*Ponyboy's Girlfriends, My Boyfriends*
i sat on my bed and Ponyboy took the stool i had been sitting on and sat on it. we stared at eachother. then a thought occurd. "did you ever like Cherry?" i asked him abruptly. he looked at me funny, then grinned alittle.
"well, ya. as a friend, i guess. i never gave it much thought," he said.
"you never liked her more than as a friend?" Pony looked at me and thought about it.
"no, not really. why?"
i blushed. "oh," i said. "well, people have been saying that you and her would be really good together, and theres this rumor that you two dated. i just wanted to know if it was true or not."
"oh." Pony looked confused. "well, its not true. we never dated. i never really liked her as more than a friend. but i dont know how she feels about me."
i pressed on. "what about Cathy Carlson?" i asked, even though i knew it was true...maybe.
Ponyboy looked at me alarmed. "how do you know about Cathy Carlson?!" i jumped off of my bed and grabbed another one of my S. E. Hinton books. i showed Ponyboy That was Then, This is Now. he took it from my hands and i sat back down.
"that," i said. "is the 'kind-of' sequel to The Outsiders, except its from a different point of view: Bryon Something, i forgot his last name. he dated Cathy and didnt like you. you remember him?"
"oh, yeah." Pony tossed the book onto my bed next to me. "i remember him. i was friends with his best friend Mark. Bryon never liked me. he thought i was stuck-up cause i thought i was good-looking, which i dont, and my whole family was concited. he had a problem. he was mad at me for callin Cathy up one night to see if she'd like to go out. but, yeah, i dated Cathy Carlson. it was only for about three or four months. it just wasnt working out so i broke up with her. why do you ask?"
"oh, just wondering. wasnt she your first girlfriend or somethin?" Ponyboy kinda blushed.
"yeah. it was a couple months ago. i also had another girlfrind, Jamie Nelson. i broke up with her about a month before i left for here. she was too loud and naggy and clingy."
"so you like girls now, huh?" i teased him. he smiled.
"yes," he said. "im not the same as i was when i was 14." i laughed and rolled my eyes.
"so what made Cathy different? ya know? since she was your first girlfriend." Ponyboy studied me and said, "i dont know. she just stood out from the crowd. she made me think, 'hey, im interested in girls now! Soda was right!' you dig?"
i nodded my head and laughed uneasily. truth be told, i didnt really like talking about his past girlfriends. it was uncomfortable and i was getting kinda jealous.
"so what about you, Amber? any past boyfriends?" i looked at him and smiled.
"three, actually. first was Ryan Tannett in 7th grade. he was a quiet, immature guy who was very violent. i didnt mind that he was quiet, i like quiet guys, but i cant stand immature ones and i dont like violence. i dont like fights. i believe fighting should only be used for self-defense. not fun or anything like that." Ponyboy's eyes lit up when i said fighting should only be used for self-defense. he kinda smiled and seemed as if he were remembering something. "then there was Kyle Irshramm in 8th grade. same thing as Ryan, 'cept he wasnt quiet; he was loud and obnoxious. ugh. then there was James Mitchcells, last year, freshman year. he was a lying cheater. made me cry for two whole nights cause i couldnt get over him cheating. so i just broke up with him." Pony had looked a little jealous when i talked about my old boyfriends, and i wondered why.
"he made you cry?" Ponyboy asked, a hint of anger in his voice. "well, that aint right. hell, if you were mine id treat you fair and right. no lying. no cheating. if i made you cry id be ashamed and never forgive myself. i hate to see girls cry and, even worse, make them cry. if you were mine, id stand and stay by you." i felt myself blush. i looked down at the floor and smiled. i know he would, i thought. if i were Ponyboy's he would treat me what he said, maybe even better. if he were mine id never let him go.
it was quiet for a couple of minutes. i didnt have much to say to what Pony said. so i just sat and thought while staring at the floor. i kept thinking about what he said. it was very sweet. it was so...Ponyboy. and i kept thinkin of his words: "if you were mine id stand and stay by you." but why would he say that? we hardly knew eachother...rite? atleast, it feels like we hardly know eachother...
"you think fighting should only be used for self-defense?" he asked, breaking into my thoughts. i looked up at him and nodded. he smiled. "i do to."
i nodded again. "i know," i said.

Seize upon that moment long ago
One breath away and there you will be
So young and carefree
Again you will see
That place in time...so gold
Steal away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather
Nothing can ever...and be in time
Stay gold
But can it be
When we can see
So vividly
A memory
And yes you say
So must the day
Too, fade away
And leave a ray of sun
So gold
Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
though not imagined
All things that happen
Will age too old
Though gold
One breath away and there you will be
So young and carefree
Again you will see
That place in time...so gold
Steal away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather
Nothing can ever...and be in time
Stay gold
But can it be
When we can see
So vividly
A memory
And yes you say
So must the day
Too, fade away
And leave a ray of sun
So gold
Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
though not imagined
All things that happen
Will age too old
Though gold
I walked into my science class in my new school. The only seat left open was next to another greaser. I sat down next to him and said
"hi, im allie."
he smiled at me and said "hi im PonyBoy"
i thought to myself; hey he has a nice smile. Hes kinda cute to.
Before I knew it, the bell rang. I packed up my stuff and started heading home. Then, i ran into Ponyboy and my stuff went flying everywhere.
He said "im so sorry" and helped me pick up my stuff. Our hands brushed slightly and i blushed. i think he might have blushed also.
ONE WEEK LATER:
as i headed to math class ponyboy stopped me and asked; "hey do you wanna study together sometime?"
It took me a second to respond, was he really asking me this?! I said "sure Ponyboy"
The END (To Next Chapter)
