Why We Broke Up Chapter 25 Summary

  • Goofballs III has ended, and Ed and Min are at a diner. Min tells him she thought the "unavoidable" thing was her losing her virginity, and Ed thinks she's insane.
  • Because, as you may have guessed, this is not what Ed was referring to. He was actually talking about their Halloween plans.
  • Turns out there are always two big Halloween gatherings: One is on the Hellman High School football field—that one is Ed's—and the other is for arty people and drama nerds. That one is Min's.
  • Ed and Min feel obligated to go to their respective parties, though Min says both parties are awful.
  • Ed says he and the basketball team have picked out their group costumes: a chain gang. Min is unimpressed.
  • Ed pulls a protractor (remember, he's a math nerd) and a pen out of his back pocket, and he starts sketching out a plan on some napkins. He draws the locations of both parties on the napkin map.
  • They plot their route, ultimately deciding to take a bus. They'll make a brief pit stop for coffee, then cut through the cemetery to get to the second party.
  • Evidently the cemetery is a spot where gay men cruise. Min jokes that Al hangs out there all the time—she feels badly about making the joke, but the point is she makes it.
  • Ed mentions that his sister is going to be out of town in a few weekends, so he'll have the house to himself. And you know what that means: bow-chicka-wow-wow.
  • Min says she doesn't want to lose her virginity in Ed's bed; it seems too pedestrian. She wants to be somewhere "extraordinary."
  • After a little more back and forth, Min gives him a maybe. She wants to think it over.
  • Ed starts to crumple the map he's drawn, but Min wants to keep it.
  • Back in real time, she sees that Ed wrote a secret message on the napkin: I love you Min Green.
