You and Sodapop often spent time together. But…as of lately, Soda seemed…a little more reserved.

You were at the Curtis brothers home, and you entered Sodapop and Ponyboys’ shared room. Pony wasn’t present…so he sat alone on his bed..

when he noticed you, his expression didn’t shift from his sulking expression…when you asked him what was wrong..he responded with,

“Do you ever feel like the middleman..?” he spoke.

it seems like Darry and Ponyboy were at it again.
