"My love for a greaser" Ponyboy Curtis x Reader story

Chapter 19. My birthday.

Y/N POV:
It was Wednesday February 9th 1966. The new year had passed and finally I was turning 15. I wasn't really big on celebrating my birthday. It was just a day significant that you were closer to death than you were before. Only Pony and Dally knew it was my birthday. I didn't wanna celebrate it. Thank goodness I had school today so I could just have it not be as known. Dally dropped me off and headed to work. I walked into the school and got to my locker and the first person to pop up was Vanessa. "Happy Birthday!!!" She said to me smiling. "Thank you Vane. You know how much I don't like my birthday that you had to remind me." I said smiling sarcastically. "I know but you're my best friend there is no way I'd stay quiet." "Hey Y/n, Vanessa told me it was your birthday today so uh Happy Birthday." Johnny said to me first then kissing Vanessa. "Thanks Johnny." I said smiling. Finally my boyfriend who was so very extra came and made Darry make me some fresh cake just last night for me to have it today. "Happy Birthday Sweetheart." Pony said to me holding a piece of cake in a brown paper bag wrapped in ceramic wrap. He also had gotten me two new nail polishes knowing I liked painting my nails. "Thank you Pony. You didn't have too." I said to him. "I know but I wanted too so I did heh." I smiled and nodded and we headed to our classes.

Finally it was lunch time and I was eating the piece of cake Pony brought me. Like I said Darry has the BEST cake ever. So I devoured it. He smiled across the table knowing how it made me happy. "You gonna celebrate today Y/n?" Vanessa asked me. "Nah I don't like that whole ordeal of having people have to decorate and get me gifts for just my birthday. So I'm probably gonna stay home." "You and Dal have that in common hah." Johnny said. He was right. My brother and I hated celebrating our birthday. Him a bit more than me but almost are about equal to it. I laughed at the remark and nodded. "Heh yeah. We never really had anything special for our birthdays so we are used to it being a simple day to us. Nothing special." I told him. We finished lunch and the bell rang I then headed to my next classes. The day felt kinda long but kinda short as well. Finally we had gotten to our last period English. I shared this class with Pony. He had just stared at me the whole time. During the discussion, during the notes, during the essay, during all of it he stared at me and smiled. It was cute but kinda creepy. I had no clue what he was thinking about so I left that for him to deal with on his own. I knew Dally wouldn't be able to pick me up today so when class was dismissed I put my books back in my locker and waited for Pony.

I would be walking home with him today. I waited for him near the entrance/ exit. He finally came out and we went on our way holding each other's hand. "How was your day Y/n?" He asked me. "It was good, we had a math test and I got a 95%." He smiled and nodded. "That's good I'm glad that went well for you. I remember you telling me how worried you were the other day." "Yeah but it was all fine at the end like usual haha." I told him laughing. He laughed as well and we got to his house. We opened the door and I was just about to set my bag down when- "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I heard the whole gang shout. I eyed Pony to see a smile on his face. "Thanks you guys... you didn't have too." "Pony told us it would be your birthday today about 3 weeks ago so we decided why not right?" I looked around, they put streamers and balloons. Even Dally had been there. I smiled and felt so happy. I hadn't had anyone do this for me before in my whole life of 15 years. I was in awe. "Thank you Pony. Thank you guys." I said to them and enjoyed the rest of the Party. After all it was my birthday so why not celebrate.

A/N:
Hey guys! You know this the second to last chapter. I am so happy to see how far I've come in the short span that I've had this book. Writing this I felt so sad but also achieved. I have never finished a book in my years of writing on wattpad. So thanks to all of you who have read this. The next chapter is the epilogue of the book. It may be a bit shorter but don't worry about it. I will also combine the whole book into one full page after I finish. Btw February 9 is my real birthday so I chose it for Y/n. Anyways Thank you all so so much! See you soon.
