Kidd sees Olivia again after an unsuccessful surfing lesson with Red. He sits on the cliff, hidden behind bushes, watching Olivia and her friends below. Kidd cannot capture his feelings for her in his journal.

Red appears, teasing him and then apologizing for the surfing lesson. Changing the subject, Red wonders if the people from Horizons will come looking for Kidd; he hopes not because the boy is a good worker. He asks if Kidd misses his friends. When Kidd is noncommittal, Red lectures on the importance of having friends. When Red mentions Olivia, Kidd asks why she wears the ski cap, and the man comments that girls can be complicated.

Kidd wonders how Red knows he is lonely, and is interrupted by another voice. This time it is time Devon, who calls him “Special” and a “perv” for spying on the girls. He grabs Kidd’s notebook and reads about Olivia. Devon accuses Kidd of feigning innocence and stupidity. Kidd thinks about the last time he saw Devon when Kidd broke off their friendship. Calmly, Devon told Kidd that Kidd would be lonely and miss him, and he was right.
