In this chapter, the narrator tells us that he is the "best of the best," regardless of his financial situation, in sports, or in school. He says that he wants to have a child with the prince. He tells the prince that every day he was "bursting with energy" and that he remembers the time they all went to the cave to find a perfect bow tie. He also remembers the day when they reached fourth grade, when the prince was forced to stay home to care for his sister. The narrator tells him that he and the prince were "like strangers" at that moment. A few months later, the prince's mother got sick, and she was taken to the hospital to be treated. Since then, the young prince has been taking care of his mother in the hospital.
