Act IV Summary

The school play’s flyer is ready, and Callie isn’t happy with it. The flyer depicts a kissing couple, and she was hoping for the cannon to make an appearance on it instead. “Think of the people who might have come if they knew there was a cannon involved” (114), she reasons. But Matt and Loren have already printed the flyers (behind schedule), and the flyers need to go up on campus.

Justin volunteers to help Callie flyer the school bulletin boards. As they do so, a student named Theo Mitsubishi walks by. Justin tells Callie that he thinks Theo is very cute. “I thought you had a crush on Loren!” (114), Callie says. Justin responds that he does—but he thinks Loren may be straight.

By afternoon, Callie is hanging out with Liz, helping her make costumes. Callie asks for Liz’s advice about Jesse: She wonders aloud if Jesse has any romantic feelings for her. “Or maybe he’s…”—Callie begins a sentence—and Liz finishes it with, “What? Gay?” (117). The thought that he could be makes Callie nervous, but Liz assures her that she thinks he’s just shy—and that it’s Justin who she’d put her money on as gay.
