Ponyboy Curtis was walking down the street to the house that he shared with his oldest brother Darry. Suddenly he was surrounded by a group of Socs. Ponyboy said: "Leave me alone!" Now, Darry was nearby when he saw what was happening with his youngest brother. And it made him mad. Darry took off running and tackled the ring leader of the group to the ground. Ponyboy was able to fend off the rest. He kicked two of them into the other two behind them. Darry stood. The group climbed into the car and drove away. Darry walked over to Ponyboy and said: "You okay?" Ponyboy smiled and said: "Yeah. Those guys are going to be sore for a good week or so. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you have a sixth sense when it comes to me." Darry said: "Actually, I was nearby when I saw what was happening with you. It made me mad. Come on. Let's go home before they come back." Then the two brothers walked home.
