Okay, this is my first story EVER, so I forgot a few things.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Outsiders. I do, however, own Nick and her family.
A/N: please review! Constructive criticism is welcome! This is my first fanfiction, so I'm kind of new at this.
Chapter Two: (Johnny POV)
Boy, I wonder how Ponyboy knew I liked that girl. I'm real excited 'bout tonight. I wonder if she'll talk to me. Lord knows I'm not good at startin' conversations. Glory, she sure is pretty.
It was three o'clock, and I had lots of time to blow. I headed to my house, only to see my parents fighting, so I just went to the lot. I sat under a tree and started thinking about how pretty Nicole was. Boy she sure was a looker, with her pretty eyes and long dark hair…
"Johnnycake, wake up!" I heard right in my ear. It sounded like…Ponyboy? I opened my eyes, and sure enough, there he was with a grin on his face.
"Come on man, we gotta go get Nick!" he said as he dragged me up from my spot under the tree. I reluctantly got up and followed him.
When we got to her house, she was waiting on the porch. She had a dress on, not too fancy, but it looked good on her. It was a modest dress; it looked real nice. She came up to us.
"Hey Ponyboy, Johnny," she greeted. She looked at me and smiled, causing me to blush.
"H-hi," I stuttered. Oh yeah, real smooth Johnny, I thought to myself.
She just smiled and we headed to the movies.
(Nick POV)
Johnny sure looked cute. It was cute how he blushed all the time. I think I like him a lot.
We got to the nightly double and paid for our tickets. We got seats, fairly close to the front. We had just sat down when Johnny spoke.
"N-nick, you want to get some popcorn?" he asked nervously. I nodded and smiled. He got up and I followed.
When we got to the concession stand, it was a little bit awkward. He just stood there, any previous bravery gone, not knowing what to say. I decided to speak.
"So, Johnny, are you and Ponyboy real close?"
That seemed to get him talking. "Yeah, and we got the gang, too. There's Dallas, Two-Bit, Sodapop, Darry, and Steve. We're all real close."
Wow, I thought. That was the longest sentence I had ever heard Johnny say. He must feel real strongly 'bout these guys.
"Tell me about them," I said.
"Well, Dallas is from New York, he's real tough. Two-Bit is the wise-cracker of the gang, Sodapop is wild and reckless. Darry is like the parents to Pony and Soda, and Steve is always there when you need him."
We were moving up in the line, so I didn't have a chance to say anything else to him. I smiled, he blushed, probably surprised he talked that much. When I met him, right off I could tell he wasn't much of a talker. But glory, I could listen to him talk all day, with that voice of his…
We got back to our seats and sat down. The movie was some sort of beach movie. It was getting good, when all of a sudden something happened.
"Alright, greaser, you've had it now!" a voice said menacingly from behind us. Johnny turned white as a ghost, and turned.
"Glory, Two-Bit, you scared the livin' daylights outta me," Johnny said. He was trembling.
"Sorry, kid, I forgot," he replied. "Well, well, who do we have here?" he said looking me over.
Ponyboy spoke up for the first time since we got to the movie, "Her name's Nick, she just moved here."
Two-Bit nodded, and we finished the movie. After it was over, we all headed to Ponyboy's house. I met the whole gang; Dally didn't seem to like me too much.
It was getting late, and I lived right next door, so I decided I'd better go.
"Hey, everyone, it was nice to meet you all. I'm gonna head home," I told them.
"I'll walk you," Johnny said quietly. He was right next to me, so only I heard it. I was about to object, after all it was right next door, but Johnny just looked so cute. I said a quiet "thanks" and we left.
When we got to my house (which didn't take that long considering it was right next door), we stopped at my door step.
"Thanks for walking me home, Johnny," I said. This time it was my turn to blush.
"You're welcome," he said with a shy smile. If I thought he was good-looking before, it was 'cause I hadn't seen him smile yet. His smile was just so…adorable.
"'Night, Johnny," I said. He said a quiet "night" and walked off. I went inside and up to my room. I really like him, I thought to myself. I wonder if he goes to my school…
And that night, I fell asleep thinking of Johnny…
