I wish I could ask Sodapop for help. I can't because he doesn't even know about me and Steve. From the constant gay jokes he and the gang makes I would be lucky if Darry didn't disown me. I felt helpless. I'll be fine if I just act happy. Maybe today will be the day I get the courage to break up with Steve.
" Hey Ponyboy!" I heard Steve say. I put down the book I wasn't really reading and smiled at him. Just because I wanted to break up with him doesn't mean I am not still in love with him. Maybe I am just crazy for my feelings but the time we had alone was actually nice... But it didn't happen often.
" I thought you had work today Steve!" Nobody else was in the house so I gave him a quick kiss.
" I called in "sick" so I could spend time with you!" I couldn't help but blush when Steve said that. I wasn't expecting him to do that for me.
" Why?"
" Well I was being a jerk last night and I know you never find movies boring. Especially a Paul Newman one."
" I guess you know me too well..." I tried to keep from smiling. Steve actually wanted to change! At least I think...
" So what do you want to do?" This was a hard question. If we go somewhere public Steve might leave.
" I really don't know..." I felt really bad now. Steve was risking his job for me and I didn't even know what we could.
" Well I know of this private place we can go after I buy us lunch!"
" I can pay for myself Steve. I have money so you don't need to waste yours." I didn't like when Steve tried to buy things for me. I wasn't like one of his past girlfriends that he had to buy things for or else they would whine and say he wasn't being a gentleman. Maybe I was being too paranoid of being like his past loves...
