The Lunch
- Corinna finally goes to lunch with Deborah. It's scary, but she's ready.
- They go to Cosi, where they talk about—you guessed it—Sophie.
- Deborah asks Corinna when she misses Sophie the most and Corinna tells her that it's when she sees other kids with their moms.
- Deborah says she's asked Sophie's friends to write memories of her for Corinna, like Corinna's dad told her about.
- Corinna asks if anyone's sent one in yet; Deborah says no, but they're writing them.
- At school, the kids have a long-term substitute in math, and Corinna can't stand her. She thinks the teacher mumbles and doesn't know what she's doing.
- She complains to her friends about it at lunch, and Joci and Clare tell her she's being harsh.
- After school, she goes to the band room to get her flute and music. Alex is there, talking to Mr. Morgan about drumsticks.
- She gets her stuff and leaves the room before Mr. Morgan can ask her about practicing again. Alex follows her, though, and calls to her to wait up.
- They have another moment of cute awkwardness. Corinna asks him what he thinks of the math teacher, and he says he doesn't like her either.
- She's proud of herself for finally talking to him—after all, it was one of her New Year's resolutions.
