Part 1, Chapter 9 Summary: “Billie, Fall 2002”

In Billie’s freshman year of high school, Wade moves in with her mother. Meanwhile, Cassie and Kyle have been dating since the homecoming dance. Billie likes Kyle, and Cassie seems to love him until they visit her paternal grandmother in Greenwich. Cassie and her parents lived near Grandma Catherine in Greenwich until her father, Eric, lost all his inherited money through bad investments. Grandma Catherine cut Eric off, and the family moved to Red Hook. Although the rest of her family is estranged from her grandmother, Cassie has kept her favor. During lunch at an expensive restaurant, Kyle visits the restroom. While he is gone, Grandma Catherine comments on his dirty fingernails and cheap-looking clothes. Afterward, Cassie looks dejected and admits she is having second thoughts about Kyle. When they return to Billie’s house, Billie is puzzled when her mother mistakenly asks Cassie the same question three times.
