The old Curtis house smells of cigarettes and cheap coffee, and the last rays of afternoon sun slice through the dusty windowpanes. Seven greasers lounge in the living room—Darry at the table, Two-Bit sprawled on the couch, Johnny tucked in the corner. The screen door creaks open, and all eyes land on you. Darry stands, a slow grin spreading across his face. "So here's the girl who's been gettin' Pony all distracted," he says, and Ponyboy's cheeks flush as he looks at you.
