LI sat in Advanced Literature and sighed out of boredom. I looked out the window but started doodling so the teacher thought I would be taking notes. I looked up and saw Ponyboy. He's just so cute it was hard to look away. When he turned around and saw me I felt my cheeks get hot and looked down as fast as I could. I drew his name in different fonts and drew little hearts around them. I was in the back corner so no one really saw me. I was going to walk out but turned the corner and ran into someone. PONYBOY.

"Hey, I'm so sorry. A-are you alright?" He asked me. I was in a little shock still so it took me a second to answer him.

"Y-yah I'm fine. Sorry that was my fault."

"Don't be." He grinned and stuck out his hand to help me back up. I grateful accepted it, but he was stronger than I had expected. I almost fell into him again, thank God that didn't happen.

"Here's your notebook." He handed it to me and I grabbed it from his hand looking at the floor the whole time.

"Thanks."

"Sure thing." I hurried out of there, grateful the day was over. I got home and leaned against the door in shock. I hugged my books to my chest and stood there for a second thinking about what had just happened minuets ago. I walked to my room to get my homework done when I realized something. I had Ponyboy's notebook. Which meant, he had my notebook and he could see all my drawings about him! I froze with fear trying to decide what to do. Wait till school on Monday to get it back, and risk him looking at it? Call him now and risk him seeing it? Going to his house and looking creepy and STILL risk him seeing it? Ughhh this stinks. I heard the phone ring and I went to go get it from the living room. No one was home or else I would of left it alone.

"Hello?"

"Hello. Who is this?"

"This is Ponyboy Curtis. Is this Tania y/l/n?"

"Yah. What're you calling for? I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude I just-"

"It's fine. I just wanted to tell you I accidentally gave you my notebook and that I have yours. Can I come over and trade our notebooks back?"

Shoot. He must of read the inside if he knew I had his book!

"Y-yah, sure."

"Ok, great. I'll be there in about 10 minuets."

"See ya then." When I hung up the phone I flung myself on the couch and screamed into a pillow muffling it all. I went upstairs to get his notebook and do what homework I could without it. I figured he had notes I could use, and hoped he wouldn't mind so I opened up his notebook to look for something. I was really confused when I saw my name drawn in the corner of the page. It had little hearts around it to....odd. I turned a few pages and it was the same thing, just bigger and more prominent. I smiled at grabbed the notebook heading towards the living room. I was going to sit on the couch and look through the rest of the stuff before he got there. I hope he wouldn't mind I looked through his stuff. After all, he would of had to look through my stuff to realize it wasn't his. I opened it up and a paper fell out.

"Well huh." If had my name on it and I got very curious. It was folded neatly and I carefully opened it.

Dear Tania,
I know I'll never get the guts to tell you this, but I really like you. A lot. I see you everyday and hate myself for not telling you. But I bet you'd never say yes if I asked you to go out with me. Who'd want to go out with me? Tania you're the most beautiful, smartest, kindest, most caring, and most understanding person I've ever met. I know we don't talk much but I'm just scared honestly. Scared you'd reject me. Tania you are so important to me, you're the reason I fell like going to school everyday. So I can see you and your beautiful smile. And how your eyes light up when you smile, and how perfect your hair is.

Love,
Ponyboy Curtis

I read it over and over again a few times. He liked me? Why? How long? Did he lose a bet? My thoughts were interrupted with the doorbell ringing. I got up and opened the door to see Pony. Had put everything how I found it in his notebook.

"So I uh-" we both started together. I smiled and gestured for him to go first.

"I uh, found your drawings. I hope your not mad."

"No, so long as you're not mad I went through your drawings to?" He grinned his lopsided grin and looked down at his feet. He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked very fascinated with his feet at the moment.

"I also kinda sorta read the letter you wrote to me..."

"Oh." His ears got red and he still wouldn't look at me.

"It was really sweet, I like it. And you."

"You like me back?!" He asked in shock. His jaw dropped and he looked at me in disbelief.

"How do I know you're not just messing with me?" I asked looking a little disappointed now.

I thought about it for a second before I stood on my toes and kissed him on the lips. He seemed surprised at first but kissed back after a few seconds. I had rested my hands on his shoulders while his went around my back.

"Believable enough?" I asked almost out of breath after we broke apart.

"More than enough." He grinned and kissed my forehead. That was just one of the many happy memories yet to be made with Pony.
