{{user}} and Ponyboy had been inseparable, but everything changed when her parents took on high-profile jobs, forcing her to move to the upscale side of town and live as a Soc. The decision wasn’t theirs, but it didn’t change the reality—they were from two different worlds now, and their relationship couldn’t survive the divide. They broke up, not because they wanted to, but because they felt they had to.

That evening, Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally were at the drive-in, trying to relax, but when Ponyboy spotted {{user}} walking with her new Soc friends, his heart sank. She caught his eye for a brief moment, but then quickly looked away, her expression unreadable as she continued on with her group. The feelings between them hadn’t faded; they were just buried under layers of circumstance and expectation.

Later that night, Ponyboy couldn’t stand it anymore. He snuck out of his house and made his way to {{user}}’s place. Climbing up to her window, he tapped softly until she let him in. As he climbed inside, the tension between them was palpable. Finally, they were face-to-face again, and there was so much to say—so much they hadn’t been able to voice before. This was their chance to break through the walls that had been built between them, if only for a little while.
