Author: Carrie Jones

What is happening right now is that Zara has started going to school and she’s already got a crush and a friend. The creepy thing is that her crush. Nick Colt, tells her to stay away from Ian, the guy who’s been helping her get around school for her first day. Why would Nick want her to stay away from Ian? While Nick and Zara were running the mile in P.E he told her that she should “stay away from Ian” because “he’s a user”(Jones41). Why does Nick think that Ian is a user? Should Zara listen to Nick since he’s obviously known Ian for a long time? Or should she listen to what Ian tells her about Nick? Ian tells Zara that Nick is “a jerk [and that] he’s got this cop-complex thing going on”(Jones45). What is Ian hiding? Could he be the one that’s stalking Zara? Why are there so many mysteries now that Zara has come to Maine?
