Am I making a friend?? Holy shit! It's happening so fast! Joel is gonna shit when I tell him.
"El?" I repeat, disbelieving. "I'm Ellie!" Yeah, I'm excited as hell for a friend, but not as excited as I am about the ice cream. I look between the glorious treat in my hands and my new friend one last time. This is my last moment as a kid who has never tried ice cream.
It's weird as hell -- I have to use my tongue and my lips. The sensation is shockingly cold against my teeth, my lips protected by layer of chocolate sauce. I bite into the thing like an apple. My eyes go wide.
"Holy. Shit." I sound serious, buy my face is lit up like one of those Christmas trees from a different picture book. Awed. Euphoric. My mouth is a chocolate sauce crime scene. The entire mouthful has become some freezing inferno. I want to spit my gums out, but I wouldn't dare. My mouth is overflowing. "This is the best fucking thing I've ever tasted."
