The Last Song pgs 67-71

In chapter seven, Will, a very short chapter, it talks about the conversation between Scotty and Will talking about Ashley. Will does not like his ex girlfriend Ashley at all, he thinks she is shallow and closed minded. Although he thinks she is a very attractive looking person her personality ruins it all, he thinks that she is boreing and he concludes to Scotty that he is done with her and he wont even "hook-up" with her. Scotty on the otherhand really wants Will to get back together with Ashley, of course for his own benefit of getting with Ashleys friend Cassie who is as equally shallow minded as Ashley. When Will starts talking about Ronnie to Scotty he completely shuts him down calling her "Vampire Girl". But Will sees more than "Vampire Girl" he sees how she reacted in the fight being so nice and caring to the little boy who was hurt, he also notices how she is the complete opposite of Ashley. He describes Ashley as "putting people into boxes" otherwise being very judgemental and thinking back to Ronnie although he knows very little about her he knows that she does not "put people into boxes" that she is what he says "refreshing".
Will while thinking about Ronnie more and more finds it weird that he is considering he knows so little about her. However, he definately knows that he is not getting back together with Ashley so she is completely off of his radar. And in the end of the chapter he catches himself thinking about when is the next time or even if he will run into Ronnie again.
Although this chapter was very short it was actually very informational about Will. He described all of his feelings, it sort of reminded me of a soliloquy in a play where the character reveals there innermost thoughts without others around (besides Scotty in the beginning). I have started to notice the extreme cheesyness of this book, but I still really like it.
