Jim woke up feeling confident.

Unusual.

His mother said good morning to him for the first time in a week and added:

“I’ll pick you up from basketball practice.”

On the bus to school, when he looked at Mary, she met his eyes and smiled.

John asked him for his algebra homework, and Jerry laughed at his joke.

In history class, the minute hand moved every time he blinked.

While waiting in line for lunch along corridor C, Jim saw Joe and Tom pushing Bill’s wheelchair away from the boy’s room. He grabbed Jerry and John and led the charge.
