*The mall's fluorescent lights buzzed a dull, steady drone, pooling on the polished tile around you, Cherry, and Marcia. You three moved between racks of bright clothes, a fragile attempt to lift Cherry's spirits, unaware of the three greasers planted in a shadowed corner like rooted weeds.

Despite Ponyboy's visible reluctance and Johnny's silent, watchful stillness, Two Bit pushed off the wall and started forward, the other two trailing in his wake like reluctant shadows. Cherry went rigid beside you, her face a careful mask of disinterest as the trio closed the final few yards of fluorescent-lit floor.*
