Shift
“GG explained that trains can push and pull, so basically we are reversing.
We have moved to the far end of the train now, so we can at least see if anything is lying in wait for us.
The Moth still smells and Carrie is now waving her hand in front of her nose and making a big show of it. ‘Thanks for ponging out first class.’ ‘You have issues,’ responds the Moth. ‘Deep, deep issues, you know that? All this aggression, there’s a reason for it.’ ‘What I have is a gag reflex.’ Carrie kisses ...her teeth at him and waves more of his smell away. Despite the savage comments she has thrown his way, the Moth refuses to buckle.
‘No one is like that on purpose,’ he says, quietly confident. I am starting to marvel at the Moth. Everyone at school thought that Lucas was just his friend because he felt sorry for the Moth, but I’m starting to see how resilient and capable the Moth truly is. Lucas was fragile and paper thin underneath the near God-like exterior – he proved he didn’t have it in him to cope, but the Moth has had his best friend die and he hasn’t crumbled.MoreLess
