A/N: Sorry I left this out, but today they aren't going to school because it's a teacher work day. okay, I'm glad everybody seemed to like the last chapter :)
Thanks to all of you that reviewed! It means a lot that all of you guys like my story, considering it's my first and I'm not very good/experienced at writing.
Anyways, I hope you like this chapter. I just got home from babysitting, and its almost 1am, so this probably won't be too long, but we'll see how it goes.
Enjoy! ;)
Chapter Seven: (Ponyboy POV)
I woke up and went into the kitchen to find Nick sitting on the floor. She looked kinda cute with that puzzled look on her face. Wait, what am I thinking? She's Johnny's girl. Well, not officially, but we all know that he likes her, and I'd imagine she likes him too.
Where is Johnny anyways?
"Hey, Nick," I greeted her.
"Mornin', Pony," she mumbled. She looked real tired.
Johnny was nowhere to be found. "Hey, have you seen Johnnycake around?" I asked her.
"Him and Dallas went outside to talk, I haven't seen him since."
"Oh," I replied, "maybe I'll go look for him."
"'Kay," she said.
I went outside and looked around. I didn't see Johnny so I decided to look in the lot.
I got to the lot and Johnny wasn't there. It was then that I spotted someone walking towards me, with their head down. Johnny.
"Heya, Pony," he greeted.
"Hi, Johnny."
"So, Ponyboy, do you, uh, like Nick?" he asked me. He seemed…nervous? You can never tell with Johnny, he's always nervous.
"What? Of course, she's real nice," I said. What did he mean?
"No, Pone, I mean like really like her. Do you?"
"O-of course not, Johnnycake. Do you?" I asked. I wasn't sure if I liked her or not, but I wasn't gonna tell Johnny that.
"Yeah, remember I told ya I did," he blushed and looked away.
"Oh yeah," I replied. "Hey, let's head back to my house, I kinda left her there," I confessed.
"Okay."
We walked back to my house, and there she was, on the floor, where I left her. She seemed drowsy still.
Dally POV:
I was still feelin' a little bad 'bout bein' mean to Johnny, so I decided to head back to the Curtis's.
Once I got there, I saw her next to Johnny. I think I might have a little talk with her.
"Hey, girl, come here. We need to talk," I said in my toughest voice.
She looked a little scared, but followed me outside. Stupid broad, does anything anyone tells her to.
"Look, I see you've been a little attached to Johnny lately," I said.
"Yeah, we're real great friends," she explained. She blushed a little. What was that about? Dumb girl.
"Yeah, well friends is all you'll ever be," I told her. I glared at her and she looked scared.
"W-what do you mean?" she stammered.
"I mean you better not be messin' with Johnnycake's emotions. He's got enough shit goin' on at home with his worthless parents knockin' him around and screamin' at him. He don't need you breakin' his heart to add to all his problems. Got it?"
"Um…" she didn't know what to say. I had a feelin' she was gonna ignore my threat.
Just then Johnny walked out and said, "Hey, Nick, let's go walk around."
"Okay," she replied, "I just need to change my clothes."
Johnny nodded and they both went inside.
Johnny POV:
She changed her clothes and we went to the lot. It was a little cold so I started a fire. It was quiet out, we just sat there and listened to our breathing.
"J-johnny?" she asked. She seemed nervous.
"Yeah?"
"Do you, uh, like me?"
A/N: hehehee, I left you at another cliff hanger. Hmm. What will Johnny say? Well most of you probably already know….REVIEW! tell me what you thought of this chapter, I was a little uncertain about it.
Tell me what you thought of Dally confronting her, which I was most unsure about. I might make her tell Johnny and have Johnny stand up to Dally…oops. Gave it away. But, I don't know just yet.
Also tell me what you think about Pony.
More reviews, faster the updates! Oh, by the way, I might not be able to update tomorrow 'cause Monday I have a science test and a French test, which are both not my best subjects, so I might not have much time to write. But if I can't update tomorrow, I'll definitely update my Monday. Promise. Anyway, review! Your reviews mean a lot and help me in writing my next chapters.
Sorry this is so long. Stay gold! :D
