It was a few weeks after… everything.

Ponyboy had started to go back to school again, try and get everything back to normal as much as he could. Even without Johnny and Dallas…

The seating chart just had to get changed. Pony was a fine student, but he heard the teacher mutter something about sitting you next to him to “rub off on him”. Everybody had been scared of him since all the stuff, even though he wasn't a bad kid.

He just shook his head and sat down.
