  Summary

  Ponyboy returns to his everyday life after Windrixville, and by all means he should consider himself lucky. He and Johnny survived the fire, they got no legal consequences for Bob’s murder, and he had reunited with his brothers. After all of this, he still doesn’t feel like a person anymore. So when Curly offers him a risky job that reminds him how thrilling life can be, how could he refuse?

  Or: Ponyboy helps Curly sell LSD and consequently starts a gang and gets smooched
