I woke up Monday morning with an extra burst of excitement. Instead of dragging through my morning rituals I rushed through everything, eager to get to school.

"Well I'll be, I've never seen you so excited for school!" My dad said from behind his newspaper. I smiled and scarfed down my piece of toast. "Do you want to drive you and your sister to school today?"

"Sure!" I piped up and grabbed the keys before he could change his mind. "Come on Lilly." We went outside and she hopped in the old Ford trucks cab. I started the ignition while Lilly scanned the radio for something good.

"So are you and Johnny dating yet, or what?" I looked over at my sister with wide eyes.

"Um, no. Who told you? Was it mom?" I asked as I arced around the corner.

She laughed at my response. "No, but I have ears... and eyes." Maybe my family was as oblivious as I thought. I sighed and parked the car in the elementary schools lot.

"OK well, no I'm not dating him. Now go to school." I smiled as she got out of the truck and began driving over to Melissa's. I pulled out in front just as she was walking out the front door. I rolled down the window and called "Hey stranger!"

Melissa walked down and got in my truck. "So you drive now?"

"Temporarily, whenever my mom or dad hands me the keys." I pulled into the High School's lot and parked in the best spot I could find.

"Well... cool."

"Yeah, cool." I hopped out of the car and slung my backpack over my shoulder. Melissa fell into step next to me and was silent until we got in the school.

"Do you want to go over to the Dingo or something after school?" She asked when we were sitting in our History class.

"Sure, I have to drop of Lilly before we go, but sounds like fun." I said and fell silent when the teacher called us to attention.

We hopped in the trucks cab and slammed the doors shut. The second I turned the key the truck filled with music. I quickly slapped it off and muttered "I hope that damn Jeremy Beiber's kid never sings, I swear."

Melissa laughed and started singing along to the music that wasn't there. "He's not so bad... I mean how bad could little Justin be?" We laughed as we pulled out of the school lot. We joked along until we pulled in front of the elementary school and Lilly jumped in the back.

"Oh my gosh Jeremy Beiber! Turn it up!" I reluctantly raised the music's volume and smiled when I saw her singing in the rearveiw mirror.

"Tell mom I'm going over to the Dingo with Melissa, OK? Bye." I tossed her my backpack and idled in the driveway until Lilly made it into the house. Then punched it into drive and headed into town.

"So I think me and Pony are really good together, I mean I got to know him and I think he could be the one for me. You know?" Melissa chatted on, looking out the window. I felt a pang of jelousy. Johnny didn't even look at me at school today, and she got to go up and kiss Pony whenever she felt like it.

"Yeah, thats great Melli." I was happy for her, I was just a little sad for me...

"I hope you don't mind, Daze, but I invited some people to hang with us. You dig?" Melissa said when we walked in the restaurant. She led me over to the corner table and I was face to face with, who else? Johnny Cade.

Melissa slipped in next to Ponyboy and I slid in next to Johnny. A waitress came up and after Pony and Melli ordered Johnny and I spoke up.

"A burger with tomato and lettuce with a side of fries, oh and make it medium rare." We said in unison. Melissa almost died laughing. I almost died of shock.

Well at least we know we're alike in some way.
