Ty and Cady leave the apartment complex. The two men glance at them but then look away. Cady again hears the voice in her head that says: “Don’t act. Be(96).” She tries her best to be a 13-year-old boy. The entire time, Ty is giving her a lesson in riding a skateboard. Once they clear the parking lot and apartment complex, they began skating. Cady is relieved to learn that she can skate without incident, until she realizes that they’re going downhill and that she doesn’t know how to stop.

Although Cady does well on the skateboard, she doesn’t know how to stop. When Ty turns a curb and she tries to follow suit, she falls. The two then walk the rest of the way, with Cady looking back over her shoulder every now and then. She imagines that her ability to ride the skateboard is due to body memory, though she can’t remember riding at all. They decide to go to a local coffeeshop that Ty knows to get off the streets. At the coffeeshop, Cady (who is passing as Nate) is introduced to Audrey, a worker. It’s clear that Audrey knows Ty well, and perhaps is trying to show Cady that she does.
