The Future of Us Chapter 3 Summary

Emma

  • The saga continues as Emma wonders about her future self during dinner.
  • When her mom and stepdad start getting touchy with each other, Emma runs up to her room so she can finish eating and contemplate the situation more in peace.
  • She thinks maybe it's a coincidence. Maybe there is another, older woman named Emma, who happens to have a lot in common with her.
  • She tries to call Josh but he doesn't pick up.
  • After a few minutes she tries the website again. And guess what? Facebook is still there, but all the information on the home page has changed. She clicks onto this Emma's page and scrolls through the information. It all matches her, including Tuck Everlasting being one of her favorite books. Chills.
  • Emma notices another status update under her name. It says that Thursday, May 19 is going to go down in history. But today is Sunday, May 19. Why is it going to go down in history? And why is this other May 19 a Thursday?
