Greg led the way, plodding back down the hall to the room that he shared with the other boys. He tossed the book onto the bed, and then sort of threw himself onto it, his body hitting it and then twisting to roll onto his back. He put his hands behind his head and watched, expecting Theo to take a spot near the foot.
He lay there only a moment, and then sat up, and looking at the book with apprehension on his face, "How are we going to do this? I mean, I just suck, Theo," Greg said in earnest, not hiding anything now that they were in private.
He looked down at his hands and then up at Theo again, "I really appreciate this, just so you know."
