My friend Psychotic Mind will be helping me with this story as sort of a beta, but she writes a lot of it too. :)

We do not own The Outsiders.

Chapter One:

(Pony POV)

I watched Johnny and his girlfriend walk out of the school. Yeah, his girlfriend. I couldn't believe it at first either.

See, a couple of months ago, this new girl came to school. She started hitting on Johnny, and eventually asked him out. They've been a couple ever since.

I rolled my eyes as they came up, holding hands and laughing. Disgusting.

"Hey, Ponyboy," Johnny greeted happily.

"Hey Johnny." I looked at her. She ignored me, as always.

There was an awkward silence.

I turned on my heels, and headed home. They followed close behind.

She was chattering noisily in the background as always. I can't believe Johnny would go out with someone like her. She was his total opposite: noisy, obnoxious, and ugly.

Well, not physically. Her personality was ugly. I have no idea what he sees in her, really. The only good thing is her looks, and she's not even that pretty. On top of that, she's so stuck up it makes me wanna bang my head against a wall.

Her name's Lisa. Blech. Lisa. Even her name sounds bratty.

I glanced back at them quickly. She looked so out of place, with us greasers. That's another thing: she's a soc. I have no idea why she would wanna go out with a greaser. I understand why she would wanna go out with Johnny though.

He's cute, sweet, and just all around adorable.

Yeah, that's right. I called Johnny cute. I've had a crush on my best friend since I turned thirteen. It's been killing me inside ever since. At first I thought it was just some weird phase, just a little, stupid crush. But in time I started getting infatuated with Johnny.

I started getting hopeful when I noticed Johnny never showed much interest in girls. In fact, I was close to telling him my feelings for him once or twice. So much for that now. Stupid Lisa. She doesn't deserve Johnny. He's too good for her.

I remember when I first found out about Lisa. I was so angry I punched a small hole in my wall. I even cried for a little while. I know that sounds stupid, but I was heartbroken. Now there's no chance for Johnny to like me back. But who am I kidding anway. Johnny could never be gay. If he was gay, I'm sure he'd tell me...but then again...maybe not.

Should we continue? Yes? No?
