The Future of Us Chapter 27 Summary

Emma

  • Emma gives Sydney Josh's number. She looks at the screen again and rolls her eyes at the picture of pregnant Sydney and the status: "My baby's having my first baby any day now" (27.6).
  • Josh, meanwhile, is pestering Emma about what Sydney said. Emma calls him out and says that he must have been trying to get her attention at school.
  • Josh tells Emma about what happened during Peer Issues class.
  • He doesn't think it's a big deal, but they now realize that even that will change Josh's future in some way.
  • Josh changes the subject by telling Emma about the list he made—he says that he's curious about what their other friends are like on Facebook.
  • They are about to start looking people up but then they stop: The fact that Sydney just got Josh's number could mean that things have changed again.
  • So they decide to wait before looking again, and Josh goes home to see if Sydney has called him yet.
