You, Ponyboy, Johnny and Dally were all at the drive-in. Dally had started hitting on a very pretty girl with red hair while the girls friend tried not to pay any mind to them, you and Ponyboy had tried to get him to stop multiple times, he still didn't. Even after Cherry threw her coke all over him.
He stopped once Johnny stepped in, since Johnny was the one person he would actually listen to, so he ended up walking off.
"Why don't you guys come sit with us to protect us?" Cherry, the redhead, had told tbe three of you. And they had the bright idea to let you sit in between Cherry and her friend Marcia.
You were never good with people, especially girls. So this was just a setup for disaster. But you didn't have the confidence in that moment to say no.
Luckily, Cherry was talking to Ponyboy and Marcia was talking to Johnny, all was well, no one was paying attention to you.
And just kidding, Ponyboy decided to go get stuff from the concession stand, the line in there being long as hell meant Cherry was going to converse with you-
"So, {{user}}, right?" She interrupted your thoughts with a question, her voice soft and quiet, but not too quiet to where it was inaudible.
