Here is chapter 14 finally Ponyboy has met a girl named Courtney and they really seem to be hitting it off. Let's find out what happens

Pony's P.O.V.

"Well the Paul Newman movie was good not that I watched it all the way through. I kept stealing glances at Courtney and she kept stealing glances at me. All throughout the movie we would stare at each other and look away, it was a great night."

As Ponyboy and Courtney got up from their seats and out to the lobby Ponyboy was the first to speak.

"Great movie, don't you think?" Courtney looked at him and smiled "Yes, it was a great movie!"

There was a moment of silence and then Ponyboy asked. "Would you like me to walk you home?" He was nervous he had to keep his hands in his pockets because they were sweating something awful. She looked at him for a moment and blushed.

"Sure, I'd love for you to walk me home." Ponyboy smiled back at her. As they made their way outside Ponyboy noticed Darry's truck.

"Would you excuse me for a moment there is someone I need to talk to." Ponyboy said and Courtney smiled and said "okay."

Ponyboy made his way to the truck and Darry said. "Hey kiddo how was the movie?" Ponyboy looked at him and said. "It was good."

"Well, are you ready to go?" Darry asked. Ponyboy looked at him nervous.

"Um, Darry would you mind if I didn't go home with you. There is this girl I met at the movies her name is Courtney and I offered to walk her home."

Darry looked at his brother shocked and amused at the same time and the he noticed a girl standing on the sidewalk. "Is that her?" He asked Ponyboy.

"Yeah." Ponyboy answered with a big smile on his face.

"Are you sure you two don't want to ride with me in…

"Yes, I'm sure." Ponyboy cut him off. "We'll be just fine walking home and I'll be home by curfew." Ponyboy was getting flushed and Darry couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, okay little buddy settle down, I was only offering." Darry said while laughing.

"I'll see you at home." Ponyboy said he was a little mad.

"Alright, I'll see you at home." Darry said smiling before pulling away.

"Who was that?" Courtney asked when Ponyboy walked back up to her.

"That was my oldest brother Darry." Ponyboy said as they started to walk in the direction of Courtney's house.

"You have another brother?" Courtney asked.

"Yeah, his name's Sodapop."

"Wow that's a unique name but I like yours better." Courtney smiled and Ponyboy felt his face get hot again.

"Yeah my parents were very unique people." Ponyboy said.

"Were you mean they died?" Courtney asked.

"Yeah in an auto accident about eleven months back." Ponyboy said kind of sadly.

"Oh, I'm sorry for bringing it up." Courtney said. She didn't mean to bring up sad memories for him. Ponyboy noticed this and said "Courtney you don't have to be sorry about it. I miss them but I get better with each day." Ponyboy liked her even more because she showed she really cares about his feelings and he liked that in a girl.

"So what made you decide to move here to Tulsa?" Ponyboy asked.

"My family moved here from the Southern part of Indiana. My dad got a new job with better pay working at the Steel Mill down here." Courtney said.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Ponyboy asked.

"No, I'm an only child I've always wanted a brother or sister though." Courtney replied with a sigh.

"Well, if it makes you feel better you can have one of my brothers." Ponyboy said laughing.

"Your brothers sound really great, I wouldn't mind having one." Courtney said laughing along with Ponyboy.

After they stopped for a minute Courtney turned towards Pony. "Um, Pony could I ask you a question?" Ponyboy turned towards her. "Sure what's on your mind?"

"Well, I've heard around school the differences between Greasers and Socs and I was just wondering are you a Greaser?"

"Um yes I am." Ponyboy admitted with his head down he sometimes hated to admit he was a Greaser to girls cause they would turn away from him.

"I'll understand if you don't want a filthy greaser walking you home." Courtney could see the expression in his face and immediately felt bad.

"Oh, I'm sorry Pony for making you feel bad it's just the reputation that I heard about Greasers at school was that they were mean and nasty and caused nothing but trouble."

"That is our reputation Courtney being branded as troublemakers." Ponyboy said.

"Not you I can tell your not a troublemaker in fact I think you are very bright and sensitive." Courtney complimented and Ponyboy felt his ears and cheeks redden he was glad it was dark out.

"Well you know what I thought you were when I first saw you in class?" Ponyboy asked.

"What." Courtney replied.

"I thought you were a Soc I've seen you around school a couple a times and after I heard your poem I wanted to compliment you on it. But at our school you don't see a Greaser and Soc talking." Ponyboy admitted.

"People have said that I'm a Soc around school and stuff but the Socs that I've seen are snobby and I'm not that way I'm just shy and quiet. I guess you could say my parents are rich since my dad owns a chain of steel mills, but I don't flaunt my money like the kids at school do. I wasn't raised that way my parents are very open-minded and they like people for what's on the inside not outside, I'm the same way." Courtney replied honestly.

Ponyboy was just amazed he has never met a girl like Courtney who would be categorized as a Soc but liked everybody. She was too amazing for words.

"So would I be called a Soc around here?" Courtney said snapping Ponyboy out of his thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm afraid so." Ponyboy said

"Well even if it's wrong to be a friend with you just because you're a greaser is stupid I'm going to be friends with you anyway, I don't care what the others think." Courtney said with pride. Pony just smiled at her.

"Well, we're here!" Courtney said snapping Pony out of his thoughts once again.

They walked up to the porch and Courtney went to her door. "Thank-you for walking me home and keeping me company Ponyboy." Courtney said smiling.

"Your welcome." Ponyboy said and the next thing he knew Courtney kissed him on the cheek. Well gotta go your still going to show me around Monday right?" Courtney asked.

"Huh, yes I will." Ponyboy said in a daze.

"Alright then Goodnight Ponyboy."

"Goodnight Courtney." Ponyboy said smiling at her. Courtney smiled back and closed the door. Ponyboy came down the steps when he noticed a very familiar truck he walked up to it.

"Darry what are you doing here? Did you follow me the whole way?" Pony asked very annoyed.

"Well, I just wanted to see where you were taking your girlfriend." Darry laughed.

Pony gave him a mean look. "I'm sorry Pone I'll never do it again, get in so I can give you a lift home." Ponyboy got in and didn't say anything until Darry broke the silence.

"So what's this Courtney friend of yours like"?

Ponyboy looked at him and said "Darry she's perfect inside and out." And then he continued to look out the window.

Darry looked back at the road smiling because his brother was so happy.
