I wanted to say that because there will be a scene from the movie later on in the chapter. Creds to queen S.E. Hinton.

"NAOMI? WEIRD SEEING you here. I haven't seen you in like a week." Johnny spoke, walking up to me.
I furrowed my eyebrows. "What are you doing out here walking by yourself? Dal would kill you if he found out."
Johnny chuckled. "I was actually trying to look for Dally. I was going to ask him if he wanted to come to the Nightly Double tonight with me and Pony. You can come too if you want."
I smiled at his offer. Johnny was the sweetest thing and needed to be protected no matter what. I could tell Dally cared about him, and I could tell Johnny practically kissed the ground Dally walked on.
"I'll think about it." I replied, walking with him towards Buck's.
Johnny cleared his throat and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "How you holdin' up?"
I glanced down at the ground and flashed him a fake smile. "I'm always alright, Johnny. I will be. I'm used to it."
"You know, you shouldn't be living by yourself, Naomi. You could live at the Curtis's. They probably wouldn't mind at all." Johnny offered, making me laugh.
"As much as I would appreciate that, the Curtis household is not a hotel. They're struggling enough, and I'm not going to intrude. I'll find somewhere to live. I can't keep up with bills because I don't have a job." I chuckled, upset that I had to leave the house and bedroom I lived in my whole life.
Dally and I had our first kiss in that bedroom.
Johnny's eyes lit up. "I have an idea! If you wouldn't mind roommates that is."
