How It All Goes Down
- Lena's been lying to her aunt and sneaking out to be with Alex every chance she can get.
- She meets him at the beach, and he says "I'm glad you came" (10.17). The universe will never be the same.
- Because Alex has been cured, it's legal for her to hang out with him.
- They hang out, go to the beach, and talk about Lena's dead mother. You know, romantic stuff.
- One day, they're playing on the beach when Alex confesses that he isn't actually cured. The scars on his neck that indicate he's had the procedure are fake.
- Lena freaks out and runs away. She gets on her bike and rides home before Alex can explain himself.
