Chapter 2: Two-bit and Dally asked Pony and Johnny to join them at the drive-in, the Nightly Double. They jumped the fence instead of paying because Dally didn’t like to do things the legal way. They sat down behind two girls by the names of Cherry and Marcia. They were socs. Dally started flirting with them but it angered them. Pony and Johnny tried to stop him so he decided to go get all of them a coke. When he offered a coke to Cherry she said she wouldn’t drink it even if her life depended on it, so Dally left. Cherry and Marcia asked Johnny to come and sit with them. Later Two-bit came up behind Johnny and scared him but he sat with them. They decided to stay for the next movie so they could talk to Cherry and Marcia. ​ Chapter 3: Johnny has a crush on Marcia, and Ponyboy has a crush on Cherry. They met the girls at the movies.

Once they arrived at the park they noticed the blue mustang that the Socs drive approaching them. They wondered if they should run or not. It was to late the Socs had already gained up on Johnny and Ponyboy. Once they gathered around and started making mean comments to the two young boys, Ponyboy made a smart comment back so one of the Socs started to drown Ponyboy in the park fountain. He wouldn’t let go. Johnny had already been jumped by the Socs before so he was really scared. While panicking he stabbed one of the Socs and killed him, the others ran. Once Ponyboy caught his breath and Johnny wasn’t shocked any more they went to find Dally at one of his friend’s house. They told him what had happened. Dally went in the house brought Ponyboy a change of clothes since his were wet, money and a gun. He told them to leave town since he knew the police would be after them. The place where he told them to go was an old church on a hill somewhere in the country. He told them to stay there and in a few days when everything had calmed down he would come and see them.
