Chapter 2

As the story progress, we get to know more about Sam and the other persons in the novel. One of things we get to know is that Sam’s mother had Sam when she was 16 years old, and had to give up school at the moment, but she continued studying when Sam got older. We also get to know one of Sam’s “friends”, or rather skating buddy, Rabbit. He is very good at skating, but not that good in school or at anything else.

The main event in chapter 2 is the story of how Sam meets Alicia. Sam’s mother was invited to Alicia’s mother’s 50 years birthday and she makes Sam come along. At the party Sam and Alicia meets for the first time, but they do not get off with a good start. After a while they start talking and getting to know each other. They find out that they actually have a lot in common, and Alicia invites Sam to the cinema the next day.

They meet the next day at the pizzeria close to the cinema, but they had so much to talk about so they missed the movie. Instead they go back to Alicia’s house, and they end up having sex.
