Brittany and I came down for breakfast, and I was incredibly uncomfortable with my best friend knowing about all of this. Pony didn't say anythin' though, he's cool like that. Brittany, however, couldn't keep her mouth shut. A lot of Socs are real popular, and I don't see many popular kids that are real quiet. I have a whole lot of things to say, but normally I just keep my trap shut. All of my emotions, my pent-up feelings…I couldn't let them come out, except for when I cried. I hated that. Other than that, writing is my only way of letting the world know about how I feel. I just wish I could actually be goin' somewhere in this situation. When Brittany and I left the Curtis', I had decided it was time to take action.
"Brittany?"
"Yeah?"
"Look, I'm real sorry 'bout what I said earlier. I wanna make this work, Brittany! With that at hand, I…I…can we just make up?
"Johnny…you really mean it?"
"Yeah."
Her sapphire eyes started glowing, and I could feel a real strong connection to her, like…I dunno, but it felt like all of my burdens had been freed, and I was ready to start over with Brittany.
I was in this, for good or bad, and there was no turnin' back.
"Johnny?"
"Yeah, Brittany?"
"Did I mention you look like a little lost puppy who…"
"Yeah, I've heard that."
"Ok, Johnny…my little lost puppy."
"I don't think I'm lost anymore…I'm not lost at all."
At all…
At all…
At all…
I'm not lost at all…
Little did I know that the old man who lost his dentures would soon be back with a vengeance.
