- Three weeks into college, and Cath's eating a protein bar during her break between her biology and fiction-writing classes.
- She's thinking about how she doesn't really miss her boyfriend, Abel, even though they've texted a few times; she texts him a picture of a squirrel who's trying to eat her protein bar.
- Flashback to high school: Wren teased Cath a lot about how she'd hardly even kissed Abel, even though they dated for three years.
- Wren, on the other hand, had a boyfriend named Jesse. It was hot and steamy, but he made Wren cry all the time.
- As Cath feeds the protein bar to the squirrel, a dude named Nick from her fiction-writing class walks up to her and asks what Cath wrote about for their assignment.
- He also wants to know how a freshman got into a junior-level writing class. Cath says she asked.
- That night, Reagan asks Cath if she has an eating disorder, since she eats nothing but protein bars.
- Cath admits she's afraid of the dining hall, and Reagan forces her to put her shoes on and go to dinner.
- In the cafeteria, Reagan asks Cath what's up with the Simon Snow heads on her desk, and when Cath uses the words the fandom, Reagan is horrified.
