Reading Response #2 (Pages 49-86)

            After a week or so, Audrey invites Daisy to come over to her house and hang out. Although Mason is hesitant for her to do go, he allows it to happen.  Daisy and Audrey start talking about her past but Daisy unintentionally tells the truth when she is asked about when he parents adopted her. She blurts out the answer 4 instead of the answer she’s supposed to say, which is that she was adopted at birth. She ignores the follow up question about where she lived beforehand by changing the subject and Audrey takes this as a sign that Daisy might not feel comfortable about the subject. Audrey then asks is Daisy would like a drink and excuses herself in order to get them. While she is gone, Matt, Daisy’s secret crush, walks in a starts up a conversation. She quickly realizes that Matt must be Audrey's brother and starts to feel almost uncomfortable with her friendship with Audrey.

            Later in the reading, Audrey invites Daisy to go see a movie with her and afterwards go to the mall. This time, Mason is having uneasy feeling about the Revive Program’s secrecy being in jeopardy, but he still allows her to go. As Mason is driving Daisy to Audrey’s house, he’s constantly looking in the mirrors to make sure that they aren’t being followed and when he drops her off, he doesn’t leave the drive way until Daisy is inside the house. Audrey informs Daisy that Matt will be coming with them and that she knows that Daisy has feelings for her brother. They get into the car a little before Matt does and Daisy tried to dispute her feelings but before she can say much, Matt comes into the car.

            The three of the watch the movie and head to the Mall. After they shop around, they grab something to eat in the food court. Audrey leaves Daisy and Matt at the table in order to get pretzel bites, however, this takes her quite a long time and one gets the sense that she is trying to spectate on her new friend and brother. The two have a short and awkward conversation and Audrey comes back to save the day, then she exclaims that she forgot to fill her drink. Realizing what she had just been a victim of, Daisy quickly offers to fill the drink for her in order not to be spied on again. When she comes back, she teases Audrey about being her waiter and how if she isn’t tipped, she will have to take the drink back. This causes a commotion in the food court and many people start staring at the two girls.

            Out of the crowd, a girl that had known Daisy in her past life makes eye contact and Daisy quickly evacuates the scene, with the drink in hand. She texts Audrey and tells her to meet around the corner and explains that she saw a girl that she hated from her last school and didn’t want to have to talk with her. Later that night, Daisy explains the mall situation with Mason and Cassie and they decide that instead of leaving the next morning to go to Kansas City in order to test another bus kid, they’re going to leave that night. After hacking into the E-mail of the girl from the mall, Cassie discovers that she is in town for the weekend for a family reunion. Her and Mason decide that it is best if they stay in Kansas City until Monday to avoid the girl.

           The family discusses what the possibilities are of them having to move because of the incident. Daisy privately tells Mason that she is becoming attached to Omaha and that she doesn’t want to move anymore. Mason assures her that he will do everything he can to prevent another move but reminds Daisy that although he may be one of Gods favorite disciples, if he says that they have to move, they have to move nonetheless.
