In chapter five, Will, the boy who had basically trampled Ronnie in the third chapter. This chapter however does not describe Will as some arrogant bonehead who doesnt know anything and just relies on his looks. Will is more of a nice guy who is surrounded by arrogant people, especially his friend Scotty. Will also has alot of girl drama putting into consideration of his good looks. Will has an ex girlfriend Ashley who always trys to hangout with him but he is always making excuses not to. She is a mean and nasty girl, completely beautiful girl but she has an attitude problem. Scotty on the other hand thinks that she is a total catch and always tries to set Will and Ashley up again, of course to benefit his own needs by hanging out with one of her "hot friends". To Scottys dismay, Will always declines.
In another part of this chapter it talks more about the fire that Ronnies dad Steve was involved in. Although it is only a few short excerpts not fully giving away the answer, it is inferred that Scotty started the fire and that Will had witnessed it but not said anything. They allowed Steve to get the blame for everything and they hadnt said a word.
Also in this chapter it describes a fight on the boardwalk between Scotty and Marcus. Will is describing the fight, and just when it starts to get heated, "a familiar voice" he says comes in, which ends up being Ronnie. Breaking up the annoying boy ego fight and helping a small toddler who got knocked down in all of the commotion. Will in watching Ronnie do this, the reader can tell that he is very attracted to her as a person in her manerisms and the way that she had reacted in that situation, taking the boy back to his mother and treating the boy so nicely.
This chapter I thought was very interesting, Will seems to really already have and attraction to Ronnie although they have never even shared a maximum of 5 sentances between eachother. I really am enjoying this book and I am looking foreward to reading more.
