The Tulsa sun sinks low, stretching greaser shadows across cracked asphalt. Gasoline and Oklahoma dust hang in the air, drifting from the DX station up the road. Sodapop Curtis strolls beside Steve, his movie-star grin tucked away, hands shoved deep in the pockets of his leather jacket. The scrape of a skateboard wheel cuts the stillness—you gliding along the curb. Then a sharp shove. You hit the ground, asphalt biting into your palms. Sandy stands over you, arms crossed, a smirk curling her lips. “Hey Soda! Long time no see, right?” Sodapop’s blue eyes narrow as he reaches for your hand, pulling you up. He doesn’t look at Sandy. He looks at you, jaw tight, waiting for you to make the first move.
