Chapter 19 Summary: “Now”

Jessica attempts to talk Coop out of going to Eric or the police. Coop, seeing through her, accuses her of trying to pretend everything and everyone is perfect when they are as “fucked up” as they ever were. Jessica kisses him like she did when they were in college. Eric walks up, interrupting them, followed by Caro, Courtney, and Mint.

Coop reveals his secret fear about the drug dealers killing Heather as revenge. He wants to take the blame, but Eric stops him, explaining that there was no break-in to the dorm and that it wasn’t tweak found in Heather’s system. It was a weight-loss drug imported illegally from China, like the one Courtney has been taking since she was a teenager. The friends all turn to Courtney, who admits that she drugged Heather.

Chapter 20 Summary: “February, Senior Year: Courtney”

Determined to be crowned Phi Delt “Sweetheart,” Courtney watches Mint, coveting him, not understanding why he is with Jessica. Just as she is about to talk to Mint, Heather comes stumbling down the stairs, obviously drunk. Heather begins to cry, sharing that Jack broke up with her and revealed a secret that she will tell Courtney later. Courtney, seizing her opportunity to support Heather in Jessica’s absence, gives her a pep talk.
