*Whew*
Disclaimer: I do not own the Outsiders. I only own Leah and Jane. Please do not try and sue me because believe me you won't get much.
A/N. I love getting reviews from you guys, keep them up. Also Leah has been with the guys for about three months now and Jane been there for about two. Hey I'm not going to describe everyday.
*Johnny's POV *2 weeks later*
Well, it was official. Leah was my girlfriend now and Jane was Ponyboy's. Not really Ponyboy's because that makes it sound like he owns her, and even I know that's not a good basis for a healthy relationship. It was more like they both knew they both liked each other and they would hang out more, but this could have kissing added in. Dally and the other guys had always warned us about girls. They were talking about the Greasy kind. The girls that were loudmouthed, too flirty, wore too much makeup and tight clothing, and swore too much.
None of them ever said a thing about girls like Leah and Jane. I guess because no one ever thought that nice, intelligent, funny girls would even acknowledge our existence. Sometimes I think Pony and I are the luckiest guys in the world because we've found girls we can just be ourselves with, and I hope the girls feel the same way. I left the war zone that was my house and went over to the Curtis's. When I opened the door, Leah was standing there with a smile on her face. "Morning Johnny", she said "Hey Leah, how are you?" "I'm pretty good." I nodded and saw the look on her face. It seemed almost pained. We had
decided to keep our relationships a secret from the other guys,and sometimes it was hard to pretend. I wanted to kiss her and just sit and talk like we do when
we are alone. I know keeping it a secret is hard on Ponyboy too because he told so me yesterday.
*yesterday* The bold text is Ponyboy.
I was walking around and I saw Ponyboy in the lot and went over to him.
"Hey Pony."
"Oh hey Johnny".
"What are you doing out here?"
"Ohh I don't know. Just thinking I guess"
"Well that's always a good thing to do"
"Suppose so"
There was a short pause and then Ponyboy burst out with
"Johnny, I think I want to tell the other's about Jane and I"
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Why exactly?"
"Because pretending is getting hard. Sometimes I want to just be with her, and we have to sneak around just to do that."
"I know what you mean. It is getting difficult. Do you think we should tell them?"
"I don't know. The reason we all decided to keep it quiet was so the guys wouldn't make fun of us."
"Do you mean make fun of just us or us and the girls?"
"All of us of course. I'm not embarrassed that I like Jane, but I don't want to put up with all of the teasing and lectures."
"I see what you mean. Can't you just imagine the guys trying to lecture us about
relationships and relations?" Ponyboy laughed out loud
"Can you imagine Two Bit's lecture?"
I started laughing myself.
"Or Dally's?"
By now we were
laughing so had we were falling over. Ponyboy managed to gasp out:
"So.. do. you.. think..we should.....tell the...girls?"
"Haha.... Yeah... we probably should..."
"I think...*gasp* they feel the same way."
" So ...*pause*... do I."
We agreed to ask Leah and Jane about telling the guys the next morning.
*Back to where the story was*
I went inside and saw Jane and Ponyboy sitting on the couch.
Are we alone?", I asked. Pony nodded," Yeah the other's won't be back
for a while."
That's good. Umm Kit and Jane?
They both looked at me.
"Yes?"
"Ponyboy and I have been talking a lot",I began
"About what?" asked Leah
"We want to tell the other's we're together", Pony said
Leah and Jane started laughing. It sort of puzzled Pony and me. "What 's so funny" he
asked?
"Leah and I were going to tell you the same thing", Jane said.
Johnny and I laughed with them and then we all embraced. We were in the middle of celebratory kissing when the guys walked in. We all quickly broke apart. "Hey guys", Leah said.
Two-Bit raised an eyebrow,"What do we have here?"
"Ohh I'm Pony's girlfriend and Leah and Johnny are together", Jane replied.
Sodapop looked at Ponyboy and grinned. Darry, Steve, and Dally stood there for a moment. I wasn't sure what Dally was going to say. I knew he liked the girls, but I was the sort of pet of the gang. I wasn't supposed to have a girlfriend in his eyes. Just then Dally smiled a little. "That's great guys," he said.
All of the others agreed. *Whew*
