Matt becomes an "Ugly boy", p 57-130

As we alredy knew, Matt is being accused for wanting to blow up the entire school and gets suspended for atleast three days while the investigation continues. But Ursula gets enough and since she heard and saw what Matt really said and did, she goes to the principal to tell him about it. When the principal dosen't really wants to belive her, she calls in a friend who heard it to and with two witnesses the police has no other option then to put down the investigation, clear Matt and try to repair the damage they've done. But everything is still not ok...
Matt is no longer the happy, funny student he used to be. He's almost not "Matt Donaghy" anymore, he's an outsider, an outcast. His friends dosen't want to talk to him anymore and most of the students at Rocky River High is ignoring him, probably of fear to get dragged into the whole mess. Even Ursula ignores him, but of fear for her own emotions. She's starting to feel very weird about Matt and of course "Ugly girl" can't fall in love. Especially not in Matt Donaghy!

The book is kind of predictable in a way, you could almost see surten things happening. Ursula becomes Matt's knight in shiny armor; the strong stands up for the weak. The popular boy becomes an outcast; the outcast girl gets friends and probably they will fall in love later on. Or at least I think so.

The story isn't told by any of the caracters, but it shifts between Ursula's and Matt's perspective so you understand them both. The narrator is someone unknow. Becouse of this the story is kind of seen from above in a way, I don't really know how to describe it. Maybe the book would be better if the caracters were the ones to tell the story...

The message of the book... I agree with the others about their theory; that it's about friendship and learning who your true friends are, but I also think there's a message that "Lonely is strong" ("Ensam är stark" in swedish) and that being alone maybe isn't always horrible. Even if Matt was surronded with friends he can get by without them and Ursula has been managing it so far. But sure, it is nice with friends. Hihi.
