Chapter 11:
The next day, we wok at 5:30 to, get ready for school. By 7:00 we were in our homeroom. Something about the way thing had gone this morning told me we were going to have a good day. When we woke, everyone in the house got along and didn't fight; we all got done what had to be done, and went to work and school. Not to mention this radiant look in Johnny's eyes. You could tell he was actually happy. That look, I had never seen on him before. A rare smile, maybe once in a while, but never like this. Also, school was so much better for him that day. Usually he'd sit in the back of the room and not say a word, which made people think he was dumb, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Today, though, he was volunteering to do things for the teachers, and he answered a bunch of questions in every class. He was a brand new Johnny. A, confidant, higher self-esteemed, determined Johnny. The day only got better for him.
At lunch, once again, Steve, Two-Bit, Johnny, and I were sitting at our table, chatting and joking around. Well, that what's her name? Chelsea, that's it. Anyway, Chelsea came over. Apparently, he and she had spoken to one another during math. Why I say this is because she came darting over, and said " Hey, Johnny, you mind if I sit with you and your buddies?"
" No, not all take a seat." He said eagerly. I wasn't too interested in girls at that point in time, so I didn't understand, but now looking back, he had a crush on her from the beginning. " So, how have you been? I know we just finished speaking last hour, but I just want to talk… to you."
" I'm doing great!" He exclaimed. " What about you, Chelsea?"
" Just fantastic! I mean this is amazing! I am so happy to have spoken to you today in math, and I can tell that we are going to be close friends. You are such a nice guy."
" Aw, thanks. You're a real nice girl. I do hope to get to know you better…" His voice trailed off, then the bell rang, time to go to next hour. When we went to our locker he quietly whispered " Saved by the bell" To me.
" Yeah, who was that girl anyway?"
" Her names Chelsea Carrison. She's 15 and, as you can obviously tell, she's absolutely gorgeous! But the best part is her personality, Oh Pony, Chelsea she's amazing. She is so kind and sweet, funny, impartial, sympathetic. Oh, she's everything a woman should be!" He exclaimed, losing himself speaking of his newfound buddy.
" Well, remember, you just met her Johnny. You need to get to know her better."
" Pony, don't worry. I'll get to know her before I ask her out, but still can you believe her. Beautiful." He ran off to his next class, leaving me by our locker. What did Johnny mean ' ask her out?' He was sweet innocent Johnny, never had he even remotely become interested in girls, much less asking them out. I was in a panic, although happy for him, I guess I was jealous of Chelsea. I know it sounds stupid, but I was. I mean, I was used to having Johnny to myself. Now I may have to share with some girl. No. Then the thought hit me. ' If Johnny is going to live with us, he's going to have to abide by Darry's rules. That means little time with girls. That, I'm sad to say now elated me. I don't have to share Johnny.
A/N Ok I know this chapter was off topic. But trust me, it'll make sense later. Also Internet connection got cut off at my house so I had to wait a long time to write this chapter. I had to use a friend's computer., ,
