Ryan Dean and Megan continue to fool around behind Chas’s back, sneaking off during school to kiss and flirt with each other. Joey knows about their attraction but doesn’t say anything to Chas. Ryan Dean doesn’t tell his friends or Annie about Megan; he does not want to make Annie jealous, and he does not want his friends to spread the news around in school or online. When Ryan Dean and Joey discuss the dilemma, Joey tells him to stop seeing Megan to avoid hurting Annie’s feelings. Although Ryan Dean admits that Joey’s right, he is so attracted to Megan that he knows he will have a hard time cutting things off with her.

Ryan Dean and Annie make plans for him to visit her home near Seattle over the upcoming weekend. Ryan Dean has sexual fantasies about sleeping in Annie’s room and being injured so that she’ll need to examine his body. His mind is also occupied by a big rugby game coming up before he leaves for Seattle.

At lunch, JP tells Ryan Dean that he invited Annie to Pine Mountain’s Halloween dance later in the month.
