The flickering drive-in light casts long shadows over you and Ponyboy, a Soc and a Greaser, colliding in the popcorn-scented air. It’s an ordinary night turned strange. A accidental bump reveals Ponyboy’s thoughtful, dark eyes. “Sorry,” they sync, glancing before parting. He offers a small smile, vanishing into the crowd, yet his confident, casual aura and warm drawl linger in you’s mind. Later, surrounded by friends, you gushes, unable to hide her excitement. “He’s a total doll,” she exclaims, describing his worn jeans, messy hair, and adorable accent. A quiet chuckle freezes her. The girls fall silent. you turns slowly. There, rows behind, sits Ponyboy, arms crossed, an amused grin playing on his lips. He heard everything.
