    Summary

    One memory that Dan holds from that summer, although it's faded and blurry like a bad polaroid, being on the beach with Phil, just as the sun was beginning to set, casting everything around them in an orange light. Phil picks up a rock and throws it. It lands with a ker-plunk in the dark water before them, frothing against the rocks. When Phil was younger, he and his long-since-forgotten friends would perch upon the sharp rocks and watch the silvery fish dart about in the sea. Together they sit on the big, flat rock that cuts out over the waves, both flinging stones into the distance.

    “I could see myself living by the sea in the future,” Phil says.

    Summary

    Dan isn’t right. He’s not like most of the others, he’s not genetically pure. He has no destined path, he has nothing going for him in life. He’ll be lucky to get himself a job in a fast food kitchen, and everyone looks down on him like he’s a piece of dirt stuck at the bottom of their shoe. Except one person: Phil Lester.
