Macy is really having a rough time, not only with her fathers recent death but the unspoken "what ifs" going through her mind. What if she had woken up when he told her to to run with him, what if I could have saved him, what if he wasn't alone.
At one of her mother's parties this is expressed in a great deal due too the fact that she finds she is still the girls know as "the girl whose dad died." She is also experiencing an epidemic what she calls, the face. The face she gets from everybody that says, poor thing, I'm sorry, and worst of all I feel bad for you. Something she gets on a daily basis from everybody except her boyfriend, who is now MIA, due to brain camp.
These of course don't help, especially when she starts her first morning off at the library. The two snooty girls, who "know" they're better then her, sure act like it. They are used to the smart guy who has all the answers and don't want to spend much time helping out Macy. Confused and hurt, she eats lunch alone for the afternoon.
