OK this book was just a split second idea at three in the morning written while listening to BOTDF... I was really bored. Anyways... I know I already have a fanfic with a main character named Daisy but I don't care, I like her name. Ummmm... oh yeah, I don't own the Outsiders just Daisy and Melissa and any other characters that I mention that aren't in the book... KK. Enjoy! :D

I couldn't believe my eyes. Johnny Cade was looking... at me! Oh. My. Gosh. I was happy enough he came to school with Ponyboy today, he's been coming less and less. I've been starting to miss him something awful. Of course he didn't know... he might never know... I've always admired him from afar, never really telling him my true feelings. I'm just a little cowardly lion, my friend on the other hand...

"Johnny! Johnny! Hey! Over here, Johnny!" Melissa was jumping up and down waving like crazy. I grabbed her hands and held her down. Half the cafeteria was looking at us suspiciously.

"Are you crazy!" I hissed, she smiled innocently.

"Very much so, whats your point?" I released her hands and she flexed them to get the feeling to return, oops squeezed them too hard...

"My point its your acting insane, Johnny probably thinks your mental!" Melissa scoffed and tossed her wavy white-blond hair behind her shoulder. I leaned back in my chair and my head fell back on... "Johnny! Oh, um, uh, so, um," I stammered hopelessly, I saw Ponyboy in the background growing amused. "hey." I finally found the word.

"Hey, mind if we sit for a minute?" Ponyboy asked for the both of them and sat down. I nodded with a smile. Johnny looked happier then normal, not smiling but that's just him. Always quiet, like something you need to get to know before they show you who they are.

"So um, Melissa, I came over to say I really like your yellow shirt..." Ponyboy said nervously, I saw Melissa's face light up like a Christmas tree.

"Really Pony? You mean it?" He nodded nervously and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile. "I love your eyes," She blurted and blushed fiercely. "I mean, um, green. You look really good with green eyes..." And then she blushed a shade deeper.

"AWWWWWWWWW!" I embarrassed the heck out of Melissa and she kicked me under the table. "Shutting up now..." I muttered and took a bite of salad. I glanced over and saw Johnny smirk, which made me smirk.

"Haha... well I've got to go talk to the coach about track tryouts, see you later." He winked and walked away, with Johnny following of course. When they were out of hearing range I turned to my friend.

"Where the hell did that come from?" I asked, Melissa never mentioned Ponyboy before, so her sudden interest made me curious.

"I dunno... But Pony's cute ain't he?" She was more dazed then Keith on Monday in math class. I shrugged and finished my salad.

I sighed and grinned evilly. "Oh Ponyboy I love your green eyes!" I busted laughing. Even she had to laugh at her own words.

I love being a Freshman.

It started raining after lunch. Normally sixteen year olds could care less about it raining, but me... Well it wasn't the rain so much as the lightning, and then the thunder. I heard a big crack and, eyes as big as saucers, threw my gaze out the window. After that I tried my best to keep focused but my eyes would always wonder away and I would find myself staring out the window. One time Melissa had to wad up a piece of paper and throw it at me so the teacher wouldn't see how zoned I was.

Thank god for best friends.

I watched the storm rage on through English and History, then after school I ran to the bus the fast I could so I wouldn't get wet. The summer just loved to torture kids by reminding us we had less than a month to go before we were free, then dousing us in the rain. Thank god Johnny almost never rode my bus, I looked like a cat fished out of a lake.

But of course, just before we were about to take off, Johnny sauntered on the bus after Ponyboy and sat down in the seat in front of me.

I hate being a Freshman.
