21. The Karate Kid

"Hey guys! Took you long enough!" Dally exclaimed from the entrance of the movie house.

"Sorry, we were having a little talk." Johnny shrugged.

"About what?" Pony asked.

"Nothing much.." I replied.

"So are we gonna go in or what?" Dally asked without waiting for an answer. He was already under the fence and onto the other side of it.

"Go get some good seats! We'll be there in a few." Pony replied.

"Come quick." Dally said walking away.

"Where were you guys for so long?" Pony asked.

"We were at Dairy Queen." I smiled.

"Doing what?" He asked.

"Just talking." I asked grabbing Johnny's hand.

"What were you talking about?"

"No-" I tried saying.

"Why are you holding his hand?" He interrupted.

"I'm just-"

"Do you like him?" He interrogated, cutting me off again.

"YES!! Okay, yes I like him. I don't like Soda anymore, he already has a girl. I've been thinking about Johnny for so long now. So you have to deal with it." I replied.

"Johnny?" He asked for his opinion.

"I like her too." He said confidently.

"Let's go before Dally starts screaming at us. You love birds." Pony said chuckling as he snuck under the fence.

"You think our plan is gonna work?" Johnny whispered.

"Positive. We just gotta be around Soda more." I replied going under the fence. Pony helped me up.

"C'mon Johnny." I said.

"I'm comin'" He laughed following suite.

"I'm so excited for this movie." Pony said walking away as he tried to find Dally.

"Need help getting up?" I offered.

"Nah, I'm good." He said getting up and brushing some dirt.

We walked over to the seats Dally picked which were right in the front row. I saw some little kids sitting on the roof of a car down in the car section of the theatre.

"Hey Johnny, isn't that dangerous?" I asked.

"Yeah but don't worry, the parents are watching them." He replied. I shrugged and continued looking around.

A few minutes later, the movie is just starting.

"What's wrong with you, you don't like my singing?" The mom asked.

"I don't like the song." The boy replied.

"Oh." I started.

"My." Pony said.

"Lord." Dally finished as we looked at Johnny wide eyed.

"I-It isn't me." Johnny replied shocked as well.

"How can you guys look like the same person!?" I whisper shouted trying not to create a scene.

"I've never seen this guy in my life!" He exclaimed.

"Let's just keep watching..." Pony said.
