Summary
The gas station was busy with the usual afternoon rush. Soda was manning the pumps, so Steve went to the register and rang up candy bars, pops, and whatever other after-school snacks the hoard of kids surrounding them wanted. Johnny grabbed a bottle of Pepsi and a stool, took a seat beside Steve, and watched.

The last time Steve and Soda see Johnny.

Tex McCormick Catches His First Fish by neufer
Fandoms: Tex - S. E. Hinton, Tex (Movie 1982)

Summary
The spot they picked had plenty of room for the three of them. Pop started to show Tex what to do, while Mason moved to where his line wouldn’t get tangled with Tex’s. He didn’t pay much attention to them and just let his mind focus on nothing except for what he was doing.
But then after a few minutes, after Tex had successfully cast his line by himself three times, Pop picked up his pole and tackle box and the gunny sack to keep the fish in and started walking. And that sure caught Mason’s attention.
-
Tex's first time fishing doesn't go the way Mason thought it would, so he does what he can to make it better.

The Tattoo Craze of April 1964 by neufer

Summary
Steve knew Soda was trying to cheer him up, but he just sighed and looked back down at his arm. He thought it was stupid because he didn’t know why he’d gotten so upset in the first place. He should’ve been able to handle anything from his dad, no matter how cruel. He should’ve been used to it.
And he wasn’t sure that his dad would even be that mad about the tattoo. He started to convince himself that the old man wouldn’t even care, or maybe wouldn’t even notice. It didn’t matter. It was pointless.
-
Steve's in a bad mood after getting his tattoo, but being around his friends helps.

Summary
“Hey Mama?”
She paused for a second, eyeing him. “Yeah, Soda baby?” He seemed more serious than he had been just a second before.
“You think I should play football when I get bigger? Like Darry?”
She’d only lifted the can an inch or two off the ground, but she set it back down immediately, trying not to seem thrown off by his question. “Well, do you think you might want to?”
“I don’t know.” He scratched at the side of his head, not looking at her. “Maybe I should since Darry does.”

Summary
From the time he’d been fourteen and just a kid who didn’t know much -at least about the things people told him mattered- the only thing Soda truly loved doing was riding in rodeos. He still loves it now, two months shy of twenty, despite the knee sprain at fifteen that took a month to heal. He still loves it, even though lots of people told him he would burn out at the young age of sixteen, going out on the road on the weekends the summer after his parents died.
Now, he gives it a couple of weeks after getting back to Tulsa before he starts to follow the circuit again, this time with a hole in his leg that makes it a little more achy than before and his own set of dog tags that he wears with his daddy’s from Korea.
