Status Updates From A Step Toward Falling

Emily and Lucas have been caught. Everyone knows that they saw Belinda being assaulted but still didn't step in. Belinda is talking to her brother and says, "Then I learned from Emily that wasn't true" (204). She is saying how she thought everyone was her friend, but after what Emily did, she no longer thinks that. I predict that Emily and Lucas will be punished by the school and potentially their friends as well.

I really like this book so far! It a story of two highschoolers named Emily and Lucas. They witness one of their classmates with special needs being sexual assaulted and both agree not to tell anyone. Through this they grow closer. "Would you like to dance?" (McGovern 66). This is Lucas asking if Emily would like to dance at their school dance. I think that they will end up dating.
