As Friday crept closer I noticed Johnny a lot more. after our little comfort session, I don't know, I just started paying more attention to him.

We asked Jace if she wanted to go to the movies with us and she seemed really pumped.

I stared down at my feet as I walked to her house to pick her up.

I knocked on the door and was about to leave until it finally opened to Jace,

She wore a thick Superman blanket around her, hair was a mess, eyes had dark circles underneath them.

"What happened to you?"

"I'm sick." She said nasally.

"So you still want to go to the movies with us or no?"

"No, I want to, but I feel terrible."

"That blows, but I'll see you later, I have to get the guys."

After that I set foot to pony's, I knew Johnny would be there. It is a little early so i can visit with the gang.

I didn't bother knocking, no one ever knocks.

"Hey everybody!" I yelled to the gang.

"Hi Kailey!" they all chorused. Hearing that gave me a warm feeling inside, and I smiled.

Two-Bit was watching Micky and drinking a beer, Steve sat on the floor doing nothing, pony and Johnny sat together on the couch talking, Dally by Johnny, Soda was in the kitchen with Darry most likely.

I sat on the floor and leaned on the couch next to Johnny.

"There playing horror films, do you guys mind?" I asked.

"No, we don't mind." Pony said.

"Good, because I love them." I smiled.

"You guys are going to see a movie?" Dally asked."

"Yea, we are. Want to come?" 

"Sure, I ain't got anything else to do."

"Hey dally, can I have your knife?" I wanted it to just be safe.

"Sure."

We waited until the sun was starting to set to leave.

When we finally sat in our seats it was already dark.

Ten minutes into the movie a girl with read hair and a girl with black sit in front of us.

I didn't pay any attention to them until Dally started hitting up on red.

"Are you a real red head?" He questioned. "Are you real?"

I quit listening after a little and tried to watch the movie.

I know this sounds bad and all, but she's a soc and they always pick on me, so I don't care about her.

"Look, leave her alone, Dal." My head snapped to Johnny's direction.

He stopped messing with her.

"What'd you say to me? 

"C'mon Dal, you heard me." He said a little frightened.

"What'd you say? What'd you say to me you little shit? What'd you say?"

"Come on."

He hesitated. "Wise ass." And with those words he left.

Red turned to johnny. "Thank you, he had me scared to death."

"Well you sure didn't show it. Ain't nobody ever talked to Dal like that."
