    Summary

    Darry didn’t know what had happened. One second, he was arguing with Ponyboy from opposite sides of the kitchen table. The next second, Pony was in his face yelling at him. And the next, his hand was in the air, stinging, as Pony’s head crashed to the side.
    Darry doesn’t think he’ll ever forget the look on Pony’s face as he turned back to look at Darry for a second before turning around and bolting straight out of the house.

    Summary

    “Are you okay, Ace?”
    “Can we talk?” Ace’s voice didn’t sound like her own. It sounded scared and nervous. That’s not how her voice ever sounds.
    “Yeah, come ‘ere. Sit down. Is everything alright?”
    “Darry, what’s wrong with me?”

    Summary

    “Look at all the coins in here.” The two boys’ eyes scanned across the bottom of the fountain, taking in the piles of coins that littered the stone.
    Pony shrugged. “Well, you know. People got a lot of stuff to wish for in Tulsa.”

    Summary

    It was just past 5 am when Paul Holden arrived back in Tulsa.
    He didn’t want to believe that Bob could be dead. He hadn’t even been away at school for that long, only a couple of weeks.
    He had only left his boys alone for a couple of weeks; now one of them was dead.

    Summary

    There were certain things the members of the Will Rogers Football Team had come to expect. If they won a game, Darry would be the first one Paul congratulated. If Darry needed to throw the ball, Paul would be the first player he looked towards to see if he was open. If anyone mentioned that Darry had a varsity jacket he surely could not afford, Paul would be threatening them to shut up and making sure to get in an extra hit at their head during practice. And if Darry came to a party after one of their games, Paul would be going back to his own house with Darry rather than continuing to drink with the rest of his friends.

    Summary

    "Oh well, guess I’m solo tonight.”
    “You could always join me and Cherry!”
    “I mean, if you don’t mind driving me, I can be outta your hair as soon as we get there.” Ace seemed to relax as she said this, gesturing with her hand as she spoke.
    “Don't be ridiculous, you can totally join us and sit with us. We really don’t mind."
    “Yeah, okay. Why not.”

    Summary

    “You’re gonna teach me how to slow dance?” His words were accompanied by a scoff.
    But Paul didn’t let that dampen his determination and he just gave Darry a shit-eating grin. “Yup. I’ll even be the girl.”
    Darry couldn’t help the joke that escaped his lips. “Wow, for me?”
    Paul laughed. “Yeah. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I wouldn’t do this for just anyone.”

    Summary

    "My mom has an open-door policy. The front door stays unlocked at all times so that if anyone ever needs a place to sleep for the night, they can just come in, crash on the couch.”
    “Really? Isn’t that like, unsafe? Considering the side of town you live on.” Chet saw the wince from Darry when he spoke but he wasn’t saying anything other than the truth.
    “Well, in the side of town I live on,” The boy started, emphasizing the phrase Chet had just used, “it’s common for kids to get kicked out by their parents and spend the night on the ground outside. So, a couch is better than nothing.”
    Chet had simply nodded and thought nothing more of this conversation.
    Until now. Because without even realizing it, his feet had brought him to the Curtis house.
