Chapter 5

The way back to the Curtis' house was about the longest and most awkward walk EVER! That little incident me think. Did Johnny really like me? Two-Bit did say something before about it and he did give me his jean jacket to wear when I was cold.

Oreo wasn't letting anything stop her from having a good time. She was like literally hopping all over the place. I just kept my eyes on her to avoid looking at Johnny. I didn't know what Johnny was doing because I didn't look at him. I really didn't know the way to the Curtis' yet, but I was pretty sure that we weren't anywhere near it yet. Just then, Johnny broke the silence.

"Hey, you know, back there and earlier…"he trailed off. Oh, snapsky, I had to look at him now.

"What?" I asked.

"Iwuzjuwonifyolikegoou." He mumbled.

"What?"

"I was wondering if maybe, you would like to-" but he was cut off because Oreo was barking because we were at the Curtis' front door. I didn't even realize how we got there. I turned to Johnny.

"So, what were you gonna say?"

"I was-"

"Hey Johnnycake Evy!" called Two-Bit. I really want to hit him…is that my new nickname now, Evy?

"Hey." Johnny and I both said at the same time.

"Did Candy come looking for me?" he asked.

"Why?" I asked.

"Cause, I wanted to ask her something." He replied.

"Ask her what?" Johnny asked.

"Ask her out duh!" he said.

"I wish it was that easy for me." I kinda heard Johnny mumbled. What did he mean by that? I don't know, what do I think? I don't know? Sorry, I was having a moment. See, it's not bad to talk to yourself or have an argument with yourself…unless you lose that argument.

"EVELIN! EVELIN!" Two-Bit was waving a hand in front of my face.

"What?" I asked coming out of my daze.

"I said have you seen Candy?" he asked.

"Uh, yeah, she went that way." I said pointing out the door.

"Wow, that's specific." He said. "Well, I gotta go get some Candy! Ha ha get? No? Okay, by!"
