"Nice to meet you" Darry shook my hand and I gave him a quick smile.

I turned around to look at Dally lighting up a cigarette and leaning back onto the couch. "Wanna explain Dal?" I crossed my arms and gave him a sarcastic look.

He breathed in his smoke and smirked. "Yeah well you coulda' warned me so I could have planned it all out better" The boys all uncomfortably shuffled and I looked at Dally to give them an explanation.

"Uh, her and Pone were gonna study today" 

Two let out a laugh and took a swig of his beer, the other boys giggled to themselves.

"Hey Ponyboy get in here!"

"I told 'ya, i'm cleaning Soda!" Ponyboy shouted.

Darry then called for him, Pony walked into the living room, arms crossed. He looked like he was going to argue with his brothers but instead, his eyes settled on me.

I awkwardly rubbed my shoulder, and looked over to Dally. He was smiling, he knew how bad this was! What an asshole.

"Hey Pony.."

He went red in the face and stumbled back a little, confusion soon swept onto his face.

He walked over and gave me a hug.

I was so taken back I felt as though I would hurl. I slightly rested my chin on his shoulder, only for a moment though, I didn't want it to be weird.

He smelled so delightful, obviously the surrounding scents were hard to differentiate from, but he smelled warm, sweet, homely.

He let go and smiled a little "What are you doing here so early?"

I bit my lip and looked back at Dally, he rolled his eyes and squashed his cigarette into the ashtray.

"That's my sister, kid" Dally sighed and stretched. I looked back at Pony, I was terrified to see the look on his face. Was he just as scared as me? Maybe he didn't want me to look at him.

I know I wouldn't.

I saw him swallow hard and then sigh.

He started to laugh, and then so did everyone else. Ponyboy covered his mouth trying to hide his fit of giggles but it just made him laugh more.

"Guess that whole thing about us being too tough for her didn't work out huh Dal" Two hollered taking another drink of his beer.

Dally ran over to the couch and pinned him on the floor. Soda and Steve started to hype them up and I couldn't help but laugh as well.

This is what I needed. I didn't want to be a fake Soc, this is where I belonged. In a messy home with roughhousing boys, something of those sorts.

Pony started to clap and cheer them on, I couldn't help but look at him. His face was so perfect, in every way that a face shouldn't be.

I just wanted to get lost in those green eyes, I wanted to look into them and see thousands of stories that couldn't be told with words.

Darry came up behind me and gave me a pat on the shoulder "Welcome to the family kiddo" I gave him a smile and watched him stand behind Soda and Steve.

I looked over to Pony and lightly brushed his hand with mine, I could basically feel his body tremble.

"Guess you're pretty disappointed i'm not a Soc huh" I shrugged.

He looked at me and smiled "I think you're cooler this way. I mean your Dallas Winston's sister he's one of the tuffest guys I know"

I couldn't help but smile, I soon realized that happens a lot when i'm around Pony.
