Life's difficulties
Summary: A girl moves in next to the Curtis's
A/N: Read and review…I like all reviews but if you're gonna flame make it constructive criticism!!!
This is after the book but again Dally and Johnny are still alive (who could keep them dead!?!!?)
The new girl (Pony):
If you had told me that today I was going to meet a girl who would take my life, turn it upside down, shake it a few times and set it back down I would have said 'I don't like girls and no girl is gonna do that with my life'.
I saw the moving truck pull up into the next door driveway around midday. I looked over at Two-bit and he looked straight back at me,
"I hope it's another guy. We'll have to make sure we get to him before anybody else" I said racing over to the window. I was disappointed only to see a father and a girl, around Johnny's age, hop out of the truck,
"Wow, he's very girly looking now isn't he?" Two-bit joked. I hit him playfully on his arm,
"Go back to your Mickey Mouse" I siad, rolling my eyes. Two-bit laughed and sat back down in front of the telly watching Mickey Mouse very intently. I laughed, thinking how stupid he looked. I looked back out the window and the girl caught my eye. She smiled and waved. I waved back and then turned away from the window…embarrassed.
"Aw…Pony's blushing!" Two-bit batted his eye lashes at me so I lunged at him and wrestled him until he finally gave up,
"Aw! You made me miss Mickey Mouse clean Minnie Mouse's house!" I grinned,
"Well I'm going to the park…Johnny'll be there"
"Yeah whatever…just as long as I don't get distracted again" I rolled my eyes and walked out the door. As I had guessed Johnny was looking into the fountain, obviously remembering the night that happened five months ago,
"Hey Johnny" I said startling him. Johnny looked up and smiled,
"I nearly fell into the stupid fountain I hope you know. What you up to anyway?"
"A girl moved in next door with her father today"
"She good looking?" I shrugged,
"'Spose. She's looks bout sixteen"
"Maybe we should introduce ourselves"
"Maybe"
"Come on. You obviously want to" Johnny said dragging me up. We walked slowly back to the house and as we got closer I got more nervous. I always got nervous 'round Soc girls. I don't know why. The girl was just about to grab another box when she spotted us. We weren't even past our door so she didn't even know that we were going to say hi to her. She walked over calmly and smiled,
"Hey. You're that guy from next door. I'm Liana" She said holding out her hand. I shook it,
"Ponyboy Curtis"
"What's your name?" She asked Johnny. She didn't even ask about my name,
"Johnny Cade. I live just down the street" She smiled and shook Johnny's hand,
"Already getting to know people around here…go me!" Johnny laughed,
"How old are you, Liana?"
"Thirteen. I'm fourteen in a month" I felt my mouth drop open and Johnny's mouth also fell open,
"What?" She asked confused. Johnny slowly composed himself,
"We thought you were sixteen!" Now it was her turn to be surprised. She laughed again,
"Cool! I could use that to my advantage"
"Cool?" I asked confused at the word.
"Oh yeah that's right! You guys use tuff. I love your guys accents!" She exclaimed. I looked at her funny,
"We don't have accents. You have an accent, it's really strong. Where are you from?"
"Oh. I'm from New Zealand! Well excuse me Mr. I don't have an accent, you do!" I laughed,
"Let's just say we both have accents" She smiled,
"Yes let's do that!"
"Why did you move here anyway?" I asked, curious. Liana looked uncomfortable,
"Liana! Bring in the box and hurry up about it!"
"Oh. I have to go now ok see you later!" Liana then hurried and took in the last box.
