Part 2, Chapters 17-22Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 17 Summary

Pip sits in the cafeteria with her friends, and she casually asks Ant about his friend George, who is part of the crowd that does the calamity parties. When she asks if he thinks George could get them all invited to a party, her friends are puzzled, thinking this highly out of character for Pip. She lies about her motivations, stating that senior year means it is finally time to experience a house party. The group agrees to go.

Stopping by Ravi’s house, Pip explains that she is “going undercover” at the calamity party to attempt to find the local drug dealer Andie was working with.

Chapter 18 Summary

Pip and her friends enter the calamity party, and Pip quickly goes to work, losing her friends in the crowd and scanning the scene for clues. She notices a boy in her class reach for a pack of cigarettes and head out the back door, realizing this is a good place to start.

Outside, she approaches a boy named Stephen and casually asks him for marijuana. He lights up a joint, and she pretends to smoke it. Pip wonders whether she has gone too far for her assignment, but then she remembers her mission to find the truth for Sal and for Ravi.
