We arrived at the movies later that night.
I had worn one something casual. Some rolled up jeans with my converse and a shirt Ponyboy had let me borrow one time when I slept over because he had spilled a milkshake on me while we were watching a scary movie.
"Hum", Sodapop says as he looks down at me with a smirk.
"What?" I ask.
"That shirt looks kinda familiar." He says.
"Oh really? I just got it not so long ago." I lie.
"I think my little brother has the same shirt." He says laughing as he walks away.
Yes. Because this is his shirt dummy.
I followed behind him as we walk to our seats. I sit next to Ponyboy as he hands me the popcorn and a drink.
"Tilly, over here!" Steve yells.
I quickly turn to look over at where he was to see his stunning beautiful cousin walking towards us. I felt a pang of jealousy hit me all at once. She went to school with us and almost all of the guys were head over heels for this girl. She was very nice and dressed very decent. She had long wavy brown hair, her skin was olive toned. Wore makeup, not much but just enough to notice that she had some on. She always wore cute dresses.
"Hi everyone!" She greets as she stands next to Steve. "Steve invited me tonight, I hope it's okay!"
"Of course it's okay, ain't it (Y/N)?" Two-bit says.
"Why wouldn't it?" I ask, forcing a smile.
"Then I guess you wouldn't mind Tilly sitting next to Ponyboy during the movie, right?" Steve asks.
That's when everyone got quiet. Ponyboy looked a bit confused. We always sat together no matter where we went.
"Um, no." I say and stand up to go sit by Sodapop.
"This is your chance to say something." Sodapop whispers to me. I ignored his comment and just sat there.

I sat behind Tilly and Ponyboy during the movie. I didn't even get to enjoy the movie. I kept looking at them. basically I just sat there eating my popcorn and looking at them. She cuddled up next to Ponyboy. He didn't put his arm around her like a guy would normally do. I kept getting nudged by Sodapop throughout the time though.
"Ya'll want to get something to eat?" Steve asks.
"Lets go to The Dingo or Dairy Queen." Two-bit says.
Everyone agreed and they turned to look at me.
"I kinda need to head home already." I say. "My parents are going to ask where I am."
"It's alright, I'll call Darry and tell him to call your folks to let them know you'll be coming home late." Sodapop says.
Crap.
Here was my chance to just go home and forget this even happened.
"Okay." I say.
We all went in separate cars. I stayed quiet during the ride to the diner.
"Everything okay, (Y/N)?" Ponyboy asks.
I looked up to see Ponyboy looking at me through the review mirror.
"Everything is fine." I say kind of harshly.
I felt bad but it was just the constant stares and comments from the guys that kept getting me annoyed.
We arrived at the diner and we all sat a a booth. Soda pop, Two-Bit, Steve and I on a booth, Ponyboy and Tilly on another booth.
I didn't want to stay any longer. I excused myself and walked away from them quickly.
"(Y/N)!" I hear Two-bit yell.
I walk outside and take a deep breath. I lean against the wall and just sit on the floor. The door opens and Ponyboy comes out.
"What's wrong?" He asks looking worried.
"Nothing." I smile.
"You can tell me (Y/N)." He says. "You can tell me anything."
I take a deep breath and look at him.
"I'm a jealous dweeb." I say as a tilt my head back and sigh.
He chuckles and nudges me.
"What are you talking about (Y/N)?" He asks.
"Isn't is obvious Pony?" I ask. "I like you."
"Oh, you do?"
I look at him and nod.
"I'm jealous that Tilly got to spend the night with you today." I say. "I didn't want to say anything because I knew Steve and Coca-cola were testing me"
He laughs at my nickname for Sodapop.
"I don't blame you if you like Tilly though." I say as I look down at my legs. "She's beautiful, smart and well mannered. Like come on, all the guys like her. She has perfect hair, glowy skin and cute clothes. Then there's me, who always has the same hairstyle for everything and just wears borrowed shirts. Which by the way this one is yours but I promise i'll give it ba-"
I get cut off by Ponyboy who ends up pressing his lips into mine. I push him back a little and stare into his eyes.
"I like you too (Y/N)." He says.
"what?" I ask. "Why didn't you say anything? What about Tilly?"
"Oh, this was all planned out. Tilly was on it too." He says.
I playfully push him and smile.
"You jerk!" I say laughing. "No but seriously why didn't you say anything before that?"
"Because I wasn't sure if you felt the same way. I've liked you for a really long time but you always had an interest in other guys and I didn't think I had a chance." He says. "I don't care about how Tilly is and how she dresses. I don't care if all the guys are after her. I like you (Y/N).
"I want to kiss you but I feel like the guys are watching us." I say laughing.
Ponyboy looks up at the window and shakes his head.
"Yeah they are." He says. "You want to go back to the movies?"
"And rewatch the movie that I didn't watch with you? Yes."
