A/N: Okay, you guys go ahead and check out I'm the Boss by spicygurl and leave some reviews. 'Kay? She worked months on that story and sadly she's only getting lots of favorites and barely any reviews. :( It would mean a lot to her and don't you love making authors happy? (Hint: They update faster!)
Terribly short chapter... but, you know, at least it's something! Oh, thanks again to ArthurDracula, you'll see that you're idea is present in this chapter. ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Really.
"So, what'd Mr. Harrison have to say?" Johnny asked as soon as I stepped out of the classroom. I almost ran into him, he was standing so close. I don't think he noticed though, "you in trouble?"
"Nah, he just said he was disappointed in me for cheating but proud that I was taking the project seriously. He said it was only natural for a young boy like me to be interested in more than one person at a time… whatever." I looked around, "where's Two-Bit?"
Johnny's sudden blush surprised me and I raised my eyebrows in question. He pointed up the hall, where Two-Bit had Kathy pinned against a wall and was kissing her heavily. Their poor baby was forgotten off to the side against Kathy's shoes. Before I knew it, the two had relocated into the Men's restroom. "Er… wanna wait for him outside?" I offered.
"Yeah." Johnny couldn't have agreed more eagerly.
We walked out and sat on the top steps so when Two-Bit and Kathy… finished, he would see us when he came out. "Johnny, what did you write on the note anyway?"
He shrugged, "I actually don't remember. I think–" Johnny was interrupted as a small body wiggled its way in between us. The person was literally the size of a pixie and her blue-black hair was shiny. By the length of the hair alone, I could tell that this was a girl. She smelled like ivory soap and sickly sweet perfume.
Before I had time to even open my mouth, the girl looked up at me and was smiling crazily. Now I knew who it was: Angela Shepard. She didn't say anything (I'm not sure if she was even blinking) just kept smiling that crazy smile. It was really starting to creep me out so I finally asked, "Yes …?"
She scooted closer to me and pulled out her "baby" then held it in my face. "Guess what I named him!" she squealed. I shrugged and lowered her arms so her baby wasn't in my face. "Well, since you named your baby after me..." Uh oh, I knew where this was going and I didn't like it. "I thought it would be fair to name mine after you. Ponyboy, meet Ponyboy Jr.!"
I heard Johnny's chuckle on the other side of her and that made me blush all the more. "Listen, Angela, that's really–"
"Oh, Ponyboy," she interrupted, "what's your middle name? That would make it official!"
"Uh… it's Michael. Angela–"
"Hmm… I like that. Ponyboy Michael Curtis…" She let it resonate in the air for a while then glanced at me. I was giving her an awkward glance. "Junior! I meant, Ponyboy Michael Curtis, Junior! That name sounds good…" I still hadn't let the awkward expression leave my face. "Um… You know Curly and Tim are waiting for me… over there. I should get going." I didn't have to look to know that there was nobody in the direction she was pointing in, but I could already tell she was embarrassed as it was. "Bye."
"See you later, Angela," I said politely, kind of like as Soda would have. When she was out of earshot, I scooted closer to Johnny and for the briefest of seconds I thought I saw him scowling at Angela as she walked away. "How weird was that?"
Johnny shrugged half-heartedly and as I was going to ask him what was wrong, but just then Two-Bit burst through the front doors. "Hey," he said, carelessly holding the baby in one hand. Kathy stumbled behind him, shouldering the baby bag, and fixing up her hair. "Hi," she greeted almost breathlessly.
"You guys want a ride?" Two-Bit asked.
I was gonna say somethin' smart, but decided against it. Instead, I settled for a "Yeah."
A/N: Review, please!
