Bobby plans to sleep in Saturday morning, but Addie calls him at nine a.m. and asks him to come over for lunch and to help her write her campaign speech. Addie has notes from historical documents which include analyses of the First Amendment and the Pledge of Allegiance. Bobby dissuades her from including that material in her speech, suggesting instead that she “take a simple approach, to talk about name-calling and stick to that” (211). Addie seems frustrated at Bobby’s advice. Yet when Bobby asks her what’s wrong, she changes the subject to explain that Colin doesn’t even know they are a couple. For example, Addie mentioned the dance to Colin, but he didn’t say anything. Bobby agrees that love is hard and reminds Addie of the note with B. G. and a heart he found in art class. Bobby wishes the note was from Kelsey, but he doesn’t know if was is or not.
Outside, Joe sees Bobby from his front porch next door and invites him over. Joe and Pam are putting colored streaks in their hair with. Pam tells Bobby she thinks the No-Name Party is great. Bobby asks Pam if she was popular, and Pam says no way.
