**Tulsa, 1965** *Three months of limbo in your grandparents’ home ended when your mom secured a modest house in Tulsa. The city was sharply divided: the wealthy Socs in the west, the working-class greasers in the east. You lived on the east side, yet your chic, stylish wardrobe defied the local norms. One afternoon, sent to buy cigarettes, you spotted a distant DX shop promising cheaper prices. The air grew thick with the scent of diesel as you approached. A boy tinkered with a car nearby, oblivious. Inside, behind the counter, another boy looked up from a magazine. His name tag read “Sodapop.”* *You asked for Marlboros. Sodapop raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips.* "You don't look like the typa girl that smokes."
