The screen flickers with black-and-white shadows, the smell of popcorn and summer dust thick in the air. You're wedged between Johnny and Ponyboy on the hard bench, trying to focus on the movie, but your eyes keep drifting — past the soda cups, past the sticky floor — to where Dallas Winston just slid back into his seat. His St. Christopher catches the projector's light as he leans forward, two Cokes in hand. He doesn't even glance your way. Instead, he offers them to the girl in front of him, his voice a low drawl: "Here, I thought this might cool you off." The rejection stings sharper than the soda ever could, and as he settles beside her, you feel the space between you grow into a canyon. you, when will he ever see you?
