Stay Gold(PonyBoy x Reader)

Chapter 34

I was finally Independent. Which means, no more awkwardness between Pony and I when it comes to baths. It was only the second day of school and I have months to go. I sighed and threw my feet over the bed. I grabbed my crutches and went over to the closet. I wanted to look good, but not overdressed. I picked army green jeans and a navy blue long sleeve. I curled my hair and put on red lipstick, did a cateye, and applied mascara. I put on one white converse since the other foot was covered with the cast. I limped (?) Out of the bathroom and went to the kitchen

"Y/n! Looking good! As always." Soda smiled, digging into his eggs

"Thank you." I smiled softly and looked to the ground. "It feels good to finally not have to sit in that stupid wheelchair."

"But now I can't get out of class early.." Pony faked a frown and I just ate my breakfast. Yes, its been months since the incident. Ponyboy and I are still awkward and we still have tension between us. Darry drove us to school. I got on my crutches and hopped to the doors. I turned around to wait for Pony when I saw a sight that made my stomach turn.

There Silvia was, cornering Pony, her hands on his neck. Ponyboy looked very uncomfortable. I jumped over to them

"Oh pony.. Do you know how hot you are? You-" I cut Silvia off

"Ponyboy! There you are! I missed you, baby. " I set my crutches on the wall and placed my hands on his biceps. Then I pressed my lips on his. He wasn't quick to react. He put his hands on my waist and kissed me back. I heard an angry mutter. I pulled apart. Silvia was gone.

"That meant nothing. " I spat and grabbed my crutches and placed them under my shoulders. I began to walk away and pony grabbed me.

"Thank you. I was getting a little scared." He said and I gave him a little smile.

"You're welcome"

The day went by slow and it was lunch time. I sat with my best friend, Kaylen. She was one gorgeous greaser. She has dirty blonde wavy hair with golden brown eyes that sparkled in the sunlight. Boys dropped at her feet, even the socs. But she was dating Steve Randle. Everyone was instantly jealous that she would go out with him.

"Sooo. Y/n. Are you still with Ponyboy?" She made a kissy face and I lightly punched her.

"No... He cheated on me with Cherry. I caught them kissing on my birthday.." I bit into the skin of the crisp apple.

"Wait what? On your birthday?! With Sherri Valance?" She clentched her fists. Kaylen was a sweet girl, but she was a damn good fighter.

"Kaylen, its fine. I made out with Dallas Winston a few months after." I winked and she laughed.

"Man, I wish I could get me some of Dally." Kaylen chuckled.

"You probably can. How's you and Steve?" I asked

"Eh. He's a bit too...grabby. I've been eyeing Soda." She shrugged

"Good choice. Good kisser" I took another bite of my apple when her eyes widened

"Hold on. You kissed The Sodapop Curtis?!"

"Mhmm. Well. He kissed me first."

"What cute guy have you not kissed?" She chuckled

"Way to make me feel like a slut. I've only kissed four people in my life. Give me a break, Kay." I sighed

"Aw I'm sorry Y/n. I didn't mean to. How about we meet at the DX station?" Kaylen gave me a hug.

"That sounds good. We'll walk there after school. Its only a few blocks away." I shrugged. She nodded. Then the bell rang.
