Chapter 4
The next day, I was walking Oreo, Darry had not yet found out about her yet although, she did kinda bark throughout the night, and Darry kept coming in and she was under the bed so she made Darry think he's going crazy. I think she thought it was some kind of joke, and she kept doing it for a while, then she fell asleep. Candy was with me. I was telling her how Johnny had given me his jean jacket and about the sacs and greasers.
"So they have like those two?" she asked.
"Yep." Oreo was barking at a squirrel.
"So, does that mean that you're a greaser cause you're staying with your cousins?"
"I don't know, but I do know one thing, I am not putting any grease in my hair…although Johnny does pull it off quite nicely." I said. Think about Johnny made me smile.
"So does Soda." She said.
"Hey, Two-Bit seemed to like you yesterday." I said thinking about Two-Bit's red nose and laughing to myself.
"Yeah, he's okay I guess." She said. She totally loves him!
"You totally love him." I said.
"Maybe." She said.
"Yeah, your name is Liar." I said. Just then, we saw this house that looked pretty beat up and we could hear two people yelling and a boy come out…oh my gosh, that's Johnny! Oreo wanted to go over to him, so I let her and she jumped into his arms! AWWW! (A/N: Just imagine Johnny holding a puppy that just ran into him arms. Are you imagining it? IMAGINE IT…NOW…Please. Isn't that so cute?)
"Is that where Johnny lives?" Candy asked.
"I don't know. Johnny!" Johnny looked up from playing with Oreo and smiled. He started walking toward us with Oreo skipping happily along by his heels.
"Hey." He said to me and Candy quietly.
"Hey." Candy replied.
"Hey." I said in a really quite voice. Wow, interesting conversation so far huh?
"Is that were you live?" Candy asked.
"Yeah." He said looking down at his shoes.
"Do your parents always yell like that?" I asked.
"Yeah." I looked around because I couldn't find Oreo, but I found her chasing a squirrel by the tree nearby, and at one point, the squirrel started chasing Oreo. My eyes kept meeting Johnny's and Candy noticed this, then said,
"Hey, I'm just gonna go find Two-Piece."
"Two-Bit." I corrected her for like the bugilliounth time.
"Yeah, sure, whatever." She said and walked off. That left me and Johnny alone. Just then what I think was a beer bottle smashed into a nearby tree, which made Oreo run behind me and the squirrel back up the tree.
"Hey, let's get outta here before you- I mean, we get hurt." He said. Dang. He is so fine! If I hadn't known his name, you know what my nick name for him would have been? Cute Guy.
"So, did Darry find out about Oreo?" Johnny asked.
"No." all I could get out cause, you know, yeah. I wasn't looking at Johnny cause he was right in front of me and I took a step to start walking again, and I tripped. Johnny caught me and I just stood there dumbfounded…in his arms. I hadn't noticed this, but I had my arms on his shoulders…our head were getting closer together…then…BARK! BARK! Oreo was barking at another squirrel. Her barking took Johnny and me out of our dazes and we instantly separated.
"Ugh, thanks for catching me." I said really, really red.
"No problem." He said super quiet. "Should we go to Pony's?"
"Ye-yeah." I said. As we started walking, it hit me…we almost kissed! It all happened so fast. I couldn't help but smile to myself. Sometimes being clumsy can pay off.
