Audre & Bash are Just Friends

The narrative moves a few days forward in time. No longer grounded, Audre goes shopping with Reshma and tells her about her first Experience Challenge. After Audre shows her friend the texts she and Bash have sent, Reshma declares that the two are in love with each other. Bash Henry isn’t the teenager’s legal name, but Reshma finds an article about the former track superstar by looking up his father, Milton Wallace. The article explains that the young Sebastian Wallace has won gold at multiple competitions and aspires to compete in the Olympics. 

Reshma encourages Audre to ask Bash about his past, but Audre says that she doesn’t want to pry, especially since she still suspects that Clio is his girlfriend. Reshma realizes that this is the same Clio that she met in the park. She can tell that Audre has feelings for Bash, so she offers to break him and Clio up. Audre is deeply offended by the implication that she can’t get a boyfriend without Reshma’s help, tells her not to meddle with Bash and Clio, and storms off.
