=Blog Entry #3 (Chapter Ten-The Deluge)=

In this Chapter, Percy decides to go to the "Tacky party" wearing the clothes of his fathers. By observing his actions and behaviors, I noticed that Percy hasn't been to a high school party once in his life. I can understand why he wouldn't want to go to one. He's in a different tribe and he has nothing in common with the other tribes in his high school. Earlier in the book, Percy ran into Justin, and they were talking. Justin mentioned that everyone hated him for being so wierd and not being able to act the way the other tribes actted. Justin was right, they did hate him. During that night, Michael and Nicole from the Born again tribe we're lecturing him about how fossils were real. They had many information to share to Percy. Listening to their lecture Percy needed an escape plan. After discussing and listening to the lecture of the two, he saw Elissa. He quickly made an excuse to leave the party and the rescue turned out succesful. After they left, the two were talking about WIll. They were talking about Will's death and the possibilties of him committing suicide.Will was in love with a girl named Marcia Grady, a beautful girl in high school and asked Percy and Elissa if he stood a chance with her. Percy said he highly doubted it because they were both in a different tribe, while Elissa was encouraging Will to give it a try. Two different answers were given to Will, and possibly he took Percy's advice which could of been the reason of Will's death. But from reading Will's life, he was a guy with problems so it could of been anything. After that, the Percy and Elissa hanged out, grabbing each others hand for a few moments as they walked backed to Percy's house. As they hugged for a long time, the mom was certainly happy Percy tried something new, by spending his last week of high school. Percy also learned something that night. Everything had an answer but stillhad no answer for the things he thinks about.

Reading this chapter, there were many things I found interesting and some parts that made me smile. As a high school student in grade twelve, I haven't been to alot of high school parties, maybe one or two. Not because I think it's scary but because I'm just not that person that drinks, smokes and etc. But after reading this, I might do the same by attending a high school party even though I'm not going to drink. Also to spend my last year having no regrets whatsoever. If Percy can do it, then so can I. Another is when Percy and Elissa were spending time together, it kind of reminded me of my female best friend too, Cassie Florida. We've been buddies ever since we were young because her parents know my parents. We would go camping with my family and her family, see each other in the Filipino pavillions every year, do homework together sometimes, talk about any problems we may have and just hang our. It makes me wonder if we would stay close when we go to university. So I don't want to make any regrets of not spending time with my best friend cause you never know, things change. But secretly, I'm beginning to like her just like how Elissa is beginning to show feelings for Percy. I never knew being best friends for so long can actually make you have feelings for them, and I find it so cliché. But I'm not gonna take a chance for the sake of our friendship. I don't want do anything that could end our friendship and only think about memories we had. This is one thing I'm not going to change. But as of now, this is the best chapter I've read so far because the efforts of Percy taking a chance and spending quality time with his best friend before they part both ways.
