Chapter 17 is told in the form of Addie’s minutes from the Forum meeting after school. First, Addie tells the group that Ms. Wyman only called her into her office to talk about math. Addie was late getting to the flagpole, and Colin was leaving as Addie showed up. Addie didn’t tell Colin the notes were from her, but she and Colin did walk together a short distance. Colin told Addie he thought she was behind the posters and that she is really smart. Addie asked Colin if he wanted to come to the Candy Kitchen, and Colin said he couldn’t but maybe another time. Addie takes this to mean they might go out sometime and that he might like her. Skeezie announces that he’ll never go out with anybody. Skeezie then calls over the waitress, Steffi, and announces that his fries are cold. Steffi jokingly flirts with Skeezie. The group knows Skeezie thinks Steffi is attractive and teases him.
The group realizes they’ll need to pick a new president now that DuShawn dropped out. They agree that Addie should run as president, with Joe as vice president—after all, the mean names on the posters are all ones they’ve been called.
