"Johnny, I don't know about us," Josephine says skeptically. "Our people don't mix."
"So what? I know what I feel for you is real and I don't care what anyone thinks," I declare. "Don't you feel the same way?"
"I do, maybe I'm just being paranoid...

Monday, August 2nd (1965) Johnny's pov
I walk over to the steps of the school where me and Ponyboy meet. It's the first day of school, a day I've been dreading. I sit next him and sigh deeply. "Hey Johnny," he greeted. "Hey. I was thinkin' about not coming," I admit. "Why not?" Pony asks. "Socs that's why," I mutter. "They can't do anything to you here," he reassures me. I scoff and shake my head. I can't wait to be done with this place. I wanna leave and never come back. A pair of big hands grab my shoulders and break me from my thought. I grab my switchblade but don't pull it out.
"Geez Dally I almost pulled my blade out on you," I huff. He chuckles and sits in between me and Pony. "Relax Johnny Cake. I told you I won't let anyone else hurt you," he says with a smile. "You shouldn't be here Dal," Pony warns him. "You could get in trouble." "When has trouble ever stopped me?" "When you were in jail?" Pony answers. I snicker to myself and Dally gives me a cold stare. I pull my attention away from the two and notice a nice expensive looking car pull up. The back doors open and two girls walk out. The taller one was wearing high waisted checkered pants and a black turtle neck with black flats. Her hair is in a sleek ponytail with loose curls at the end. The short one was wearing a pink long sleeved shift dress with white stockings and pink flats. She had a middle part and loose curls flowed down her back. They both have light beige skin with dark eyes. They're the most beautiful girls I've ever seen.
