I found Love, in Another Time? (Outsiders FF)

Storm Warning

I looked into Pony's eyes. Should I forgive him. I hurt me when he didn't defend me against those girls, but... I guess it'll hurt me even more if I'm not with him. Even if we're just friends, at least I get to be around him and we hang out and stuff.

"There is one way I can forgive you" I replied. He looked at me, eager to hear what it is. I smiled. "Give me a hug." He smiled that irresistible smile of his, and pulled me into his embrace. My ear was against his chest, and I could hear his heart beat. Thump. Thump. Thump. It soothed me, giving me reassurance. As if telling me everything's going to be okay. Then, he pulled away and kissed me softly on the forehead

"Now, back to the main thing, you like me?" I felt my cheeks start burning up and butterflies were let loose in my stomach.

"It won't get in the middle of our friendship, right?" He shook his head.

"Why don't we head to the park?" I thought for a moment.

"Why not your school? I've never seen it before" I suggested. He nodded in agreement, before extending his hand out to me. I gladly took it, and like that, we began walking. I could feel the heat between our hands. How can this boy drive me crazy all the time? He already knows how I feel, but he didn't ask me out or anything. Maybe he doesn't feel the same way about me. I stared at the ground as we walked. My chest was hurting, but as long as I'm with him, I'm happy.

Suddenly, I heard a loud clap of thunder. Holly Shit. I feel so sorry for aunt, since she's terrified of thunderstorms. Me, on the other hand, wasn't as big of a chicken as her. I'm only scared of tornados. No, erase that, I'm terrified of them. I would either have a freak attack, or just hide in a corner and cover my ears, something like that. Hmm, actually, I feel bad for Dallas, he's the one who has to deal with my aunt. That idea made me smile.

"What're you thinking bout, Mary?"

"My aunt" I replied. He smiled

"You know, she's afraid of thunderstorms" he said. I nodded.

"My mom told me a lot about her" I replied. Suddenly, I bumped shoulders with someone. "Oh, sorry" I said, turning to see who it was. To my surprise, it was Sylvia. She glared at me, then saw Pony, and smirked.

'Nice to see you again, Hunny. Why're you hanging out with that fat ass?" I got embarrassed. See, I knew I was fat. I felt like crying.

"Hey, back off Sylvia. Don't come and try to ruin our relationship because Dally chose someone descent over trash like you. And you leave Mary alone, ya hear" Pony shot back. I turned to Pony, surprised he actually did something this time. And he said we were in a relationship! I felt my heart doing flips.

"Since when did you become Mr. Big shot?"

"Since you came along, let's face it, your nothing but a whore" he replied. Now I was shocked. Pony cussed? I've never heard him cuss before. Especially to defend me. I knew Sylvia wanted to say something back, but instead, she stormed off. I smiled and blushed a bit.

"Thanks Pony" I said.

"No problem, Mary" he replied. He squeezed my hand, as we continued walking. I knew I made a good decision on forgiving Pony.

"Now, our relationship? What exactly is our relationship?" He shrugged.

"Whatever you want it to be" he replied with a smirk. I laughed.

"Don't tease me, boy" I joked.

"Who said I was teasing you?" We both laughed. "Look, here we are." In front of us, stood a tall building. It sure does look better than my school, yet again, it is a high school, in another state. Out of nowhere, there was a strong gust of wind, nearly knocking me down. Whoa, this is one bad storm. The clouds were dark as hell. "Why don't we go inside?" Pony asked, over the loud and strong winds.
