Ponyboy:
-you said it first

"what're you up to Ponyboy Curtis?" He gripped my hands tighter,"nothin, just keep your eyes closed!" I giggle as he continues to lead the way. We had only been walking for a couple minutes, and I thought we were headed to the lot, when he took a weird turn and I wasn't sure anymore. "pony, where are we go-" he interrupts me, "open your eyes" I open my eyes to the amazing landscape of the sun setting. I was speechless. The orange, yellow, and red danced along the skyline. "wow" was all I managed to get out. "i love watching the sunset, it's beautiful" he looked at me, "just like you" I felt my face get hot and turned back to the sky. "the only other person that enjoys this is Johnny" I was lost in my thoughts. "well I love it" was all I said. "and I love you" I turned to Ponyboy and he did the same. I was afraid that maybe he didn't feel the same way, until he leaned in and I felt his soft lips on mine. He placed his hands on my cheeks as I tangled mine in his hair. We both soon pulled back and he blushed. "I love you too" was all he said before we turned back to the sky and enjoyed it together.

Sodapop:
-he said it first

"hey, Sodapop, whatcha workin on?" One of the girls asked him. "oh, just this old piece of work here, she's pretty though ain't she?"
"the only pretty thing I see here is you" they all giggled. I wanted to vomit. This same broad and her friends would show up almost everyday just to flirt with Soda, my boyfriend. Soon he fixed up the car and headed over to the register to grab a coke from the fridge, in which the girls followed. "ooh, Soda, can you get me one?" I glared at her, "that'll be 75 cents" she looked to me then him, "I wasn't talking to you, bitch" I fake gasp and pretend to look offended. "oh no, the whore won't talk to me!" I very dramatically put my hand to my head. "how will I ever live on?" I put my hands on the counter and look her in the eyes. "you want a coke, it'll be 75 cents." She just rolled her eyes and looked to Soda. "soda, can you get me one?" What is wrong with this chick? I waited for Soda to hand her one, but instead, he put his hand on mine and just got one for himself. "you got 75 cents?" I smiled. She looked hurt, like they had been best friends for years and he just said he was moving away forever. It was fantastic. Her friends looked at one another and decided to leave, in which she followed, after flipping me off. I could care less. "thanks for sticking up for me" he flashed me a smile and gave me a quick kiss. "that's what good boyfriends do, right?" I smile and pull his head down to kiss me. "I love you" he mumbles against my lips. "I love you too"

Darry:
-you said it first

I slowly get up, trying not to wake him. Darry has been working all week, so I decided to let him sleep in while I make him breakfast. I tip toe over to the dresser and throw on some shorts and one of his shirts. Then I walk to the kitchen as quietly as possible and grab my ingredients. I'm not too good of a cook, but pancakes are pretty simple, so there shouldn't be a problem. I have an old pancake recipe from when I was a kid that my mom would use, I remember it only because of the amount of times I've seen her make it. I was mixing everything together, still trying to remain quiet as I pour it onto the griddle. I decide to throw in some chocolate chips, Steve would love it. Then I found some bacon and cooked that too, because y'know, it's bacon. Soon I finished the pancakes and bacon and plated everything. The smell of bacon filled the house. I made sure to wake up extra early so none of the gang was over, I didn't need them eating everything before Darry got any. I was pouring a few glasses of orange juice when I feel a pair of hands wrap around my waist. "good morning" I could tell it was Darry because of his sleepy morning voice. "mornin Dar, I made bacon and pancakes" he kisses my cheek, "thank you" I turn around to face him, his hands still on my waist, and smile at him. "how did I get so lucky?" I giggle at his remark and he leans in to kiss me. I quickly peck his lips and gaze into his eyes. "I love you" he kisses my cheek, "I love you more"
