Chapter Summaries & Analyses
It’s Senior Beach Day, and Char is avoiding J. T. However, he plops down on her towel, accompanied by Andie, who asks him to untie her bikini top and put sunscreen on her back. Char is jealous. She gets up to go for a hotdog, but once she gets in line, she hears J. T.’s voice asking the boy behind her if he can cut ahead of him. He wants to explain things to Char, but then she sees Clay Diaz coming toward her. Clay stops to talk to her, and when Char mentions that he didn’t respond to her message, he apologizes and explains that he deleted Instagram from his phone during exams. Initially, she brushes it off, saying that she didn’t really care, but then she honestly confesses that she did care and that she wanted him to message her back. This elicits a big smile from Clay. She decides to be bold and asks if he’s going to prom. When he says that he has no one to go with, she invites him to go with her, and he accepts. When she turns around, J. T. is gone.
