So far in the book Clay is still listening to the tapes and hurting with every word he hears. He liked Hannah so much that hearing what other people did to her just kills him inside. As he is leaving the diner he hears Tony call for him. Tony lets him know that Hannah was not joking about the second set of tapes because he was the one Hannah left the tapes with. Tony also lets Clay know that he (Clay) is the ninth person he has had to follow to make sure the tapes are being passed like instructed. Tony also tells Clay that he is on the next tape that he (Clay) is about to listen to and wants to drive him around whiles he listens. Tony lets Clay know that he needs to hear what Hannah has to say and that he will be surprised as to what she says. Hannah lets Clay know that he really does not belong on the tapes but he was such a big part of what happened next that she just had to put him in there. Hannah lets Clay know how she has wanted to talk to him for such a long time that she made sure her grades were up so she could go to the party that he was going to be at just so she could talk to him. Hannah tells Clay how she felt and connected with him as they were talking and that the kisses they shared meant a lot to her. Then she gets back into what the next person did to put that person back on the tapes a second time. She tells how Justin let one of his friends go into the room that Jessica passed out in and take advantage (basically rape) of her as she was passed out while Hannah sat in the closet helpless. The book is getting more interesting as it goes on. All the types of things that those teens did to one another effect all those around them and they are to tunnel visioned on themselves to see it until Hannah opens their eyes to what was happening to each other.
