Passage- "Can I tell you something?" Eric says
"Sure" I say
Then Eric says "I can't sleep"
Response- This is the turning point in there friendship after this Eric tells Darren that he has only told a three other people and they all assume that he is either crazy or it is temporary.after being told Darren wanted to do a test so he stayed up to show Eric that he could do it to and show that anyone could do it and he was stalking him in school and asking his teachers if has been drowsy or sleeping at all and they all said no so the next night he wanted to watch Eric the entire night to see if he was telling the truth when he was doing that he fell asleep and when he awoke he saw that Eric was finishing a book and Eric recorded himself the who time and at that point Darren finally believed him.
I thought that Darren would've taken this a different way than he did in novels like this the best friend would think he is crazy and would either stop talking to him or try to avoid talking about it but Darren viewed this as a cool thing he wants to know how it works and what his limits could be. I feel like he becomes like the people that Eric is afraid to see.
