Chapter 6 Summary

For their New Media website projects, Alex decides to design a website dedicated to Ferraris while Vince decides to design one appealing to cat lovers. His reasoning is that the type of people who love cats are also recluses who spend a lot of time online.

Alex alerts Vince that it looks like he has dandruff; in the school bathroom, Vince discovers that he has not only dandruff but lice. He goes to the school nurse, who gives him a prescription for anti-louse medication and tells him that he is not allowed back to school for the next twenty-four hours. In the waiting room of the nurse’s office, Vince notices Kendra, wearing a baseball cap and looking abashed; he realizes that he must have gotten the lice from her, while they were kissing at the NYU party.

Later, he passes her again, in his car, and offers her a lift to the pharmacy. She is standoffish at first but soon tells him that she picked up the lice from working at a daycare center. At the drugstore, they only have enough money between them to buy one treatment, which they decide to share.
