Summary
"Hey, Curls, what brings ya' here?" Ponyboy asks, a small smile across his face. I swallow hard and smile back, my bottom lip trembling slightly.
"Hey, Pony. I, well, um-" I pause, hissing through my teeth and squeezing my eyes shut.
"Jesus, man, what's the matter? You're sweatin' like a pig," Ponyboy says, looking me up and down. I swallow again, slowly removing my hand from the coat pocket, revealing my mangled finger.

Summary
In September, a few days after Ponyboy handed over one of his longer pieces, fifty something pages exploring the sacrifices you make for family, a story that ends with three siblings reconciling, Mr. Syme asked him to chat. And Ponyboy had sat, expecting to be handed back an annotated copy, one with so many notes about his run-on sentences.
And instead, he got handed a pamphlet. A few, actually.
“What are these?” he had said.
“Mr. Curtis,” Mr. Syme’s voice was light and casual sounding. “I was wondering if you have been doing any thinking about applying to colleges.”
“No.” Ponyboy didn’t have to think about it.
or
ponyboy gets into college and has a lot of big feelings about it

Summary
Darry folded the paper, not unkindly. “Just don’t hide it next time. You don’t gotta act tough with me, savvy?”
That was when the words almost slipped out – I love you.
He wanted to say it. He really did. But his throat closed up around them, the same way it always did.
Instead he said, “Thanks for comin’ to get me. I know – I know it ain’t easy. Sorry”
Darry just shrugged. “Don’t worry ‘bout it. Told Bill my kid was sick and he let me off with no fuss.”
Pony blinked at him.
And maybe Darry hadn’t meant to say that – my kid. Maybe he had. Either way, it settled over Pony like a warm blanket.
He didn’t say anything else.
Didn’t have to. They’d both already said it.
—
5 times Ponyboy couldn't bring himself to say I love you + the first time he did.
