Darry, 22, his old serious self. Was carrying the crappy Christmas tree into the living and put it in the corner. Sodapop, 17, was carrying two big red plastic boxes and set them on the coffee table. Soda was making little snarky comments at Darry for how he put the tree up, and kept saying it wasn’t straight. Ponyboy, 14, was cleaning up the needles from the tree and laughed at some of the comments Soda was making.
