X'Vhat did their taunt mean? He felt alone and so un- wanted. Christie stumbled over his feet and fell. He didn't want to get up. No one cared anyway. Christie opened his eyes and listened. He was drawn to his feet as if by magic. Alerted by interest he hurried down the street and then stood in rapture before a tall dark-haired boy of about sixteen whose loosely jointed frame leaned against the post while he was waiting for the bus.
