Stay Gold Ponyboy Stay Gold Meaning นิยาย & เรื่องราว

I never shattered that beautiful illusion, not until the day the high school entrance exam results came out. His so-called friends, who had once gathered around him, listening to his bragging, all received their acceptance letters to high school.

A worthless thing to kick around,” one of the girls chimed in.
