Shades of Fall

Once again Fall begins to show an entire new side to her, proving she is not as innocent as she seems. For their anniversary Julius's father's limo driver, William, allowed Fall and Julius to have his apartment all to themselves. Fall and Julius decide to go out for dinner at a Korean restaurant they had never been to. There they meet a couple and proceed to have a small conversation with them. Julius gets up to use the washroom and when he gets back the couple is gone. He mentions this to Fall who proceeds to tell him that the husband had been hitting on her while Julius was in the washroom, and while his wife paid the bill, "His wife's looking down, paying the bill and I look over at them, right. And I caught his eye for a second and he's looking at me and he's going like this: You're Hot." (McAdam 241). When Julius hears this he begins to get angry and proceeds to say "I'm gonna kick his ass" (McAdam 241), only to have Fall urge him on saying he should and beginning to laugh while showing Julius the card that the husband gave her, that had his number on it. Julius outraged wants to call him but Fall does instead, pretending that she wants to meet him and saying "I hope I've reached Sean McAdams. You left me your card earlier tonight and I don't know I wanted to talk to you as soon as I was alone. … I can't leave you my number in case my boyfriend answers so maybe I'll try again later." (McAdam 243). Fall begins to treat this as a game and does not care that she is making Julius jealous or could have just ruined a man's marriage. To Fall everything revolves around her and she does whatever, and acts however she wants with out considering the consequences. This again proves that perhaps Fall is the problem, not Noel or Julius, and perhaps the reason the author does not write from her perspective is because the boys are completely oblivious to her true self.
