Chapter 1: iPad kids
Summary:
The gang has a lot of iPad kids??
Notes:
Hey! This is just a stress reliever. No schedule. Just whatever I feel like writing. Kind of a floating time period.
This was rotting away in my google drive for a solid month or so so I just cleaned it up and decided to post, since I love gc fic and we lack them in our fabulous fandom! Only posted bc I read the other gc fics recently and decided I wanted to contribute
Whenever someone is added to a group, the names are from whoever created the group!
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Darry: I told him to put it on curly’s phone too. He loves it
Darry: I’m not changing a thing
Chapter 3: Chocolate Vape
Summary:
Pony gets his hands on a vape but it doesn’t last too long
Notes:
The way it’s basically canon that Pony would vape is actually so funny to me
Also the reach this fic has gotten is actually insane it became one of my top 5 most subbed fics the day after I posted it that’s insane. Thank you all so much! Thank you for all the kudos and comments guys (I feel like such a giddy ego manic rn)
And to the other chatfic authors: hi! I’ve read your fics they’re really cool!
Final note is that when two are direct messaging, the names are what they call each other (so if Steve is Stupid in Pony’s phone and Steve has Pony as Idiot then their chat is [Idiot and Stupid])
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Notes:
Guys I don’t vape but I know a couple people who do so I know a little and I did surface level research since yk it’s not like anyone is described vaping
If you want to suggest an idea, or maybe see more of this or other fics, or maybe just yap (I’m desperate for people to talk to abt The Outsiders), you can find me on my tumblr or insta (@pop_tartcat)
Chapter 4: Golf Unit
Summary:
Ponyboy has a golf unit. Johnny is really good at it
Notes:
The golf brainrot… it consumes me
Jk golf is hard. I’m on my school’s team and we’re in season. I’ve been so busy it’s actually part of why I started this lol. If my poor school has a tennis, badminton, volleyball, basketball, and pickleball unit, they can have a golf unit.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

[Golf]

[Golf]
2:12PM
Dreamer: Remind me what the difference is between these clubs
Golfer: the big long ones with the bigger heads are either drivers, woods, or hybrids. drivers are the biggest and used for teeing off/drives. woods are used for drives and fairways. hybrids are for drives and fairways. the ones that look like the ones on tv are irons. they’re used for drives, fairways and chips. putters are for putting on the green.
Dreamer: What
Dal: just swing the damn thing
[The Curtis Gang]

[The Curtis Gang]
3:14PM
Johnnycakes: on our way back
Soda: ooo what’d you shoot?
Johnnycakes: I shot a 44
Two-Bit: 🤯🤯🤯
Darry: Jesus Christ
Steve: what about dally?
Dally: 56
Soda: hbu pony
Pony: …84
Steve: did y’all not play double par pickup?
Pony: What?
Steve: did you even pay attention to the class?
Pony: No…
Johnnycakes: We should play a scramble next time
Pony: A what?
Dally: i’m not teaching him
Two-Bit: I WILL✋✋
Darry: Lord have mercy
Steve: goodbye glass. goodbye neck
Soda: where’s the neckbrace!?
Notes:
I gave Johnny a 44 bc I got a 44 at my last match during a scramble (a scramble is when there’s a team of people who hit a ball and then they pick their favorite and hit from there and repeat until they get to the end) This may also end up being a 2-parter!
