I woke up early, it was six in the morning. I couldn't sleep after what happened last night.

Johnny was sleeping. He looked very peaceful. Man why did I have to bring the wine. I slowly and quietly went down the stairs and out the door to go see Pony. I needed to get my mind off of the kiss.

The door creaked as I went inside the Curtis house. I went into Ponyboys room. "Pony wake up" I shook him, "I'm up I'm up" he yawned "Wanna go somewhere?" I nervously asked, "Why so early?"
"So Two-bit doesn't worry about me, we can be back by eight" Pony stretched as he got out of bed. I went back home to change. I had tight jeans, and white shirt, an unbuttoned yellow and white flannel shirt, and of course, my white converse. I put my hair in a pony tail.

To be honest I really don't look like a greaser in this outfit, but I don't really mind.

Pony walked out with a purple sweater on, jeans, and black converse. "Let's go" I said pulling his arm.

"But where?"

"Anywhere"

"How about the park?"

"Sounds good"

While we were walking to the park I saw a the same Socs that jumped us the first time I moved here. I looked at one of them. He had scars on his face. I think it was the one that I smashed a bottle on. They started surrounding us. Crap.

"Hey remember me miss grease?"

"How could I not, your face is as ugly as I remember"

"You better watch your tone, do you know what we do to greasers like you"

"You bore them to death with your threats?"

I tried to walk away, but he grabbed me. "Get off of me!" Pony socked him. His face looked like instant regret. The Socs tackled him, they my started punching him. "Leave him alone he didn't do anything!" I screamed, I started kicking, scratching, trying to get out of his grip. Blood started coming out from Pony. I screamed for help. The soc put his hand on my mouth. I bit him at hard as I could. "You son of a -" he exclaimed. I got on top of him and started punching him as hard as I could until he was knocked out. I jumped on the one soc that was punching Ponyboy and tried to put him in a headlock. He was gasping for air, "Tell your buddy's to go away and I'll stop!" I screamed in his ear. "G-g-guys st-st- stop!" He told them.

They all looked at him and started backing away. "Ok, give him to us, we'll leave you alone" I threw him on the ground. He was coughing.

Pony was knocked out. "What do I do, what do I do, crap, crap, crap" tears starting coming out of my eyes. "Pony I'm so sorry I'm such an idiot!" "(y/n) I'm ok" he faintly said.

I helped him stand up and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"Your gonna be ok, your gonna be ok" I whispered in his ear. I took his to the nearest gas station. Thank God it wasn't the one Soda works at. I got bandages and rubbing alcohol and poured it on Pony. He wounds looked just like mine when I would get beat by Miss Andrews would hit me.

I started tying the bandages around his head. "Not so tight" he groaned "Sorry" I gently stroked his hair. "You ok Pony?"

"Yes thanks"

"I'm so sorry this was all my fault"

"Why did you want to leave so early anyways?"

"You really want the truth"

"Yes please we are friends you can trust me"

"I'll tell you but not here"

"Ok"

Pony took me to a sunflower field we stayed there til six o'clock. We were supposed to be back by eight!
"Ok Pony, the reason why I wanted to leave early is because-" I looked at Pony's eyes. I couldn't tell him the truth, he's to good of a friend. "Because I have feelings for you" I continued. Dammit what have I done. "Really?" He asked surprised. I nodded disappointed. The sun started to set. I felt his hand on top of mine. "I have feelings for you too" he smiled. Maybe I didn't screw things up.

Pony started to lean in. I'm gonna get over Johnnys kiss pretty fast.

I pulled Ponyboy in and kissed him. This is what a first kiss should feel like. I was worried Pony wasn't gonna kiss back, but I felt it.

We let go. He smiled. He pulled me back in for another kiss.

Johnnys kiss had completely left my mind. I have never been happier. His lips were soft and sweet.

I let go, "Pony we were supposed to be back by eight!" "Shoot" we sprinted to our houses. "Thanks for the wonderful day bye!" I quickly said. I ran inside. Of course Two-but had to be on the couch. "Where have you been miss?" He calmly said. "I-I was just walking around the t-town and I got l-lost" I stuttered.

Why do I keep lying!?

I went upstairs to find Johnny writing on a piece of paper "What are you doing Johnny?" I asked.

"Oh I thought you wouldn't want to talk to me after last night"

"It's ok, it was my fault I brought up the wine"

"I shouldn't have kissed you, that ain't no way to treat a lady"

"You were drunk and the reason for that is because I snuck the wine up here so the moral of the story it was my fault" we'd w Dec bed

Johnny got quiet. "Sorry, I just don't want you to feel bad when it's not your fault"

"It's ok I understand" He fake smiled. He got up and left the room. I picked up the piece of paper he was writing on, and began to read.

Dear (y/n),
I'm very sorry for last night, I did kiss you on purpose, I wasn't really drunk. I'm very sorry. I don't know if I'm wrong but for a second you kissed me back. Maybe you would like to go to the movie house to make up for what I did? I understand if you wouldn't...
