《4》

Thomas teased me the whole time at lunch. It didn't bother me that much anymore.

After school, I waited for ponyboy.

"Sorry, I was talking with a teacher" he apologized. 

"It's okay," I said and started walking towards my house.

People in town don't care about socs and greasers anymore, ever since the incident a few years ago.

I wanted to ask him if he was one of the boys that had helped, but I don't knows if it's a sensitive topic to talk about, so I  didn't.

We walked in uncomfortable silence halfway there, but he decided to break it.

"So?"

I glanced his way, "so?"

"You live far?" He asked.

"Uh, not really" I answered, he just nodded.

I knew he was trying to make conversation, but I'm not very good at that.

Once we made it home, I walked in to say hi to my mom.

"Hola, ma (hi mom) " I said kissing her cheek.

"Hola, hija" she greeted back.

"como te fue hoy (how'd it go today)" she asked.

"Bien, (good)" I answered.

"Tengo que trabajar con alguien para un proyecto, así que estaré en mi cuatro" (I have to work with someone for a project, so I'm gonna be in my room), I told her.

"Espera, Quiero ver quiénes son (wait, I want to see who they are)" she insisted.

She went to the front door, where my ponyboy was, she was somewhat shocked at the sight of him.

"Es nino (it's a boy)" she muttered.

I nodded.

She then smiled sweetly, "I'm lupita" she tried in English.

"Uh, ponyboy," he said giving his hand out for her to shake.

She gladly shook it.

Before we left she, turned around.

"Puerta abierta, (door open)" she demanded.

I nodded and went into the room.

"I didn't know you spoke Spanish," he told me.

"Yeah, I like to surprise people I guess" I joked, putting some of my stuff away.

I sat on my bed along with pony.

"Well, where do we start"

《☆》

We already finished half the project and decided to get a snack, I left pony in my room, letting him do the work, while I got a snack.

I looked at the cabinets, we haven't gone to the grocery store, so we only had lays chips.

I grabbed two bags and brought them to my room.

When I entered my room, I saw him next to my drawer running his fingers through the desk.

He turned around when he heard the door open, "oh, sorry" he said moving away from the desk.

"It's fine," I said and threw him the bag.

"Who's that guy in the picture" he asked pointing towards the picture of my dad.

"Oh, that's my dad," I said plopping a chip into my mouth.

"Oh" is all he said, he looked confused for a second.

We continued to work on our project.

《☆》

"Hey, do you wanna go to that new restaurant," he asked.

I looked up at him.

"Uh I don't know, I have to ask my mom," I said.

He nodded.

《☆》

I asked my mom, and make sure she didn't make lots of food since I'm gonna eat at the diner.

"Bye Ma, te amo! "

"Me too!" She replied.

I closed the door and walked over to ponyboy.

"So, what do you like to do?" I asked him, as we walked.

"Well, I like to read, and watch sunsets" he answered.

"I like to read too, what kind of books do you like," I said going in front of him and walking backwards.

"Uh, I like gone with the wind a lot" he answered.

I saw his face fall a little for a moment.

"You okay?," I asked softly.

He nodded with an 'mhm'.

"You?" He asked.

"Well, I like romance books or books like a little woman" I answered.

"I've heard of that book before, never read it though"

"You should" I smiled at him.
