Ponyboy's pov-

"Ponyboy get up. You gotta go to school" Soda told me while gently shaking me. I groaned and sat up. He got dressed and started eating breakfast. "Pony you better get goin' you don't need to be late" Darry said so I stood up. I was walking out the door staring at the floor so I accidentally ran into Two-Bit. "Golly kid watch where ya walkin" Two-Bit chuckled "sorry" I mumbled and quickly started walking to school.

I sat down in my English class and opened my book. I began reading then a soc approached him and slammed a book down on my desk causing him to jump. "Are you scared greaser?" The soc laughed "you better watch yourself" I threatened "what are you gonna do?" The soc teased "I gotta six inch blade in my back pocket and a brother with muscles the size of your head" I told him "yeah I'd like to see that" the soc chuckled and hit me in the back of the head. Since he was standing I elbowed him in the balls. "Oh you stupid greaser!" The soc groaned and was about to punch home when the teacher walked in. "Sit down everyone" the teacher said so the soc sat in his seat.

I was walking home from when a red mustang started following me. I started running but the socs got out of the car and jumped me. One sat on my stomach and held a blade to my neck. "Darry!" I screamed then the soc covered my mouth. I bit his hand and screamed again as he made a small cut on my neck. "Hey leave him alone!" I heard Dally yell so the socs looked up and saw the gang running toward them. They got up and ran to their car. The gang started punching them and beating on their car as they left. Soda ran over and looked at me. "Hey you ok?" soda asked "yeah" I sighed and got up. "Hey bud, how ya doin?" Two-bit asked "good" I said and walked back to home with everyone.

I sat on the front porch smoking with Johnny. "Where those the guys who got you?" I asked "no" Johnny said quietly "ponyboy you got homework" Darry said so I went inside to work on my homework.

Two-bit's pov-

I don'tknow why but Ponyboy has been acting really weird lately. I should ask Soda if he's noticed anything unusual. I walked over to the Curtis' house and saw Pony sitting at the kitchen table working on his homework. "hey Pony, where's your brother?" I asked "Darry is taking a nap, Soda went out with Sandy" Pony replied not looking up from his homework. I plopped down in the chair next to him and took the piece of paper he was working on. "shit, I barely know how to do this. how the hell are you so smart?" I asked giving him his paper back. "I'm not like you. I actually wanna graduate before I'm twenty" Pony said starting to work on his complicated math homework.

I sat there and watched him work for awhile. I don't know how long I actually sat there and stared at him. It might've been how his brown hair sat perfectly greased brown hair or how focused his greenish grey eyes were. I noticed he was looking back at me and got really nervous. We just sat there at the table staring into each other's eyes. My instinct was to move forward. I closed my eyes and kissed Ponyboy. I was surprised when he didn't punch me but actually kissed me back.

We moved away from each other and I smirked. "We can't tell the gang alright?" Pony asked "ok, but what are we?" I asked "well, I guess if you wanted to we could...well...maybe...try dating" He replied nervously "yeah, I guess you could say we are...boyfriends" I smiled so Pony nodded. I heard someone walking up the front steps so I moved away from Pony and acted like I usually do which was me just chillin' not giving a fuck about anything.

"hey Ponyboy, hey Two-bit" Soda smiled "hey. how was sandy?" Pony asked "she was good" Soda sighed and plopped down on the couch. "y'all get some good makin' out done?" I smirked "I wouldn't tell you even if we did" Soda smirked. I chuckled and glanced at Ponyboy. He smiled and went back to doing his homework. "well I gotta go, I'll see y'all later" I smiled and went home.

I went into my room and laid in bed. I sighed and started at the ceiling. I can't believe I'm falling in love with Ponyboy. I smiled and sat up. "Keith, dinner is ready" my mom said so I went into the kitchen and got my food. I sat down at the table and started eating "how is everyone?" mom asked "um, Ponyboy is fine, Sodapop is doin' ok, Darry is just Darry, Dally is ok, Johnny is barely holdin' up and Steve is as good as he always is" I explained "good, how are you doin'?" mom asked "good" I smiled thinking of when I kissed Pony earlier. "you got homework?" she asked "nope" I smirked remembering that I threw it in a fire I saw on my way home. "alright well you should get to bed" She told me so I went back to my room and stripped down to my underwear and got in bed.

Ponyboy's Pov-

I laid in bed next to Soda and sighed. I can't believe after months of having the pain of loving someone but them not loving you back I finally get to call Two-bit my boyfriend. Of course I can't tell anyone else or they'll try to knock us straight. "what 'cha thinkin' 'bout Pony?" Soda asked "school, the gang" I lied "mmkay well get to sleep soon" He yawned and rolled over. I laid on my side and slowly fell asleep.
