Here was just a moment when things weren’t quite the same, weren’t quite as they had always been through the long friendship.
He had waited a long time for this special December. Now that it was almost upon him, he wasn’t frightened, but he was eager, he decided. He was eager for it to come. And he was excited, certainly. All of the Elevens were excited about the event that would be coming so soon.
I feel sorry for anyone who is in a place where he feels strange and stupid.
