Stradlater walked out of his room ready to meet me in the annex. When I saw the shadow of a figure making their way down the hall, I assumed it was Stradlater and began preparing myself to greet him.
"Hi there!" I said trying to look pleased.
Stradlater took a minute before he replied to me and when he finally did, he said, "Hey, you look nice. You ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be" I muttered under my breath. I tried so hard to put a fake smile on, and grabbed Stradlater's hand.
"I thought we might go to grab some pizza and hang out in my car and talk after" Stradlater said very calm and collected as if he were the biggest hotshot in the school.

Oh. My. Gosh. How did Holden remember that? Holden remembers that! Inside I was jumping up and down. Holden was the only friend I really had that I could talk to when I was little. He always was shy and didn’t know how to communicate his emotions very well. Because if he did, I would of told him he was my childhood
