~December 10th 1965~

Tays P.O.V

It was now Friday, TGIF! Ew no. Anyway, it was now Friday, and Johnny was getting out of the hospital today. Ponyboy and I stepped onto the bus, I went to sit in my usual spot, which was two seats behind were Ponyboy and his loud group of friends sat. Surprisingly Ponyboy came and sat next to me. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow he shrugged as the bus started, moving down the street.

"What's up ladies" One guy that Ponyboy hangs out hollered. Everyone else on the bus groaned "So I have this buddy, Ponyboy, and I just wanted to say, he needs a date to the Dance. Now if you look over" he gestured to where we were sitting "He may already have scored a hot chick, but I call dibs on her, so if any other hot young broad wants to-" he fell backwards as the bus suddenly stopped and everybody erupted in laughter. I put my head in my hands out of embarrassment. That day the kid asked me out to the Dance, I learned his name was Jamie and he seemed like a pretty nice guy. I told Maddison, and we planned to go dress shopping on Saturday, she was still looking for a date

After school, Ponyboy and I were walking home, we knew Johnny would already be at the Curtis household when we returned, I felt my heart racing, and my hands were starting to sweat, why are you nervous Murphy, Why? "You okay, you look like your gonna be sick," Ponyboy said

"Yeah, I'm fine, Just scared" I sighed.

"Something happened between you and Johnny?" he asked.

"Yeah, you could say that," I said

"You know he cares about you, like a lot. Yesterday he told me what happened between you two at the hospital and he thought he was stupid he just. look the point is he's probably going to apologise so just give him a chance, okay?"

"He tell you to say that?" I asked he laughed

"Maybe," he said dragging out that the m sound "You'll never know" I stumbled laughing, then wrapped my arm around his neck and ruffled his air, "Hey, no fair" he pushed me off him "Oh man now you've messed up hair."

"Suck it up greaser" I mocked, Pushing open the cold metal gate, he playfully shoved me "Oi."

"Suck it up 2003," he said in a high pitched tone I caught up to him as he pushed open the door, Two-Bit and Dally were sitting talking loudly, and Johnny was sitting in the corner. "Hey Guys, Hey Johnny" Johnny looked up smiled, Ponyboy went and sat next to Two-Bit who whispered something to Ponyboy, Ponyboy shook his head and muttered something back. Two-Bit then looked at me and then shook his head dismissively. I shrugged and went up to the room, sitting at the desk and pulling out textbooks. I heard the trapdoor creak open I turned around to see Johnny standing behind me, I gasped.
