"Thanks again for the warm coat" he said to me for like the 100th time today.
"Hey, it's no biggie" I reassured him.
"Hey, your sure you're okay?" he looked over at me.
"Yes Pone, I'm fine- really I am; and besides it's not really that cold"
"You're pretty tough"
"I am?"
"Yes, for a girl" he teased
"Awww, Pone" I blushed slightly, playfully punching him in the arm for good measure.
"Hey, you've got quite an arm"
"Thank you"
"You're welcome, what was that for anyway?"
"Payback" I said triumphantly.
"Good deal"
"Thanks" I smiled.
"No prob." he said with a wink. "Hey, wanna race"
"Sure, where to?"
"To the hole in the fence, we're going to try this again"
"Oh, alright" I replied without hesitation.
We raced along having a grand'O time, this time when we reached the opening I didn't try to run off.
"Ladies first" Ponyboy stated,
"Oh, what a gentlemen" I stated, kneeling down so I could crawl under the fence. As I popped my head out on the other side I mouth. "Easy"
He smiled, then ducked under, "See I new you could do it" he replied.
"Yeah, you were right" I admitted.
"Yeah well, come on... let's find out where the gang- and our seats" he added chuckling.
"Okay" I smiled, we walk hand in hand to the third row where we saw the whole gang want sitting.
"Hey Pony" Soda replied.
"Hey Sodapop" Pony replied, sitting in between him and Johnny.
I scanned for some place to sit.
"What, you don't want to sit next to your boyfriend?" Dallas mocked,
"You know Dal, I can make up my own mind; thank you very much". I triumphantly spat at him.
"Whoa okay, don't be such a hot-head" I stuck my tongue out at him.
As I continued to try to find a good, vacant seat. Dal was sitting next to Johnny, Steve was Sitting next to Soda, Darry and Two-bit were sitting together, and Dal- I rolled my eyes, on the other side of Dal sat a girl (That's just like him to be picking up chicks), it was disgusting! Nevertheless I decided to walk over and introduce myself.
"Ummm... hi" I said as I turned my head to look at her once I found a seat in the front row, one row up from where the gang sat.
"Hi..." she looked at me cautiously. "What's your name?"
"Ummm, S- S- Sydney" she looked kind of intimidating. "Y- yours?"
"Emily" she said flatly. "Here, wanna smoke?" she asked, holding out an unlit cigarette.
I took it, holding it in between my fingers curiously. "Ummm..." I stated, looking down at it. "Nah, I'm good" I say, looking up- handing the cigarette back.
"No really, keep it, I have extras"
"No, I- I- I just- you can take it back- really. I- I don't even smoke"
"You don't smoke!?" she exclaimed outraged. Dally, Pony and the whole gang looked at me.
"Shh..." they all said, putting one finger to their lips.
I blushed embarrassed, "talk to you after the movie" I whispered hurriedly, before whirling back around.
"Hmh" I heard her huff, I think she was indeed rolling her eye as I heard her mutter "goody-two-shoes"
