1968. Dahlia Cooper has been friends with the gang since she could remember. Ponyboy was her first friends in first grade after he defended her against two bullies. That's when she first remembered falling for him. She always kept her positive outlook and a smile never left her face. Until one night her parents desert her on her fourteenth birthday. That's the day she turned cold. Hardened. Bitter. She was still friends with the gang, but she was emotionally detached from the world.Adrenaline was the only thing she felt. The rush from running away from the cops. The thrill of slashing someone tires. She hoped she never had to feel rejection and distinctively hurt again.

Ponyboy has fallen for Dahlia ever since that fateful day in first grade. He's always kept them inside, not wanting to be rejected. Her always admired her positivity and optimism. Until one night she shut down. She stopped taking as much. She's been getting into trouble with the likes of Dallas Winston and Curly Shepard. But even worse, he hasn't seen her bright, lovely smile in years. He prays for the day to come where she cracks a grin, maybe even give him a chance?

takes place in 1968, everyone is 3 years older than in the story but everything is the same and dallas and johnny aren't dead :)
