Dallas's POV
I was walking along on my way to the lot. The Curtis's found their long lost sister 3 months ago. I noticed every since she came I've changed. I've been going to night school, I'm not getting in trouble.
"Hey Dal."
I turned and saw Ponygirl in the lot.
"Ponygirl what are you doing here. Don't you have softball? Does Darry know you're here?"
"Soft balls been over for an hour. And Darry does know I'm here. He'll be off of work in a few hours. Right now I'm chewing on gum and watching the sky."
I knew Ponygirl chewed gum or chewed on a tooth pick to replace smoking so she could stay fit for softball. I went and sat next to her. I wouldn't do get wise and talk dirty or anything like I did to Cherry Valence the night at the movie. Darry would kill. Me. I looked up at the sky. It looked interesting.
"Gum?"
Ponygirl had a piece of gum in one hand. I figured why not. I started chewing on it. It tasted sweet. I'm not a big gum chewer. Johnny chews it sometimes, Ponyboy will when he's reading or doing homework or studying, Sodapop, Steve, and Two-bit aren't big gum chewers, and Darry does it when ever. The sun was starting to set.
"It sure looks pretty. I love watching the sun set. It just makes me relax."
She put her hand on mine I just had a weird feeling come over me. It felt… good. My heart started to flutter and my stomach had butterflies. I knew Soda said he felt like this when he fell in love with Sandy. Just then the gang cam over. We started playing football. Afterward I went to talk to Soda.
"Soda can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Yeah Dally. What's up?'
"Well how'd you feel when you fell in love with Sandy?"
"I can't really remember. I can remember my heart fluttering and having butterflies in my stomach. Why?"
'Well I think I like this girl. But if I tell you you'll freak."
"I won't freak."
"Freak about what?"
Just then Ponyboy came over.
"Dally's in love."
"Oh and you'll think we'll make fun of you.'
"No. You'll freak out."
"We won't we promise."
"Okay. It's your little sister."
"PONYGIRL?!"
"Sh. I don't want Darry finding out. He'll kill me.
"Oh come on. She'll be 15 in 3 months. And you turned 17 2 months ago. It's a 2 years difference."
"Yeah you're right. But still Darry will got insane if he finds out."
"Just give him time. But first find out if she likes you."
"I know you, me, Johnny, and Ponygirl are going to the movies. Try and find out then. Make it like a date."
"Yeah. That'll work."
Later I went home trying to get ready for my so called date tomorrow."
