Ripp finally realises what his bad grade means….

“I’m such a loser! I won’t get into college. And I still haven’t had my first kiss. Even my youngest brother has a girlfriend.”

Life’s hard, but to be fair, not everyone has to go to college. And there’s a lack of female teenagers who are single and close to your age in Strangetown, so…

“I bet even Tank will get his first kiss before me.”

… Probably?

*wails*

While Bella isn’t sure about whether she feels the same way Buzz feels, but she is thankful to have a place to stay and someone who loves her. She spent the last few months after waking up in the desert without memories sleeping at the Strangetown lab ior the country club she occasionally worked for as a caddy. After she met Buzz, he let her sleep in one of the barracks, but she has essentially been homeless the whole time. She adopted the name “Bella” after seeing a “Missing” poster of the Pleasantview socialite, but apart from dress and hair, she doesn’t think she looks that similar to her. She often wonders about where she came from, but so far, the guys at the lab she confided in, haven’t found anything out- she’s essentially a Jane Doe.
