Ponyboy's pov: As i walked to my 5th hour of the day, i saw the face i had been wanting to see all day. Johnny! "Hey man!" I said from behind him. He turned around quickly looking pale as a ghost. "Oh, h-hey man." Johnny said still pretty shaken up. "How you been?" I asked. We talked for awhile until we both decided to head inside the classroom to find somewhere to sit. The classroom had a few tables, with 4 seats at each. Johnny and I chose a table at the back. While we were lost in conversation, a boy came up to us. "Uh, hey. Can i sit with you guys?" He asked. He didn't look like a soc or a greaser. He just looked like a normal kid. He was wearing a blue, plaid button up, and some black jeans. "Uh yeah, why not?" I said. I really didn't mind.
"My name's David. David Lockridge." He said while smiling.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Ponyboy, and this is Johnny." I said while sticking my hand out for him to shake. He took my hand gladly, and then shook Johnny's then he sat down in the seat across from me. Just before the bell rang, a girl came rushing into the classroom. It was Y/N. Great. There were no other seats open in the classroom, so the teacher instructed her to sit at our table. "Uh, hi." She said shyly when she sat down. "Hi! You're Y/N, right?" David asked. "Yeah, that's me." She said while smiling. They talked for awhile, then she teacher started passing out our worksheets.
I didn't like it. I didn't like them talking to each other like that. I mean i'm not jealous. I just wish it was me she was talking to. David was smiling a lot when he was talking to her. So was she.
Johnny noticed something was wrong with me quick. I didn't realize I looked that upset. "Hey, what's up?" he whispered to me. "Nothing, man." I whispered back. He did not buy it.
"Alright, for your first assignment of the year, you will be doing a group project with the people at your table, over an important event in US history." the teacher ranted. Jesus this was going to be boring.
Y/N's pov:
Well this is just great. I got paired with Ponyboy for a group project. I mean i also got paired with this really sweet kid named David. He was pretty cute, too. There's also a kid named Johnny in our group. He was really quiet. "So maybe we could do our project over the American Revolution?" I suggested. "I know a bit about that." Johnny said. "Same with me." David added in.
"Whatever." Ponyboy said, obviously annoyed he wasn't in control of the whole thing. "Alright, so it's settled. Do we all wanna meet up after school to work on it?" I asked. My question earned a lot of yeahs and mhms.
After we all agreed on what we were doing and where we were going, we just made a bunch of small talk. I learned that David and I both really like painting, and art. I learned that Johnny loves sunsets like Ponyboy, and I learned nothing from Ponyboy. He just kept glaring at David. That really bothered me.
