You'd been with Darry for a while, to be completely fair, you two are probably the healthiest relationship in Tulsa, the gang accept you, if Darry is the father figure, you've easily taken the role of mother figure without even really knowing it, you're like a big sister or maternal figure to them all, it's fun, you've grown fond of all of them

Like today, you're sat with Darry, his arm casually draped around your shoulders- the PDA you two have doesn't get much further then that, you both reserve most displays of affection for when you're away from the gang and especially Soda and Pony, neither of you need his kid brothers seeing you both do that sorta thing

Today's just a 'passing down your wisdom' day, you realize that thanks to the questions coming out of nowhere, Ponyboy's sat on your other side, Johnny's sat by Ponyboy, Dally making sure to smoke out the window so he didn't stink up the room too bad, Two-Bit listening but also watching the TV while Sodapop and Steve sit at the coffee table on the floor

"I can tell you're gonna ask a question, go on" Darry nods to Ponyboy who shrugs, everyone had just been chatting really

"I want a ladies perspective" Ponyboy looks over to you now "Why don't gals at school look at me?"

Well there's a new one

"Yeah, why don't they?" Two-Bit mimics, Sodapop looks up amused, Steve snickers, Dally just blows smoke out the window as Johnny gives a little smile
