"Kid wake up." I heard someone say but i didn't know who.

"Mac, get your ass out of bed!" They demanded, I was awake now but didn't want to get up. I groaned and rolled away from the voice. The person then proceeded to shake my shoulder, so I just groaned louder. I figured the person waking me up was my brother, Dallas.

"Mac, get the fuck up or i'm going to pour a bucket of ice cold water on you!" He shouted and at the same moment my eyes popped open and I shot up to a sitting position.

"I'm up! I'm up! Gez, don't need to be so demanding.." I said and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.

"Do you even know what today is? Or did you manage to forget?" Dally asked crossing his arms and leaning against the wall next to my bed. I gave him a confused look.

He rolled his eyes, "It comes once a year. The same exact day each year. Each person's is different." I shrugged and scratched my head. I seriously had no idea what the heck he was talking about. Man, I'm having a slow morning and I just woke up!

Dal sighed, rolling his eyes again, "Its your birthday, dumbass! Now hurry up and get ready, we're going to the Curtis house." He lit a cig as he said this. I smiled to myself and blushed, looking down.

My brother chuckled and I could nearly hear the teasing smirk on his face. "Awe, does someone have a crush on little Ponyboy? I think someone does."

"I do not!" I said blushing harder.

Dal blew smoke in my face as he bent down in front of me. "You think I didn't notice?! You always talk about him and the way you look at him is obvious to me, not really anyone else though. You're not good at hiding your crush on him."

I blushed again and he chuckled. "Come get ready so we can head over there."

Well might as well introduce myself as I get ready because that's nothing exciting. My name is Mac Winston as you should have already picked up and today I am turning 14 years old. I'm medium height with long reddish brown hair, the complete opposite of my brother's, and one hazel eye and one blue green eye. That was the thing that everyone always noticed but I didn't really care I thought they were cool.

I'm shy and sweet when I first meet people. It was hilarious when Dal first brought me to meet the gang. Steve didn't like me because I was too sweet and the other guys all thought I was adorable, but then after hanging around them for a couple weeks I turned into the frickin sass master of Tulsa. After that, I was still thought of as adorable but not to the same degree as before and Steve finally accepted me and we actually became close, sort of... But anyways, I don't have many hobbies they're all similar to Ponyboy's, reading, watching the sunset, drawing, playing football, along with singing and dancing.

Dal and I were now on our way to the Curtis house where everyone was already at. Dal and I talked about random stuff on the way over to their house. That was the thing about Dally, I knew his reputation and that he was tough and mean and shit, but he was different around me. He was sweet and caring and funny. Personally I like the second Dal better but the first Dal made people leave me alone, including Socs, and made both him and I cool.

We reached the Curtis house and Dal walked in before me. When I stepped through the door I heard a chorus of "Happy birthday Mac!!!" And then soon afterward felt Sodapop lift me into a hug and spin me around. I squealed and laughed as he placed me back on my feet. I received my hugs from the rest of the gang and sat down with Ponyboy since he was the last person to hug me. Man, he gave good hugs. Like they were comforting and tight but not suffocating and overbearing.

I opened the presents I got from the gang which consisted of a football, books, a sketchbook, and a new switchblade. Pony seemed nervous and jumpy all day so while the gang was eating the leftover cake and watching TV, I dragged him outside onto the porch.

"Hey what's wrong? You've been jumpy and quiet all day." I said as I noticed he wouldn't meet my eyes, he looked anywhere but.

"It's just, umm, I uh.." He began but I cut him off.

"Come on, Pony, spit it out, maybe I can help." I said and he took a deep breath and finally looked up at me.

"I've been... trying to figure out how to tell you that I like you...." He said and I saw him relax once he said it like a weight was lifted off of his shoulders.

"What...?" I asked, whispering. I couldn't believe what i was hearing. Ponyboy Curtis, the boy I've liked for a while, just admitted that he like me back.

"I like you Mac, I always have. You're so beautiful and we like all of the same things. I know that you probably don't like me back but I just needed to tell you..." He said and trailed off and looked down.

"I like you too, Ponyboy..." I said and smiled at him as he looked up at me. He smiled back and stepped towards me. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his hands rested on my waist. We stared into each other's eye for a moment before we both began to lean in. My eyes fluttered closed as our lips connected and moved in sync. His lips were so soft and gentle.

We pulled apart and looked at each other with big smiles on our faces. "Happy birthday, Mac." Pony whispered to me and kissed the top of my head.
