Chapter Summaries & Analyses
In pain, Harry cries involuntarily. He needs to pee, and he feels like he’s lost control of his body except for his lips.
Four teenage boys approach Avery and Ryan, mocking Ryan for being with Avery. The leader of the pack, Skylar, carries a golf club and menacingly hits discarded glass bottles towards Ryan. Avery wants to leave, but Ryan stands up to Skylar. Then, Skylar fakes throwing the golf club at Ryan’s face, stopping it just before it makes contact. Ryan flinches, and the boys laugh. Skylar dares Ryan to kiss Avery in front of them. Ryan stews with anger, and when Skylar pokes him with the golf club, he grabs it and tries to pull it out of Skylar’s hands. Instead, Skylar uses it to knock Ryan onto his back. The group yells insults at Ryan, and Skylar tells Avery that he needs a new boyfriend because Ryan is damaged. Avery asks to go, making it clear that it’s he and not Ryan who wants to leave, so that Ryan will not be embarrassed. Skylar calls Ryan the f-slur as they leave, and the assailants follow them, hurling insults and lobbing glass in their direction until they become bored.
