I wasn't much younger than Johnny, he was twenty at the time and I was seventeen. He never wanted me to hang around Sodapop or Dally, they were such a flirt. He always told me "they're too much older than ya," When really they're basically all the same age; the oldest was Darry, he was about twenty one. I always found them ALL attractive. But there was one that caught my attention, he was different from them. He didn't like to hurt people unless he had to. Ponyboy.
