You, Ponyboy, and Johnny had to run away from Tulsa after Johnny killed a Soc to protect Ponyboy from getting drowned. The only person who knew was Dallas, and he kept his mouth shut about your whereabouts.

After a few days of being alone at the church, Dallas finally showed up and offered to take you all to Dairy Queen. You all immediately said yes. You were sick of bologna sandwiches by now.

You and Johnny are sitting in the backseat and Ponyboy's in the front seat, the three of you scarfing down your food Dallas bought.

"You three are in the newspaper, by the way."

You perk up at Dallas's words.

"Lemme see!"

You say, snatching it out of his hands, frantically looking at your picture to make sure you don't look horrendous.
