More than cool extract from David Yoon's "Super Fake Love Song"

The story is about a boy named Sunny and a girl named Cirrus. Cirrus has just moved to the neighbourhood. Cirrus visits Sunny at his house to get to know him before she starts at Sunny’s school the next day.
1
My big brother’s door was always open, because that’s how Gray liked things. The door to my room was
2
always shut, because that’s how I liked things. My door was boring. My door could have led to anything – a
3
closet, a brick wall, a strange universe.
4
You only get one chance to make a first impression, Mum liked to say. It was usually shallow advice, but
5
there was a truth to it that I only now realised.
6
I followed Cirrus, turning left into Gray’s room instead of right into mine.
7
Cirrus made herself at home in my brother’s steel swivel chair. She drummed her fingers on her legs, as if
8
she was waiting to be introduced to the room’s history.
9
I started to say something, then stopped.
10
I started to say something else, then stopped.
11
I started to –
12
Cirrus looked at me with a worried look on her face.
13
“So are you –” she said.
14
“These are guitars,” I said suddenly. I realised I was getting ready to tell a big lie. “They’re my guitars.”
15
Cirrus’ eyes grew big. “Wait. Are you in a band?”
16
“Yup,” I said. “It’s just a little band, but yes: I am.”
17
Cirrus looked at the guitars again, as if they had changed. “Very cool.”
18
I heard none of this, because my lie was still busy bouncing around the inside of my big empty head like a
19
ball. Shocking, how easily the lie had come out of my mouth.
20
“You’re more than cool,” continued Cirrus. “You’re brave. Most people don’t really have hobbies, if they try
21
anything new at all. Most people don’t follow their dreams. They forget about them and only remember them
22
again when they are old and lying on their death bed. Then they wonder, ‘what was I so afraid of this whole
23
time?’”
24
“Wow, heavy,” I whispered.
25
Cirrus noticed something behind my guitars [Gray’s guitars]: an old Mortals flyer. “Is that you?” she asked.
26
I cleared my throat, which was already clear. “That’s, uh, my old band,” I said. “We split up. I’m working on a
27
new thing.”
28
“Cool-cool,” said Cirrus, nodding.
29
Then she flashed me a look.
30
Not just any look.
31
The Look.
32
I recognised the Look from when Gray was still at school. The Look was a particular type of look Gray got
33
often – a combination of burning curiosity and faked disinterest. Everyone wanted to know my brother;
34
everyone pretended they didn’t.
35
The Look was the expression people gave to someone who was doing something well, and with passion. It
36
was an instinctive attraction to creativity – expressed by emojis with little hearts on their eyes. It was falling a
37
little bit in love with people who were making something new with their hands and their imaginations.
38
I had always wondered what it would feel like to get the Look, and now I realised I had just found out.
39
The Look was pure deadly sweet terror, and it felt incredible.
40
I instantly wanted another.
