He goes back into her room and he tries to explain to her why he has failed his classes. He tells her that he hates almost everything about school and she says that he hates absolutely everything. He claims he doesn't but she asks him to name anything that he doesn't hate. He tells her that he liked Allie but she said that doesn't count because she is dead. He than relates to the song Catcher in the Rye and tells her he just wants to be watching over a bunch of kids and would catch them if they were about to fall over the cliff, but she tells him that he heard wrong.
