Weeks after that movie night I don't know if Dally was purposely ignoring me or not. We did turn in that English project, then after he just stopped talking to me. I met this other guy though. His name was Curly. He was the same age as me. I heard him and Dally were friends.

He just started talking to me because he noticed me and Dally hanging out. So while Dally was ignoring me I started getting along with him. I walked around the neighborhood. Curly was sick and I had to get him medicine. I biked my way there to the shop. I bought it. I bought an extra if he ever needs another one later.

Curly was at my place this time because we were hanging out while Soda and Darry aren't home. I walked out the small store and I saw Dally's gang outside. I just glared at him. I put the medicine in my pocket. I almost looked away until I realized they all looked back at me.

"What're you lookin at queer?" One of them laughs. I backed away a little. I just kept looking at Dally. He looked a little guilty but I'm not sure what he's thinking. I quickly got on my bike and rode away before they could come jump me or something like that. I didn't want to look like a coward but I just showed it.

I turned back and Dally was just looking at me. I ignored it. I made it back home and went to Curly. I felt my pockets and I don't feel the familiar shape. I checked all my pockets and I panicked. "Dammit." I whined.

"Where is it? Did you even get it?" Curly asks me. "It must've fell out of my pocket." I told him. "It's okay." He says. I nod and smile at him. "I even paid for it." I said. "Don't worry about that. I'll be fine." He says. "Anyways, tell me about Dally." He lits a cigarette. He noticed my staring at the cigarette.

"Want one?" He asks. "I never smoked." I told him.

"You can try."

"I don't know." I bit my lip.

He hands me one. I just looked at it and he lit it up for me. I didn't wanna be a pussy so I put it in my mouth. I instantly started coughing and Curly let out a quiet laugh. "It's okay try again." He tells me. I did it again and blew the smoke out. It felt good. "Doesn't it feel nice?" He ask and I nodded. I took a puff of my cigarette again.

"So tell me about Dally." He repeats himself. I looked up. "Well he's tough you already know. I like him. He's just been acting like he doesn't know me now. I don't know why." I told him. He shakes his head. "Man, maybe he doesn't wanna be seen with you. Maybe he still wants to hang with you but it's just hard for him."

I had a sudden realization. "I hope your right." I sighed. "I'll talk to him if you want. Here you can also have this pack of cigarettes." He tosses it to me and leaves the house. I was almost gonna tell him not to talk to dal but it's too late.

Time skip

It's been 2 hours and I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and it was Dally. I was surprised I gasped a little. I let him in. "Hey Pony." He sits on the couch. I sat next to him. "Hi. So why haven't you been talking to me?" I ask him. "I thought we were... friends?"

He furrows his eyebrows at me. "I never said we were." He simply says. "You were just my partner. It was fun but it doesn't mean we were friends." Then I gave him a look. "I just wanted to know. I don't have anyone. So I considered you as a friend and you meant a lot to me. It just hurts." I told him. He looks down.

"Didn't know I held that much meaning to you. What do you want me to do then?" He asks. I wanted to say I wanted a kiss but I kept quiet. "Nothing just leave me alone. I don't wanna bother you." I said. He sighs. "Pony. I don't hate you though." I just kept my head down. "Also you dropped this." He hands me the medication I got for Curly. I smiled at him. "Wow thanks." I said and he winks at me.

Eventually he left and Curly came in. "How was it?" He asks. "It was fine I guess." I got up in front of him. "He gave me the medicine I dropped." I gave it to him. "Oh okay. Thanks Pony." He gives me a hug and I blushed. "You're welcome. So where are you headed?" I ask him. "Um I'll probably pick up a broad of something. Oh It's Halloween soon and I really think you and Dally should come with me to prank people instead of candy." Curly suggests.

I got happy. "Wait that actually sounds like a lot of fun." I said. "Yeah it is fun. Usually I'd go with Tim and Angela but I wanna go with friends instead." He looks at me. I just stared at him. I smiled at the fact that he called me a friend. I don't get why people think Curly is rude. Or like a psychopath. He's super nice to me at least.

"What's our costumes gonna be?" I ask. He shrugs. "I told dally about this too and he said he'll be getting costumes for us. I hope he won't get us bad ones though." Curly tells me. "Oh okay. I'm feminine so he'll probably get me something girly." I frowned. He punches my arm playfully. "Even if you did get something girly I would think it's pretty cute." Then my face burns.

He looks at me. I think he notices my blushing but I looked away. He giggles. "Anyways, what do you plan on doing, baby Curtis?" He takes a drag of his cigarette.

Baby Curtis... that only just made me blush more. "U-Um I'll probably just be reading." I told him. He smiles. "That's fun and nerdy. Maybe you could read to me sometime." He says. I was non stop blushing. He's so smooth. I couldn't help but look at his lips. He gets up. "I'll be heading out now. Plus I think I'll be fixing my hair. Instead of my hair being curly, it's more like tangled." He laughs. I nod. I said goodbye and he left.

I went to my room and laid on my bed. I put the blanket over me and sighed. I could imagine his lips on mine and I really just wanted to kiss him. Curly was sweeter than Dally. Dally would tease me and Curly would just be nice. I didn't wanna think that Curly was faking his kindness just to get along with me. I mean I hope that's not what he's doing. I'd probably be depressed.

Plus, he's probably straight anyway. He told me he was gonna pick up a broad. I just kept thinking about Curly until realizing I need to fix things with Dally still. I should just leave Dal alone. Besides, I was nothing more than a class partner. Whatever. I feel like my life has just changed for the past month.

End of the chapter. Did you like it? Okay but seriously I took forever to write this because I kept changing what was going to happen. But anyways hope you enjoyed this chapter. Is Curly's character like... out of character?
I don't know much about him I just looked him up the same day I started writing this chapter. Also I just suddenly started liking Purly, so if you found a good book or one shot of Purly send it to me lmao. Thank you.
