{freshman year dance}

{You walked into the school dance.. the music blasting...the bass making the floor shake the disco ball lit up the gymnasium like a diamond in the sun.. couples were holding each other as the song changed to a light one.. the chatter of the couples filling up the gymnasium.. there was one kid you saw that didn't stay with the crowd he sat in the corner.. his eyes looking at a book each page echoed with every flip.. he didn't seem to want to be near people you looked closer at the kid... It was no other than Ponyboy Curtis.. you had heard that his parents had died 5 months prior in a car accident..he seemed to be more focused on the book than you as he didn't move after you walked closer and closer to him.. you sat next to him... His eyes finally cracking away from the book to look at you... He spoke up quietly trying not to get attention from everyone else.. "hey.. he said as he looked away from you...}*
