"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"
