…
(Johnny's POV)
"Come on mom," I whined. "We've been studying for hours."
"Not until I'm sure you understand the material," she told me sternly.
This was probably the most boring weekend ever. After I showed my parents my quiz grade they completely flipped out. They immediately put me on lockdown and insisted that I should take this weekend to study. All day yesterday they quizzed me on every single detail they could find about Shakespeare. When we were done I literally fell into bed.
Now it was Sunday and they still weren't letting up on me. This was starting to get a little ridiculous because it just feels like we're going in circles.
I put the book on my lap aside and lay down on the couch with a groan.
"We've been doing this all morning," I complained to her as she just watched me on the chair she was sitting in.
"You have to get this now Johnny," she stressed to me. "If you fall behind this early in the semester you'll never catch up. "English is an important subject no one can afford to slack in."
She did have a point, but still. "I feel like my brain is going to explode," I looked to her with pleading eyes. "Can't we just take a little break?"
She stared into my eyes for a moment before letting you a sigh. I let out the breath I was holding as she closed the book in her hands and stood up.
"You get a couple hours and then it's back to work understood?"
I nodded happily.
Mom smiled at me briefly. "Good, I'll go make us something to eat." And with that she went into the kitchen.
"Finally." Flipping on the television, I hoped to relax and salvage what's left of this weekend.
(DING DONG)
Unfortunately, the world didn't want me to.
"Johnny, honey, can you get that," I heard my mom ask from the kitchen.
I rolled my eyes. "Fine," I called out.
I mumbled to myself with every step I took to the door.
"The minute I start relaxing and enjoying myself I get stopped"
I wasn't even paying attention as I opened the door.
"I swear sometimes I think God really…"
"Hi Johnny," I heard Ponyboy say to me sweetly.
I looked up to see the object of my affection staring me straight in the eye.
"…loves me," I said shockingly to myself.
Ponyboy furrowed his brow at me. "Loves you? What are talking about?"
"Huh," I snapped myself out of my daze. "I wasn't, I didn't, oh never mind it wasn't important."
He blinked at me innocently before shrugging it off. "Okay."
"So, um, what are you doing here," I asked him leaning on the door.
He took out an English book from his backpack. "I want to help you with your studying," he grinned at me. "I figured that you were bored and lonely. So I was hoping that your parents would let me stay so you can get some help studying and not be bored out your mind while doing it."
I inwardly sighed at him lovingly.
You're so compassionate Pony. I swear I'm falling harder for you every minute. I looked down as a blush made it onto my cheeks. When I looked down I noticed something very important.
I'M IN MY PJ'S!
"Oh fuck," I cried out. I slammed the door shut and ran up to my room.
I practically flew into my room trying to find something decent to wear. I was going through all my clothes but nothing seemed right to me.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, no, fuck, fuck, fuck, no, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, YES!"
I finally found a good pair of jeans and shirt. I put them on hastily.
I heard my mom come in my room. "Johnny what is going on," I heard her ask curiously. "First I hear you slam the door, and now I hear you cussing up a storm."
"Nothing mom I'm just," I froze as I just realized what she just said. "Slam the door?"
"Oh fuck," I groaned and took off in a stride toward the door.
"Watch your mouth young man," mom told me, but I all but ignored her.
Why am I so stupid? Why does this have to happen to me?
I flung the door open. I saw Ponyboy still standing there (thank god) looking very confused and just a little bit hurt.
"I am so sorry Pony." I took him by the arm in lead him into the house.
"Why did you that," he asked me curiously.
Why is he asking me this?
"Because I had to change," I pointed out obviously.
He just looked me up and down. "Change? Change what," he asked me obliviously.
What did he mean "change what"?
"I was in my pj's," I practically shrieked to him. He then looked at me wide eyed before covering his mouth to conceal his laughter.
"You were," he giggled. "I didn't notice."
This caused him to into a massive giggling fit.
Great, just freaking great. I tried to avoid embarrassing myself only to embarrass myself.
Did I mention I hate life today?
"Johnny?" I saw my mom looking at us from the stairs. "Who is this?"
"Oh," I just remember my manners. "Mom this is Ponyboy, Ponyboy this is mom."
"Ponyboy, Ponyboy," it seemed like mom remember the name but just couldn't place it anywhere. "Have we met before dear?"
Ponyboy looked down at his feet. "I was there when you moved away," he reminder her shyly.
Mom tapped herself on the head. "Of course, how could I forget you? You were that sweet little boy that couldn't stop crying."
I grinned as I saw Pony blush cutely.
"You're here to see Johnny," her gazed turned apologetic. "I'm sorry honey, but Johnny has a lot of studying to do if he wants to do well in English."
"He's here to help me," I insisted. "He's was the one that help me on Friday."
I saw her give me a doubtful look.
"He's really smart mom." I looked at him admirably. "He even skipped a grade."
Mom's eyebrows rose at my words. She looked between the two of us briefly.
"Alright he can stay," I had to restrain myself from smiling in joy "just as long as you're focusing on your work."
"Deal, come one Pony," I started to guide him to my room.
I opened the door to my room and froze as I took in the state it was in. I forgot about the mess I made when I was looking for something to wear.
I felt Pony slid from behind me and enter my room. He looked around with a smile on his face, surprisingly.
"Wow, your room is almost as messy as mine," he exclaimed. He sat down on the bed. "You ready?"
I just smiled and nodded at him. "Sure."
We spent the next hour looking over some of the material I was a little shady with. I was glad he was here. Studying with Pony never got boring.
All of a sudden a loud blaring noise came from outside.
"What's that," my head snapped up at the noise.
"Sounds like sirens," Ponyboy moved to the window to try to see what was happening.
"Curly," Pony cried out suddenly.
Curly? As in the boy Dallas beat up?
I saw Ponyboy waving his hand to who I assume was Curly.
"Um, Ponyboy what are you…"
I was silenced by shock as said hood crawled into my room through the window.
"What now," I groaned and stood up.
Ponyboy moved to help the other up. "You alright Curly?"
The hood snorted. "Don't you worry about me babe. I'm a fighter," he grinned at Pony.
Babe? Where the hell does he get off calling Pony "babe"?
He then turned to look at me with a blank look on his face. "Long to no see Cade."
I wasn't surprised that he knew me (or a least recognized me). Word gets around fast in Tulsa. But that wasn't the point right now.
"Pony he can't stay here," I told my crush urgently.
If my mom finds out he in here she'll flip out.
"Don't get your panties in a bunch Cade," he waved me off. "Be cool and let me stay until the heat dies down."
"You don't want him to get arrested do you Johnny," I heard Pony ask me meekly.
I couldn't help but growl inwardly at the smug grin Curly gave me. I swear, does everyone in this know I have a thing for Pony?
"I guess," I mumbled.
I melted at the smile Pony gave me. "Thanks Johnny. So Curly what did you do this time?"
He feigned a hurt look. "I'm hurt babe. Why do you assume I did something? I could be a victim of circumstance for all you know."
Both us gave him a blank look.
He rolled his eyes. "Alright fine. I went to store to but some smokes, and I mean actually buy them with my own money. I went up to the counter to pay for them and the guy tells me they doubled the prices for my fuckin smokes. Bullshit! They didn't even warn me."
"But there's a sign outside the store," Ponyboy tried to tell him
"No a single word of warning," Curly shook his head in disgust. "So anyway I got pissed and stole some of those expensive cigars they always got behind the counter." He reached in his pocket and pulled them out. "That asshole called the cops on me and here I am."
I looked at him blankly as Ponyboy just laughed at him.
Ponyboy calmed down quick and gazed at Curly. "How come I haven't seen you around lately Curly?"
I saw him look around nervously. "You know me babe, I'm always busy."
I snorted at him. Yeah you were busy alright, busy running from Dallas.
"I missed you Curly," Pony replied softly.
Wait? Missed as friend or something more? I looked between the two of them in confusion. Does Pony have feelings for Curly?
I saw Curly take Pony's hand in his and grip it tightly. "I missed you too babe," he told Pony staring into his eyes. "You know I was helping you out before Winston was."
I'm getting a little scared now. Do these two have something together?
Just then, I heard my mom pounding at my door.
"Johnny what's going on in there? I'm hearing voices. I told you, you need to be studying!"
I could hear Pony and Curly snickering at me.
Great.
"Oh fuck," I groaned to myself. "It's nothing mom. Everything's fine."
Luckily, she stopped banging on my door. "Alright Johnny."
Oh thank god.
"I heard you cussing again. What did I tell you young man? Knock it off with the fucking."
As Pony and Curly's snickering got louder I could do nothing but bang my head against the wall.
This was just not my day.
