Pretend (johnnyboy & curtis sister x cherry)

Chapter 21: What Did We Get Ourselves Into

"It's me!" I yell "I'm Johnny's girlfriend!".

The second I say that all attention turns from Johnny to me. Johnny's eyes got rounder than a Ferris wheel. My heart starts to race because I know it's my turn to get interrogated.

"YOU'RE HIS WHAT?!" asks Darry, angrily.

"I'm his girlfriend," I state. I'm very impressed by how well I'm lying right now.

"Johnny and Lavender sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!" Sings Two-Bit annoyingly.

"Oh shut up Two-Bit!" Says Johnny.

"So you guys are really dating?" Asks Sodapop.

"Yup." Johnny and I both answer in unison.

"How long?" Questions Sodapop again.

"Ever since the day after I got out of the hospital," says Johnny.

"That long! And I didn't notice... Man, I feel stupid!" Says Steve.

"Steve, you are stupid." Pony says insultingly and Steve fights the urge to beat the crap out of the little shit.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Asks Soda, looking upset.

"I was afraid Darry wouldn't approve of us dating." I still can't believe how good I'm lying.

'You are my little sister, so I am skeptical of you dating any boy," I cringe when Darry says boy, "But I don't mind if you date Johnny. He's a good guy for you. This relationship is Darrel Curtis approved." He gives a thumbs up and gives a cheap smile. Why is my brother so corny?

"So..." Two-bit has a look on his face that can only mean the worst, "Have you guy's uh- done it yet?"

"Two you can't just ask two people if they're having sex!" Scolds Dally. But not even two seconds later he follows up with, "But seriously, have you?"

"No!" I shout.

"Good." Mumbles Darry.

"Can we stop talking about this please?" Asks a traumatized Pony.

"Yes, can we please move on?" I say, "Pony, tell us more about Cherry.". But I really don't want to hear about this because he stole my girl. I don't know how I'm handling this so well. I stand up and walk over to sit next to Johnny, who is in his wheelchair beside the couch. I reach down and grab his hand. "Gotta make this shit look believable," I whisper to Johnny and he squeezes my hand. A lesbian and a gay man pretending to be in a relationship. This should be interesting...
