Ponyboy is restricted to bed rest for a week after he wakes up from his concussion. He finds a picture of Bob the Soc in Sodapop's high school yearbook. ... Ponyboy, in a delirious state, says that he killed Bob himself and that Johnny is still alive. In 12, Pony thought there would be more people at the hearing. The only people there are Darry, Soda, Randy and his parents, Cherry and her parents, and two of the other boys who attacked Pony and Johnny the night Bob was killed.
