He just gives 당신 a funny look.
“Money’s tight…” 당신 continue. “It wouldn’t be fair to bring up a child like this… And I don’t know if 당신 even want it… I’d think it’d be best for him 또는 her.”
“What’s best for our baby is living with it’s parents who will work hard to make a good life for them.” He smiles at you.
“Oh my god, Steve. Your eye.” 당신 say as 당신 remove the ice pack.
“It’s just bump.” He grins.
“A bump? Honey, it’s a huge black eye. It’s 더 많이 like an egg.” 당신 say.
“Old Man can still pack a punch, huh?”
“Steve, 당신 need to get out of there.” 당신 say matter-of-factly.
“I got nowhere to go.”
“You can stay with the Curtises. 또는 me. I just don’t like seeing 당신 hurt.” 당신 whisper.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” He says.
“Excuse me?” 당신 say, eyebrows raised.
“I think-“
“No I heard what 당신 said.”

“Hey, do y’all want to go play football?” Darry asked the gang.
Everyone’s saying yeah, but 당신 say, “No.”
“Why not?” Ponyboy asked.
“Darry think’s I’m awful at football, so I’m not going to play.” 당신 say in a joking tone.
“Well she does,” Darry smiles.
“It really hurts,” 당신 sniffle.
“Well fine, I’ll stay back with you.” He says, plopping on the 침상, 소파 다음 to you.
“You know, it really hurt my feelings.”

“You’re too young too.” Ponyboy says, annoyed.
“But I gotta look after you, kiddo. 당신 don’t want to end up like me. Well actually I take that back. 당신 do kinda wanna end up like me; a successful sex god.”
“You are not a sex god.”
“Yes I am. Are 당신 blind?”
“I obviously have better vision than you.”
Steve tackles Ponyboy, pinning him the ground.
“Take it back, Horseman.”
“Nope.” Ponyboy laughs.
“You better, 또는 I will fucking beat your ass.”
“Ok, ok, 당신 have ok vision.”
“Thank you.” Steve says, getting off of Ponyboy.

Instead of picking up snow to make another snowball, he sprints towards you.
And tackles 당신 into the snow.
“Oww Steve!” 당신 laughed.
“It was needed.” He joked back.

“Don’t use that tone with me, young man.” Darry says, voice raised.
“Who went and made 당신 dad?” Ponyboy asked, shrugging his shoulders.
“You take that back.” Darry says, lunging for Ponyboy.
They start beating up on each other, nothing serious. Brothers will be brothers.
“Hey! Knock it off!” 당신 say, trying to separate them on the ground.
