Chapter 10 Summary

Jessie goes around town looking for a part-time job to no avail. Her last effort is at a small local bookshop, a place that instantly brings her comfort. The owner is impressed by the books Jessie is currently reading, and Jessie tries to sell herself as an ideal employee. She agrees to hire Jessie if her son, Liam Sandler (a senior at Wood Valley), agrees to give up some of his hours. While Jessie leaves, excitedly texting Scar about the job opportunity, she accidentally bumps into Liam's guitar case, which knocks her down. He helps her up, and she recognizes him as one of the boys she saw on the first day of school. They chat, and he is grateful that she wants to work, as he wants to spend more time at band rehearsal. Jessie returns home with the good news of getting the job, excitedly telling Theo. Rachel pops into Theo's room, hearing the excited commotion, but Jessie does not want to share her news and is reluctant to form any type of relationship with Rachel.
