An extract from Chapter 2
Sharon sat with Paulette in the stands around the playing field. They had a free period and were waiting for her Rhonda to finish class and give them a ride home. Paulette lit a cigarette as she looked out over the field, the sun blazing down on them.
'Wow it's hot,' Sharon said taking off her cardigan. Paulette nodded.
'More a case of who's hot,' she replied watching the guys doing laps around the track. Instantly her eyes picked out Johnny Nogerelli. He was shorter than most of the guys but she didn't care, she thought he was pretty damned near perfect! There was just something about him....
'Do you ever think of anything else?' Sharon laughed, if ever a girl was boy crazy it was Paulette.
'Hey I haven't been on a date in ages,' Paulette protested. Johnny was the only guy she was interested in but he wasn't available. The fact that he was dating her best friend Stephanie made him completely out of bounds.
'Anyway what about you,' she said to Sharon. 'Since you split up with Steven you've not even looked at anyone.'
'No, there's not much point now is there?' Sharon replied. 'Not if we're going to be pink ladies, we'll have to stick to the code.' Paulette rolled her eyes in disbelieve, whoever had come up with the rule that pink ladies could only date t birds needed their head examined.
'Steph wouldn't make us stick to the code, I mean we'd only be able to date Davey or Goose.'
'It's a shame there's not a better class of T birds to chose from, I mean how did Davey Jaworski make the grade,' Sharon grumbled. 'He doesn't even have a bike!'
'Aww and he thinks so highly of you,' Paulette teased. 'I guess Davey's the equivalent of our Rhonda.'
'It's true,' Paulette insisted. 'She brings our brand down.' Stephanie was a natural as pink lady leader, she was effortlessly beautiful and cool. Sharon had an air of superiority that over half the school bought into, and Paulette thought she fit nicely between the two of them. Rhonda however had a big nose, glasses, and wouldn't have looked out of place with the nerds.
