Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 9 Summary

Char wakes up to the sound of a siren, and she realizes that she is in bed with a naked J. T., wearing loose silk pajamas that are not hers. J. T. now has a few wrinkles and a beard, and Char is overwhelmed by the appearance of his fully naked body. She snatches a picture frame off a shelf and wields it like a sword. Neither one can figure out why the other looks so different. Char is especially shocked to see that her breasts have grown. Both Char and J. T. are absolutely baffled. She yanks on his beard, thinking that it must be fake, but it is real, as is the photo of the two of them in the frame, looking very much in love.

Chapter 10 Summary

This is the week for senior pranks, and the pair consider the idea that this is an elaborate prank. Char dons a Maplewood hoodie while J. T. checks himself out in the mirror. In the hall, Char sees more photos of her and J. T., and she realizes that this house is definitely her style. She also realizes that her feet no longer ache from the ill-fitting heels that she was breaking in the day before.
