A wakes as James, who shares a bedroom with his two brothers, Paul and Tom. A qualifies for free breakfast due to the family’s low income, so s/he makes sure to get to school on time. At school, A gets an email from Rhiannon: “I want to believe you, but I don’t know how” (99). A also receives another email from Nathan: “I want to know why you do what you do” (100).
A gets through the school day, though in biology class the kids joke about Nathan, clearly showing that Nathan’s story is spreading. After school, A meets Rhiannon at Starbucks. She is startled at A’s transformation from Megan Powell to James the football player. She quizzes A about their day together at the ocean, their time together at the party, when he was Nathan, and the time that Amy Tran came to visit the school.
