// Third Person Point Of View //

The sixteen year old stood at the cashier wit a smile on his face, waiting for any costumers. He had an apron tied tightly around  a his waist, flour covered it almost completely. The mess didn't matter to him though, he loved his job and what he did. It a slow say that day and honestly he was bored out of his mind, just standing there with a smile. Then about a minute or two later, a woman walks in holding a boys hand, he seemed about five years old.

They walked up to the counter and she picked up the boy, holding him up probably so he won't touch anything. He struggled in her arms for a minute before stopping, a pout on his face. She looked at the pastries for a minute before looking up at Ponyboy with a small smile.

"May I have two chocolate chip cookies please," she asks sweetly.

"Yes you may," he says grabbing two of the cookies and handing them to her.

"Thank you so much," she replied giving him the money and placing a tip in the tip jar. "Have a nice day."

"You too ma'am," he calls as she leaves the bakery.

He stood there for another minute, looking out of the bakery window, watching as the people walk by. It wasn't the best to him just standing there. It it was worth it to see those people smile when they got something. He leaned forward and pressed his elbows against the counter, resting his head in his hands. It puffed his cheeks out a bit and made him looked like he was pouring, he did the mind thought he was just bored out of his mind. Another person walked in, this time a boy around his age.

He head black hair, it looked soft to the touch and it blew in every direction with the wind. He had tan skin and dark eyes, like marbles or orbs. They really were beautiful and they fit with him well, it made him look innocent almost. The boy walked up to the counter with a smirk, looking at all of the pastries before picking eyes with Ponyboy. He stared for a second or two.

"May I have a sugar cookie please? The almost look as sweet as you," the boy said smoothy, as if he said it many times before.

"Y-yeah, I'll get it," Ponyboy said, his face dusted a light pink color.

He walked over to where the cookies were at and stood up on his tip toes, grabbing a cookie off of the shelf. He felt eyes looking at him but ignored it completely, bringing the coo!Is back to the boy and handed it to him. The boy dug money out of his pocket and gave it to Ponyboy, dropping a big tip into the jar. Ponyboy smiled lightly at the customer and bit his lip, no one has ever left a tip that big before. The boy took a bite of what he bought, staring into Ponyboy's eyes.

"The names Johnny," was all he said, walking out and leaving Ponyboy alone.
