-From his perspective-

You were one of Johnnys friend and his age.  He invited you to come with him to the DX one night to hang with the gang outside. 

You were standing Infront of a blue beaten down truck Darry owned to drive to work. You were standing in between Johnny and PonyBoy while I stood on the right of Darry and Dallis with Steve doing something in the store.

You were wearing a red flannel with the sleeves with sleeved a little too big and jean shorts. You had on a white t-shirt and black beaten up converse. You had you hair down and it was blowing in your face that bothered you so much that you had to keep putting it behind your ear. 

You had Y/E/C (Your eye color) eyes that glisten in the light, Or maybe that's just how I saw it. You were loud in school and funny but you seemed quiet outside of it until you were comfrable. You had a beautiful shade of Y/H/C (Your hair color) which seemed soft and tamed, 

You looked up and saw me looking at you so I looked over at PonyBoy because he made a joke at the perfect timing.  I didn't hear it but I pretended to laugh so it wasn't awkward but you giggled. It was such a cute laugh that I looked back over at you and smiled at you.

You smiled back,  

A little while after the gang was in the shop messing with Steve while you stayed out for a smoke. 

Once you got done you started up a Convo. 

"You trynna copy me?"  You looked serious.  "What?"  I looked over. "Your flannel, Looks identical to mine. You trynna copy me?"  You smiled which I cought on and realized you were joking.

"I think your copying me"  I replied to which you laughed a little.  "You smoke a lot?"  I asked.  "No, Just when I'm over worked, stressed, overthinking or just want to" 

"Why you smoking now?"  "Your friend group is big, It's awkward. I don't know what to say or do or if my jokes are gonna be a hit or miss, Or who's judging me" "You don't have to fit in, Plus I think your pretty cool"  You smiled at me. You were pretty good at keeping eye contact which made me flutter even more.

"Thank you, You seem popular to, You smoke?"  "Thank you, And yeah. But only for the same reason as you. You got another?"  

"No sorry, I can let you hit this one"  You handed it over to me.  I put it to my mouth and could taste your lip gloss.  

"Oh sorry, Is it wet? I just put on some lip gloss"  I handed it back to you. "No your good" "I can go buy you some"  "I work here" I laughed a little.  "Oh sorry, So you could get me stuff for free"  "Yeah anything"  "Is your number free?"  "Usually it's not, But for you It's on the house"  I leaned on the other car behind me. 

You giggled and I wrote it on a scrape of paper. 

I noticed you tented to apologize alot.  

"Will I see your around a lot?"  "Yes, I'm here all week and I'm off on the weekends.  I also live with PonyBoy and Darry. I'll tell the gang I'm inviting you over if you want"  "Uh, Sure" You smiled. 

The boys were walking out. 

"Hey guys, I invited Y/N to come down tomorrow since I don't have work since it's saturday"

"You guys get close while we were gone?"  Dally smiled to which me and you just smiled at eachother.  "Y/N, you should stay the night tonight"  PonyBoy suggested.  "Oh, I don't have clothes and is there room for me to sleep?"  "Yeah you could sleep with Soda and we could pick up some clothes, Johnny said you don't live far"  

"Yeah, that could work if it's okay with Darry"  "It's fine, Just don't be disrespectful and messy"  "I won't"  

We got in the car and I put my arm around you and you fell asleep.
