Chapter 25 Summary: “Haley”

Before Chapter 25 begins, the italicized text describes a drunken Jenny dancing with the tall boy at the party.

Richard finds Haley to catch her up on what has happened; they sit on the steps outside of the chapel to discuss where they can go. Haley explains about moving Jenny out of their room, then she asks Richard “on a scale of one to still furious with me, where are you?” (214). He says he isn’t still mad, just “annoyed” and begins filling her in on his meeting with the investigator. Within minutes of his description, Haley gets upset about Richard talking about Carrie and his seemingly close friendship with Jordan. They both are frustrated about the situation they are in, where every sentence seems to get them closer to an “honor code violation” (216).

Richard begins to smooth things over by talking about their relationship and how it is important to fight and to “work it out” (217). They talk about strategies for Haley to be successful in her interview with Dean Hunt the next day. At the end of their talk, the two decide to have a “do-over” (218), shaking hands and pretending to meet all over again.
