    Summary

    “Okay.” Shelby sounds a little skeptical. Then she yawns, long and loud. “I think I’m gonna try and go to bed.”
    “Alright,” Raelynn says. “Maybe when you wake up we can hang out.”
    Things aren’t back to normal. Things never were normal, even before Shelby slept with Lee. Raelynn just didn’t know how not-normal things were back then. But they’ve tentatively been forming a new normal—getting snacks and sodas larger than their heads at the gas station, getting milkshakes at the Chick-fil-A, wandering around the Walmart in the next town over. But they haven’t actually gone to each other’s houses yet.
    “Yeah, maybe,” Shelby says noncommittally. “G’night.”

    or

    The summer after junior year, the town gets a new stoplight. A lot of other things happen, too.

    Summary

    It first happened when Beth was fifteen. What “it” is? She’s not sure. But she remembers when she first saw Mr. Smith. Tall and sophisticated and admittedly very handsome and charming. That meant nothing though. Beth knew at the end of the day he was her teacher, and that was that.

    Summary

    This is all I have to offer you, he tells the JB-in-his-head, who blinks resignedly back at him. He pictures himself dissolving into a mess of colors on a palette, JB dipping in a brush, the dull smear of paint brightening under his hands. This much he can trust JB with—JB has always seen the ugliest parts of him and turned them into something captivating, even he at once enthralled and sickened by what JB has made of him. Jude with Cigarette; Jude After Sickness; Jude, Alone —these are pieces of him that even he cannot recall, but JB seems to have memorized those versions of him down to the bone, down to expressions and gestures he hadn’t recognized as his own.
