Charmedgurl1891- I can't believe it's fixed! Sorry about the story… I had too

XAmberX- I try to update fast, I've been busy with the moving sale and all of that. Plus, I have 5 younger sisters and we must equally share the computer time (although, I think I get gyped) I'm not as convenient as Charmed up there. I think she gets an update up twice a day… What a freak… (J/k Charmed) Hey, Charmed just told me that she was planning on updating on ten minutes...

Disclaimer- I no own the book. -Sob-

Wow, I can't believe I got this out. My sisters went clothes shopping for school. My dad is going to flip his lid. We are moving soon and my mom picks now to buy clothes? Why doesn't she wait until after we move?

"Tyler Johnson, you better tell me who you'll tell!" I shouted running into his room. He was typing on his computer. He turned his head to face me. He smiled.

"Oh, just… everybody," he responded. I went to go see what he was writing. It was an e-mail. In bold, large letters it said "Amber Johnson Loves Ponyboy Curtis". I rushed over and started to hit the back space key. He just pushed me off of him. He's bigger than me. He lingered the cursor over the send button.

"Ty, c'mon, don't you dare," I pleaded. He moved the cursor to the red 'X' and I sighed a sigh of relief.

"You ought to know I wouldn't do that to you," he told me. He helped me onto my feet. "Your secret is safe with me."

"Oh, now I feel better," I shot back sarcastically. I walked into my room to find my friend huddled over my computer. "What are you guys doing?" I questioned.

"Nothing," they sang in unison. I pushed them away to see a whole bunch of IMs. It was Megan's screen name. My mouth dropped in horror. Soon, all of Comsewogue High school would know that I like Ponyboy.

"You didn't," I whined.

"We did," Jane said, between laughs. I grabbed my pillow and smacked all four of them on the head. My phone started ringing and I picked it up.

"Amb, I just heard the craziest thing," the voice on the other line said. I was trying to place it. It was probably Jenna, one of my other friends. I didn't hang out with her often.

"What did you hear?"

"You like Curtis," she squealed. It was Jenna, I could tell by the squeal. I groaned. "Is it true, or is Megan lying?"

"It's true," I said, now I wish I hadn't.

"Oh, my, god," she gasped, "I can't wait to tell everybody!"

"No, Jen, no, please, don't!" It was too late, she hung up. 'Damn,' I shouted to myself.

"Well, hate to break it to you, Amber, but we need to go," Megan informed me. The girls followed her out and into her mom's car.

"I hate you!" I shouted after them, not serious.

I plopped on my bed and threw my head back, smacking it against the headboard. How would I go through Physics tomorrow? I had to sit near him. He was sure to find out. Especially if Jenna was telling people, the whole world knew by now. I got up, shut off my cell phone and hung my 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door. I swiped that from the Hampton Inn a few miles away.

The never stopped ringing and I would always claim to be busy, that way I didn't have to talk to anybody.

"Amber," Tyler called. He was pounding on the door. "This phone call is important!" I opened the door and he threw the phone at me.

"H, hello," I stuttered. I was afraid to find out who it was.

"Amber?" Oh, kill me now! It was Ponyboy. My mouth started to dry up and I couldn't talk.

"Ponyboy?" I managed to get out.

"I heard the weirdest thing," he told me. I knew what was coming.

"Oh yeah?" I asked him.

"Yeah, Jenna just called. She said you liked me." The line went quiet for a while.

"She did?" I asked, gaining my voice back.

"Yeah, so did a bunch of other people. Is it true?" I played with my Live Strong bracelet. I did it a lot when I was nervous. I gulped.

"Maybe," I said quietly.

"Oh," he replied.

"I need to go," I told him. I didn't like this awkward silence.

"Okay, see you tomorrow," he told me. I hung up and put the phone back.

I took a shower and changed into my pajamas. I pulled the covers over my head. I grabbed my giant Reese's Pieces doll and fell asleep facing Benji, Joel, and the other guys from Good Charlotte.

"Amber, c'mon, you need to wake up!" Tyler shouted at me. Normally mom woke me up before she headed to work.

"Huh?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Mom had to leave for work early and you overslept. There's a cereal bar on the table and you don't have time to brush your teeth. Just put on some jeans and a tee-shirt; grab your flip-flops and let's go!" He shouted. I jumped up and did what I was told. I grabbed my cell phone and then hurried into the kitchen. I mindlessly grabbed the cereal bar and started to eat it.

I hoped into Tyler's car and he drove to the school, fast. I jumped out of the car, bid my farewell and rushed to Physics. I took my seat, about 2 away from Pony. I didn't glance at him. Maybe I could ignore him. I wish…
