In this section Melinda has several run ins with an older male student she refers to as IT. She later tells the reader his real name is Andy Evans, but Melinda does not tell us why she freezes up around him and even vomited after one bump in while other girls are drooling over him. Also after Melinda's parents receive her report card they have a talk with her about her attitude and how much effort she isn't putting into her school work. This night Melinda has thoughts about suicide and when her mother sees that she has cut herself her only remark is "Melinda I don't have time for this." As a teenager my heart sobs for Melinda and I wish I could be there to help her through this tough time and stick with her even when she tried her hardest to push everyone away.
