If Only Chapter 37 Summary

Aloha

  • Corinna's packing up her flute after band practice one day when Alex comes walking up to her.
  • He asks if she knows when the upcoming Aloha Dance is, even though the posters have been hanging in the halls for weeks.
  • She's glad she doesn't know the exact date, because that might make her seem too interested. Instead, she twirls her hair.
  • They have a moment of mutual cute awkwardness before going their separate ways.
  • Corinna calls Joci into the girls' bathroom for a squee session. They squee.
  • Corinna's so wound up about it all day that she nearly sews her finger into her quilt in Ms. Carey's class.
  • Ms. Carey asks if she's ready to put the backing on her quilt, and Corinna says she is.
  • When Ms. Carey says the quilt is beautiful, they both get tears in their eyes.
