Houston, sophmore year and San Diego, senior year (pg 105-111)

Steve and Dub start to become very close and he meets her parents and spends much of his time there. His father suspects he has a girlfriend although Steve has not mentioned her. In San Diego, Steve finds out he is a National Merit finalist which is a huge academic achievement. Then his father calls him asking for Steve to be his best man at his wedding. Steve doesn't know what to say so he tells his father he will try to make it but in reality Steve really doesn't want to go. I think Steve should go because it is really an honor that his father asked and I believe it's a sign that he does want to become more close to Steve. Back in Houston Steve and Dub become an official couple and everyone knows about it, including teachers. In San Diego, Sarah tells Steve that he  will be coming to the concert with her because it would make her mother more comfortable if he went. This I believe was a good idea on their mothers part and it also makes both children happy.
