Full summary:

Chapter 18 begins with Jak traumatized by the idea of running into Julia. Natasja is reminiscent of her cats, furious and intent on hurting him. News spreads quickly round that she is going to the Spring Dance with Michael, deepening Jak's remorse. Jak seeks refuge in the media center. He finds Wayne and Vincent, who are surprised at his approach. Jak apologizes for being foolish and insensitive in the past few days. At Vincent's prompt, Jak repeats, "I was a moron."

Wayne and Vincent question Jak about trying to kiss Natasja and getting slapped, which shock him, denying the rumors. Jak inquires if they've spoken to Julia and understanding their confusion, Jak exhaustively accounts for the events that happened.

Although the boys think over, they're disappointed in Jak's naivety. Jak concedes he made mistakes, defending his actions that were instigated by Julia's idea - the bet. However, Wayne and Vincent question Jak if he sees what's happening, implying Julia's bet was to make Jak realize the superficiality of girls like Natasja and that looks aren't everything. Jak denies this, saying Julia isn't someone who would use such tactics.

Strange silence persists as Jak recounts how Julia herself chose his new style and delegated investigations about Natasja. He halts, admitting that he might have been as shallow as Natasja. The conversation turns to "Project Perfect" and hints at pending big news. Jak feels relief, interpreting this as a sign of forgiveness from his friends.
