When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind. Paul Newman and a ride home. I was wishing I look like Paul Newman. He looks tough and I don't, but I guess my own looks aren't so bad. I have light brown, almost red hair and greenish gray eyes. I wish they were more gray because I hate most guys that have green eyes, but I have to be content with what I have. My hair is longer than a lot of boys wear theirs. It's squared off and back and long in the front and sides. But I'm a greaser and most of my neighborhood rarely bothers to get a haircut. Besides I look better with long hair. I had a long walk home and no company, but I usually loan it anyway for no reason except that I like to watch movies undisturbed so I can get into them and live them with the actors. When I see a movie with someone, it's kind of uncomfortable like having someone read your book over your shoulder. I'm different that way. I mean, my second oldest brother Soda who is 16 going on 17, never cracks a book at all. And my oldest brother Darryl, who we call Dary works too long and hard to be interested in a story or drawing a picture. So I'm not like them and nobody in our gang digs movies and books the way I do for a while there, I thought I was the only person in the world that did. So I loaned it.
