Chapter 1

I swear it was probably the hottest day. I was sitting under a shady tree with my gang, listening to the radio. Erinne put her arms behind her head, laid back on the tree, and closed her eyes.

"You look relaxed on a hot day like this." said Nicole, placing a wet cloth on her head.

Erinne just shrugged and "supposedly" fell asleep.

I poked her cheek and she ignored me. I poked her again and she ignored me. I poked her for the third time and she started to smile. I poked her again and she opened her eyes and looked at me.

"Do that again and I'm going to throw your book across the park and land in the street so a car can destroy it, little buddy." she said, grabbing my book.

"NO!" I grabbed my book and hugged it.

"Don't hurt my book. I know! I'll name it Steven." I said, still hugging it, while she raised an eyebrow at me.

"Yea, little buddy." said Kristen, repeating Erinne's pet name for me, as I stuck my tongue at her.

All of my friends call me different names like Cracky, Little buddy, and more. I laughed at that thought. Nicole noticed and looked at me.

"What you laughin' about?" she asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Nothin'."

"Probably laughing at your face." said Kristen, turning the volume of the radio louder.

At that same time, Megan came over with some ice cream. Megan handed me an ice cream, as I sat up against the tree next to Erinne to eat it. I ate it and got wicked thirsty.

"Hey can I have some of your water, Auntie Kwisten?" I said in a baby voice.

"No, I'm sorry." she said, as I took it from her and drank some.

"Thanks." I said, and placed it back on the ground.

I laid back against the tree and let the music flow into my ears.

Nicole's POV

I was playing Slide with Kristen, while listening to music. I then grabbed my lollipop out of my mouth and attempted to stick it to Megan's head. I then heard Gina singing the lyrics to the song.

"Pretty woman walkin' down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman, I don't believe you
You're not the truth
No one could look as good as you-"

Right then, two boys walked past us. It sounds like the song is singing backwards, instead of pretty woman, its cute boy walkin' down the street...I took a good look at the boys. One looked young with jet-black hair, long and wavy with his bangs falling down on his face, dark tanned skin with a cut on one cheek, wearing a jean jacket with a blue shirt and dirty jeans with sneakers, and had big black eyes. The other one looked like the youngest with light-brown hair, greased back but some of his bangs fell on his face, wearing a gray shirt, dirty jeans and shoes. I swore he had these cool greenish-gray eyes that glowed. I looked at them while they passed. His eyes are so cool. I smiled a small smile, and turned to Kristen.

"Ooh, looks like Nicole likes someone." said Kristen, smiling.

"No I don't. Well they are not ugly, I just think they look okay." I said, as Gina looked at the boys, as they were walking away.

"They look cute. Hey can I go talk to them?" she asked, standing up.

"Go ahead. Wait they don't know you." I said, but she started to walk toward them.

"So? I want to go talk to them." she said, shrugging.

My POV(Gina's POV)

I looked at Megan, who was making a bracelet.

"Anyone want to come with me?" I asked and all three of them looked at me.

"I'll go." said Erinne, getting up.

"Anyone else?" I asked, but they all shook their heads and Erinne and I started to walk after the two boys.

"Ok, we can't scare them, or annoy them." I whispered to Erinne.

"Then why the hell are you going? If you go that's most likely to happen." said Erinne, as I rolled my eyes.

"I know, I know, but we want to be nice to these guys." I said, smirking evilly, as Erinne raised an eyebrow at me.

"And by 'nice' you mean?" she asked, as I smirked again.

"You'll see..." I said, as I saw the two boys stop and sit on the edge of the fountain.

She raised another eyebrow at me and looked straight ahead at the boys. We quietly got to the other side of the fountain.

"Well, ladies first." I said, gesturing to her to go ahead.

"Hey, you're a girl too!" she said.

"Yea, but you can go first!" I said, pushing her.

"NO!" said Erinne, and pushed me.

"Fine, we both can go..." I said, jumping on the edge of the fountain and started walking on it.

"I'm the King–I mean Queen of the world!" I said, and Erinne laughed.

"I'm sure. Don't fall in, little buddy." she said, lightly and playfully pushing me.

"Hey! If I fall, I'm suing!" I said, as she laughed.

"Well, you better get your lawyer ready." said Erinne.

"PUSH HER IN!" yelled Kristen from the tree.

I stuck my tongue out at her and she stuck it back to me. I spun around to keep walking when I missed the edge and fell into the fountain with a huge SPLASH! I rubbed the water off my face and looked up to see Erinne laughing her ass off. I smiled and started laughing too. I noticed that I was right next to the two boys. I also noticed that I got them wet when I fell in.

"Sorry if I got you wet." I said, getting up, and out of the fountain to dry myself.

"It's ok." said one.

Erinne came over, still laughing. I looked at her.

"It wasn't that funny." I said, in a baby voice and she smiled at me.

"Yes...it ...was..." she said, between laughs.

I looked at the two boys and stretched out my hand.

"Hi, my names Gina, Gina Carson." I said, introducing myself.

"I'm Ponyboy Curtis, and this is my bud, Johnny Cade." said Ponyboy, introducing both of them.

"I'm Erinne, but you can call me Mickey. That's Kristen, you can call her Cherry, that's Nicole, but you can call her Nicky, and that's Megan, but you can call her Meg." said Erinne, pointing out everyone.

"Oh." said Pony, while Johnny silently kicked a rock.

I noticed that he didn't talk much. I also noticed he had a pretty bad scar on his cheek.

"Hey, want to hangout?" I asked.

"Sure. Where?" asked Ponyboy.

"Want to go get some ice cream?" asked Erinne.

Ponyboy shrugged, looked at Johnny who shrugged, and said, "Sure."

"HEY CHERRY GET OVER HERE! WE'RE LEAVING!" I yelled as loud as I could.

The next thing I knew, Nicole, Kristen, and Megan were racing toward us. They ran right into us and we all fell to the floor while Ponyboy laughed and Johnny chuckled at us. I got up, and we started walking to the store.

"I'm going to get chocolate! My lovely chocolate!" said Kristen, already getting hyper just by thinking about chocolate.

"No, no more chocolate for you! I gave you a handful yesterday and you went crazy on me." said Erinne, as Kristen pouted.

"Hey! Gina! Let's get really hyper!" said Kristen, as I smiled.

"Yea!" I said, clapping my hands together.

"No! I already seen what you two do when your hyper separately and if you two are together and hyper, well it's the end of the world." said Erinne.

"No it's the end of all mankind!" said Megan, as we all started cracking up.

"I think you guys are scaring Ponyboy and Johnny and we just met them!" said Megan, as I looked at Ponyboy.

"Nah, you are just the weirdest girls I've ever met." said Ponyboy, and Johnny smiled.

"Thanks, we love you too." I said, putting my arm around his neck as we walked.
