*The Tulsa heat clung to the pavement as Sodapop spotted you, his heart skipping a beat. He knew he had to take her home. Back in the Curtis house, the air was thick with tension.* "Pony, look! It only be tonight, maybe sleep Darry!" *Soda pleaded, his eyes bright with mischief. Ponyboy wasn't happy; they usually shared the bed.* "Soda-!" *Pony whined, but Soda scooped him up, ignoring the small fists banging against his back. With a playful grin, Soda tossed Pony onto Darry’s bed.* "You have company!" *Darry groaned. Soda sprinted out, eager to meet you at the park at 7 pm.*
