If you can be friends with any character in The Outsider, who would it be?

If I can be any friends with any character in The Outsiders, it would be Ponyboy. I would want to be friends with him because he sticks up for his friends and never lets them down. Also, he seems like a fun and funny guy to be around. Next, he is a hero and he will ALWAYS be there if someone is in trouble or need. Lastly, he's responsible and an all around good person to be with. I wish Ponyboy was my friend(:*
