Ponyboy Curtis

Chapter Three-Double Date

I woke up and did my same morning routine. Take a shower, put on t-shirt, jeans, and converse. I don't ever do my hair, because it always gets messed up at the end of the day anyway.

I met up with Pony and Johnny on the bus.

"Hey Kailey, want to play 'red hands'?" Pony asked.

"Uh, what is that?" I've never heard of it.

"You place your hands on top of mine, and I try to slap the top of yours."

"it sounds like you just want to touch my hands." I did the cheesiest wink I could.

"I'm just picking, but yea, Il'll play."

I ended up winning three out of five so I decided to play Johnny.

In the middle of the game I glanced at Ponyboy who was smiling the cutest little smile ever. I just couldn't stop star-"Ouch!" Who in the world would cut me off from my thoughts?!

"Sorry, I was just thinking." I quickly apologized.

"No you weren't, you were just to busy drooling over Ponyboy." Johnny pointed out. I could already feel my cheeks warming up.

Before anyone could get another word out we arrived at school. As I was getting off my shoelace got caught on something. i would have fallen right on my face if it wasn't for a pair of hands to save me from my death.

I quickly turned around to see Ponyboy. 

"Uh, thanks."

"Hurry up! Your'e holding up the line! A raspy voice called.

I exited the bus, man, I don't want to hear that voice again.

"Thanks for catching me, I thought that was the end."

"No problem, everyone would have laughed at you if I didn't."

"Wait, you're more worried about people laughing at me than me getting my face broken?"

"No, it's not that I-just-ugh-never mind."

"Dude, I was just kidding." I said laughing.

I could hear Johnny chuckling.

"Well, I know you were just pickin'."

"Then why did you get all angry?"

"I didn't I was just saying."

"Will you guys quit arguing? Ya'll sound like a married couple!" johnny broke in.

"Ew, a married couple?" Pony and I said in unison.

"Never mind. it's almost time for class anyway."

First period was a drag. I practically slept the whole time. First period was English. it's freezing in there, and if I hadn't worn my hoodie I would have froze to death.

At least I had second with Johnny. we sit next to each other, so we talk.

"Hey, Johnny cake, I want to talk to you about a little someone." I smiled at him.

"Uh, who is this 'someone'? And why are we talking about them?"

'Ok, well, you know Jace, the one at lunch yesterday?"

"Yea, we didn't talk much but she digs ok."

"I think she has a little crush on you."

"Ok, now you're messing with me. No one could have a crush on me."

"Johnny Cade, you are the cutest little thing, and tons of girls would do anything for you. so give her a try?"

We ended up seeing who could draw the best picture. I won, but only because I've been drawing since goodness knows when.

I have third period with Pony, and he sits behind me.

I turned around to face him.

"Do me a favor, Pony?"

'Uh, sure."

"Be Johnny's wing man." I smiled.

"Wing man? What do you mean?"

'You remember Jace from yesterday, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, she likes Johnny, so I told Johnny, and I said that they should hook up or something."

"Yeah, ok, I can do that."

"Thank you, Pone." I smiled at him one last time before I turned around.

I felt someone playing with my hair and slowly turned around.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Playing with your hair, it's really long." He smiled that cute little smile.

"Yeah, ok, carry on." I loved when people played with my hair, it made me sleepy.

I was about to doze off when I felt a pain in both of my sides.

I yelped so loud the whole class turned around and looked at me.

"I-uh-I saw a really big spider."

That was a horrible save, but it worked right?

I quickly turned around to face Pony.

"What on earth was that for?" I glared at him.

"I thought it would be funny, and it was." he said in between laughs.

The rest of the period went on as normal and the bell finally rang. I was starving.

"Hey, Johnny, you should ask Jace on a date or something." I suggested.

"I'll try."

We all sat down and started talking about little nothings.

"Hey, Jace I was wondering if you wanted to-to go on like a double date." Johnny asked her, but he said double. Why would he say double?

"I would love to, Johnny, who's the other couple?" Jace asked.

"That would be Ponyboy, and Kailey." He smiled at us

My heart sank to my stomach. A double date with Pony? I don't know about this, I mean, I just don't know.

I slowly turned to Pony, he was already looking at me. I couldn't read his expression, maybe he was waiting on mine.

"Lets just do it for Johnny, and we can count it as friends, you know?" I sheepishly smiled.

"Yeah, I can do that, for Johnny." He half smiled.

"So, Johnny, we can do the 'date' tonight since it's Friday." Pony suggested.

"Yea, that sounds great to to me. How 'bout you guys?"

"That sounds great." Jace and I said in unison.

Great, I have a double date with Pony.
