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

Girl vs Girl

It was almost sundown, so I figured I would go to the park and watch the sunset. It gets real beautiful at this time of season. I wanted Pony to come with me, but he still wasn't back from the DX. I had to walk home by myself, which was pretty dangerous.

The park was vacant at the moment. It looked peaceful and quiet. There was no soc or greasers here, so I guess I'm the only person here. I kicked around a rock, as I made my way over to the monkey bars. I climbed on and sat on the very top. From here, I was able to get a good view of the entire park, including some of the neighborhood. I sighed as I let myself relax for once. Many things went through my mind, as I waited for the sun to start setting behind the trees. I dropped my gaze to my lap as I got lost in thought.

One of the things I was thinking about, was my old life. My friends, family, everybody I ever cared about, do they even miss me? I bet they don't even realize I'm gone. Out of the blue, Pony pops into my mind. He's the last thing I want to think about. I thought about how I kind of confessed I like him. How he kissed me in the school basement. "Love stinks" I mumbled.

Why can't it be easy? Why can't a relationship be as magical and easy as in the movies? I looked up from my lap, noticing the color change in the sky. The sun was half way hiding behind the trees, causing the sky to explode with red, blue, purple, yellow..... gold. It made the whole world look pretty, nice, perfect. Like as if there wasn't any violence anywhere. Even though I seemed lost just looking at this magnificent sight, I was still thinking about Pony.

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways,
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being  and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--- I love thee with the breadth,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death."

I sighed after saying that beautiful poem, reciting it from my mind. I remember reading that from a book I fell in love with.  Who would of thought I would have a favorite book? I read so many, it's kind of hard for me to pick one.

"That was beautiful." I jumped and turned around, only to find Pony standing behind me. I immediately got embarrassed. He climbed on and sat besides me.

"How long were you here?"

"Long enough to hear the poem" he replied. I looked away from him.

"Oh" I said. What more was there to say? I was getting nervous. "Uh, Pony?"

"Hmm?" I could feel him looking at me. His sweet hazel eyes, just staring in my direction. My words got caught in my throat.

"Uh... the sunset looks pretty today" I choked out.

"Oh, yea" he replied.

"Was that all that happened? He didn't hold your hand or anything?" I shook my head. Rebekah and I were sitting on the side, outside the school. We were supposed to be in gym, but skipping one class won't hurt, right? "Wow, and have you told him how you feel yet?"

"Yea, kind of. He over heard me talking to my aunt about it, but he knows I like him" I said. She raised her eyebrows at me.

"Hmm, well, I don't know what to tell you" she replied. "But I will tell you this, I will get y'all together." I turned to her.

"Oh, no, you don't to do that" I started, but she cut me off.

"What if we play 7 minutes in heaven? At my house? I think that's a good idea" she beamed, before turning to me with a wide smile on her face. "My house, Saturday at 6, okay?" With that, she stood up and left me there, dumbfounded about what just happened. I sighed and sat back against a tree. For a moment, everything seemed calm, when a shadow fell over my body. I looked up into the eyes of some girl, staring down at me as if I was some pest.

"Can I help you with something?" I got up and dusted off the dirt that got on my jeans. She rolled her eyes at me.

"So, you're the girl that likes Ponyboy Curtis?"

"Why do you ask?" She crossed her arms, and groaned.

"Because, I like him too, and I don't want anything to get between us" she said harshly. I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Excuse me, there is nothing between you and Pony" I shot back.

"Uh, yes there is, and you better stay away from him, or else" she threatened, before turning on her heel, and walking off. I felt my blood boil as I watched her walk away. Oh no, she ain't getting away so easily. I grabbed a medium sized rock from the ground, and threw it at her. It hit her on the back of the head. I smiled in satisfaction as she fell forward.

Ha, that's what you get, you little brat.
