September 15th, 1965.

Ponyboy walked out of the movie theater. As usual, he went alone. Johnny was off who knows where, Dally too. Two-bit was probably flirting with some girls somewhere, and Sodapop and Darry was working.

He was used to it. Being alone, doing things alone. Its not that none of the gang disliked him, Ponyboy was just the youngest out of the gang, being 14 while everyone else was 16 or 17. He usually stayed to himself anyway, even with the gang.

That was until he met her.

When school started, it went how he expected it too. The rest of the gang had dropped out of school, leaving Ponyboy usually on his own, but then you walked in the class. He didn't know how it started, but eventually you two started talking. At first it was awkward conversations, or a strange tension. But the more you both talked, the more comfortable you both got. The teasing also increasing, mostly with Ponyboy starting to tease you a lot.
