This is kinda how I imagine it from the outside

Ponyboy had no idea where he was going, but he trusted her, kinda.

They were in some sort of forest, but you can see a town not so far away, there were bugs, and animals running.

"Hey Will, are you sure this is safe," he asked.

"Yeah why" she answered.

"No reason " he chuckled nervously.

They continued to walk until they saw a sort of house but in a tree. It had leaves and branches all around it.

"Common," she told ponyboy.

She grabbed his arm, he blushed a little, but she was unable to see.

She stopped walking at some stairs

"Will, to be honest, I don't think that's a good idea," he said.

"I've done it a bunch of times, you'll be fine" is all she said, before climbing up.

Once she climbed to the top, she waved over at ponyboy to join. He looked at her then at the stairs, then started climbing up.

His legs were kinda shaking, at the thought of him falling.

He was so busy trying not to die, that he hadn't even noticed that he had already made it to the top.

"Oh" is all he said.

Will stuck her hand out, and he gladly took it.

When he went inside, his eyes went wide.

There was a couch, chairs, books, the floors were wood, there was a cage, with who knows what inside, cabinets, and blankets.

"You did this," he asked will, pointing his fingers around.

"Well, not the house, I just decorated the inside" she explained.

"Why don't you decorate the outside," he asked.

"Because if someone finds it, they'll think its scary, and they won't wanna come in"

"Smart"

"Wanna eat something" she offered, opening the cabinets.

"Uh, no thank you," he said.

"So you go here a lot," he asked.

"When I wanna be alone"

"You can come here too if you want, brings a book, a snack, you know, just relax"

He nodded.

"Does anyone else know about this?" he asked, running his fingers on the couch.

"Yeah, Thomas does, but that's it"

"But you can't tell anyone about this, alright, no one" she demanded.

He just nodded.

"Sit down" she smiled.

He sat down awkwardly.

She walked up the cabinets, grabbed something, and threw it.

"There are sodas in that cooler right there" he informed him, pointing to a blue box in the corner.

He looked around and his eyes met a cage.

"What's that," he asked softly.

She turned to where he was looking.

"Oh, this is Delilah," she said opening it.

"Is that s snail?" asked.

"Yup"

"Some kids were gonna put salt on her, but I came right on time"

"Salt?" He asked.

"Uh, it harms the snails" is all she said, before putting it away.

"Anyway, you can also come here to do your homework if you want,"

"Thanks" he smiled at her.

"I gotta go, you gonna stay," she asked.

"I'll go with you" he smiled.
