I woke up just as the sun was rising. I replayed the events last night in my mind and I felt myself blush as I looked down to see Alex snuggled up against me with a small smile on her face. God she was beautiful. I wasn't sure if I wanted to wake her, she looked so peaceful. I laid there for a couple of minutes before I felt her stir; I looked down at her, when her eyes fluttered open. When she noticed me her eyes grew wide with fear, obviously not remembering me or where she was. She quickly scrambled to her feet. Which caused me to panic slightly too, I don't know why, but it just did.

"No no no its ookay please" I said, reaching a hand out toward her. I saw her relax a little bit; her eyes returning to there normal size.

"Sorry, I just didn't remember…" she took a deep breath and released it. "Its not everyday, I wake up to a boy staring at me." She ran a hand through her hair nervously, and sat back down. I took a seat on the ground in front of her. We sat in a comfortable silence before she broke it.

"So how old are you?" She asked pulling random strands of grass out of the ground.

"Sixteen." I said taking a quick glance at her to see her reaction, which wasn't a surprised one, to my amazement, since I looked a lot younger then I really was.

"I'm fifteen." She said. She stopped ripping out grass and fell backwards with a sigh.

"Have you started school yet?" I saw her shake her head no.

"Im supposed to start today."

"Oh …do you wanna ride? I usually get one from my friend Two-Bit, I could show you around…" I offered praying she would accept. She sat up straight and smiled at me, showing off her perfect white teeth, and her dimples.

"I would really like that, thanks."

"No problem, ill introduce you to my friends" her smile faded. "They'll like you." I reassured her. "Let's see, there's Pony Boy-"

"Pony Boy?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, Pony Boy…" she shrugged. "He's 14, then there's Soda pop," I saw her raise her eyebrow again but she didn't say anything. "He's 17…" I continued telling her the names and ages of the boys I hung out with and she just stared at me expressionless. "You wanna get some breakfast?" I asked her randomly after finishing naming off all of The Gang. She nodded. "Kay lets go" I said standing up and brushing myself off.

"Where we going?" she asked me.

"The Curtis's" I shrugged, like I expected her to know that. She shrugged also and stood up, and we started toward the Curtis house.

While we were walking, I realized how much I had been talking; I couldn't remember the last time I talked so much to a girl.

I held the front door open for Alex to walk in first; she blushed at my 'gentleman' like action and muttered a 'thanks'. We made our way to the kitchen where we found a shirtless Soda scrambling eggs, I saw her go a little red and avert her eyes toward the floor.

"Oh heya Johnny- oh who's your friend?" he asked wiping his hands off and leaning on a chair, looking at Alex.

"Oh sorry, this is Alex, she moved into the house next to me a couple days ago." Soda held out his hand to her, she hesitantly reached out and shook it. Soda gave her a genuine smile, and went back to the stove.

"You guys hungry?" he asked.

"Sure are." I said, speaking for the both of us. We took a seat at the table, waiting to be served.

"So how'd you two meet?" Soda asked from the kitchen. Alex and I looked at each other, I knew she didn't want them to know, how we really met.

"Just…just started talking, I guess." I told him. Alex gave me a weak smile.

Soda then walked in with two plates filled with eggs, toast, and bacon. We gave him our thanks and dug in.

"PONY! GET UP, BREAKFAST IS READY AND YOUR GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" Soda yelled towards his and Pony's room, I saw Alex flinch at his sudden outburst. Im not sure if she was afraid or startled. Soda then walked out of the room, leaving me and Alex alone with each other.

"I hope you're not uncomfortable with this." I said, referring to her being here, when she barely knew me, and had only met one of the Curtis boys. She gave a sad smile, and shrugged.

"Its okay, he seems nice." She said. Just then Pony Boy came in with a plate of food in hand and looking awfully tired.

"Hey johnnycakes" he muttered with out looking at me. He didn't even notice Alex until he was half way through with his meal. He looked at her for a second before swallowing his food, and wiping his face with the back of his hand. "oh sorry, I didn't notice ya there." He apologized.

"This is Alex; she's my neighbor, moved in a couple days ago." I introduced them. "She's startin' school today. I told her we'd show her around" I added.

"Sure." Pony said nodding with a big smile on his face, he finished up his meal and stood up. "Well im gonna go get some clothes on," he took a quick look at the clock on the wall. "Two-bit will be here in a bout 20 minutes." We nodded, and he left the room to go get ready.

"Do you need to get anything from your house?" I asked turning to Alex.

"Mmm… I don't think so" She said, thinking about it.

"Well…uhm you wanna go watch T.V?" I asked.

"Sure." She shrugged.

We sat on the couch, me on one end, her on the other. It was awkward, and nothing was on T.V so I turned it off. We sat in silence.

"How come you're being so nice to me Johnny?" her question kind of caught me of guard.

"I uhm, I…" god I must sound like an idiot. "I just thought, you could use a friend." I told her honestly. She smiled and scooted over to me, and with out warning she rapped her arms around me, in a friendly hug.

"I could use a friend." She said softly. She let go of me and blushed madly. I couldn't help but blush myself. Soda came out of the bathroom fully clothed and ready for work.

"Hey guys well im off to the DX, have fun at school." He said as he walked out the door.
