"Sure ya do," Steve teased. "each time this boy talks, you get red as a beet."
"I think it's nice, Johnny has a girl crushin' on him. Go ask her out, Johnnycakes" Two-Bit laughed.
"Quit it, Two-Bit!" Johnny begged.
"Ahh, no fun."
"Let's get to school, Darry'll skin me and Miley if we're late." Pony said, changing the subject.
School was okay so far, I had classes with both Johnny and Pony, and of course, my assigned seat was next to the boy with a tanned, cautious face. In every class I sat next to him. We were in English now. My best subject. We were learning Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and the teacher was picking partners for a project based on the play.
"Miley, Johnny, you two will be partners and your assignment is to rewrite the balcony scene in modern english then act out in front of the class." the teacher smiled at us then moved onto the next team. Johnny lowered his head as I wrote my name on the paper and cautiously handed the paper to Johnny. After he was done writing his name, the bell rung and he ran off.
"Why doesn't he like me…?" I wondered as I gathered my books and headed to Biology with Pony.
OoOoOoOo
-Johnny's P.O.V-
I knew I hurt Miley's feelings when I left like that. But I was really just scared to talk to her, and now with this project… I'm too dumb to re-write that scene… and even if I did help, I'd probably sound dumb to her. I kinda think she's cute but Dally said that when girls are like that, its just to play us guys… I didn't want to believe it.
As I walked into Biology, Miley was already there, catching up on things with the teacher. I took my seat and Pony sat next to me.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey.." I mumbled. I wasn't in the mood to talk.
"So…Do you like Miley…really?" I saw a smile tug at his lips.
I looked down then sighed. "I really don't want to talk about it, Pone."
Thankfully Pony understood and started with the warm-up.
"HEY GUYS! STEVE RANDALL JUST TOLD ME THAT JOHNNY CADE LIKES PONYBOY'S SISTER!" Some boy shouted. Everyone started to circle around me. Saying things like, 'no way' and 'she wouldn't want that grease-ball'
I saw Miley look at me with a sad face. With my burns rubbing against my clothes and this embarrassment, I couldn't stand to be here. I stood up and pushed past my classmates and towards the door.
"Get back in here, Mr. Cade." the teacher called but it was too late. I was already at the front door and I ran towards the DX, I wondered what Sodapop was up to
OoOoOoO
-Soda's P.O.V.-
I hadn't seen Danii since the night we went dancing, and from the look on her face when she came into the DX, she was awfully mad.
"Hey" I smiled and walked to her.
" 'Hey'? You took me out once and left me for 2 weeks and all I get is 'Hey'?" She growled. I stared at her confused.
"I…I'm sorry?" she scoffed and began to yell again but I kissed her to calm her nerves. Pulled her gently to me and she wrapped her arms around my neck, forgetting why she yelled at me. When I pulled back she smiled.
"Um..ok…Wow." She breathed. I chuckled at her.
"I'm sorry, I just…with all of this drama this week I couldn't even think right. The state fair is coming to town soon. Want to go with me?"
She smiled and nodded. "Ok"
OOoOoOoOo
