Wow, chapter 10!! –Screams excitedly and runs around in circles!!- Sorry, just feels like a big accomplishment! It'd feel even bigger of an accomplishment if I reached 100 reviews though. Man, how cool would that be! Oooo, or got nominated on the wrong side of the tracks thing…when's the winners gonna be announced anyway? Anyway, on with the story!

P.S This is Johnny's dream…which is a continuation of a previous flashback that was on chapter 8.

"Who's Ponyboy?" Jill jumped in through my window and onto my floor.

I pulled the blanket up to my chin. "Nobody!"

"Ya-huh, you were jackin' off, to an imaginary friend?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Turn around!" I told her angrily.

She sighed frustratingly and turned around.

I quickly got dressed and she faced me again.

"So, who's the girl…she cute?" She smirked.

"Whoever said it was a…" then I realized something… Jill thinks Ponyboy is a girl…geez, what an idiot. I mean it's so painfully obvious- PonyBOY!!! But it'd be better for me to let her think he was a girl, so then she couldn't spread something like I was gay to the school. But she wouldn't do that even if I told her I was gay.

She would never betray me.

"What kind of weird parents would name their daughter, Ponyboy! What weird freaks. They must have been drunk!" She laughed.

I felt the anger boil inside of me. "I thought it was creative and original."

She smiled smugly, "yeah…whatever."

I got out of bed and she put her hands in her pockets, "wanna head down to the movies?"

"That's all anyone does," I said, "lets go somewhere else."

"You have no money, do you?"

"None what so ever," I said, looking down.

We headed down to the ol' diner and sat at a booth.

"So, tell me about this girl," she said, while drinking a milkshake.

"There's nothing to tell," I said, checking out a guy with auburn hair at the juke box, who reminded me of Ponyboy.

"Yeah…" she said, rolling her eyes.

"Fine. She's just a friend of mine."

"You actually have other friends then me?"

I hated it when she acted like a bitch like that.

"Yes, lots."

"What she look like?" Jill asked.

"Reddish-brown hair, and greeny grey eyes."

"Is that all the info' you're gonna give me?"

"What more can I say?"

She shrugged.

"I think I'm in love with her," I said nervously, scared of what Jill would say.

She raised her eyebrow, and stopped drinking her milkshake, "love her?"

I nodded, blushing a little, and then looked out the window, sighing lovingly, "she's always on my mind. I can't get her out of my head. It feels like there's a million butterfly's just flying around in my body, making my heart beat faster whenever I think about her, and they're in my head, also making me feel dizzy…and sort of sick in my stomach. Ever had that feeling?"

"Nope," she shook her head. She smiled and tilted her head, "I wish I could marry someone who made me feel like that."

"I'd love to marry hi…her," I blushed.

"You must really truly be madly deeply in love with her, to feel that way."

"I am," I smiled.

"She nice?"

I nodded, smiling, thoughts of him filling my mind, "she's really nice. She's also into books and sunsets and stuff. She also gets really good grades! And is on the track team! God, she's so amazing, that it's overwhelming."

"Wow, she does sound pretty amazing…she got a brother?"

"2 actually."

"Hmm…" she said, twirling her straw around in her glass.

I rested my chin on my hand and sighed lovingly, thinking about him.

God, it was so great telling someone about my feelings for him. It was like a huge load off my shoulders. I felt more lighter than ever, and thinking about him just made me feel like I was floating.

"Ponyboy," she said quietly, repeating it to herself. "Gosh, she's gotta be the only girl in town with that name!"

"From what I know of, she is."

"I'm so happy for you, Johnny," she smiled, "do you think she likes you too?"

I sighed and looked down, "there'll never be a chance of that."

She gave me a worried look, "why?"

"Lets just say… I'm not her type."

"Oh," she nodded, "well you do have very greasy hair? And you do always wear the same jeans jacket? And you are sorta scrawny, and you…"

"Okay! I get it!" I rolled my eyes.

"Is she a soc?"

"No. She just would never be interested in someone like me."

"Oh," she nodded.

"Will you quit saying 'Oh'," I imitated her. She was really bugging me now. Maybe 'cause she keeps insulting me.

"Sorry," she said leaning back and crossing her arms. "You don't have to get all angry at me though, just 'cause some girl ain't interested in you."

Then she smiled at me, "is this girl me?"

"Get over yourself," I rolled my eyes, "besides you don't even fit the description."

"Whatever," she said coyly, still thinking it was her.

"I'm not even attracted to you in the slightest bit," I told her honestly.

"You say that now, but I know what you're thinking."

"That you're starting to annoy me?"

"I know you want me, Johnny Cade."

"Think whatever you want," I sighed frustratingly.

"I mean, seriously, 'Ponyboy'?" She giggled.

"There's nothing wrong with that name!" I got up, "I'm goin' see you 'round, Jill."

"Bye," she said.

Man, I don't even know why I was friends with her sometimes! But still, it was good telling someone about my feeling's for Ponyboy, even if I wasn't entirely honest.

Wow, what an insanely short –and boring- chapter for chapter 10! Totally not worth the wait. So I'll just have to update sooner for chapter 11, and maybe an actual better flashback. I'll understand if I get no reviews for this…god it was horrible.
