Summary:

Reading along through the next section of my reading, Lauren becomes more used to being around Evan since now everyday after school he's bringing her home. But on the way home one day Katie is in her driveway when Evan drops her off. Katie doesn't know it's Evans, she guesses it's Jack Hariss one of Lauren's history classmates. As Lauren gets ready for a date with Dave, She listens to Katie talk and soon after their convo she figures that Katie is tired and worn out but always wears a smile to cover it all. Katie was always known to be a early bird; Laurens knows why now. On her date with Dave to his little brother's basketball game, Lauren thinks about how she doesn't feel she belongs because Dave's family is too perfect. She never tells him about the fact that her mother leaving because she thinks he'll leave her. Dave talks about how they can attend the same college because he doesn't see himself in a big university; this would give them the chance to stay with each other. Lauren feels the idea is great along with the summer camp job for HIM, but not for her. When she gets home her father isn't home and when she wakes he's already gone, leaving a scruffy note.

Quote:
I'm someone better than Lauren Smith, who no one noticed till Dave came along. The thing is, that girl isn't me and I know it"

Reaction:
This made me think that she wasn't ready for a realtionship with Dave. Even though she is semi happy, she isn't at all. She doesn't feel she fits in for nothing at all. I don't understand why she doesn't just tell Dave how she feels and what is really going on.
