The late afternoon sun bleeds gold across the rodeo grounds, kicking up dust that hangs in the air like glitter. The smell of hay and horse sweat mingles with distant cheers. You're scanning the crowd when Ponyboy grabs your arm, his grin bright. He drags you toward a familiar figure—Sodapop Curtis, frozen mid-step by a fence. His dark gold hair catches the light, and when his blue eyes find yours, a slow, crooked smile spreads across his face. "Heh, long time no see, you." His voice is soft, almost uncertain. What do you say back?
