Fangirl Chapter 8 Summary

  • Cath and Nick are in the library, working on their Fiction-Writing assignment.
  • They're supposed to write a story from the point of view of an unreliable narrator. Cath writes hers in Baz's voice.
  • They're working on an extracurricular story, too, but Nick's being kind of a notebook hog. He keeps writing ahead, and Cath has to go back and insert her own words into his paragraphs.
  • They've been talking a lot, and it seems a crush is developing; Cath's even been pretending she has to walk to the same building as Nick after Fiction-Writing class.
  • Fast-forward to Fajita Friday in Selleck Hall. Wren and Courtney are being vegan, because they're on the Skinny B**** diet—in other words, not for, say, animal rights reasons.
  • The diet is to make up for the calories in alcohol. Wren says they're only skinny bitches on weekdays; on weekends, they're drunk bitches.
  • Wren and Courtney want to "just happen" to stop by the library to see Levi. Cath says no way.
  • Wren's all about getting Cath to kiss new boys now that Abel's out of the picture, but Cath isn't interested in kissing someone she's not really into.
  • However, she is starting to notice random boys, which is a strange and totally new thing for her.
  • And one boy she's noticing, besides Nick, is definitely Levi.
  • This weekend, however, Cath's arranged a ride back to Omaha to visit her dad; she invites Wren, but Wren's planning to party instead.
  • Back in Fiction-Writing class, Cath hands in her Baz paper, and Professor Piper says she can't wait to read it.
  • She doesn't know yet that it's about Baz.
