"Hey are you Cherry and Dally?" Aurora said while walking up to their table. Dally and Cherry exchanged confused looks.
Dally leaned forward, "Who are you?"
"I'm Aurora. Aurora Randle."
"Right. Steve's sister." Cherry said to him.
"So anyways," she began "have you seen Ponyboy anywhere?"
"He went to go look for you." Cherry told Aurora
"Yeah, but we sort of um..." she trailed off and turned to the window where I was still hiding and motioned for me to come in.
I made sure that Dally and Cherry didn't see me before getting up and walking into the Malt Shop. "Hey Aurora."
"Hey Ponyboy," Aurora said to me "Are you ready to go?"
Dally looked between us "Where you two headed?" he inquired "a date?"
"No of course it's not a date," she stated "why would we go on a date and not tell you. The two of you are Ponyboy's friends."
"Well," Cherry started "you guys could date in secret. I hear tons of people do that. It's not like it's weird."
Well," Aurora started to say "no relationship is worth hiding. And if you have to hide it to be happy, it's not worth having." After that she bounded out the door leaving me with two very confused teens. There was a very awkward silence so I just decided to leave.
I followed behind Aurora. "Ready to go to The Dingo?" I asked her
"Yeah sure," she responded, obviously very pleased with herself "Wanna pretend to be my translator."
"Why would you need a translator?" I asked her "You speak english."
"You"ll see. Just follow my lead." Aurora and I continued down the street to the Dingo, but I had to stop to tie my shoe. I felt someone looking at me. When I checked to see who it was Aurora quickly turned her head. Had she been looking at me? I seriously had to do a double take when I saw her. No joke. Her hair was glistening in the sun and seemed to flow down her shoulders perfectly. It seems as if she were glowing altogether. She moved her head to look back down at me and seemed surprised to find me looking back. We were both blushing profoundly.
"What's wrong?" she asked sounding rather self-conscious
"Nothing," I told her "Nothing at all." I guess it's safe to say my face was bright red. I seriously looked like a freakin' tomato. Although, it's not like she was any better.
"Ready to go get some lunch?" she inquired
"Sure," I replied.
She held out her hand to help me up to my feet. "Come translator," she said "To The Dingo it is!" Then she took off running down the street. Obviously she didn't know I was on the track team because soon I was directly behind her and she seemed fairly surprised by this. We ran all the way to The Dingo with me in front the entire time.
"Hey look," Aurora screamed "a distraction!"
"What?" I asked, stopping and turning around to look at her.
She continued to run and went up the street passing me and made it up to the front door of The Dingo. "I win!" she shouted
"I never said it was a race,"
"You never said it wasn't and who says that you're the one to decide."
"I say so,"
"Again, why you?"
"Why not?"
"Well, what's wrong with me?"
"Nothing," I retorted "nothing at all."
"You said that earlier." she informed me
"Maybe because it's true." I stated
I hadn't realized that this whole time I was walking towards her. Gosh, what was up with me today? It was so weird. I've never acted like this before. "You ready?"
"First, I've been ready for a while. Haven't you been listening? And second that last question was improper." she told me
I chuckled and shook my head. This girl was something else. We walked inside the restaurant and Aurora whispered to me "Remember, you're a translator." Aurora said and I nodded and went over to a table and sat down. Soon a waiter came over and gave us some menus.
"Do you guys want some water?" he asked us
I was about to answer when I remembered that Aurora wanted me to translate for her so I pretended to say something to her in gibberish and she responded.
"Yes please." I said to him and he returned it with a very strange and steady stare before walking away.
"Ha," whispered Aurora "Did you see the look on his face?"
The rest of lunch pretty much continued in this way. We pretended to speak a language which I then would "translate" what we were saying into english. It didn't make sense and frankly I really didn't know why we were doing this in the first place, but it was fun nonetheless. Today was a good day.
Sorry it took so long to get up and that it's kinda lame ,but we hope you liked it anyways!
