Young Adult

Here is how things stand at the beginning of newly-licensed driver Ruby Oliver's junior year at Tate Prep:

• Kim: Not speaking. But far away in Tokyo.• Cricket: Not speaking.• Nora: Speaking--sort of. Chatted a couple times this summer when they bumped into each other outside of school--once shopping in the U District, and once in the Elliot Bay Bookstore. But she hadn't called Ruby, or anything.• Noel: Didn't care what anyone thinks.• Meghan: Didn't have any other friends.• Dr. Z: Speaking.• And Jackson. The big one. Not speaking.
