Chapter 1
(Ponyboys pov)
I was barely awake when Johnny had yelled to get off the train. I unconsciously lept out. The moment I came into contact with the wet ground was when I became aware of my surroundings. The bright and early morning was shining above the hills, glistening shades of yellow, orange, and the blue sky itself. It felt ephemeral. I guess this is what Windrixville is like.
I stood up and noticed I got green on my jeans. Great. Darry is going to kill me if I ever see him again. I turned to see Johnny, rubbing his legs like his life depends on it. The outline of his greasy black hair looked red with the sunrise beaming onto him. His eyes and hair made him look softer than he actually was. He's a bit cute though.
"Damn it Pony! My legs fallen asleep from you sleepin on em." He said sternly. It sounded more mad than stern though. His jeans were also stained green, mainly his fat ASS.(satire okay)
"I'm sorry Johnny. I thought I would've woken up before arriving." I rubbed my eyes fully awake. Johnny looked taken aback and turned his head away. He realized he raised his voice, something he doesn't do too often.
"Nah I'm sorry man, I didn't wanna wake you up while you slept. You looked so peaceful." I felt warm hearing Johnny say I looked peaceful in my sleep. It tempted me to continue sleeping with him by my side, but I couldn't. I never really thought about how I look when I sleep. It's something so random to hear.. meaning Johnny was watching me sleep!!
"Johnny why are you lookin at me sleep?" I chuckled. Johnny gave me a nasty, but funny look. He was a little red. Must've been pure embarrassment. I walked over to him and asked if we should continue finding the church. He said yeah with a smile. I helped Johnny up and we interlocked eyes for a brief second before pulling away.
...
We traveled through some soft, hard, wet, and dry land. Alongside finding unfamiliar animals on the way. Johnny even asked me to ask some old guy with a piece of hay in his mouth for where to find Jay Mountain. And all because I look like a farm boy. (Not cool Johnny). As we went on, I couldn't help but notice the amount of space the countryside had. It doesn't seem like anybody could find us. "How different is it going to be?" I thought.
Finally, we wouldnt be afaid of socs. Finally, we'll get to have some quiet. Finally, it'll be me and Johnny. Plus our friendship to keep eachother company. A nice moment with Johnny is all I want..
