mintues since I put on chapter1! HA! LoL...long awaited my ...
oh nevermind...R/R, PLEASE!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Heaven woke up on a really cold, hard surface. Someone made a
slight attempt to pad the area where she slept, but the lumpy blanket
had only caused her back to hurt. 'How did I get her?' she thought.
Then she remembered the algebra book. So did her face, which throbbed
horrifically. She tried to sit up, but opening her eyes and seeing
Pony and Angel, she thought better of it-she didn't want to cause a
scene. Pony was doing some kind of work in a nearby chair, and Angel
sat next to him filling out paperwork in her Skeeters uniform. Heaven
quickly decided to pretend to be asleep. they were only a few feet
away, and being greasers, they talked so loud, everyone stared-and
Heaven could hear every word of their conversation.

"...and, oh god, Angel, it was great. She was kinda acting
like my girlfriend or something, for like, a whole 5 minutes..."
"Whoopee!" muttered Angel. She looked at Pony, who was glaring at her.
"Aww, I'm sorry kid. No offense meant." "Yea, yea." "But what happened?
I mean, did you see who did it?" Yea, I told you! Bryan Phillips.
I'm gonna kick that socs ass for what he did to Heaven!" More people
stared at the two arguing. "NO! Pony, if you get in trouble even one
more time, one more fight, anything, I know they'll take you away
from Darry. Then who's gonna keep an eye on Heaven for me?" He sighed,
knowing Angel; was right. Pony always admitted when he was wrong.
"I know, I know. But when we were walking together, arm in arm, I
felt... I can't even describe it!!! It was like the best and worst
of everything. I never ever wanted it to end. And when I heard Bryan
yell, and watched Heaven hit the floor, I just got the feeling that
it would be the last time Heaven would trust me, because I didn't stop
it." Angel shook her head and put her arm around Pony's shoulder.
"No, Heaven's a smart girl-she knows you, and she knows that you
didn't have anything to do with this. And you did the right thing
after it happened, taking care of her instead of Bryan." "If you say
so... I just brought her here, and they only let me stay since I'm
'family'.... or maybe it was because I'm the only conscious person
in this school that can give the phone number and stuff." Angel
chuckled.

"Well kid, you gonna stay here with Heaven while I go get
Johnny or do you wanna come with? I can pull you out when I get back
if you wanna get outta classes early... hey! WOO-HOO! Pony?" she waved
her hand in front of his face. 'Kids got it bad...' she thought.

"Did you ever feel like you could just watch someone forever?
Like all you have is all you'll ever need?" He pulled his eyes away
from Heavens 'sleeping' body to face Angel, who stared back
increduoulsly with an eyebrow raised. "No?" said Ponyboy, obviously
trying to cover up his last comment and failing miserably. "Yeah,
well... me neither." although his spreading blush told otherwise.
"Ok, kid, I'm out for a few. I'll be back." She leaned to give Pony
a sisterly hug, then walked away. After a few steps, she stopped and
turned around. "Pony?" He looked up at her from his Spanish. "Thanks
again. We owe you." Pony waved her off, as if to say... 'it was
nothing', and she left.

"Heaven, if only you knew..." he said aloud, more to himself
than to her.

'But I do Pony... I do.' thought Heaven. She went back to
sleep-for real-to try and escape romantic thoughts of Pony, and one
hell of a migraine.

* * *

Heaven felt herself being lightly shaken. "Heaven, honey.
C'mon, let's go home." she heard Angel say. Heaven tried to sit up,
but realized the strength she sought wasn't there. And her head hurt-
badly. "I wanna lie down..." she moaned. Suddenly she felt herself
being lifted up, Superman style. Finally opening her eyes, she looked
up, squinting. Pony stared down at her. With a smile, he said jokingly,
"Hey gorgeous-ready to go?". She groaned again and put her arms around
his neck. She could hear Angel and Johnny snickering from somewhere
behind Pony. "I got the door", said Johnny, running ahead, opening the
door, and motioning for Pony to carry Heaven out. "Da-dum-dum-dum!
Da-DUM-dum-dum!" sang Angel. Pony glared at her over his shoulder.
"If I weren't carrying you sister, I'd flip you off." "Ooh, I'm shaking
in my boots!" laughed the eldest Marquin sister. 'Sure is strong for
just 16!' thought Heaven.

Pony walked out of the office and into the hallway. Everywhere,
motioned ceased. Everyone saw Pony and Heaven. She had fallen asleep
in his arms, so of course, she didn't notice. But Pony did. His face
and ears turned bright pink as he stopped dead in his tracks. Angel,
trying to be the heroine as usual, pushed Pony and Johnny out the
school doors and towards the parking lot. She walked backwards so she
could yell at the kids teasing Pony.

"Damn kids, don't have anything better to do than pick on
other kids..." she fumed. "Next time they do something like that,
I swear to god, I'll..." "Leave it to Pony." interrupted Johnny. He
planted a kiss on her lips.

Ponyboy looked back and rolled his eyes at the couple making
out in the parking lot. He walked to the car, Heaven still in his
arms. Meanwhile, Angel and Johnny kissed, and the teasing of immature
high school freshman turned into the hollers of immature high school
seniors.

Eventually, they got home.
