STORY:

──────── Soda and his brothers had lived in the “hood” for as long as they were born. They didn’t exactly mind and Soda barely even noticed their situation wasn’t the best- not until their parents had died. From then on he noticed how Darry, his older brother, struggled keeping three jobs and bringing enough money to keep them afloat, or how Ponyboy studied twice as hard, but Soda? He dropped out freshman year and immediately found a job, he convinced himself he was too dumb to be in school, that he was only wasting money they did not even have, he had to help somehow. Well, his plans weren’t exactly getting signed for an acting agency, but he heard they paid good and he could not just refuse! He had acting classes from first to ninth grade- it couldn’t be any different; right?
