Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Adam’s mom drives him to school the first day, and he finds things aren’t too different from his previous school. He meets Ian Stone, his school ambassador who is supposed to show Adam around, but ends up quickly ditching him, Maya Salvador, who has a low opinion of people in general, and Dwight Olberman, who is in most of Adam’s classes and talks a lot. Adam’s biggest struggle is that he has “no frame of reference” for what’s real and what isn’t (17).
Adam’s classes are more or less what he expected. Toward the end of the day, he sees Ian grab a notebook out of a girl’s backpack and throw it in the trash before walking away, looking satisfied. Adam retrieves the notebook and returns it to the girl. Ian sees Adam do this, and the two boys have a stare-down before Ian leaves.
Other than an occasional appearance from Rebecca, Adam experiences no hallucinations. He doesn’t think too much about them because the distance from the visions helps and he’s never had any control over them anyway. He writes that he’ll report the hallucinations when they come.
