Part Five

It was a few days later, and I was hanging out with some other greaser girls since everyone in the gang was busy with something, "Y'know, I kinda wanna breakup with my boyfriend right now, he just keeps nagging me." Angela complains, "What was his name again? Bryon?" another greaser girl asks, "Yeah him, he's been just so.. Annoying lately." Angela continued to rant about how her boyfriend, Bryon Douglas another boy at our school. He wasn't a greaser but he wasn't a soc. He was real popular. "Hey y/n, y'know my brother Curly, he's interested in you" Angela says out of nowhere, see Curly wasn't bad looking, or ugly. He just wasn't really my type. "Oh, really?" I asked "Yeah, you should talk to him next time you see him, you'd be cute together." Angela says, I tried not to think about it much since I wasn't interested in him, but maybe it could make Ponyboy jealous..? "I'll talk to him" I said, not knowing if I'd regret my decision or not.

The next day, instead of going to Ponys locker I went to Curlys. "Hey doll" he said, noticing me. "Hey Curly.. Uh Angela told me that-" I started "That I'm interested in you?" he asked, curiously "Yeah.. How'd you know?". "Angela." he said, which made sense. "So doll, you wanna go out sometime?" he asked, "Yeah sure. I'll give you my number!" I say, pulling out a pen and paper and write my number on it "I'll pick you up this Saturday, okay doll?" Curly asked, I smiled "Alright Curly, I'll see you then" I chimed when suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder, I turned around to see Ponyboy. He looked jealous. "Uh, y/n you didn't come to my locker? Are you ready to go?" he asked. "Heh, sorry Pony. I was just talking to Curly here, lets go." I responded. "Later Curly!" I said while Ponyboy grabbed my wrist and tugged at me, trying to leave quickly before I could get another word to Curly. "Bye doll" Curly said before Pony had fully dragged me away. "Y/n what the fuck? Why were you talking to Curly?" Pony said while we took our route to our neighborhood. "Pony, what's wrong with you? Am I not allowed to talk to other guys? I'm not your property you know!" I argued, I loved Ponyboy with all my heart, but I couldn't stand him right now. "He's bad news y/n! I'm just trying to look out for you! I don't want you getting hurt-" Pony argued back, "Ponyboy! Just.. Stop! I'm allowed to talk to who I want, plus Curly is actually interested in me! I can have a boyfriend!" I yelled as we were walking and I started to fasten my pace, so I'd get home quicker, but Pony was a track star so it was no use. "Fine then! Don't come back to me when you get hurt!" Pony yelled. That hurt. Suddenly I started coughing blood and flowers. I couldn't stop. My condition was getting worse.
