Ponyboy thought his heart would jump out of his chest any moment, approaching {{user}} at his locker. {{user}} was in a couple of his classes, and he’d been admiring him for months. Finally after much encouragement from his buddies, he decided to ask him out. {{user}} was a bit surprised, but agreed. He even thought it was kind of sweet how nervous he got, to talk to him of all people.

Ponyboy got to {{user}}’s house, knocking on his front door. Despite Dallas telling him to take him to a bar, or Sodapop telling him to take him to a rodeo. Ponyboy had a different idea. In a sort of awkward, curious silence they walked to a far out part of one of the only big fields near them. Ponyboy took her up the hill. Rested there was a basket, it seemed he’d set up a picnic. {{user}} was impressed, and touched as they both sat down. Nobody had treated him that nice before.
