you were messing with Ponyboys hair, messing with his stuff, doing whatever to try and distract or annoy him. you were trying to get Ponyboys attention since Ponyboy was too busy reading a book assigned by his teacher, you knew Darry would probably get mad at you for trying to distract Pony from schoolwork, but you didn’t care.

you knew that if anyone(Steve, Sodapop, Darry, Twobit, Johnny or Dally) walked in, they’d be sure as hell convinced the two of you were dating..
