Sephy and Callum each recount the train journey to Celebration Park earlier that year. She says that it was a lovely day, but Callum’s memory is slightly different. Callum asks her what she remembers about the last time they went, during the summer. They meet on their private beach that evening, and Sephy apologizes for missing their picnic at Celebration Park. Sephy is angry that Callum didn’t visit her, then shocked to learn that he did visit every day, he just wasn’t allowed through the gate. Paxton, that she can’t sit next to him because she was told not to sit with noughts. When Sephy returns to school five days later, she joins Callum’s Math class (his favorite subject), but she tells the teacher, Mrs. Sephy’s older sister, Minerva, tries to get her to share who hurt her, but Sephy refuses-the two have a tense relationship, and Sephy calls her “Minnie” to bother her.
Hadley sends Callum away, blames him for Sephy’s injuries, and bans him from the property. He runs to her house, where Sarah Pike, Jasmine’s nought secretary, confirms that Sephy was hurt. After an infuriating school day of hearing about how Crosses are superior, Callum learns from Shania that Sephy was beaten up.
