Mark this on your calendars; 3 imagines written in one day?! This will never happen again.

(Y/L/N)= your last name just to clarify
__________________________

"(Y/L/N)!" Your coach called. "the 2 mile is about to begin! Get to the starting line!"
You were at your track meet. Today you were running the 3200 meter, or 2 mile today. Usually, you ran the mile so this was pretty new to you. But you wanted to win. And you would try your hardest.
The starter placed you guys into lanes, with you starting in lane one; your favorite lane.
"Runners to your mark," the starter said. "Set...GO!" The gun went off and you began. Great. You had to run 8 laps.
Soon, it became 7. Then 6. Then 4. Then 2. Then the final lap. You sprinted as fast as you could. You finished first with a time of 13:29. Your best (and only) 2 mile time. The whole team came to cheer you on.
"That was amazing!" Your best friend cried.
"Thanks!"
"By the way, Pony was cheering you on the hardest."
"Ugh! He won't stop following me around!"
Pony liked you. A lot. He followed you around and tried to hang with your friends. Pony was a good friend of yours, but sometimes you just gotta hang with your other friends. It got a bit annoying sometimes. Plus, you were a Soc. You weren't mean to Greasers (you were friends with some too), but your Soc friends didn't agree with you.
"When are you gonna tell him no?" Your friend asked.
"He's my friend! I'm not gonna hurt him. I'll just let him know that I need some space."
"Speak of the devil," your friend whispered and walked away.
You turned around to see Pony waiting for you.
"Hey Pony! What's up?"
"Nothing much. You did a great job out there!"
"Thanks! 13:29! What are you runnin' today?"
"100m, 200m and the 100m relay."
"Nice! Good luck!" You turned to walk away, but Pony stopped you. He looked really cute right then. His hair (blond because he bleached it) was falling into his eyes, and he was biting his lip.
"Look, (y/n), I know I've been following you around a lot. I saw your friend talking to you 'bout it."
You turned red.
"Hey it's okay! Don't be embarrassed. But I was wonderin' if you wanna watch the sunset in the lot tonight? I know you live on the other side of town a probably wouldn't want to be caught by your friends but-"
"Pony. It okay. I come with you. I'd like that a lot!"
"Really?! Great! That's awesome! Er um, uh, I mean that's cool." He ears were turning red. "I'll see you then."
"Yeah," you replied, "see ya."

After the track meet was done, you met Pony at the lot and watched the sunset.
"I love sunsets so much," you sighed.
"Me too. I love all the colors." Pony replied.
"Same. All the gold colors! Too bad life can't be this beautiful."
"What?" Asked a confused Pony.
"Well, everything thinks the Socs have the best lives ever. Well we don't. My father hates me. My mother spoils me. They're always fighting and yelling and then they yell at me. There are times I wish I could just leave. But I can't. I'm stuck there for a few more years." You were close to tears. "I live by that poem by Robert Frost. Nothing Gold Can Stay. Have you heard of that? That basically describes me. That's the only thing that keeps me movin'." You began to cry.
Pony put his arm around you. "Hey. It's gonna be okay. I know that poem really well. It's also helped me through times."
You knew he was talking about the death of his friend Johnny.
"I promise you things will get better. It will be okay soon. I promise.
You smiled through your tears.
"I love you so much Pony."
"I love you too."
You turned to look at him. He was tearing up too.
"What do you think about being my girl, (y/n)?"
You smiled. "Yes," you whispered. "Yes."
