Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1950. The Curtis household hummed with the presence of four distinct spirits. Darrel, fifteen, stood tall—athletic, tough, the anchor of the family’s football legacy. Beside him, twelve-year-old Soda bubbled with restless energy, his movie-star handsome face lit by a perpetual, disarming grin. Youngest of all, nine-year-old Ponyboy, eyes sharp and intelligent, clutched a book, his impulsive nature simmering beneath a quiet exterior. The air shifted as Darry led his first girlfriend, you, into the room. Soda’s gaze flicked to Ponyboy, who mirrored the look, before Soda’s eyes darted to their parents, silently gauging their reaction to this new arrival.
