Ponyboy Curtis

Chapter Seven-Comfort Johnny

Holy fuck it's bright in here. I slowly let my eyes adjust to the sun.

I should ride my bike today-oh shit! It's Monday!

I jumped up and looked up at my clock, seven it read.

I took the quickest shower in the whole human race, or so I thought. It felt like it okay?

I didn't bother with my hair, just threw on a black t-shirt, jeans and black converse.

Just in time! I did a little fist pump, and ran to the yellow hell they call a bus.

What? The kids are annoying. At least I have Pony, Johnny, and Jace.

Jace started riding the bus because I told I told her a story about on the bus, I guess I mentioned Johnny and she kinda just started riding.

Breathing heavily getting onto the bus I plopped into a seat next to Jace which is where Pony was sitting.

I would have sat by Jace but Johnny was sitting with her. love birds. I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Howdy, Pony." I gave him a small smile. He is so cute I just want to kiss him.

Wow shut up, you sound like a pussy.

"Hi, why are you late?"

"Yea!" Jace and Johnny chorused together about Pony's question.

"I woke up late, I thought it was Sunday or something. I just forgot." I shrugged.

"But I took the fasted shower in the whole universe, guys!" I almost shouted and my eyes got wide.

They just laughed.

Love doves were deep in conversation so it was no use. I didn't want to talk to Pony but then again I did.

I hate feelings.

I decided to turn to Pony. He wore his usual jacket and jeans, but he looked good wearing them.

"Hey, how ya doin' Pon?"

"Not so good." He turned to face me.

"What's up, doc?" I went to pat his hand but ended up patting his shoulder. That was really awkward for me, guys.

"I just have a head ache, that's all." He half smiled, then shivered.

"Do you want my hoodie? It's kind of hot for me anyway." I'm fucking freezing I don't want to take it off.

"I couldn't." He smiled.

"But you could. You're cold, and that's what friends do. They help each other out."

He hesitated for a moment . "Yea, I guess I will. Thanks, it means a lot." He smiled that one cute little smile.

"I just don't want you to be cold either, that's why I wouldn't take it."

I beamed at his response. That's really sweet.

PONY'S POV

I watched her take off the hoodie and the she handed it to me. it was really soft and warm, and it smelled like her when I put it on.

Well, of coarse it would. It's her hoodie.

I looked at her, her hair was messy and I kind of liked it that way. Sometimes I think I like her, but then sometimes I get a feeling I don't.

I wonder if she likes me too? I hope I don't like her because if I did things would be so complicated. She also said that she'd rather be friends. I guess that was only because I said I would rather be friends.
