After we ate, I had to leave. Darry wanted me home by four. I hope I don't run into Soda, though I don't think I can actually talk to him after what just happened. I know Yvette isn't mine or anything, but I think I have feelings for her. Her really long bouncy black hair, beautiful golden sunset green eyes, and a light tan with perfect teeth. I wonder what the guy would think. I better keep my feelings to myself. I grabbed my hair and pulled my hair trying to get her outta my mind.

"Oh come on!" I yelled.

I slowly walked towards my house feeling miserable. I think I'm falling over Yvette a little bit too much. Because I think I see her standing outside on the swing with Darry.

"D-D-Darry, I think I'm sick. I keep seeing Yvette everywhere. She's like a fly that keeps following the smell of food." I accidentally said.

"Um…Ponyboy…" Darry tried to say.

"No seriously, I think she's some type of virus that infects the mind." I lit a cigarette and started smoking.

"I truly hope that's a way of complementing people around here."

I dropped the cigarette out of my mouth. That was really Yvette? I slapped my face, hard. I felt embarrassed. My ears turned red on spot. Yvette looked a little mad, but she tried covering it up with a small smile.

"I'm sorry, I just…"

"It's okay I was just leaving."

She got up and ran off. I caught a whiff of her hair. It smelled amazing.

"Really… I'm…" she was already gone.

I hit the wall

"Shit…" I sighed.

"I think you upset her," Darry smiled.

I rolled my eyes at the thought. I really like Yvette and to upset her makes me feel like crap. I picked up the weed off the floor and put it in my mouth.

"Do you like her Pony?"

I shook my head blowing out smoke. Darry let it go.

"She's cute, I'll give her that."

"What do you like her like Soda does?"

"Ponyboy, do you know that would be…um…a crime? She's way too young. Plus I think Soda might knock her off her feet."

"Why does everybody always think she will fall for Soda?"

I ran inside slamming the door behind me. I ran to my room and jumped on the bed.

"Ow!"

I landed on Soda. He was sleeping before I woke him up. We kinda stared at each other. My eyes stung.

"So where are you taking Yvette?" I asked.

"Okay that's random, but I don't know maybe to a drive in or something," He answered.

She should be taken to something better then that she was too special for a drive through.

"How about you take her to that dance thing that's happening at the church?"

"Yeah that sounds cool, and Ponyboy?"

"Yes?"

"Please get off of me.

"Oh, sorry"

I slid off of Soda. I felt happy for Soda, but I also felt like I wanted to take Yvette out tomorrow.

"So, do you like Yvette?" I asked.

"Yeah, I freeze up every time I'm around her. Do you think she could fall for me?"

I wanted to tell him heck no! She's mine! I want her!

"Maybe I don't know, I don't know how girls think."

"I wonder what her… lips feel like against someone else's." Soda smiled like he was thinking it would be his lips against hers.

"I don't need to know that." I laughed wondering that too.

"Did you know that the gang was coming over later tonight?"

"Really? Is Two-bit coming?"

If Two-bit came I know Yvette was coming because she said she was hanging out with him tonight.

"Don't know, maybe."

Me and Soda sat there on the bed just thinking. I met we were both thinking about the same thing. Or the same person.

After a few hour people started coming. Everybody was here accept Two-bit and Yvette. Even Dally showed up. I hoped I saw Yvette. I wanted to apologize to her for calling her a virus. Then Two-bit walked in with a big smile on his face. He seemed partly sober. I think that the resemblance of Two-bit and Yvette. There smiles. But I think it looked better on Yvette. I quickly ran up to Yvette. She looked down when she saw me.

"Yvette! I'm really sorry!" I apologized.

"It's okay Ponyboy; really I'm over being called a virus and a…fly," Yvette said, "Is Soda here? I mean of coarse he's here he lives here what I meant to say was, where is he?"

I pointed at the couch miserably. Of coarse she like Soda, he looks like a movie star. She hesitated a bit. She was playing with her fingers. Then she walked over there smiling like Two-bit. I could here the whole conversation.

"Sodapop!" she practically yelled.

"Hi!" He practically yelled back.

"I'm so happy to see you again," she was blushing.

"Yeah same here. Um…we are going out tomorrow right? Because if we do we can go to this dance thing that Ponyboy suggested. But if you don't want to we can she a movie or we could just go to the lot and hang out or we could…"

She stopped him and slid her hand against his cheek.

"Dancing sounds nice." She smiled.

Then Soda said something that could have embarrassed anyone.

"What does…?"

"What does what?"

"Your lips feel like against somebody's?"

"Huh?"

Soda blushed fiercely, and looked down.

"Soda…"

"Yeah?"

Soda was still looking at his hands. No one else was paying attention to Soda and Yvette. So no one saw what they did. Yvette held Soda's chin between her fingers. Soda inched towards Yvette and Yvette pressed her lips against Soda's. Soda slid his hand under her jaw. They sat there for what seemed like an hour sharing a kiss.

"That's what it feels like," she bit her bottom lip.

Soda smiled and kissed her again, but for a shorter time. I don't think I ever herd my heart shadder.
