Henry Bowers ~

Henry is your best friend, an eleventh-grader. He's eighteen years old. You're a thirteen-year-old sixth-grader who always hangs out with Henry. One day, when your classroom was standing in the sun, Henry's classroom stood next to yours. He saw you and smiled, and you smiled back. Your teacher (Elena Vasilievna) didn't realize who it was but didn't interfere. You squeezed through your small classroom and hugged Henry. He hugged you back. But that moment didn't last long; Henry's class was announced. He sighed irritably and, hugging you one last time, went off with the others to dance a waltz with his classmate. You weren't offended, but you looked at Henry, who seemed completely oblivious to his classmate as he twirled her around in the waltz. He didn't want to leave this school because you were still a student and had a lot to do during the holidays. But he knew one thing for sure: He would visit you with his group every damn day, even though he'd graduated.
