She pulled me up off the couch and she followed me into my bedroom. "I'm, er, sorry, we don't have huge blankets."I fumbled around in the closet until I found the biggest blanket i could. "This is fine."she took the blanket without hesitation and folded it on the ground."You know, your little brother is kinda cute."she chuckled, still fixing her bed. "Yeah, he sure is." She looked up at me."He looks like you you know." "Everybody says that, but Ponyboy thinks I'm more of a looker, but he don't fool me."she stood up and flipped her hair."Maybe he's ,"she said, changing the subject when I didn't reply right away. I didn't know what to say. I could tell she was flirting with me. But did I honestly want her too?"Don't worry if I start shaking in the middle of the night, I'm having a nightmare, i've had the same one all week, about my dad." I didn't ask her anything, just nodded."You want me to stay in here with you while you fall asleep, or are you okay?" She hesitated."Stay, if you don't care. New places, kind of..I don't know."she lied down in her bed she had made poofy."So sodapop, tell me a little more about your brothers. POnyboy especially. He seems quiet." I laughed in spite of myself. If Ponyboy was anything, It wasn't quiet."He isn't. And Ponyboy is sensitive. He'd never make it working at a gas statiopn like I do, He just don't dig that stuff. He digs sunsets, colors in the 'd never find a nice enough kid like that." She sghed,"Mmmmhmm."and then she diped into her pillow and fell asleep. I stood there for a second, not really knowing if I should leave her or not. She had been different than most other girls. Most of them were snobs. Not her. And she actually listened to me when I talked, unlike..I couldn't think of her name. I decided to crawl into my bed. ~~~~~~ By the time I woke up, I laughed realizing I pulled Shalyn into bed with me and Ponyboy, giving in to the trembling in the night.
