It Started At The Record Store (Ponyboy X Reader)

Part 7

On Sunday afternoon, I was gojng to church st with my Mom to pick out a prom dress. Prom was in three weeks. I didnt have a date, i was gonna hang out with Ponyboy and a couple of my girl friends.
We went into a dress shop and picked out a couple of dresses. The first one.. I didnt like it on me. It was pretty, just not on me. It was a long wavy strapless pink dress with a hint of violet when it hit the light.
Second was a mini dress that was a cherry red and hugged my body too tight.
Thrid was a puffy blue dress with green lace straps.
Fourth... Fourth was perfecto. It was a dark purple dress that ened mid theigh. It had a royal blue waist band and it flared out a little. Not to mention... it was on sale for 35 bucks.
I got that dress and black tights with black flats to wear with it.
After buying it, Mom and i walked home in silence.

"So are you going with Ponyboy?" She caught me off guard and my heart fluttered at the thought of it. I can feel my face heat up and i quickly look down at my shoes.

"I wasnt planning on it. I was just gonna hang out wih him and a couple other friends." I try to play it cool. Mom exhales and then looks at me.

"I dont understand why yoh cintinue to not date or at least mingle," Mom shrugs then continues, "You did date Caiden for two years. Why cant you try with anyone else?"
My chest hurt when she mentioned Caiden. Its like my heart fell jnto a abyss and couldnt get out. Caiden went to my old school. He was awfulky sweet and i loved him very much but my parents wanted to move to Tulsa to be closer to family.

"I am just having fun. Dating is rough and I am not ready for it." I roll my eyes feeling my blood boil a bit in anger. Caiden, my Mom loved him. Si dud i but i mean... I am over him.

"You're Father doesnt mind that." Mom chuckles as we walk inside and I feel so embarrassed

THREE WEEKS LATER
I was excited to hang out with Ponyboy and other people tonight. Im sitting outside in my dress waitin for Ponyboy. The girls had dates of course, unlike me. Ponyboy walked up the road. He had a clean blue plaid shirt on with clean blue jeans and dress shoes.
I had my dress on wuth my hair down and with a bit of makeup, but not too much. Pony glances uo at me as he reaches the doors and he smiles.

"You look.. very pretty Miss.Y/n." Ponyboy comments and i give him a crooked smile.

"You look mighty nice yourself."

HMMMMMM WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? WILL IT BE GOOD OR BAD? YOU SHALL WAIT
