Told You So!

Yeah, I know, I havn't/haven't (what ever/ whatever!), updated in a month or so. I'm ashamed already! I'm having a writters block, yah know!

Has this ever happend to any of you who are writers? You start the story with exactly in mind for a plot, then when you actually start writting it, you realized that you need to make it more drastic, like, make it have more of an affect?

Also, if you're like me and write out the chapter then type it do you ever notice(haha, I finally realized how to spell it!) that what you write is diffrent from what you type, like it becomes better in some ways, and worse in others?

Well, this is for all of my readers who have to handle me updating only when I'm in the mood to type!

Disclaimer: I blah, blah, blah! Do we really have to do this? Just refer to my other ones, its exactly the same!
When we arrived back at the house, Ponyboy was anchiously waiting. "I called Steph while you were out...," then his eyes drifted to down to the linking of me and Johnnys hands and I saw a glint of dissapointment in his eyes. Why should he care! He's the one who said yes to Steph!

"Yeah, what did she say man?" Johnny asked, trying to break the silence.

"W-wha--- oh, yeah, she can. I was gonna go pick her up, head down to the DX. Soda and Steve wants to meet the girl first! Well, Soda does, Steve just yelled for Soda to stop yellin' or else they were gonna be late..."

"Okay, fine with me," I replied interupting Pony before I could give him a chance to finish.

Yeah, I know I should be happy that I have a date. Don't get me wrong! I love Johnnycake just as much as I love Sodapop, Steve, Darry, Two-Bit, hell even Dally, but, its not the same. No matter how much I love the guys, no one will ever take the place of that spot I have for Ponyboy. Besides, Johnny and I arn't really dating! We're just goin' as friends!

Silence filled the porch as the tension was rising. I couldn't look Pony in the eyes because I knew that if I did I would start crying. Pony was looking up into the sky which was beginning to darken. When he glanced up I looked into his eyes, as if he felt the weight of my stare he looked into mine. Oh no, he knows! I thought to myself as I looked away.

"Uh, if we're gonna leave it should be soon man, its getting late," Johnny broke the ice again. Remind me to thank him later.

"Yeah," Pony replied, still eyeing me, before I felt the weight of his stare disappair, "lets go."

3 minuets later...

We arrived at Stephine's house a few minuets later. She was a middle classer. "Hiya Ponyboy!" Steph said stepping out of her house.

"Hi," Pony said hugging her reluctantly, atleast I think it was.

Steph, was a pritty girl I've gotta admit, which just adds more to my jealousy. She was tall, almost taller then Pony. She's got Auburn straight silky hair which goes down to about two or two and a half inches below her shoulders. Her skin is such a slightly light even tan, that she almost looks pale. She has blue eyes and a nice body. She is practically flat, chestwise anyway. Stomach wise she isn't practicly flat, she's exactly flat. But, with all of her thinness, she manages to have a plump butt. And if its just me, she can't stop smiling to say her life, she must be really excited.

"Hi y'all, you must be Johnny," she says smiling, shaking Johnny's hand, "and you must be Elektra," now she's shaking my hand. "I've heard so much about y'all!"

"And you must be Steph, its so good to finally meetcha!" I replied with a fake huge smiley and fake cheerfullness in my voice. I think only Ponyboy and Johnny heard. "Hey, I think I've seen ya at school! Arn't you a cheerleader?"

"As a matter of fact I am," she said proudly.

"Oh, didja know she's also the student president at our school?" Pony said.

"Yah, I'm aware I remember I voted for you, Steph," I replied with cheerfull regret. Just remind me why! Oh now I remember, because you were gonna donate to the school band! (I'm a trumpet player in the school's marching band.) (A/N: What I just put in ( ) isn't an authers note, even though I am a trumpet player.

As, we were walking down to the DX, Pony and Steph in the front, Johnny and I following behind. I guess Johnny could sense my jeolousy. "Ele, don't start anything," Johnny said in a soft voice so only me and him could hear.

"Me, not a chance? Why would I want to smudge that smile off of little 'miss-I-AM-#-1!'" I relplied mimicking a cheerleader. (A/N: I don't have anything against cheerleaders though.

"Shh! Do you want her to hear you?"

"Gladly!" I said evily with nothing in my voice except jeolousy. "Look, I know she is nice and everything, but I just can't stand the fact that I could've been the one standing next to him up their. I missed my chance."

"Well, its not her fault she had the courage to ask," he replied impationtly.

"It feels like, I lost my train ticket, and she found it on the ground and used it," I said, looking up at him. "Besides, Its harder to ask a guy you like out when your friends with him. If you don't know the guy that well its easyer. What do yah have to lose? Sure, you could change how a guy you hardly know thinks of you. But, when its a friend, or in in this case a good friend, you have alot to lose."

"What do you mean? How's it diffrent?"

"I mean," I say looking at my feet, "If its a good friend and you ask him out, if he says yes its wonderful. But, what if you brake up and risk losing a great friendship. Or, if he says no. It's embarrassing, how can I not act diffrent? What if he thinks of me as 'the friend who loves me but sorry I can't return the favor, friend' every time he sees me, and still wrisk losing a good friendship!"

"Well, I guess its a risk, sooner or later you'll have to make," he said hopefully, "because I'm not gonna be around listening to all of your babbling denial," in a sarcastic voice.

At the DX Station!

When we arrived as usual, girls were surronding Sodapop, "Get out of here you vultures! If you want Soda, buy some! Some where else! Go on, move it!" I yelled shooing them away. They all went scattering, but not until I heard voices mummbling foul words.

"Thanks, I owe you!" Soda replied, "just don't let the boss know you kicked out all the costumers!"

"So, wheres Sandy, usually thats her job, is she sick or something?" I really need to talk to her!

"I don't know. I think she's out with some friends," Soda said. "So, you must be Steph! How yah doing?" He replied with a grin.

"I'm doing fine, thankyou for asking! You must be Sodapop? Pony tells me alot about you! No wonder where he gets his looks from!"

"You mean the ha-... ouch! Johnny you didn't have to do that!" I said rubbing where he elbowed me.

"Sorry, tripped." he spoke.

"Well, we should get going, bye!" Pony told Soda and the rest of us said our goodbyes!

At the Nightly-Double...

"So, what are we all seeing?" Steph asked.

"A horror," Johnny replied softly.

"What? I couldn't hea-" Steph started to say.

"A horror film," I said loudly and rudely interupting her.

"Oh..." she replied dissapointingly.

"Do you not like thoughs films?" Pony asked as we sat down in our seats. Johnny sat on the end, me next to him, Ponyboy sat on the left of me, and next to him was Steph sitting on the end.

"Its not that, its just that I get creaped out easily."

"Thats too bad... ouch! Johnny!"

"Sorry, Elektric!" Hahaha! He used Elektric.

"Yeah it is. But, I always listen to what my mother says about rollercoasters and it always seems to help me when I'm watching a movie."

"Oh really? Whats that?" Ponyboy asked her.

"Well, she says that I'm more likely to die in a car crash then on a rollarcoaster."

Ponyboy froze stiff. I me and Johnny started rubbing his shoulders telling him not to worry in soothing voices.

"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"

"His parents died in a car crash!" I was about to say something really foul but Ponyboy this time stopped me.

"Its okay Elektrica. She didn't know." So, Pony called me Electrica. I should shut up now.

The gang called me Ele, when they are being normal or I should say I am, for just everyday life. They call me Elektric when I'm doing something suspicious and they know it. They call me Elektra when they are concerned about me. But, rarely they call me Elektrica which means I'm kindof being a bitch and over reacting. 'Elektrica' is kindof a mix of calling me, and a mix of the meanings of 'Elektra' and 'Elektric'.

"Sorry, Steph," I said looking down, "Sometimes, well alot of times, I talk before I think."

I really am sorry, too. I know it's not her fault I'm jeolous. Its not her fault we've fallen for the same guy. Its just the way I am and sometimes it gets the best of me and I can't help it. Its like the good Elektra is inside of me, and the bad Elektra is on the outside. I'm trying to keep the good Elektra out, and the bad Elektra in. But, its kindof hard to do it. (A/N: If you notice, what I just put in Italics is from Anne Frank. I love this quote, I think everyone can relate to it in some way.

"I understand," she said. Maybe I should just try to get along with her. If this thing between her and Ponyboy hold out then I guess I'd be seeing alot more of her and its not like she's against me. But, later that evening I realized that what is said is easyer said then done.

During the movie I noticed her hand connected with Ponys and I just couldn't handle it. "I'll be right back." I said walking to the consetion stand but not getting in line. I just need to think. I thought aloud.

"I'm sorry Elektra, I guess I shouldn't have bothered you," I turned around to see none other than Ponyboy Curtis.

"Hey..."

"Elektra, why do you hate her?"

"I-I don't hate her..."

"Sure, you don't."

"I just, I just... I don't know."

"Well, I guess theres a reason, a reason which you just don't want to tell," he said looking into my eyes. I can't keep it in anymore! If I do I know I'm gonna burst any minuet!

"Ponyboy... I like-" I started.

OH! Cliffhanger! Yah, that was sooo diffrent from what I originally wrote, all off the dialoge that is there wasn't there before. And I didn't think of that ending of the chapter until 5 minuets ago!

I have a question about Auburn hair. Is Auburn like a brownish/redish/grayish color? Because I'm not exactly sure what color it is. I think its like a brownish/Grayish kind of color.

So? What did everybody think?

I'm thinking about changing the catagory. It's Romance/Drama right now, but I'm thinking about changing it to Romance/Humor. Like I know its deffinatly Romance but I know that some of the times its Humor and some of the time its Drama, like the first 2 chapters were and I think some of the ones coming up are. So, before I make a decsion I want everyone to tell me what they think it should be!

About the marching band thing, Is it just me who thinks that people don't mention band in thier storys but they mention people being on sports teams! LOL, sorry I'm such a proud band geek!

As alway, luv yah! R&R!
