Scene 1: Sodapop stretched out on the sofa‚ sound asleep‚ while I was in the armchair under the lamp. All of a sudden‚ I heard the door open softly. I looked up from my paper and stood up on my feet for a second. Ponyboy was standing there‚ chewing on his fingernail. “Where the heck have you been? Do you know what time it is?” I asked.
