Your POV

  You stayed the night over at your bestfriends, Ponyboy Curtis' house. You always slept on the couch, with the TV on for background noise. The smell of bacon and eggs woke you up, you knew it was probably Darry making breakfast.

  "Darry do I have to go to school?" You heard Ponyboy asking Darry
  "Ponyboy Curtis we've been over this, you can't miss school unless you're sick" Darry says firmly
  "Yeah Ponyboy Curtis" you laugh and get up going into the kitchen

  Ponyboy looked at you and gave you a smile
  "Mornin' (y/n)"
  "Morning Pony" you grinned.

  His smile gave you butterflies, you had a huge crush on him. Everybody but him knew it... he was kinda oblivious at times. You loved how he could be so oblivious for one second but then pay attention to detail in the simplest things the next second.

  "Did you sleep alright?" He asks you and sat at the table as you poured yourself some orange juice
"I sure did" you smile and sit down with him at the table

  Darry walked passed and looks at you with an amused look in his blue eyes. Darry was kind of your dad figure at this point, it might've sounded weird but he was the only responsible guy in your life. He makes sure you ate, showered and had clothes for the next day and if not he would make sure they were washed.

  Obviously neither of your parents gave a shit about you which is why you were always at the Curtis house. Soda was the next person to wake up and pretty soon you all sat at the table, as Darry gave everyone three pancakes. Soda had a mischievous gleam in his eyes and you wondered what he was gonna do or what he was planning.

  Both Ponyboy and Soda kept looking at Darry like they were waiting for something. You frowned a little and looked at Ponyboy mouthing
'What's wrong?'
'Just wait' he said putting one finger up.

  Meanwhile Darry had picked up the metal cup that held the syrup and was about to pour it on his pancakes. He stopped and sniffed it.

"What... is this... motor oil?" He frowned big and immediately he looked at Soda who burst out laughing and darted for the door, Darry hot on his trail shouting
"Soda you doofus come back here!"

  Both you and Ponyboy were laughing hard at the two. Ponyboy looked at you as he laughed.

"I've never seen Soda run that fast in my life!" He laughs
"Neither have I. Darry's gonna skin him when he catches that boy" you giggle shaking your head looking back at him.
Ponyboy smiles and after a few moment of silence he asks
"Are you going to homecoming with anybody?"

  Homecoming? You hadn't even thought about that. You didn't really care for dances or social events in general.

"No. I don't even know if I'm gonna go" You admit with a small laugh.
"If someone asked you to go would you?" Ponyboy asks with a hint of nervousness in his voice
"Depends on who would ask me" you shrug smiling a little, you really started hoping he would ask.
"Um... would you like together? Like as a date. If not it's ok, I unde-" he says very quickly before you cut him off
"I'll go with you Ponyboy. A date" you say and smile.

  Ponyboy's face lit up and he smiles. You could see the relief on his face too, he must've thought you were gonna just say no.

"Ok... awesome!" He says nodding his head.

"Now do you mind telling me where the actual syrup is?"

  Darry and Soda both walk in, Soda was covered in dirt and Darry was too. You laugh as soon as you see them. This family was something else, but they were your family, and hopefully Ponyboy would be your boyfriend within the next week!

AUTHORS NOTE

This was a very a wholesome chapter. I definitely wanna do a part two for the homecoming date. Should I?
