Questionable Media Month Part 29
Chapter 29 – Popularity Pact
The second and third performances both go by with no more than minor issues. Hooray!
Then in an honestly semi-surprising twist, it turns out that her parents aren’t divorcing. Her mom just had a health scare – they thought she might have breast cancer – but she doesn’t, so yay!
Except Sadie is upset, because she’s been assuming this whole time that her parents were planning a divorce and she’s angry that her mom didn’t trust her enough to tell her the truth. Which, fair enough.
Meanwhile, Nigel has come clean at school about being the father of Lucey’s baby. Also, Mr. Lord was in fact arrested for kidnapping. (The question of whether he had an inappropriate and illegal physical relationship with a student is left unaddressed.) Also, Mr. Ellison agrees that they should put on a spring play to round out the theater program before he retires at the end of the year, neatly setting up the sequel. Did I mention this book has a sequel? No, I will not be reading it.
Also, Sadie and Alex officially start dating, starting with some steamy one-on-one basketball action. Sadie decides in like a week that she’s maybe falling for Alex. Because kissing Alex is different than kissing Nigel (it makes her heart feel all warm and squishy - no, really)! Just like Jesse told her! TRUE LOVE WAITS, KIDS. At least this book stays true to Twilight’s no-physical-affection-before-marriage message…?
This means that Sadie is popular by the transitive properties of dating a popular kid, which she finds disconcerting. To counterbalance it, she and Alex sign a pledge that they won’t let being popular go to their heads or influence them to be untrue to themselves.
And it’s finally over. And my head really, really hurts.
