Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 10 Summary: “February, Senior Year”

Jessica walks across campus in shorts and a t-shirt that are too big for her, feeling like everyone is staring. Wanting to crawl into bed and never come out, she is shocked to find a crowd outside her dorm suite, including her boyfriend, Mint. There are whispers that something has happened to Heather. Courtney says that traffic is blocked by cop cars.

Caro and Mint want to know where Jessica’s been, but Coop distracts them, seemingly intentionally. Jessica says that she passed out drunk. Eric, Heather’s brother, barrels through the crowd to the door. A police officer stops him, but the door opens, and they see a body covered in white cloth. Jessica experiences deja vu as if she already knew Heather was dead. The police officer asks Mint to take Eric to the station to answer questions. Jessica and Caro go with the officer to answer questions as well.

Chapter 11 Summary: “Now”

In the basement, Frankie tells Eric that Jack killed Heather, but Eric and Jessica stick up for Jack, saying that he’s innocent. Eric announces that Frankie has a secret, and then Courtney tells everyone that Frankie took Heather back to her dorm the night she died. Sobbing, Frankie admits that he hurt her.
