Flipped Chapter 13 Summary

Flipped (Bryce)

  • Bryce and Juli are on speaking terms again, which is good, but Bryce still feels super guilty.
  • Now Bryce has an even bigger problem: he's been chosen as a Basket Boy. Every year his school has a fundraiser where twenty boys are auctioned off.
  • Garrett informs Bryce that he's got two hot gals who want to bid on him: Shelly Stalls (yep, that Shelly Stalls), and Miranda Humes. There's also another girl named Jenny who wants to bid on Bryce, but he and Garrett are super mean about it and call her "Jumbo Jenny." Seriously not cool.
  • Bryce tries to woo both Miranda and Shelly so that he doesn't have to go on a lunch date with Jenny.
  • On the day of the auction, Juli bids on a guy named Jon Trulock and Bryce is super jealous.
  • Then he's up for auction and Shelly and Miranda fight over him. When Jenny offers one hundred dollars, Shelly and Miranda combine their money to bid on Bryce together. And they win.
  • So now Bryce is having lunch with two of the popular girls. Everyone thinks he's awesome, but he feels down in the dumps, and it only gets worse when lunch starts and the girls make fun of Jenny. Even though Bryce didn't want Jenny to pick him, he also doesn't want to be mean about her.
  • Now get ready for some drama. Miranda and Shelly end up getting in a fight over Bryce, so he heads over to Juli's table to confront her about Jon. When she says she doesn't seriously like Jon, Bryce goes off the deep end and tries to kiss Juli. Bold…
  • Juli stops Bryce before the kiss actually happens. He waits for lunch to end while the fighting girls get cleaned up.
  • After school Garrett tells Bryce that's he's crazy—and Bryce tells Garrett that he's cruel and they're no longer friends. See what we mean? So much drama.
  • As he runs home, Bryce feels like he's finally free. He's so happy that he loves Juli that he can't contain himself. Back home he tries to get hold of Juli every way he knows how, but she won't answer his calls or come to the door.
  • When he talks about it with Granddad, Chet says Juli might need some time. He's a wise dude that Granddad.
  • So now Bryce is totally consumed with proving to Juli that he's a good guy. Seriously—he can't focus on anything else.
