Giselle's POV

"Hey! What's your name?" he yelled after me. I stopped and turned around to face him. "I'll only tell mine if you tell yours" I said and he smiled.

"My name's Ponyboy Curtis" he said with a smile and a little blush. I smiled and nodded. "I'm Giselle" I said simply before turning and walking away.

He only followed. "Well Giselle, if you hadn't tell, I-i'm a Greaser" he said and I chuckled. "I could tell. Your hair is a little long to be a Soc" I said.

He nodded. "Well, where ya goin'?" I shrugged. I, myself, didn't even know where I was off to. All I know is my parents are too busy working and my friends are out.

"I'm not too sure" I said but continued walking. "You can come with me! Back to the parkin' lot where we all gather up and talk" he said. I looked at him with a quirked brow.

"'we' as in?" his face only seemed to brighten by the second. "Me, Johnny, Soda, Two-Bit, Steve, Tim, shoot! Maybe even Darry and Dally!" he said. I thought for a second.

I know Ponyboy because he just saved me from a fight between another Greaser and Soc. I've heard of Steve and Tim. I also know that Soda works at a gas station, but I don't know the rest.

I let out a puff of air before agreeing. "Alright, but it better not be far" I said and he smiled. "Don't worry. It ain't" he said as he led the way.

"Giselle!?" I snapped my head over faster than a pull pin trigger. "Yeah?" I asked as I came face to face with Ponyboy and Johnny.

"I was just wonderin' if you were goin' to the movies tonight. Dally and Two-Bit'll come with us" Johnny said. I smiled.

"Sure" I answered. They went back to talking as I spaced out again. It's been three years of me hanging around with this odd group of Greasers but I don't regret meeting them.

"Did ya hear about Dally? I guess he was cuttin' tires again last night" I heard Johnny tell Pony. "Again? That boy always has what's comin' to him" Pony said with a shake of his head.

It scared me to think that Dallas might go back to jail. Him and I have a strong bond. It's not like we like each other, though I know there's something there for him, but Two-Bit and I have a stronger one.

Two-Bit was always careful when it came to me. He would always make sure I was alright and always keep an eye on me. When alone, he tends to sit close to me or hold my hand.

"Heya there Pony, Johnny boy, Gis" came the loud voice of Soda. I rolled my eyes at the nickname he gave me. "Heya Soda, Where's Darry?" Said Pony.

Soda shrugged. "Last time I checked, he was still workin'" he said. Pony nodded. "Will you be workin' late tonight?" Johnny asked. Soda smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Yup, have to take an extra shift" he said. He sat down on the other side of Johnny and began talking to him as Ponyboy turned to me.

"Ya sure ya wanta go with a couple of knuckle heads like us?" he asked. I nudged his arm and smile. "I've done it for three years, don't see why ya think I can't do it now" I said.

"Oh, you've gone with Dally and Two-Bit separately, but ya never seen 'em together at a movie" he said with a grin.

I smiled at him and shrugged.

"How bad could it be?"
