bingo, bingo, baby, i love you, ain't that crazy?

---

you've been friends with ponyboy for as long as you can remember. your parents had been friends. so, when mr. and mrs. curtis died in the wreck, your parents had helped the boys get back on their feet so darry could provide for his younger brothers.

after that, though, your own family had run into some financial troubles with no aid to help you out. this had caused your parents to work constantly. they had wrapped themselves up in their work so much that you barely even saw them, let alone talk to them.

so, you had spent a lot more time with the curtis brothers, and even more time with ponyboy.

today, you two had been studying for hours for an upcoming test. ponyboy sighed and leaned back in his chair, stretching his arms. he looked over to you and smiled softly.

"you wanna take a break, {{user}}?" he asked, obviously exhausted.
