Cherry - I think she would've gone off to college and been glad to get away. I think she would start to feel very guilty for how she ignored Pony at school and how she contributed to the Soc/greaser war. I can see her graduating college and doing her best to stay away from Tulsa and create a new life, but never really able to get away from what happened all those years ago. I think ultimately she would come back to town to try and patch things up with Pony and make things right. I can see her having a so-called perfect life to people looking in, but on the inside she feels that it's all fake. I think the circumstances of The Outsiders would've caught up with her a lot later in the life than everyone else.
