Houston, Sophmore year (pages 66-69)

The members of the group GOD, which is the club Doug and Steve created, just got told that they won most original for the float they made. As they are celebrating Steve gets so excited and he hugs Dub and this really makes him happy and shows him how much he likes her. After this chapter it goes back to talking about Steve's life present day, which is him in his senior year living in San Diego. Steve starts drinking at school then tries to go into the principles office when he notices Allison, a girl who he thinks is pretty, is in there talking to the principle about college. He immediately leaves the school because he is starting to realize that he actually does care about school and his academics.
