Don't forget to remember me
18 years. He just turned 18 today. His brothers can't believe it. His parents would have been proud if they'd been there. Pony was turning off towards the exit. Towards his home. Tulsa, Oklahoma. God, he hadn't been there since graduation about 6 months ago. That seemed like a lifetime ago to him. His brothers, Sodapop, yes that's his real name, and Darry, are real proud of him. Soda, as everyone calls him, works at the DX gas station. He's 20 years old. His other brother Darry works at a construction company full time. He's only 23 years old. Pony doesn't know what he'd do without them. There are also his friends who are just like family. Keith "two-bit" Matthews is the joker of the gang and he really cares for beers and blondes. He's about 22 years old. Dallas Winston "Dally" is in the cooler, but when he gets out in about a week, he'll be glad to see Pony. He's about 21. Pony and Johnny are the gangs' pets basically. Johnny is pony's best friend. He's about 20 years old. Steve Randall is Soda's best friend; he works with him and is the same age as soda. These people are what the Curtis' consider brothers. All of them. Ponyboy Curtis has everything going for him, all A's in his college classes, possibly a new girlfriend, and he has the gang. What he's worried about now is that letter he received in the mail. It's from the United States of America. Ponyboy Curtis is being drafted.
