In this chapter, we learn that Jim has been in love with Juliet for 10 years, and that he has become her boyfriend in just two weeks. He's so angry that he can't stop talking to her. He wants to tell her that he loves her, but he doesn't want her to know that he's in love. He tells her that they're not close, but that he tutored Romeo in high school so that he wouldn't think they were so close. He says that Romeo reminds him of his younger sister, so he gave him extra attention. He asks why Romeo isn't listening to him, and he says that sometimes, he is more of a "player" than he is. He also asks if Romeo and Juliet are falling in love because of the way he dressed up, and if that's the case, then he'll have to accept the ugly side of him, even if he wants to say otherwise. He calls him a "dash taxi" , and asks him to call him when he is ready to speak.
