DQ- Sapphire & Ponyboy

Sapphire's POV

I wonder what was Jordan doin' with that guy. I hope he'll take her on a date, and then marry her! Wait mind's movin' too fast. Jordan probably just met this guy, or did she? No time for that I'm still lookin' for a song to play on the jukebox.

"Hmm..Elvis, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash. Ooo Stay Gold by Stevie Wonder." I say excitedly. I loved that song. Mom used to play it for me when I would have nightmares. I dig in my pocket for a quarter.

"Hey, Claire. Hurry up! Oh milkshakes are gonna be here." Kallista said callin' me.

"Ok Ok. I'm comin'." I groaned. Where's that stupid quarter.

"Umm..Sapphire?" A voice ask me.

"Yeah." I turn around and see my acquaintance Ponyboy Curtis.

Ponyboy's POV

The fifteen year old stares back at me, in shock.

"Sapphire." I push on.

"Oh I'm sorry. I just didn't expect for ya to be here." Sapphire said standin' on tiptoes. I'm a little taller than her.

"Oh I come here every Friday with the gang." I smiled at the girl. Sapphire was cute in my eyes. She had everything I would want in a girl. A girl that likes to go to the movies, read books, have a older sister nag at her and gets good grades. Wow that's all her.

"Ugh, I can't find my quarter." Sapphire said as she dug in her pocket once more.

"Here." I said to her. I gave her the quarter in my fingers.

"No Ponboy I couldn't." She said diggin' in her pockets once more.

"Look we both wanna listen to the same song anyway." I said givin' her the quarter. She took the quarter uncertainly and placed it into the machine. The song started to play. She swayed to the song.

"Thanks Ponyboy." she smiled. I don't know what love is, but I feel a little tingy inside. Maybe just a crush.

"Ponyboy, how come you never talk to me?" she asked me.

"'Cause I'm a little shy, honestly." I said.

"Oh, well I hear people gossipin' 'bout ya wantin' to become a writer. I think that pretty decent for a Greaser Guy, Pony." Sapphire smiled at me.

"Really, Darry thinks it's stupid, and a waste of time." I said lookin' down.

"I want to become a writer too, Pony. And Jordan doesn't approve, but I still write. You shouldn't listen to Darry. You could make somethin' of yourself, Pony." Sapphire said straighten up a little.

"Thanks, Sapphire. Wanna go to the movies this weekend with me?" I asked.

"Sure, why not. What time I have a curfew?" Sapphire said hands on her hips. I know what she's thinkin'. She thinks I'm tryin' to-ya know. But I'm not. I just want an outing with a friend.

"6:00." I answer, "My curfew's at 8:00. Or Darry's gonna call the police."

"That's a coincidence. That's my curfew too. I'll see ya Saturday, Pony." Sapphire said as she started to walk back to the table with her friends. I have my first date with Sapphire Juliet Henderson. I need help.

Sapphire's POV

"Hey, girls." I say nervously.

"Hey, Sapphire. Here's ya shake." Laney said slidin' the milkshake flask to me.

"Thanks, Laney." I laugh.

"So, Sapphire..who was that boy who was talkin' to ya?" Kallista asked. Oh God. That what I didn't want 'em to ask me.

"Yeah who was he?" Laney asked cheerily.

"He's just a friend in my class. He's fiffteen like me. We both love to write." I said looking at my vanilla milkshake. I think I was slowly fallin' for him. Ponyboy is charming and handsome. He loves books and movies. Maybe I've found the one I've been lookin' for. Jordan nor Katy will ever approve.

"What's his name? He is cute, Sapphire." Kallista asked lookin' at the boy from across the DQ

"Kallista, news flash, he's too young for yer. You'll snap like twig." Laney said takin' a sip of her shake.

"Fine, kill Kallista's fun." Kallista said foldin' her arms and poutin'.

"Anyways, Sapphire whatda he ask yer." Laney pushed on.

"He just asked me to go to the movies with him this weekend." I said stirring my straw around in my milkshake flask. I looked up at Laney and Kallista. Kallista's eyes were widen, and Laney mouth was wide open.

"He asked yer what!" Laney exclaimed.

"You heard Laney. Wow! Sapphire yer gonna have to tell Katy and we are goin' to dress yer too." Kallista said leanin' in closer into my face.

"Fine. But niether one of yer can tell. That includes you Kallista!" I said finally takin' a sip of the milkshake.

"Fine I won't kiss 'n tell." Kallista said.

"What does that even mean?" Laney asked her.

"It's means-" Kallista started.

"No time." I said.

"Fine Sassy." Kallista snapped.

"Good Yolanda." I said with an attitude. Kallista could've choke me.
