(I'm gonna start putting up pictures to show how Christina looks in the story. Just so you know: it's not always going to be the same person. If that makes sense....)

I woke up & checked the clock. It reads 7:46am. I get up, put on some exercise clothes & put my brown hair in a ponytail. I usually like to wake up early to exercise a little. It helps me stay fit & gets my mind off things. I really need that right now.

I write a note for my parents to let them know what I'm doing. I leave & start to jog. I love running; like I said before, it helps me get my mind off things. It's a beautiful Saturday morning.

As I'm running I see some familiar faces. Steve & Sodapop. I start to get that feeling again. Butterflies. I don't know what's happening to me. I try to ignore them and focus on my running; That doesn't work.

"Hey is that Chris?" I can hear Steve say. Shit, they noticed me.

"Hey, Chris! Wait up!" Sodapop says. I stop running & see them running towards me.

I give them a small smile. "Didn't expect to see you guys up this early." I admit.

"We can say the same about you." Steve says. "What are you doin' anyways?"

"Just a little exercise." I say, flexing my arm jokingly. Soda lets out a small laugh.

"Well, we can see that. It's really paying off." Soda says smirking, pointing at my stomach. I feel my face turn red, remembering that my bare stomach is showing. I guess I shouldn't feel embarrassed, I'm in pretty good shape. I start to fan myself so they don't suspect anything.

"Hey buddy we better be taking off." Steve says checking his watch.

"Oh, yeah. Well, we'll see you later Chris." Soda says.

"Will do." I smile & start to run again.

Once I get home I take a shower, eat, watch some tv & decide to head over to the Curtis house.

"Mom, can I hang out at my friends house?" I ask.

"Yeah, sure. Just be careful & be home no later than 10." She explains. It's 3:10 right now.

"Okay, thanks mom." With that I head over to the Curtis house. After a while I make it. I knock on the door & see Darry standing at the door.

"Hey Chris. You know you don't have to knock right?" He asks.

"I know, but that's rude if I just barge in."

"Fair enough." He says motioning me inside.

"Hey Chris!" TwoBit & Soda say.

"Hey." I kneel down & sit next to TwoBit on the floor. We just watch Micky for a while until Dally shows up.

I stiffen. I feel really uncomfortable right now. I don't know how he's gonna react.

"Hey what's up Dal?" Johnny speaks up.

He ignores Johnny's question & looks at me. After about 6 seconds, he finally answers.

"I'm about to talk to this little lady." He says motioning towards me. The room grows silent. Everyone staring at me, waiting for my response.

"Me?" I ask stupidly.

"No, Ponyboy. Of course you." He says sarcastically. I slightly roll my eyes & get up to follow him out the door.

He stands in front of me, his face emotionless. I don't know what to expect.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Well...."

I hope you all liked this chapter!😋💗
