Darry felt hatred toward Paul Holden when the latter confronted him at the rumble. Paul looked at his former friend with an expression that might have conveyed hatred, pity or contempt. Ponyboy didn't like what he saw. Ponyboy thought that Darry was jealous of Paul and that he was ashamed to represent the Greasers. Ponyboy watched Darry and Paul staring at each other and said that they shouldn't hate each other.

In "The Outsiders" Darry feel hatred for Paul Holden because he did not became a Soc. The both of them were best buddies, they were best friends, but that ends when Paul decided not to be a Soc not because he want to, but because he needed to. He doesn't have enough money and also, he was orphaned at the very young age. His parents died when he was young.
