Later that evening, after having a fight with Darry, Ponyboy and Johnny go to a park so he can cool down.

Her boyfriend, Bob, is the same person who previously beat Johnny so badly that he lives in a state of perpetual fear. They start to argue with the boys, so Cherry decides to go with them to prevent a fight. On the way to Two-Bits home, to pick up his car, the girls' boyfriends show up in their car. Two-Bit shows up at the drive-in and offers to give the girls a ride home in his car. Cherry explains to Ponyboy that even though Socs have money, they have problems just like greasers do, which is a unique thought for Ponyboy. The girls, Cherry Valance and Marcia, appreciate it and decide to strike up a conversation with the boys. Ponyboy and Johnny are with Dally and when he takes his harassment too far Johnny stops him. The Socs boys enjoy harassing the greasers. The Socs are the wealthy teenagers who live on the West side of town.

One night, at the drive-in movies, Dally decides to harass two Socs girls. They have a group of friends, a gang, who they depend on, it includes Two-Bit Mathews, Johnny Cade, Steve Randle, and Dallas Winston, Dally. The brothers live alone, because their parents died in an automobile accident. They are greasers, which means they wear their greased hair long and don't follow the rules.
