THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS!

TONKA TONKA to Miru Amai

I looked at her in disbelief. I wiped her saliva off my face and watched her regain her breath. Tears kept coming from her eyes and steadily rolling down her cheeks. She took a sharp intake of breath and collapsed into my chest and continued sobbing. I awkwardly patted her back and pushed away.

" Ahem, we kind of. Um you know… Class." I managed to stutter. She nodded and turned n the opposite direction. " Uh class is over here." I said and she looked at me like I was crazy.

" You expect my to go back to class now?" she asked shocked, soon she broke eye contact with me and continued walking down the halls. I took off after her. I needed an explanation.

She bounded down the steps taking the two at a time, and I fallowed as fast as I could. She ran down the street, in no particular direction. A car was speeding toward her and she stopped in front of it, knowing it wouldn't stop. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, as if savoring the last moments of her life.

The car tried desperately to stop as she stood watching it come closer and closer to her frail body.

It all seemed to move in slow motion for me. The car seemed to be going a mile an hour and her breath was so slow you could swear she was gasping for it. I ran, but my running was only a fraction of what is should be. As I reached for her waist, everything went back to normal and I snatched her away from the car, pulling her onto the sidewalk next to me as the angry driver screamed and cussed at her.

She looked at me tears streaming more freely now, and started pounding my chest. She was screaming and kicking at me, like a little child.

" Why the hell did you save me? Couldn't you see I wanted to die? Answer me Ponyboy Curtis!" she screamed at me finally turning red from anger. I did something crazy; I pulled her close to me and stoked her back. She immediately calmed down and returned the embrace, She sobbed ha into my chest and I could feel her tears bleed through my tee shirt. I have to say, this is the most awkward moment of my life.

I heard her sniffling turn into light hiccups and I pulled away to look down at her. She sure didn't look like Johnny, and didn't sound like him either. I wondered how Johnny and This girl could be related.

I lead her back to the school and waited outside the Lady's bathroom while she washed her face. When she stepped out, her face was back to a stony white color and her eyes were a lot less red.

She smiled faintly when she saw me and silently thanked me for what I had done. I shrugged it off and walked back to English with her.

Boy, I don't think I've ever seen my English teacher so mad at me. He lectured me on how it wasn't right to yell at a lady, and how I should apologize. After all of the Kids' laughter died down, we resumed our normal routine.

I watched the clock tick closer and closer to its destination. I had been running over what had happened earlier in the day. 5 more minutes, just 5 more minutes until class is over. I watched the clock for the next two minutes, but got board. I tapped my pencil on my desk and listened to my science teacher drone about something scientifically.

The class bell rang and I was the first to jump out of my seat and dash to Practice. Never, in my whole life, had I been so eager to get to track practice. I changed into my practice uniform and went to the field to start stretching.

Still standing, I spread my legs about two feet apart and started doing toe touches. I bent down, and caught a glimpse of her through my legs. I blushed slightly, and continued stretching like I didn't see her.

I gulped hard as I started doing jumping jacks, and I could feel her eyes on me. What does she want? I asked myself. I was getting really confused.

The coach showed up and told me that all I had to do was run 3 miles in under 15 minutes. I took of running down the track and saw her watching my intently. With her hair softly blowing in the wind and her elbows resting lightly on her knees, she continued to stare.

I felt myself collide with something, and looking up I saw Two Bit stumbling slightly. He re-gained his balance and looked toward the girl that he noticed I was staring at. I was blushing horrible now, but curiosity got the best of me. I looked up to see if she was still the, but she was gone.

" What the hell was that about kid?" Two Bit asked.

" It was just, I was just, I didn't-." I stuttered

" Shoot kid, it ain't that bad that you ran into me. You aint that heavy" he chuckled.

The coach was scolding me for stopping. I explained to Two Bit that I had to keep running, then I would come home and watch Mickey Mouse with him. He nodded and started skipping toward my house occasionally jumping up and clicking his heels together.
