Johnny And I Were Goofing Around In The Mall Like We Always Do. We Were Basically Bouncing Off The Walls. We Pulled An All Nighter With 10 Cans Of Soda Each. (Which Makes Ur Stomach Feel Like It’s Gonna Puke) We Were Messing Around In Some Clothing Store, When I Saw This Girl. “Hey Johnny, Look At That Girl” I Said Pointing To The Girl Who Obviously Worked There. “Yeah, Pony? She’s Reading A Book?” He Said Confused. Honestly I Had No Idea Why She Caught My Eye But She Did. “I Say We Talk To Her.” I Said Walking Towards The Desk Where She Was Sitting. “If You Mean Flirt With Her, Im Out Pones.” He Said Not Moving. “I Never Said Flirt.” I Smiled At Him “I’ll Talk To Her By Myself If You Want.”
Johnny Continued To Bounce Off The Walls And Mess Up All The Clothing. Im Surprised None Of The Works Cleaned It Up, Or Told Him 2 Stop. “Hey.” I Said To The Girl. “Are You Ready To Check Out?” She Said Looking Up From The Book. “No,” I Laughed A Little “What Book Are You Reading?” “Oh, Umm” She Turned To The Cover That Read ‘Death Is Not The Answer’ She Told Me The Title And The Author Just Incase I Couldn’t Read. “I’ve Read That Book For School Last Year.” I Said. “That Must Mean Your Graduating This Year?” She Said “What School?” “Tulsa High. What About You?” She Finally Smiled “Me Too. My Name Is Amber Olivia Knight. Lots Of People Call Me Olive Or Just Amber” She Said “Ponyboy Curtis. Pony For Short.” “I Know Who You Are; I Was In Your Math Class.” Then I Remembered Who She Was. She Was A Lot Like Darry. She Was A Greaser, But She Was A Head Cheerleader And Had A Lot Of Socs Friends. She Was Very Smart But She Refused To Skip A Grade. We Talked A Bit Longer; It Was A Thursday Afternoon So It Wasn’t Busy. “When Do You Get Off Work?” I Asked “I Have A Boyfriend, Robbie Kay.” Robbie Was The Schools Best Football Player. He Was Close Friends with Bob and There’s No Doubt In My Mind That He Helps Him Jump Greasers. “Not Like A Date.” I Replied, “Johnny And I Are Going To The Movies Later. Maybe You Could Come. As Friends.” I Pointed To Johnny Who Was Passed Out On The Floor. She Laughed “Sure, I Get Off Work At 5. We Can Go Around Six.” “Okay, Good Deal.” I Said. She Wrote Her Number On My Hand And I Pulled Johnny Out Of The Store. “Come On Johnny Lets Get Some Muffins Inside Ur Stomach.” He Just Groaned
