It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. They were held the last of October. Reed Harrington was voted President and Carlos vice-president. “How come?" I kept asking myself. “How come this shrimp who's only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"
So on that perfect October morning, I stopped Carlos and said, point-blank, “It doesn't seem to bother you—being short, I mean."
He looked up at me. “Of course I mind being short. I get a stiff neck every day from looking up at people like you."
“I might have known I couldn't get a sensible answer from you," I started up the steps.
“Hey, don't go away. Please."
I stopped.他边说边跟了我几步路。“凯文，我只是做我该做的。你和我其实有很多共同点。”
如果不是因为学生会选举我是不会再想起卡洛斯了。学生会选举是在十月末举行的。里德.哈林顿当选为学生会主席，而卡洛斯则是副主席。“这怎么可能？”我不断地质问自己。“这个才来小镇不到一个月的小个子怎么可以一下变得如此受欢迎了？”
直到美好十月的一个早晨，我叫住卡洛斯，直截了当地对他说“：看来长得矮并不怎么妨碍到你的个人发展嘛？”
他抬起头看着我。“我当然介意我长得矮。因为每天我老要抬头看着像你这么高的人，致使我的脖子肌肉都僵硬了。”
“我早该想到从你这儿我是无法得到合理的答案的。“说完我就准备走了。
“哎，请不要走。”
我停住了脚步。
