Author's Note: im soooo sorry that it took me so long to update. I've beenreally busy with school and other things. Anyways, i am not quite sure how good this chapter is. I needed a chapter to get Johnny and Amber from the park and to the Curtis house so this one is probably one of the moreboaring ones. and i apologize for it being really short. i didnt want her to meet the gang in this chapter because then it would have been to long.
I want to thank angelofdeadlydarkness0010, Mrs. Benji Madden ( I like ur name btw, i am a huge fan of Good Charlotte), weirdsista, LatinaChick4life, Tootsie87, and ZiggyGurl for reviwing my story. You guys are all so wonderful and i appreciate you taking the time to review my story. You guys are what inspired me to update :)! If anyone finds a mistake pls tell me and i will fix it. I checked this over but sometimes i miss little things like commas or someting.

Oh, and being the some what forgetful person that i sometimes am, i realized that i never put up a disclamer, so here is my disclamer.
Disclamer: I don't own any of the characters from the outsiders or anything that is in relation to the book. All of it belongs to the wonderful author, S.E. Hinton. The only personI own is Amber Baker.

I have probably boared you to death by now so without further adue, here is chapter 3!

Amber's POV
The next morning I woke up to the sound of shallow breathing coming from a boy beside me. I jumped up, nervously looking around trying to find out where I was. It took me about a minute until I finally remembered that I was in the park. I sighed as the events of the night before came flooding back to me. I looked down at the bench I had been sitting on and saw Johnny, laying there still asleep. 'Maybe I should wake him up' I thought to myself.

Looking at my watch I saw that it was only 8, so I figured that I wouldn't wake him up just yet. I got up off the bench and started to walk around the park, staring into space and wondering about what I was going to do when I went back home. 'maybe I should just run away, my dad probably wouldn't care if I was gone, heck, he'd probably love the fact that I wasn't there to bother him anymore'. I groaned. I shouldn't be thinking this much, its to early.

I walked around for about 5 more minutes just admiring the beauty of the park when I heard someone say my name. I turned around to find Johnny awake and standing up in front of the bench.

"Morning Amber"

"Morning Johnny" I said smiling.

"So, what are you going to do today?" I asked walking over to him.

He didn't answer right away so I figured that he probably didn't hear me.

"Johnny?" I said looking at him.

"Hum?" he said sort of startled.

" I asked what you were going to do today"

"Oh, I don't know. Probably what I usually do. Hang with my friends and go to the nightly double."

" That's cool."

"Umm, speaking of my friends, are you going to come with me to meet them today?" he asked questioningly.

"Yea, sure. It's not like I have anything better to do" I said sadly.

Johnny's POV
I woke up in the morning to find Amber standing in front of the fountain in the center of the park.
"Morning Amber" I said.

"Morning Johnny" she said in a chipper voice while turning around to face me.

When she turned around I realized that it was the first time I actually got a good look at her. When I met her last night it was dark, so I couldn't really see to good. Now it was light outside so I could finally see what she looked like. She had light brown hair with blonde highlights that came down just past her shoulders. Her skin was a light tan color and her eyes were a light shade of brown. She was wearing a white tank top and faded blue jeans. By the look of her she was definitely not a greaser. Maybe she is a middle classer but I am guessing that she is a soc.

Soc. I let out a small sigh. Socs were never good people to us greasers, except for maybe Cherry and Marcia. I looked over to her and there was a big smile on her face. She looked so much more happier than she was last night. She seemed so nice and caring. Maybe she was like Cherry and Marcia?

"Johnny?" I heard her say. The sound of her voice awakening me from my thoughts.

"Hum?"

"I asked what you were going to do today"

"Oh, I don't know. Probably what I usually do. Hang with my friends and go to the nightly double." Oh, friends! That reminds me.

" That's cool."

"Umm, speaking of my friends, are you going to come with me to meet them today?"

"Yea, sure. It's not like I have anything better to do" she said, sadness filling her voice.

"Well, come on. Lets go find them. And don't worry, I promise that you will love them! They are really nice and fun to be around" I said as I turned and started walking towards the entrance of the park.

"I am sure they are" she answered, turning and following me out of the park.
