Lake Point North High School may have had a large emo crowd, but Joni and Zoe's school (Lake Point South) didn't. In fact, it only had one emo, and his name was Derek Lettman.
It was Derek's bedroom that was Amber's final destination. She walked into the small unkempt room, passed Derek who was sitting on his bed scribbling something into his diary, then proceeded to open up his drawers and closet, putting on his clothes.
After Amber had donned the clothing belonging to the emo boy, Derek stood up glassy-eyed, then left the room. Amber sat down on the bed and continued writing in the diary at the point where Derek left off, writing about the misery of living. All of Amber's original happiness and bubble-brained attitude was gone. Now she was filled with nothing but self hatred and misery.
"Amber, get your butt to school!" yelled her mom from the hallway. Even from her room, she could smell the cigarette smoke. Her mom smoked nearly a pack a day. It was amazing that she was even still alive. If you call that "living".
In the narrow hall outside Amber's "new" room, Derek walked past his former mother, who didn't seem to notice him, then left the house altogether. He needed a new identity and he set out to find one.
