Johnny's POV

Today was the day of the dance. I had to pick up Angela and deal with a lecture from Tim until Dally told him to back off and dragged us away. Cherry just told Ponyboy to meet him at the dance. The little broad probably just don't wanna be seen walking in with him. It could ruin her "reputation" but fuck that. She doesn't deserve him.

But he likes me anyways, according to Steve. He doesn't seem to care. Dally is currently driving us to the dance. He was going too, but he was just gonna cause trouble. It's kind of awkward with the four of us in the car.

Angela has my arm linked with hers, and I'm practically being tugged towards her because she's reapplying her makeup for like the 20th time. Ponyboy keeps glancing at me and her. If only he knew how badly I wish it was him who I was linked arms with.

I have to tell him tonight. Before it's too late.

"Angela, man, how much make up are you gonna put on?" Oh my god. I wasn't gonna say anything but Dally sure did.

I heard Ponyboy snicker and Angela glared at them both, and then at me. I don't know what the hell she expected me to say, but I kept my mouth shut.

"Ugh. Can you just hurry up so I don't have to deal with your stupid ass anymore?" Oh man. That was a mistake. Dally smirked. I knew that smirk.

"Sure thing." Dally practically stomped down on the speed and the car took off at a faster pace. He was speeding so I hoped he wouldn't get pulled over.

Angela was screaming her head off, and it was piercing my ears but it was also funny. Girls sure do have high pitched screams. Ponyboy was just laughing, he wasn't scared like last time. I sure was, though. But that didn't stop me from admiring him.

He noticed me staring and blushed, before slightly smiling. I smiled back, and "accidentally" grabbed his hand. He paused for a second. I remembered he might be still mad at me because he probably thought I was playing with his feelings, and I was about to pull away. But then he grabbed it back. I couldn't believe it. I was holding hands with my crush.

I blushed harder and looked away. Angela didn't notice she didn't have me in her grip anymore. She was still screaming. Dally was getting a kick out of all this. He saw me and Pony holding hands and smirked. I'm honestly surprised we haven't got pulled over. He's not paying attention to the road and he doesn't have his hand on the steering wheel, and the idiot is speeding.

I ignore the obvious danger and look back at Ponyboy. He's looking at the window, probably admiring the colors of the sky. I smile at his beauty.

Maybe by the end of the night he'll be mine.

Ponyboys POV

Thanks to Dal's speeding we got to the dance a little early. There were a few people coming up. We knew Two-Bit would normally be here late but he was taking Marcia. He'd be on time for her. Cherry wasn't outside, thankfully. I don't know why she asked me to the dance if she's still ashamed to be seen with me in public.

Johnny held my hand in the car. I don't know why, maybe he was just scared. No, he's never done that before. I'm so confused. How does he feel about me? I wish he would just be honest. I want him to like me back. But maybe that's why he was holding my hand. It's so hard to tell. But yeah, when we were holding hands, it just felt so right. I almost forgot Angela was in the car.
