WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
Chapter 20 showcases Jak's attempt to confess his feelings to Julia through their childhood communication ‘clothespin-post system’. He sends two shirts with 'YES' or 'NO' written, attached with a heartfelt note. Julia, angry, shreds both shirts but Jak, anticipating her temper, gains courage and decides to confront her, guitar in hand.
Full summary:
In Chapter 20, Jak reads over a note he wrote a thousand times. It's only four sentences but it took him a long time to craft it. He wrestles with a strange idea he came up with, which leads him to pull out two white T-shirts from his closet. On one, he writes YES in big letters and on the other, NO. He attaches the note to these T-shirts with clothespins and hopes they won't drop while he's rigging everything to Julia's window - a process much more difficult than their usual clothespin-post system.
Jak impatiently paces around his room, constantly checking his watch. Has Julia received his note yet? Can he go to her? How long should he wait before he can take action? He is startled when he hears a tapping noise on his window- it's their clothespin-post system. As Jak rushes to the window, he's taken aback: Julia has sent back BOTH shirts and they are shredded to pieces. Though shocked, Jak begins to laugh; it's a classic Julia move when she is angry. This gives him a boost of courage. After all, he knows Julia well, her tempers and how quickly they pass. Jak then grabs his guitar, runs his hand through his hair and sprints down the stairs.
