The boy chasing gold.

局外人

That night, my two friends died. One was considered a hoodlum, the other a hero.
----------
My name is Ponyboy Curtis. My friends call me Ponyboy.
Two years ago, my parents died in a car accident, and my two older brothers had to drop out of school to work and support the family. Kids from poor families like ours can't compare to the "Socs" who drive luxury cars; we're not even middle class. Most of my close friends are the same. They come from humble beginnings, tough and cold.
In the eyes of others, we are reckless, good-for-nothing street thugs. But for us, the companions we spend day and night with are our true family. We share common interests, are incredibly close, and always look out for each other.
However, I'm a little different from everyone else. I don't like fighting. I like reading, and I like clouds and sunsets.
If it weren't for the "Socs," my best friend Johnny and I wouldn't have been caught in that life-and-death struggle, and my life wouldn't have changed forever. And I finally understood the true meaning of the phrase "Stay Gold" that echoed in my ears.
