Jonah longs to be one of the popular kids, and he gets into trouble hanging around with some wild boys. Blister worries about her appearance for the first time and is confused by Jonah's changing feelings towards her. She wants everything to stay the same, to be Jonah's best friend. So even when he gets into trouble and runs away, she is loyal to him until the time comes when the police are involved and she can no longer lie for him.
