Do you know how annoying it is being called your twin brother? Well, I have to go through that, every single day.
My name is Lilac Curtis. Or as people call me, Ponygirl. I know, it doesn't sound collidable at all, that's what makes it so annoying. Ponyboy is my twin brother, we're apart by 2 minutes. I have blonde hair, green eyes and freckles. He looks just like me, just the girl version. People say twins have a very strong bond. But me and Pony? Pfft, sure, you can say that.
Ponyboy and I fight all the time. After our parents died, Darry's taken over our lives and Sodapop is probably the only one who gets us. I wish I had a lot of things. To start off, I wish I had my parents back. Second off, I wish I had my own bedroom, and not share one with a pig. You don't know what it's like waking up every morning, going to the bathroom, and seeing everything everywhere.
I haven't brushed my hair in forever, my brother Darry wants me to go to school, but I don't want to. You know why? Because of those stupid Socs! Gosh dang it, I hate them to death. My family is always swearing, but whenever I swear, they chew me out for an hour. But I how can I not swear when I hear Darry doing it everyday to someone on the phone? Having a twin is hard, but it has its good behind it, I guess.
''Lilac! Get your butt down here!'' Darry screams.
I lie in bed, groaning. I sit up and rub my eyes, I was majorly tired. I hop out of bed, and look in the mirror. My hair was messed up as always. I look to the side, and spot a hairbrush. I picked it up and saw it was all greasy. It was filled with brown hair. I sighed, I knew it was Sodapop's hair.
I put down the hairbrush and grab a plaid jacket. As I rush downstairs, I put the jacket on.
''What do you want Darry?'' I ask while reaching the downstairs.
I peek my head from the side, and see who was there. My jaw drops, my face turns red as quick as lightning. I turn back around, I let out a big sigh. Darry pops from the side of the wall.
''Come on, what are you waiting for?'' Darry asks.
I look at Darry and run upstairs. I grab the hair brush not caring about Sodapop's hair that was already in it. I start brushing my hair, it felt like I was taking chunks out of my head. But when I finished, I looked at myself, a smile actually was on my face. How? My hair, it looked good, for once, my hair looked worthy to be seen. I smile and look at my jeans. There were rips all around.
I sighed and just went downstairs, I brush off as I walk downstairs. When I arrive, I come from across the wall. He stares at me, and I start to smile. But suddenly, I wonder... What the heck is he here? Is this a prank? This can't be real, my brother's would never do this to me. I was kind of leaning towards something I knew this wasn't real. It was too good to be real.
But heck, it was really him. I had to take the chance.
''Hi Lily...'' His voice says, it was husky and sexy.
''Oh, um, hi Tyler...'' I reply, probably looking like an idiot.
''Your brothers told me that you were interested in going to movies, so... I was wondering, if you'd like to go with me.'' Tyler asks.
Did he just literally ask me out to the movies? Now I know something is going on! I put my hand on my hip and gave him an annoyed look.
''What's the catch?'' I ask.
Tyler lifts an eyebrow and looks at Darry, and than back at me. He starts to chuckle.
''There is no catch, I just want to go out with you.'' Tyler says.
My hand dropped from my hip. I looked at him, I couldn't resist that hot face of his. I sighed and accepted the date. He smiled and came up to me, and hugged me. My arms wrapped around his body. I couldn't believe I was hugging the Tyler Henderson. He has been my crush ever since he moved in to Oaklahoma. Ponyboy would always tease me about him, and I feel like he has something behind this.
Because Tyler wouldn't randomly walk in here and ask me out, I'm not that perfect. Ponyboy probably told Tyler to ask me out just to play with me. But heck, it's my crush! I'm just going to drop my worries, and go with it. Even if it was Ponyboy's plan along, I don't care anymore, I'd never get this opprotunity ever. I don't whether to thank Pony, or be suspicious with him. Who knows.
