In this chapter, the narrator laments the fact that he has lost all of his "thinness" and that he looks the same to his friend . He laments that they are both in different classes and that they have been "ratted on" by the other students. He wonders if there is a way to focus the students' attention on close-ups of the beautiful things in their yearbooks. He asks the photographer to take some of the pictures. The photographer agrees to take the pictures for him. The narrator is annoyed that the photographer does not take the photographs himself. He complains that he cannot join the yearbook committee because the paper is stuck on and he cannot buy cake if it is not included in the yearbook.
