I don't own The Outsiders. I don't own the song Extraordinary Girl by Green Day either. I don't even own the breaking up incident…it's from the book Fake Boyfriend.
This songfic is before the events of the book.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Johnny stared at the Soc girl, somewhere around 15 or 16, from his seat at the Daily Double. He had gone with Ponyboy to see a couple of movies, but ever since he laid eyes on the girl that sat on the same row, he hadn't been able to keep his eyes off her. Her skin was lightly tanned, nearly the same shade as Johnny's skin. Her shiny black hair was short and wavy, and her eyes were as blue as Johnny's jacket. She was small, but that made her even more stunningly beautiful. It was as if she was an angel that had fallen right out of heaven.
She's an extraordinary girl
In an ordinary world
And she can't see to get away
Johnny was attempting to try to talk to her, but he was too nervous of what her reaction would be like. After all, he was a greaser, a dirty hoodlum, a JD. Also, he was scared of Socs after that beating the boy with the rings gave him…he shuddered at the thought of it.
He lacks the courage in his mind
Like a child left behind
Like a pet left in the rain
Johnny watched as the Soc girl looked towards the concession stand, and she immediately dropped the Coke that she had been drinking, the flimsy plastic top coming off of the long cup, the bubbly soda and slick ice cubes spilling out of the cup.
"No!" she gasped.
Johnny turned to look at the concession stand, and he saw a blonde Soc guy kissing a trashy greaser girl with feathered brown hair. The black haired Soc girl Johnny had his eye on stormed up to the blonde boy and screamed, "Shawn!"
The Soc pulled away from the greaser. "Isabelle!"
Isabelle stared with tears in her eyes. "What's going on?"
Shawn opened and closed his mouth, but no sound came out.
The brunette greaser interrupted. "I thought you already broke up with her!"
Isabelle gasped. "You're breaking up with me?" Her voice cracked on the last word, and the tears that filled her eyes began to overflow.
Shawn began to plead. "Look, Izzy, I was going to tell you about Tricia and me-"
Isabelle cut him off. "How long have you been going out?"
Shawn hesitated. Finally he spoke. "A month."
With these words, Isabelle ran off, wailing, to the back of the Nightly Double, attracting the attention of other moviegoers, and Shawn and Tricia left.
She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying
Johnny turned to Ponyboy. "I'm gonna get some Coke," he told his friend, and Pony just nodded. After grabbing two Cokes, Johnny ran off to see if Isabelle was okay.
Johnny finally found Isabelle behind the Daily Double, her back against the trash can and her face buried in her knees. Her body shook with sobs and tears dripped onto the asphalt beneath her legs.
Johnny cautiously approached the girl.
"Hey, you okay?"
Isabelle shook her head without looking up.
There was a moment of silence, and Johnny bent down.
"Hey, I saw you dropped your Coke…do you want another one?"
Isabelle looked up, and her tear-glazed eyes widened as she took in his long, greased hair, his black T-shirt, his blue-jeans jacket, and the scar that ran down the side of his face.
"Why do you care, grease?"
Johnny looked at the ground shamefully, and, after seeing his reaction, Isabelle apologized.
"I'm sorry about how I acted. What's your name?"
"Johnny."
Isabelle smiled. "Cute name," she remarked. "I'm-"
Johnny interrupted her. "-Isabelle, I know."
Isabelle stared. "How do you know my name?"
Johnny smiled sadly. "I saw what just happened…"
At these words, tears began to flow down Isabelle's face, like a monstrous downpour, while she tried to control them. Johnny placed the Cokes down beside him and wrapped his arms around Isabelle. Isabelle then stuffed her face into the crook between Johnny's neck and shoulder, and he could feel her tears soak through his shirt. Isabelle's arms wrapped around Johnny's body as she sobbed. Even though he didn't know Shawn, Johnny just wanted to beat up that guy for hurting such a sweet girl like Isabelle. For a good 10 minutes, they just sat there, Isabelle crying into Johnny's shirt.
She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from hers eyes
Some days he feels like dying
Some days it's not worth trying
Now that they both are finding
She gets so sick of crying
When Isabelle finally calmed down, she whispered, "I'm sorry." Johnny just nodded and said, "Its okay."
Johnny then handed Isabelle one of the two Cokes from beside him, and Isabelle accepted it happily. There they sat, slurping ice cold Cokes, talking to each other, find out more about each other. When they finished talking and drained the Cokes dry, Isabelle blushed, and then quickly pecked Johnny on the cheek.
"Thank you," she whispered, before they parted ways.
She's an extraordinary girl
Johnny's face exploded with heat, and he blushed violently before smiling.
An extraordinary girl,
"So, what's up, Johnny?"
"What do you mean, Pony?"
"Your ears are bright red."
An extraordinary girl
Johnny smiled to himself. "Naw, it's nothing."
An extraordinary girl.
