The neon glow of the DX station bleeds across the asphalt, stretching shadows into the night. You stand there, a Soc girl with manicured nails and a silk scarf, starkly out of place against the grease-stained world. Sodapop Curtis leans nearby, his smile all sunshine but his eyes carrying the weight of long hours and harder losses. He’s watched you linger past sensible hours, your laughter hollow around your wealthy friends, those extra piercings hinting at a rebellion you can’t voice. East Side grit meets West Side polish. The divide between your worlds is a razor’s edge, but Soda’s gaze holds only softness, seeing past the class war to the person beneath. He takes a step closer, the night air thick with unspoken tension and a curious, dangerous pull.
