The Point at the Center of the Universe: Vince Thompson was inside the 321 club, he's trying to recover from his beating. He's also trying to come up with a plan on how to finish off Russell Harmon. The gun is still in his pocket, and there's no way he'll change his mind. That is, until he starts watching the dart match that's going on. It's Brice and Russell. They're head-to-head and Russell was doing great. Brice was doing well too, but Russell simply knocked his lights out. (That was supposed to be funny because the lights were already out and Brice was already having a hard time seeing..) Anyways, Vince got really excited seeing the match and so after Russell Harmon won (yay!), Vince threw himself onto Russell. Russell and everyone else thought it was because they thought Vince was going to try and kill him. However, Vince was just happy. I, personally, wouldn't have reacted this way. I probably would've given the guy a nice pat on the back, but Vince isn't me (thank goodness, too). So in the end of this section, Vince gets peeled off of Russell and tries to be Russell's best friend. It somewhat works. They both leave the bar and go to Vince's car with the intentions of "doing a line".
Distance: Tristan Mackey is waiting for Kelly Ashton. Kelly Ashton gets in his car. He plans how he's going to tell Liza Hatter's story in his head. He tells Kelly nothing. She's curious. It was a short section.
Velocity: Vince turns on Russell and has his gun pointed at him. Russell Harmon simply wants to go back into the bar to see Kelly Ashton (who is now on her way to Tristan Mackey's car).Vince complains about being lonely and Russell tries to explain to him that they're friends but Vince is pretty angry. The whole rest of the section is how Vince tries to shoot Russell, his friend. He doesn't. Russell gets to walk away, alive.
Weight: Kelly Ashton decides to go with Tristan Mackey. On her way to his truck, she sees Russell getting out ot Vince's car. He's heading to the bar to be with her. She's aware of that, but she gets in Tristan's truck anyway.
Gravity: Russell Harmon is thinking about his future. In particular, his future with a baby girl. That baby girl being Hayley, the baby girl of Kelly Ashton. Then, he sees Kelly going into Tristan's car. He wants to run and stop Tristan from running off with the love of his life. Russell doesn't do that though. Instead, he reflects back on when he first got to know Kelly (it was in 5th grade). It was cute, Russell was kind of stupid so he said " I like you as big as the sky" and Kelly replied with "Are you sure? ... The sky is pretty big". I think that's cute. For fifth grade, especially. In fifth grade, I was more concerned with not having to sit next to the kid that picked his nose. Maybe that's just me.
Release: Brice Habersham loses the tournament. We've already known this. However, he decided he needed an extremely short section to say this. I didn't find it necessary at all, but maybe that's just me.
Epilogue: Last, but certainly not the least. It ends everything between the characters. The most important thing from the epilogue is the Liza Hatter situation. Tristan Mackey takes Kelly Ashton to where Liza Hatter is buried on the hill. Tristan tells her the whole story about how it happened. Kelly tells him that calling the police is the only choice they have. Instead, he goes kind of crazy. Thoughts go streaming in his head and it leaves you with Tristan going towards Kelly with a knife in his hand. Kelly says she wants to go home. Finally, Russell ends the whole story. He's going to work and he looks at a picture on his beautiful daughter, Hayley. Russell puts the picture face up on his nightstand so he'll see the picture after work. Cute book. I really enjoyed it. I'm hoping to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower soon. It sounds interesting, it's been requested to me.
