AN: thanks for the reviews! I wasn't expecting this many :)
Oh and terribly sorry it took so long to update; I've been a bit busy lately.
Chapter two:
(Third person)
Ponyboy? Johnny thought to himself. That's his name?
"Really?" Johnny asked. He didn't mean to be rude, but it was a strange name, he had to admit.
The boy who called himself 'Ponyboy' blushed. "Yes."
Johnny just nodded. He wasn't much of a talker, usually, so he just turned back to the class.
It turned out Ponyboy was in almost all of his classes. In his history class, Ponyboy sat next to him again.
Johnny was staring blankly at the board, listening to the teacher ramble on and on about a war. He was starting to doze off, when a piece of paper landed on his desk.
He looked around, and Ponyboy was grinning at him. He must have written it.
Hesitantly, Johnny opened the note.
So, where u from?
Johnny thought about it. Should he tell him? He figured it wouldn't hurt any.
Ohio.
He was going to write more, but he left it at that. He folded it back the same way it was, and passed it back to him.
Ponyboy grinned at the simple answer.
Why'd u move here?
The note was passed back to Johnny. When he read it, he winced. He didn't really want to go into detail about it.
My aunt wanted to get closer to me, so my parents sent me here.
Johnny felt bad for lying, but he figured he'd tell Ponyboy the real story if they ever became close friends.
But were they already friends? Ponyboy talked to him even though he was quiet. Most people avoid the dark quiet kid. But for some strange reason, Ponyboy wanted to talk to him.
Suddenly the note was on his desk. He unfolded it.
Oh. Do u hav a girlfriend?
Johnny looked at Ponyboy, but he was staring at the board. He thought that was a little bit straight-forward, but he decided to answer anyway.
Um, no. you?
When Ponyboy got the note, he shook his head to himself.
Nah, I never had 1.
Johnny seemed surprised by this. He figured Ponyboy would. They had talked a little bit in math class, and Ponyboy told Johnny he was on the track team. Johnny would have guessed girls liked an athletic guy.
Why?
When Ponyboy got the note, he grinned. He wrote down the honest answer, even if he knew it would freak out his new friend. He had to find out eventually, right?
I'm gay.
He flipped the note back to Johnny, almost getting caught. Johnny opened it, trying to be quiet.
When he read the note, he was surprised. That wasn't just something you tell everyone, especially someone you just met.
Oh.
Ponyboy chuckled to himself when he read it. He wrote down the next thing that came to mind. He hoped he didn't scare the other boy too much.
I think you're cute.
Johnny blushed bright red at this. Even with his dark tan, red could still be seen.
He found it a little…strange that a boy liked him. But at the same time he was a little…turned on, for some reason.
Johnny had never liked a guy before. He hadn't had a girlfriend either, though, but he was still pretty sure he was straight.
He had no idea how to respond to this, so he just wrote something down quickly.
Thanks…
Ponyboy grinned, and the bell rang. Johnny rushed out of there quickly, and headed to his bus. It was number 344.
He got on the bus, only to find that his attempt to escape from his new friend was pointless. Ponyboy rode his bus, too.
He sat beside him. He felt Ponyboy staring at him the whole ride. He blushed, but pretended not to notice.
When the bus got to his stop, he rushed off. He went straight into the house, closing the door behind him.
He leaned against the door. Why did Ponyboy like him so much? They had just met. He didn't even know what anyone would see in him. He was quiet and tan. He had an okay build; it wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. And he wasn't too short; he was 5'6''. He was just an average guy. The only thing that made him stand out was an ugly scar he had from his temple to his cheekbone. He didn't get what Ponyboy saw in him.
Or maybe Ponyboy was just joking. Yeah, Johnny told himself. He was just joking.
He sighed and went into the kitchen to get a snack.
Review? :D
