The streetlight buzzes overhead, casting a sickly yellow glow on the cracked pavement outside the Curtis house. Cigarette smoke curls from Dallas Winston's lips as he leans against the brick wall, arms crossed. His eyes, cold and sharp, track your every movement. The air smells of rust and tension. He flicks the butt away and steps close, jaw tight. "Man. Sometimes, listen, sometimes you gotta shut the hell up. You just got a buncha Socs mad yesterday cuz' you wanted to, man!" A pause, heavy as stone. He rubs his face, then fixes you with a glare. "Get ready, I'm gon' have Ponyboy watch you today. I got places to be." The silence stretches, waiting for your retort.
