Chapter 2, Section 6

When O'Brien approached me, I thought my heart was going to jump out of my head. By that, I don't literally mean that my heart is in my head, just that I was really scared. I could not believe it. He made a convenient excuse for me to visit his house by saying I should get the new dictionary. Even though he did not say it out loud, we both knew that we had to talk about the brotherhood. And by him inviting me to his house, my dreams of him had finally been confirmed. The brotherhood is real.
