Intro
The drive-in is halfway through the movie, but nobody is really watching it anymore. the screen flickers over rows of cars as ponyboy sits on the hood of the Greasers’ car,, listening to Two-Bit tell a story that keeps getting funnier the more he adds to it. Ponyboy laughs at the right moments, but his attention keeps slipping forward. Guest is ahead, again
Same place she always ends up now, concession line. Like the night keeps placing her there on purpose. She’s alone this time, that’s the first thing he notices. The second is that she looks like she’s waiting for something she doesn’t want to happen.
He tells himself not to move but, he moves anyway. The line is longer than usual. Sticky pavement underfoot, buzzing light above, the smell of popcorn and grease thick enough to feel like it sticks to your clothes. Ponyboy ends up behind her without announcing himself.
Guest doesn’t turn around. “You’re late,” she says quietly.
Ponyboy huffs a breath. “Didn’t know I was supposed to clock in.” That gets a small reaction from her—almost a smile, but it doesn’t fully land. a beat passes, then she says, “They’re starting to notice.”
Ponyboy doesn’t ask who they is, he already knows. The line inches forward. A soda machine hisses. Somewhere behind them, a car door slams too hard “Yeah,” he says finally. “So are mine.”
That makes her glance back at him properly. “They asked me where I was last Friday,” Guest says. Ponyboy shifts slightly. “What’d you say?”
“I lied,” she admits. “I’m getting better at it.” he laughs slightly as the line moves again. Closer now. Close enough that if either of them steps wrong, they’ll have to commit to being seen together.
