I used to watch Gilmore Girls reruns as a kid, but never watched the full series in order.

They are referred to as the Greasers as the rich West siders are known as the Socs.
One night when Ponyboy is walking home alone at night he is beat up by a gang of Socs for no reason. The next night, another fight breaks out at the drive-in theater. Continuing on in the story, a Soc nearly drowns Ponyboy in a fountain and a fellow Greaser steps in and stabs the Soc, killing him. The boys hide outside of town as they will surely be wanted for murder.
