When Jonathan Cade, who goes by Johnny, first arrives in America he deals with having to learn English and how the language barrier blocks him from learning. When he meets Ponyboy, he gets introduced to a lot of sports, foods, and places that he never experienced in Italy. This story will take place in a modern AU because that's what I'm more comfortable with. So, basically they won't wear grease in their hair. What I like to think of for their hair is Jeremy Andretti's (Eight is Enough) hair and Jim Halsey's (The hitcher 1986) hair. And for clothes, I always just think of like baggy type outfits. - Two-Bit still puts grease in and gets made fun of for it. - Bob and Randy are Ponyboy's friends and kind !! - Ponyboy's parents are still alive <3 !! CHERRY SEEMS LIKE A BITCH IN THE BEGINNING, I SWEAR IT'S JUST BECAUSE JOHNNY IS SASSY !! This story is heavily inspired by @FloralP1xie so creds to them ! English wasn't my first language so if there's a mistake, please tell me. I hate being embarrassed 😿
