Chapter Six: Watch out, Ponyboy Curtis!

It was 6:20 and I just woke up. Today I am going to hangout with Pony at the Nightly Double tonight.

I sat up, rubbed my eyes and I stretched. I shifted my legs off the bed and got out. I walked out of my room and into the bathroom. I did my morning routine. You know. Brush your teeth, take a shower and you know the rest. Once I got out of the shower, I dried myself off with the clean and newly bought light blue towel. I wrapped it around my body and then I grabbed another towel to wrap my hair in it.

I went out of the bathroom and into my room. I dried myself completely and put on my clothes. I put on a wool suit trimmed with fur. It was going to be chillly out, since it was winter.

As I was finished getting dressed, I got out of my room and I took a quick glimpse of the hallway. Everyones door was open except for my brother and sisters. They are in elementary school so they don't need to go to school until nine. I went downstairs and I saw gradma into the kitchen making something. I asked, "Hey! Grandma!" I gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Oh! You scared me!" Grandma jumped a little but let out a slight giggle.

"I made a full breakfast. Your daddy is off from work today. So I didnt make that much of a big breakfast and you know your mom, she brings microwaveable dishes to work."

I muttered an oh to what she said by "Your daddy is off from work."

Grandma Bootysquat added, "Okay. Honey. Heres your breakfast."

We sat at the dining room table. We talked a lot then soon I was done eating my breakfast. Then, I walked upstairs, getting ready to go to school.

Ponys POV:

7:00 A.M.

"COME ON PONY! LETS GO! YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" Darry yelled.

"Okay, okay!" I snapped. I didnt mean it. But then I heard him say something to me.

"Look, I dont know whats going on but eversince that girl came by you have been late everytime! Now lets go!" He shoved Pony to the door and he hoped into the truck.

"You see, now you only have five minutes until you have to go! Now this makes me late too!" He yelled while putting his visor facing me. I just ignored him. I didnt talk back. You dont wanna know what happens to him when you do. So I just shut up and when he dropped me off, all I said was a quick bye.

As I walked up the to the curb, I saw Sherri. I ran up to her and said in the best voice I could give out, "Hey Sherri! How's it going? Hey look I uhhh-"

He was cut off by Sherri saying, "Pony, I told you! We are not supposed to be talking!"

"Oh yeah! Sorry about that!" I said, looking dumbfounded of myself. I totally forgot about that. I remembered her saying that. That night when we first met at the Nightly Double. I could hear her, in my mind, saying, "If I see you in the hall at school or someplace and don't say hi, well it's not personal or anything... We couldn't let our parents see us with you all." I felt embarrassed that I completely forgot about what she said to me. Sherri had already went into the school and I then ran into the school.

Several hours passed and it was lunch time. I sat with some of my friends who are just friends, not really special like Two-Bit and the others. Their names were Daniel, Paul, Gary, Dennis and Kenneth.

Daniel Hays was a 13 year old. He was a grade below him. You could say that he kind of resembled Soda in a way. Daniel had the so called, "movie-star look" on him. He was the ladies man. Every girl had a crush on him. Daniel had nice shiny black hair that resembles the dawn. Then there is Paul. Paul Minton. A short chubby funny little guy thats also a grade below us. He has very dark hair. He is the class clown and Two-Bit and him are friends. Paul sometimes gets jealous because he wants to be the funniest one in class but when ol' Two-Bit is around, everyone laughs at his jokes.

A tall and skinny figure came up to us and it was Gary Lewis. He is usually the dumbstruck one. He gets made fun of a lot during school. He is in the same grade as Pony. But he's the smart one. I guess you would call him the nerd. The weat gold hair, the freckles on his face and the thick boxy glasses on him makes him look like the nerd of the school. If your lucky, Gary will give you the answers to the math problems. But not all the time. Oh and did I mention, he's an honor roll student.

Along came Dennis and Kenneth Alford. Ponyboy likes them a little more than the others but he still respects them. Dennis, the chubby kid thats always being made fun of because of his weight and Kenneth isnt that skinny either. They are both good guys though and they are both brothers.

For several minutes we have been talking. Gary was usually talking to them about his science experiment and going on about how much he hopes he gets an A on it. Then Kenneth changed the subject by asking, "Soooo... About the new girl. Any luck?"

Pony was shocked to hear him ask about her and he said, "Nancy? Oh yeah. Today me and her are going to the Nightly Double but..."

Kenneth and the others asked a numerous questions and then I looked over at Sherri who was sitting with her soc friends and her best friend Marcia.

I then looked back and started tearing the cover of my straw that was now in my milk carten and said, "Well, I am going to ask her to go with me and Nancy to the movies." I looked back at my friends and all of them had their mouths open.

Then again there was complaining going on and the only three sentences I could make out was a "Why are you bringing them both out?", "No! Don't do that! They will get mad!" or "Go Pony! Thats the way how you do it!"

I then said, "Look/... I don't want to be alone with either of them. And besides, I only like Nancy as a friend. I like Sherri more and you guys know that."

Daniel grinned and corrected him, "You're lying. You were all over Nancy just yesterday and telling us how cute she is and all. So answer that!"

I rolled my eyes and said, "Oh alright. I admit. Okay? I like them both... But you see I..."

"What?" They asked moving in a little closer. I really thought that they looked stupid doing that. I can't believe they would want to hear about this but I just continued saying, "I-I kissed Sherri yesterday!"

They all gasped but then Paul added a, "No way! Are you serious?"

I squeezed my eyes shut and almost yelled out, "And now I dont know what to do! I don't want Sherri to see us alone together!"

They all looked down and then Dennis who hardly ever speaks said, "Well, I guess you should do it that way then..."

Thirty minutes has passed and now we were in the 3rd period. We have block scheduling at our school. As I walked to put some of my stuff in my locker, I saw Sherri Valance. Alone. No one was there except for the janitor that passed by giving us a wave.

I waved back to the janitor but then focused on Sherri. "Hey Sher!" I stuck my hand up while walking to her with a big smile on my face.

She looked around to see if anyone was there and she said, "Hey Pony!" She said with a smile. "What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Just had to put some books away. What are you doing here?" He smiled and chuckled a little.

Sherri smiled at his little laugh and said, "Same here. So, what do you need me for?"

Pony leaned against the locker with his right side and said, "Cherry, I am really sorry about yesterday... I didnt know that would happen..."

Cherry had a big huge smile on her face and started laughing remembering the look on his face.

I looked at her and said, "Hey, whats so funny?"

"Nothing. After you kissed me, you blushed! It was so cute. I bet that was your first kiss."

I blinked and smiled but blushed at the same time and said while rubbing his head, "Yeah.. That was." I laughed a little." I then added, "Uh... I wanted to ask you something."

Sherri said, "Sure. Anything."

"W-w-would you like to go to the Nightly Double with me?" I asked studdering. I felt stupid for asking such a question and I felt a ping of regret. I should have asked her yesterday. And there is no way she would want to go out with me in public.

I was waiting for the answer that I knew what was going to escape from Sherri's lips. But I heard something else. I couldn't believe it.

"Excuse me?" I asked disbelieving her answer.

"You heard me, I said yes." She laughed a little.

I was in shock. My eyes went wide but then I said while rubbing my head, "Well uh, you know, Nancy is coming with me too."

I could tell that she looked a little disappointed and said, "Okay. Thats fine. Well I gotta go. I will see ya later." She started walking down the hall but then looked back and smiled.

I said, "Bye." I walked back to the classroom.

Nancy's POV:

2:25 P.M.

Finally! School is over for the day! As the bell rang, I rushed off to my locker and quickly got my things out.

Minutes later, I looked around for Pony. He would be here by now! Why isn't he here? Thats a surprise. Maybe he wanted to hang out with his friends or even worse, Cherry.

I waited a little more, being patient as the minutes gone by. I tapped my foot, still trying to wait a little longer, but my body disobeyed. I started walking towards the B hallway.

I looked in the hallway, everyone was still there, still trying to get their lockers open or the ones that were going to their clubs. But no sign of Pony.

Minutes passed, from hallway to hallway, room to room, still no sign. He must have left me. I thought. But I shrugged it off, not letting this ruin my day. Besides, I was going to see him anyways. So I walked by myself all the way home in the freezing cold weather.

I got into the house and the first thing I did was to get ready for my supposedly, "big date" with Pony.

I went upstairs and took another shower. As I got in, I felt hot drops fall onto my cold dark skin. It felt so nice being warm. A couple seconds later, I got out the body wash and put it onto a cloth and rubbed it over me. I smelled my arms and it was cherry blossom scent. It was my favorite scent. I then went for the shampoo and conditioner. It was those all in one bottles. So I used that and I rubbed it in gently into my dark hair. For a couple seconds I let it get into my hair a little but then I washed it all out. Some of it got into my eyes while the bubbly looking foam went down my face. I turned infront of the shower head where all the water came out and lifted my head up so it could wash it off. I turned the handle down and it completely stopped. I started to dry off and I got dressed. I got out an printed fluid skirt and military brass buttoned jacket mingled with skinny scarves and 8 piece caps. It was the real thing, so I wanted to look great.

When I got dressed, I did my homework real fast. Thank god I didnt have a lot. All I had was English homework and a little bit of math. it wasn't that much of a biggie. So when I was done with that, I went to the bathroom and started to brush my teeth.

I stepped out into the hallway, I brushed my hair and went to my room and sprayed a little perfume. It was time to go in five minutes. So I ran downstairs and asked my dad for a drive.

"Sure honey! Where is it?" Dad asked.

"It's the Nightly Double. You know where that is right?"

"Oh yeah!" He said as he got up from the couch.

When we were both getting out of the house. I started getting this nervous feeling. But it wasnt as bad. "The time has come. Watch out, Ponyboy Curtis!"
