"Gosh, Ponyboy, you're the first boy I've met who goes places with a girl and doesn't call it a date," Cherry said.

"You're the first girl I've met who doesn't think I'm a romantic because I like sunsets," Ponyboy replied.

"Oh, but I think you're an awfully big romantic, Ponyboy," the redhead teased. "I mean, you could be hanging out with your friends right now..."

Ponyboy sat up, staring at Cherry with wide eyes.

"Its not like that-- Cherry!" he exclaimed, blushing.

"Oh? So what is it like?"

Too embarressed to say anything, a silence fell over the two.
