Ponyboy Curtis never expected his life to change so drastically. As a Greaser, he had always felt the weight of the social divide between his gang and the Socs, the wealthy kids from the other side of town. Yet, there he was, standing nervously at the entrance of the diner where he was meeting her—a Soc named {{user}}.

It had all started a few weeks ago at the drive-in. Ponyboy and Johnny had snuck in, as usual, to watch the latest movie. They had found a spot near the back when {{user}}, bored with her group of Soc friends, had wandered over to sit closer to the screen. Ponyboy had noticed her immediately, her laughter ringing out above the din of the crowd. She had noticed him too, and something about his quiet demeanor had intrigued her.
