I can't believe that I have to go to school on my birthday!!! I wish I was just cuddling with my boyfriend ponyboy and watching movies!!! But no my parents just had to make me come to school!!! The school day is almost over and I still haven't seen ponyboy anywhere!!! Where is he?? He never misses school!! Is he okay?? I haven't been able to focus at all today I've been so worried about ponyboy! Finally the bell chimes to signify that it's the end of the day and I rush out of school. I run as fast as I can towards the Curtis house and as I'm running I look up. The sky is getting dark and it's going to rain soon, I smile widely. I always loved the rain, it makes me happy and calms me down when I'm angry. All of a sudden I hear voices coming from the lot, I hide behind a tree and listen. "So do you think Ariel will like it??" I hear a familiar voice say "yeah she'll-" just then I accidentally step on a branch and snap it in half. Ponyboy and the gang peer at me from around the tree and I look around nonchalantly. "Oh heyyy guys, pshhhh I didn't see you there!! Watcha doin??" They all look at me with an eyebrow raised, a trick they all picked up from Twobit, and ponyboy comes over and hugs me "you know you are a terrible liar my little mermaid!!" I feel my cheeks heat up as the guys laugh at his little nickname for me. He grabs me and pulls me around to the other side of the tree. I look and see the most beautiful picnic ever with candles all around it. I look at ponyboy and hug him tightly!! "I love it I love it I love it!! Thank you SOOO much!!!" He laughs and I kiss him on the cheek then I go around and hug everyone else. "Sorry I wasn't at school, it took a while to plan this and set it up!!" Ponyboy says and I smile even bigger and kiss him on the lips. The gang hoots and hollers when all of a sudden it starts to rain. Ponyboy and I start laughing while still kissing each other and we hear Twobit scream "NOOOOOO!!!" I laugh even harder and look at all of them "thank you guys so much this is the best birthday ever!!! It makes it even better that its raining!!!"
“Hmmm… Merry Christmas.” You mumble.
“I got all of Danny’s presents under the tree.” He says, snuggling down into the bed a little more.
“Did you remember the football?” You ask.
“Yeah, I remembered that. It’s the best gift.” He smiles. “He’ll love it.”
“Yeah…” You mumble.
“Before you fall back asleep, I have a present for you.” He whispers to you.
“Mhmm?”
He leans over you, showing you a black box.
You open it, to see the most beautiful necklace.
“It was my mom’s.” he mutters. “I thought you’d like it.”
“I love it.”
“Merry Christmas, honey.”
