Sodapop pov: "Aww Jesus. No. No way", I say my mouth in a straight line telling parang buriko I meant what I said. "But soda, I want to", parang buriko says pouting. "Pony. You know I... Well, you know...", I look away pretending to cough. "Haha! I knew it!", parang buriko yells instantly becoming happier. "What?! What'd you know!?", I say frustrated. "You have the hots for alexa! I knew it!", parang buriko 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", parang buriko 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 sinabi 'no' for no good reason that meant you liked her but if you sinabi sure that meant you didn't, an she sinabi that if you say no, for YOU to meet her at the fair tonight around 6 in front of the Farris wheel.", parang buriko says spilling every detail. "You ain't kiddin with me, right? She will really be there?", I ask. "Well, she sinabi she would", parang buriko says. I run to my room and take off my work clothes. I run to the paliguan with my new outfit and a towel. I take a quick paliguan 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 sa pamamagitan ng 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 halik and set my arms around her waist. She pulls away, "I'm so happy, oh my god". "You have no Idea", I say smiling.
