Closer Heartbeat

The narrator asks the boy if he wants to go back to school. The boy says he's been thinking about it. He used to think he was a loner all his life, but now he has so many friends at school that he feels happy to be with them. He tells the boy that unlike him, he can always tell his true feelings without hiding them. The narrator says that he still feels very happy when he is with him, but that the boy annoys him because he can't make him experience the complicated mood he is in. He says that the only person who can make him feel this kind of mood is the one who makes him feel happy. He wants to tell the boy to hurry up and see him. He's afraid that his love for the boy will be discovered, so he'll lose their friendship. The two of them stand in the middle of the crowd, and the narrator says, "so where is he?" The boy raises his head and asks, "Who are you?" The narrator replies, "I'm sorry, something I want to tell you in person." He says they'll wait until she comes back, and then he will tell her to move forward in his own way, even though they're going to be together, and that he will wait for her to come back to him. This is the most beautiful sentence ever heard in the book, and it's the one that makes the narrator feel like he is standing on her side forever.
