Perfect Chapter 20 Summary

Andre

  • Guess what? Andre's obsessed with (and conflicted about) Jenna.
  • It's a Saturday, and he's going with her to watch Kendra's cheerleading competition.
  • Usually Jenna waits for him outside her house when they have a date, but today she doesn't, and when he calls her phone, it goes to voice mail.
  • He has to go to the front door, where he meets her mom, and it's awkward, because he doesn't know her name and she doesn't tell him. Jenna's mom says she'll be ready in a minute.
  • Jenna comes stomping down the hallway, yelling at her mom that her dad can't be serious about this bridesmaid thing. Needless to say, she doesn't want to do it.
  • Andre says she should do it, because she'd look great in a bridesmaid's dress.
  • On the way to the competition, Jenna doesn't speak. Andre finally asks what her mom's name is, and she says it's Caroline Carruthers.
  • He asks if she's mentioned him to her mom, and she says no—she and her mom don't get along that well.
  • At the competition, Andre is surprised to find that the cheerleaders are really good athletes. Jenna says that's why he'll never see her cheer.
  • He asks if there's anything she's really committed to, and she says no, she's just living for the moment.
  • Andre tells her that if all she can give him is today, he'll take it. He tells her he loves her and she thanks him, but she doesn't tell him she loves him back.
  • Kendra's team comes out onto the gym floor, and Andre's shocked at how skinny Kendra is. He asks Jenna if Kendra eats.
  • Jenna says she only eats when she absolutely has to, and that you'd think her mom might do something, huh?
  • Andre checks out the cheerleaders and notices a cute black girl on the team. They're really good, and they win a trophy.
  • Afterward, Jenna introduces Andre to Kendra, Cara, and the black cheerleader, whose name is Shantell. Shantell gives Andre a dirty look, presumably because he's with a white girl.
