ೃ⁀➷ MEETING THE GREASERS *ੈ✩‧₊˚

Juliette found it hard to keep suppress her feelings for ponyboy because as the days grew on the more and more her feelings began to grow for the boy.

She stared at him in class, at the library, and even just at the hill, and all she wanted was to be held in his arms and not have a worry about anything else. And she knew all to well that it was never going to happen or there was a slim chance of it even occurring.

The week went by pretty slow and was the same normal routine, and she enjoyed it. The time from when she very first met ponyboy was already nearly 7 weeks ago and she was already developing a massive crush on him.

Friday rolled around and her nerves were through the roof, because today was the day she would finally meet the other greasers or "The gang" as Ponyboy calls them. He assured her that they weren't that bad besides Dally, which didnt really help her nerves a whole lot.

School finally ended as she met with Ponyboy outside of the school, "you ready?" He asked she looked towards him and swallowed her spit, "yeah i think" she answered him as he smiled a little bit.

"I promise you they are not that bad, besides we'll just hangout in my room" he assured her as she turned to look at him, "okay" she nodded as the butterfly's in her stomach fluttered, they were nearing the north side of town which made her feel even more queasy.

"Were almost there" Ponyboy spoke up as he lit a cigarette, she nodded slowly as looked towards him. He motioned the cigarette to her as she reluctantly agreed, maybe it would calm her nerves down.

"Wow your being a risk taker today" he teased and handed her the cigarette, "oh shut up" she laughed as she took a drag and exhaled the smoke while coughing a bit. "How do you do that?" She asked in between small coughs. "I dunno my lungs are used to it" he replied as she handed him the cigarette back.

They soon neared the Curtis house as she took a deep breath and exhaled, laughs and yells could be heard from inside the house as she glanced to Ponyboy. Her house was never this lively like ever even with company over.

They walked up the steps and Ponyboy opened the door as everyone whipped their heads to look at the two entertaining the house. Darry smiled as Dally scoffed at Ponyboy bringing a soc to the house.

Eyes stared at her as picked her cuticles as Ponyboy cleared his throat, "guys this is Juliette" he introduced her as she smiled a little, "you can call me julie though" she spoke up as the boys nodded their head. "Anyways that's Darry, soda, Johnny, Dally, Steve, and Two-Bit" Ponyboy pointed to all of the boys as she nodded her head slowly.

"Pony talks about ya a lot" Two-Bit teased as Ponyboy turned crimson along with Juliette, "oh shut it" Darry scolded as he glared at Two-Bit, "anyways its very nice meeting you Julie" Darry smiled as she smiled back too, "its nice meeting you too" she replied as Ponyboy cleared his throat again.

"Anyways were going to my room because we have to study" Ponyboy announced as the boys smirked to each other which made Julie cringe at the sight of it. Ponyboy led the way to his room which he assumingely shared with Sodapop.

"Sorry about them" Ponyboy apologized as her cheeks flushed, "oh no its good" she assured as she smiled and nodded. Ponyboys room was pretty simple there was a desk, a bed, and a dresser and that was pretty much it besides the random posters sprinkled throughout the room.

"Do you understand the math homework?" She asked confused as he nodded his head, "yeah" he answered as she looked to him confused, "its so easy!" He exclaimed as she gaped her mouth open at him in shock. "Its not!" She defended as he laughed at her.

"Do you need help?" He asked her as she looked to him embarrassed, "yes" she mumbled as he smiled, "dont worry ill help you" he laughed as she smiled at him. "Really?!" She hugged him as he stood there stunned for a second but soon wrapped his arms around her.

"Then you bring that over" He explained as she raised a eyebrow at him confused, "huh?" She asked confused as he sighed. "Okay lets start from the beginning" He explained as she nodded her head slowly as she followed his thorough explanation.

She glanced up to look at his face, and she never realized how gorgeous he was. She studied his features and zoned out what he was saying, "you good Julie?" He asked snapping her out of her train of thought, "yeah yeah im fine" She assured as he nodded his head slowly.

"Do you know what i just said?" He asked as she looked at him with her cheeks growing red, "no not really" she let out a low laugh as he rolled his eyes, "i give up" he sighed exasperated as she laughed.

"Sorry, i have a low attention span for math" she laughed as he smiled, "its alright" he replied as she sighed and used her arms as a pillow. "Can you do my math homework?" She pleaded as he gaped his mouth open, "please" she begged as he rolled his eyes. "I guess" he replied as her face lit up.

"Your so nice" she smiled as he laughed, "i know" he replied cockily as she giggled and looked out his window with the sun beginning to set, "i should probably head home soon" she told him as he looked up at her and nodded. "Yeah just let me finish this up real quick" he told Julie as she nodded her head and began picking her cuticles.

"Hey stop doing that" he scolded her as she looked up at him, "why?" She asked stubbornly as he sighed. "Julie look at your nails" he told as she looked down to her nails. He was right some cuticles were bleeding and some weren't but they looked like they hurt

"Its just a habbit" she defended as he looked to her, "here" he finished the math and handed it to her. She hugged him tightly as his arms wrapped around her waist, she melted into his touch and wanted to stay in his arms forever.

"Can you walk me?" She asked as she let go of him as he nodded his head, "yeah of course" he told her as she smiled. Her cheeks were beginning to turn a rosey color as she nodded her head and walked out of the room
