Part 8, Chapter 24 Summary: “Zip Zapped”

A week after spring break, Audre receives a phone call from Laurie. Her investigation into Zip Zap revealed that the app Tiffin uses is unique: It only allows its creator to post. Additionally, the posts are coming from three different IP addresses. Two are laptops, and one is a desktop. They have gained access to everything sent over the school’s Wi-Fi, including messages and emails. The desktop is in the ‘Bred Bulletin room.


In the middle of class, Ravenna tries to call Charley. Charley ignores the call, but a minute later, everyone’s phone in class goes off at the same time. One of the students proclaims that they have figured out who is posting in Zip Zap: Grady Tish and Levi Volpere.


At dinner, Charley and East discuss Zip Zap. He excitedly tells Charley that they can open Priorities next week now that they don’t have to fear Zip Zap.


That night, Davi comes to Charley’s room. She apologizes for blaming Charley for the Zip Zap post. Charley scolds her for not believing her, while emphasizing that she likes Davi because she is more than “the hair mask and lip gloss” she projects online (357).
