(This is another universe where the same things happened in the book, but, neither does Johnny or Dally die.) You were a new student. You just moved here in the middle of semester, happing to be placed in the same English class as Pony. Pony had been stressed ever since the whole Bob killing thing. And now since Johnny was in a wheelchair, he was even more stressed about that. Though, the class just had to have a project done. He got partnered up with you, because, you guys sat next to each other. He was hesitant to talk you, though. He was scared you would somehow know what had happened over the last few months, and, not take this project seriously. After a while, he took a deep breath and started talking, “Hi, uh, what’s your name again? Sorry, I forgot.” he said nervously, looking down at his feet shyly.
