আপনি stand with your বন্ধু in the corner of the school gym, all talking and laughing together. Today was graduation night, and even though আপনি didn't have a date, আপনি still went to the after party. Your বন্ধু all tease আপনি about Ponyboy, the guy আপনি have been deeply in প্রণয় with since freshman year. আপনি two were dating for the entire year, but ended up breaking it off just a couple nights ago. However, আপনি still loved him, and could not get over him. It was hard seeing him laugh with the other girls at the dance because আপনি wanted so badly to be the girls he was talking to. A slow song comes on, and আপনি grow sad inside thinking of all the times আপনি and Ponyboy danced together. আপনি can't handle it anymore, so আপনি decide to walk out into the hallway, only to get stopped দ্বারা loud shouts. "Pony! Come on!" আপনি hear Soda shout. আপনি hide behind the wall. "I know, I know, I'm just nervous." টাট্টু says back. "Nervous about what?" "I don't know.. That she will say no." টাট্টু says, sadly. "Look," Soda says. "I don't like her অথবা anything, but Bailey is so pretty, nice, and funny, and if আপনি don't man up and ask her for a সেকেন্ড chance, you're gonna loose her for good." Soda shouts. "I know she is. She's beautiful." টাট্টু states. "Do আপনি প্রণয় her?" Soda asks, now back to normal talking. "Of course! আরো than anything." টাট্টু says. আপনি put your hand over your mouth to keep from gasping, but it doesn't work. টাট্টু comes around the corner to see you, and turns best red. Your speechless, and so is he. "I-I-uh." He says. আপনি just stare at him. Then before আপনি know it, he's স্নেহ চুম্বন you. He smiles while breaking your lips apart while whispering "may I please have আপনি back. I প্রণয় আপনি so much." আপনি nod and mumble. "Of course."
Later that night, আপনি hear someone in the house. Thankfully Dally heard it too and he was wide awake. He quickley gets out of বিছানা as আপনি follow. আপনি creep down the hallway and peek around the corner.
"Go back to the room," He says as আপনি do what he instructed
আপনি sit on the bed,praying that everythings okay.
Soon, আপনি hear shots from a gun.
Then silence
With the money that I would have gone to college with, and with what Ponyboy had saved, we had bought Soda his horse.
Soda came in, in his plaid শার্ট and jeans. His jaw dropped. Then he smile brighter than the sun.
He walked over to horse.
“Hey buddy,” he says, smiling, petting his nose.
“It took forever to get him to listen,” Ponyboy said.
“Yeah, I got myself and ornery pony.” Soda grins.
“You happy?” আপনি ask Soda.
He just looks at you, smiles and nods his head.
“Yes. I am 100% serious.” He says, grinning.
“You’re joking.”
“No I’m not.” He laughs.
“Yes আপনি are.”
“Come on (Y/N).”
“Fine.” আপনি say.
আপনি take the বিয়ার from his hand and chug it down.
“There.. Are আপনি happy with my chugging skills?” আপনি ask.
আপনি had gotten tired of the New Years Party আপনি were at, so আপনি decided to have your own; complete with balloons, champagne, dancing, and the life of the party.
“This is fun,” আপনি laugh as আপনি look up to him.
“Yeah,” he laughs, as he dips you.
“Careful of the champagne, babe.”
“Sorry… Just trying to make things classy.” He laughs.
“You kidding me? This is some high class shit!” আপনি laugh.
He glances at the clock.
“It’s 11:59,” he grins.
“Time for our New Year’s kiss,” আপনি grin as আপনি lean in.
“Not yet!” He yells, moving your face away. “It isn’t midnight yet!”
আপনি laugh, then glance at the clock.
“Well, we missed it.” আপনি pout. “It’s 12:01.”
“Looks like we have to wait a whole nother year.”
He pauses for a second, thinking.
“You.” He finally answers, smiling.
“That’s not one thing.” আপনি roll your eyes and giggle.
“Yes it is. আপনি are you. Without certain things, আপনি wouldn’t be you. If you’re pretty eyes weren’t (eye color), আপনি wouldn’t be you. If আপনি didn’t snort when আপনি laugh, আপনি wouldn’t be you. If আপনি didn’t randomly burst into song, আপনি be you.
If আপনি weren’t nice and sweet and funny, it wouldn’t be (Y/N). The (Y/N) I know, প্রণয় and adore.” He smiles as he kisses আপনি on the cheek.
“Really?” আপনি ask.
“Really.”
“Really really?”
“Really really.”
“Johnny how do আপনি think this looks?” আপনি ask, holding up a black dress to you.
“How am I supposed to know?” He groans as he leans on one of the shelves of the department store.
“Well, would I look good in it?” আপনি ask, twirling the dress around.
“You’d look good in any clothes, honey.” He smiles at you.
“Any clothes?” আপনি ask, scrunching your nose.
“But আপনি also look good in no clothes, if that’s what আপনি want to know,” he grins at আপনি like a little kid. “So could আপনি hurry up so I could see my পছন্দ outfit on you?”
