Ponyboy and Two-Bit walk to a two bits house with Monica and Cherry to give them a ride home. When talking about socs and greasers they discover they have a lot in common. For instance, they both like reading and watching the sunset. Ponyboy voices his frustration about greasers living in poverty while socs live comfortable lives, then Cherry explains the socs situation isn't as simple as that. After their conversation a blue mustang that belongs to Randy and Bob, Cherry and Marcia's boyfriends, pulls up beside them. The two groups nearly get into a fight but the girls agree to leave with their boyfriends. Before leaving, Cherry tells Ponyboy she hopes she doesnt see Dally again because she thinks she could fall in love with him. When they arrive home dally is furious they stayed out so late. During the argument Dally slaps Ponyboy, he storms out of the house in rage, and he's sure Dally doesn't want him around. Ponyboy finds Johnny in a lot where greasers hang out, and he tells Johnny that they are running away. Johnny who lives with his abusive alcoholic father agrees. The boys walk through the park and try to determine if they want to leave.
