Sodapop pov: "Aww Jesus. No. No way", I say my mouth in a straight line telling pony I meant what I said. "But soda, I want to", pony says pouting. "Pony. You know I... Well, you know...", I look away pretending to cough. "Haha! I knew it!", pony yells instantly becoming happier. "What?! What'd you know!?", I say frustrated. "You have the hots for alexa! I knew it!", pony boy smiles. I look away and wipe at my face because of my sudden stress, "look. Pony, you tell anybody I'll have Darry skin ya". "She has the hots for you, too, ya know", pony says turning away and walking towards the door. "Wait, what?", I grab his arm and pull him back. "You heard me.", he says wrinkling his forehead. "How do you know?", I say raising an eyebrow. "She told me to ask you if we could go to the fair. She wanted me to do that to see what you would say and if you said 'no' for no good reason that meant you liked her but if you said sure that meant you didn't, an she said that if you say no, for YOU to meet her at the fair tonight around 6 in front of the Farris wheel.", pony says spilling every detail. "You ain't kiddin with me, right? She will really be there?", I ask. "Well, she said she would", Pony says. I run to my room and take off my work clothes. I run to the shower with my new outfit and a towel. I take a quick shower and get out. I dry off really quickly, then get dressed. I put on some cologne and deodorant. I dry my hair and grease it back. I look at the clock at it says 5:55 PM. "GAAAAAAHHHHH!", I yell as I grab my wallet, jump over the couch, an run out the door. I get there at 6:02 and walk to the Farris Wheel. I look around. Alexa is no where. I wait about 5 minutes. "Damnit. I knew it wasn't true.", I look down and shake my head in defeat. I blink back a few tears as I start to walk out. I get to the exit gates which are right by the entry gates. "I'm so stupid, I knew she didn't have the hots for ME. Sodapop Curtis, ain't nothin special here. No money, no folks, just a kid brother and an older brother. Damn", I look down while I walk. I run right into someone and catch them before they fall. "God, I'm sorry", I say picking up the bag she had dropped. "Soda? You really came?", I hear from above me. "Alexa? Oh god.", I sigh happily. "So you do like me, soda?", she asks biting her lip. "Well, uhh, yeah, I mean.. Yeah.", I look into her eyes. She smiles real big then grabs my face pulling it down to hers. I have to grab a rail so I don't fall, and then the fireworks start. I shuffle my feet while we kiss and set my arms around her waist. She pulls away, "I'm so happy, oh my god". "You have no Idea", I say smiling.
