第十一章标题中的willies是“心里发毛，满心不自在”。
在文中是指Bryce对父亲的感觉，他领悟到父亲和Garrett都会将取笑他人当成一种幽默感，这让他感到非常不舒服：
Realizing that my father had the same sense of humor as Garrett gave me the serious willies.
当一个青春期男孩发现他一直以来崇拜的父亲并非是那样高大的人物，特别是与别人的父亲相比，自己的父亲显得虚伪、高傲而且心胸狭隘，那种心理上的冲击对他来说是相当大的。时不时地，周围还经常有人说自己十分像父亲。在之前与朱莉哥哥相处的过程中，布莱斯就觉察到自己都觉得自己像个陌生人。
Something about that made me feel, I don't know, left out. I wasn't even a person to those guys.I was just baby brother.
Nothing new there, but now it really bugged me. Like all of a sudden I didn't fit in anywhere.Not at school,not at home...and every time I turned around, another person I'd known forever felt like a stranger to me. Even I felt like a stranger to me.Standing around eating little round crackers smeared with whipped cheese and fish eggs didn't do much for my mood either.
朱莉一家到布莱斯家中做客，布莱斯发现的朱莉比平常穿着还要随意些，感觉到朱莉还在生他的起，其实内心是不情愿赴约的。布莱斯有点胆怯，想道歉又苦于找不到机会，好不容易鼓起勇气加入谈话，却发现讨论的主体是永动机，自己一窍不通，朱莉反而滔滔不绝，场面令人抓狂又嫉妒。
on top of that, she looked more like that stupid picture in the paper than the picture did , if that makes any sense. Not because she was all dressed up---she wasn't.She was wearing some normal-looking dress and normal-looking shoes, and her hair was the way it always is except maybe a little more brushed out. It was the way she was looking at everything but me, with her shoulders back and her chin out and her eyes flashing.
