Someone Like You (Pages 110-165)

Summary
Halley got busted for skipping school with Macon and Scarlett. At first when her mom confronted her about it she did not want to tell her why it was but she found out anyways. Scarlett's mom had called her over and told her that Scarlett was pregnant and that she was supposed to be getting an abortion. Once Scarlett got to the clinic she did not want to follow through with it and asked Halley to go get her. Now she was grounded for a month disregarding that her birthday was that week. On her birthday her mom threw her a family party and then at night Macon convinced her to sneak out to take her out to celebrate with him. The next morning she went to school, Halley had gotten her license and was the one driving to school everyday while Scarlett was getting worst mood swings. That day Scarlett and Halley were talking about her pregnancy in the bathroom and someone over heard leading to everyone finding out. As time progressed her mom became more suspicious about her relationship with Macon. She was not allowed to have phone calls after 10:30 and she had to sneak to see him. One night she went out with Macon after telling her mom she was over Scarlett's and her mother knew that she wasn't there.

Quote
"I face my reflection and committed this girl to memory: the girl who belonged with Macon Faulkner, the girl who broke her mother's heart, never looking back. The girl I was (Dessen 161)"

Reaction
Halley was now growing up, she was in high school and was beginning to go through the changes a teenager goes through when entering high school. In this quote she realizes how much she has changed and how it has affected her mother. She is not the girl that she use to be who never lied to her parents.
