Park
- Park's mom keeps asking him about Eleanor. Josh tells his parents that he has a girlfriend, too, but they say he's too young to have her over to the house. Park's dad says Josh will have to give up Nintendo, and they talk briefly about it. Park thinks it's the most his dad has said to him in ages.
- No one's really cared about Park wearing eyeliner except for Park's dad, Park realizes.
- Park goes to bed early, totally preoccupied with seeing Eleanor in her gym clothes. He can't stop picturing her: "A stack of freckled heart shapes, a perfectly made Dairy Queen ice cream cone. Like Betty Boop drawn with a heavy hand" (41.28).
- Park feels badly for not asking her what happened, and terrified that he won't be able to look at her now without picturing her in her gym suit.
