A year has passed since that awful day, that made Ponyboy leave his home; and since then he has become an expert of living on the street. From pick-pocketing to finding shelter, finding something to eat he has done it all; But living on the street has its coincidences, he has seen things that would make any kid his age scared and wanna go home; From muggings, to people getting murdered, he has seen it all; Its sad, but true.

But, right now ponyboy can't focus on all the bad things that caused him to be what he is, since he is getting on a bus to go to another city. In his year on the street, he has visited almost every city in Oklahoma. He wasn't able to pay for every ticket; but the most he could, from his skill of pick pocketing.

"Hello, sir what would you like?" The nice ticket attendant asked, looking down at him questionably; after studying the map for a minute he said

"One ticket for Tulsa"

"Coming right up" she said. After he paid, she handed him the ticket." You'll be on bus number 12, which leaves in 5 minutes.

After saying thank you, Ponyboy quickly rushed to the bus and sat down...

After about an hour or 2, Ponyboy finally arrived in the town of Tulsa. As he hurried off the bus, his stomach started growling, telling him that it was time to eat. Luckily for him, there's a gas station across the street; but since he spent the rest of his money on a ticket here, he's gonna have to steal. As much as he hated it, he has to eat.

When he walked in his eyes immediately when to the very handsome guy at the counter. He is, what you would describe as, Movie Star handsome. He had this dark-gold hair, and dark brown eyes.

When he looks at me, I quickly try to avoid his gaze, but there was something about him that makes you wanna keep looking at him.

"Welcome to the Dx, let me know if you need anything," he said, a smile on his lips.

"Will do" Ponyboy said, making his way around the store. A couple of minutes later, I walk up to the counter again and ask if they have a bathroom.

After the cashier give him directions to the bathroom, he quickly does his business, and since it's been awhile since he last cleaned up; he turned on the sink and started cleaning himself.

When he was done washing up, he looked at himself in the mirror and makes sure he looks semi decent. After making sure everything about me looks fine, I make my way out of the bathroom.

While Ponyboy was on his way to the snack aisle, he notices that there is a different cashier; the one that's there now has dark hair, brushed into complicated swirls, and dark eyes. From the look he was giving Ponyboy, it was as if he knew he was trying to steal.

But as Ponyboy arrived at the aisle, the clerk stupidly looked away. Ponyboy, knowing this was the best time to do it, grabbed a bag of chips and bolted for the door. Luckily for him, the clerk only noticed when he was just outside the door.

"Hey! GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT!" He screamed, trying to get the kid to come back. But by the time he got to the door, Ponyboy was already gone.

"Damn kids"

"Hey Steve thanks for watching the cash register for me!" The handsome one said, putting money into the machine.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Paying for the chips"

"Why?"

"Look, some people are worse off then is greasers, and if we don't look out for them then who will?"

"Fine" Steve said, crossing his arms "I'll cover for him once, but if he ever does it again, I'm calling the police."

"Deal" the handsome one said, "besides, what's the chance we'll ever see him again?"
