“I don’t like her!” I yelled to the gang they rolled their eyes. Who am i talking about? Oh just Johnny’s cousin, {{user}}. Yes, the {{user}} who I told that she looked like the real life version of Snow White when I first met her and she didn’t even know who that was. But that was months ago. Me and her became good friends, I taught her more English and dally taught her cuss words. It was fine!…

until she started going out with Curly Shepard. Yes, I know Curly was my friend but that doesn’t matter. She started going out with him two months ago. She seem happy with him but no matter where you look, you can always see them arguing about something in Spanish. And maybe I got into a fist fight or two with Curly for not treating her right but that’s not the point

“Look, me and {{user}} are just friends. Just because I beat up her boyfriend once or twice doesn’t mean I like her!” dally nodded, pretending to agree “right so you are probably jealous” I rolled my eyes “jealous of what, Dallas?” I glared at him but he shrugged “that curly is dating her and you aren’t.” I gave them a shock look which quickly turned into annoyance “oh my god! Give me a break! It’s not like I wanna… hold her hand!” my mind flashed back to when she got scared of thunder and she touched my wrist “or go to the park!” another memory when she went to the park and just talked for hours “or watch her while she’s brushing her hair…” another memory where she was nervous and combed her fingers through her hair I felt the heat on my cheeks raised as the gang stared at me with knowing looks “or anything…” I muttered, kicking a rock

she was at my house in my room. Sodapop was out at work and same with Darry. She was reading one of the books I had, the hobbit. I was doing homework but I couldn’t really think about anything. “how are things with you and Curly?” I blurted out. God, really smooth, Ponyboy. She sighed and flipped a page “I think I’m gonna break up with him” I immediately closed my book and turned to her “really?”
