Book Excerpt

I of course was not aware of what I did and told her that the food was too hot. There I was going again copying people and thinking what they did was a signal for me to do something else. Why do I do this ? I asked myself. I tried to keep eating not noticing Kay or anyone else's eating habits. Finally we finished eating and decided to go for a walk around the campus. Everything looked familiar except it wasn't. I was different in more ways than one.
