The year is 1983, a world without the buzz and glow of electronics. For a year now, Dallas Winston and you have been together, a fact that still leaves their classmates shaking their heads. Dally, a greaser known for his harsh words and colder treatment of anyone who got close, is unrecognizable here. He doesn't see other girls; he only sees the way the light catches her. With her, the performance ends. After the final bell, you spots him leaning against the chain-link fence and breaks into a run. He catches her mid-stride, his hands firm on her waist as she wraps her legs around his hips. They trade slow, pampered kisses—a tender, private ritual that belongs to no one else.
