I felt hot tears stream down my face. I turned around to face the rest of the gang. They looked at me disappointed. Pony, Sandy and Soda looked at me with pity. I gulped and walked to my room. I began crying more as I took some clothes and headed to my bathroom and changed. I crawled in bed. Darry has the right to call me all those words. That's what I am. That's what I did. That's what women that do this get called. I began getting hungry but didn't have the strength to go out. I eventually ended up falling asleep.

When I woke up, it was night. "How long was I asleep for?" I asked myself I heard someone walking up the stairs. My door oppened revealing Ponyboy. "Oh! You're awake!" He said happily. "Yeah, what's up?" I asked as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. "I just snuck out and made sure you were okay. I came by a couple times earlier but you were asleep." He said. I slightly smiled. "I'm sorry about what Darry said earlier." He said breaking the silence. "It's fine. I deserved it anyway. Just know all I did was dance." I said. "You don't have to feel ashamed, I still love you" he added. I blushed.

"So, I was wondering if you wanted to hangout?" He asked. "Yes, I would love to. When?" I asked. "Actually. I have a plan. Get in the shower, wear comfy clothes and I'll do the rest." He said excitedly. "Is Ponyboy Curtis gonna surprise me?" I questioned. "Yes ma'am" He answered. I did as he said and got into the shower. He said comfy clothes so I had picked out some soft loose shorts and and cropped tank too with my beaten up converse. I washed my hair and my body. When I got out, I changed into my clothes and brushed my teeth. When I walked out, it was pretty dark.

Pony was sitting on the couch. "Darry thinks I'm asleep at home." He whispered. "Ponyboy Michael Curtis, what are you doing?" I questioned as I crossed my arms. "You'll see" he smiled. He took my hand and led me outside to my car he oppened the door for me and then closed it once I got on. He turned the engine on. A small humming came from the radio. I looked at a small watch I had left there a few days ago. "It's midnight!" I said in shock. "Yes now relax." He said smoothly. "Are you gonna kidnap me!?" I questioned sarcastically. "Totally" he answered smiling. "I missed this. Us talking and laughing" I said.

"You know, I can't belive this year were 15, looks like making a wish go a shooting star really works" He smiled. "I'm happy. Now tell me, where are we going?" I asked. "It's a surprise!" He smiled. "Do I get a hint?" I asked. He hummed a 'nope' "Please!" I begged. "No!" He said laughing. "Ugh fine!" I smiled as I gave up. "You'll find out soon enough" He said. "Well now I'm excited even more!" I smiled.
