pg. 263-286

guess what everyone?! you know how i kept asking when i was going to meet Noelle (the girl on the cover)?? Well i did! ABOUT TIME! as soon as Craig and Noelle meet face to face, they immediately jump into this question game that i saw in the trailer. It's her idea... Noelle's first question is "do you think i am gross-looking?" which is a real ice breaker. The thing about this girl is that she has cuts all over her face, well scars and scabs from the cuts she had when she came into the hospital 27 days ago. like most people( well i shouldn't say most... correction: most normal depressed people.) cut their wrists when they get nervous, i guess she cuts her face with scissors, which cant look that great. But from the way Craig describes her, he can look past the cuts ans see the real girl underneath:  "they don't look like very deep cuts, and they're thin- i have a feeling that when they heal up she'll look fine. and she's beautiful. her eyes are green and knowing."
At the end of their question game, Craig thinks that their 5 minute encounter has been enough to fall in love and ask her out and kiss her. he actually asks if he can kiss her, which i think is kinda lame, and Noelle reacts of course and tells him that he can certainly not kiss her. multiple times they do this actually. Craig never gets the hint. until he leans forward after being denied twice and she walks backward and suggests a race to the arts and crafts room. he even tries to hold her hand. just let it go buddy. its been 5 minutes.
see, thats the thing with these guys. you share a few minor details about your personal life and they think its time to go in for the kill, i guess they would say. i don't know. you have probably figured out that i'm not a guy..
