I was wondering why Adrian didn’t just say he was Adrian or that he’s a friend of Carter’s or…whatever. Then I realized, if Carter is upset enough to be skipping school then he’s not going to want to talk to Adrian. Pretending to be someone from his French class makes perfect sense because A) Carter’s going to need to know what work he’s missing and B) Not that Adrian knows this, but he got his phone and DS confiscated BECAUSE he did so poorly on their recent French test. Adrian really couldn’t have picked a better “cover.”

Over-analysis aside, it’s really sad that Carter’s just avoiding everyone. Boy wasn’t exactly valedictorian before, but it seemed like Adrian was starting to get under his skin and make him think about his life again. It must have been a low blow to have the person who started to inspire you act like you were just an easy lay. I know that sounds harsh, and I don’t mean to be overtly cruel to Adrian, but I worry about Carter’s seeming lack of motivation. He really seemed to light up when he was around Adrian, and I want Carter to realize that he can be somebody after high school. I need Adrian to pursue HIS dreams of acting or performing or whatever he wants to do, and I need Carter to push himself a little and figure out that there’s more to his life than being the slacker. What is most important is that they talk and understand that neither of them was seeking each other out for the right reasons the first time, but maybe they can get it right on the second try.
