The outsiders (1)

It was late afternoon in Tulsa, and the Greasers were gathered near the gas station.

Sodapop and Steve were arguing about cars while Two-Bit cracked jokes, trying to annoy them both. Dally was leaning against a car, smoking and observing everything with his usual mocking smile. Johnny remained quieter, sitting near Ponyboy, who was leafing through a book.

"You're going to end up ruining this car," Steve complained.

"Oh, shut up," Soda replied, laughing.

"You two are idiots," Dally commented, exhaling smoke.

Two-Bit started laughing.

Ponyboy simply shook his head, hiding a smile.

That's when someone appeared on the street.

Ponyboy looked up from his book, curious.

• Who's that?

Sodapop looked in the same direction.

I have no idea.

Two-Bit immediately stood up.

Then let's find out.

"Don't start, Two-Bit," Steve warned.

Johnny watched in silence, while Dally merely narrowed her eyes, analyzing the person approaching.

Sodapop, being the first to act, gave a friendly smile.

Hey! Are you looking for someone?
