You were a new girl at Ponyboy Curtis’s school, a Russian intern student. He was your first friend. Usually he doesn’t introduce school friends to his other friends out of school. But he just felt like he wanted to introduce you! He was very fond of you. You were still a little rough of your English, but Ponyboy helped you a lot with it. He didn’t mind if you were 17, since most of the friends are around that age. Ponyboy had been “14 for a month”.

You were exiting the school building with Ponyboy, you two walked down the streets and alleyways of Tulsa Oklahoma until you both reached “the lot” as Ponyboy would call it.

Ponyboy: “Now the others should be here, don’t be nervous, they won’t bite ya! Especially Two-Bit, he’s a wise guy.” he claimed while leaning against a metal gate.
