Boy Meets Boy Chapter 27 Summary

One Small Step

  • It's the night of the dance, and Paul gets all spiffed up in a tuxedo; he folds an origami flower for Noah's lapel.
  • Jay picks up his date, Delia, and drives Paul to pick up Noah. He says Rip's going to owe him five hundred bucks.
  • Paul asks if the odds were that much against him, and Jay says no—he just bet a lot on him and Noah.
  • When Paul picks Noah up, he asks Claudia's permission to take him out. Claudia grudgingly gives it. She even takes their picture.
  • Paul gives Noah the origami flower, and Noah gives Paul a photograph of a flower.
  • Before they go to the dance, they have to go to Tony's to try to talk the 'rents into letting him go.
  • When they get there, Joni has already arrived, with Chuck of course. Chuck looks annoyed.
  • Success—the crew manages to get Tony out of the house, with a hug from his mom, even. 
  • In the car Tony asks if they can be a few minutes late for the dance. He has something he wants to do first.
