,¨and theres no way in hell im doing that, so keep looking.¨ like, the dude had just insulted his trucks and shirt(which was new!) on his own territory! no way in hell he was making sure this soc was getting any where safely, and frankly, he didnt care.

Tommy simply shrugged. "Wasn't gonna ask you to 'escort' me there or whatever in the first place. I mean are there any back ways I can go that perhaps have less people walking around?" He explained, rolling his eyes. "I don't need an escort, I can handle a few damn Greasers. I just don't want to get into a fight that doesn't need to happen." He said, his golden-brown eyes narrowed.

shaking his head he clicked his tongue,¨sorry, no back ways, we normally dont get unwelcomed visitors here.¨ he replied coolly, taking the cigar out of his mouth and blowing out the last bit of smoke before dropping it to the ground and stomping on it. though he was curious on where he needed to go. if it was somewhere actually important then maybe Eli would consider walking him there.maybe.most likely not,but maybe. ¨where are you heading to anyway?¨
