Fangirl Chapter 5 Summary

  • Progress: Cath's letting Levi into their room when Reagan's not home instead of making him sit in the hall.
  • She's also going to dinner in the dining hall with Reagan, where they snark on everyone who walks by their table.
  • We learn that Levi is (1) a Starbucks employee, and (2) eating Cath's protein bars behind her back.
  • The problem with developing a social life is that Cath's falling behind on posting chapters of Carry On, Simon to Fanfixx.net.
  • This is an issue when your pieces get 35,000 hits a day and your fans are clamoring for more.
  • Cath's busy trying to wrap up all Gemma T. Leslie's loose ends, one of which is staging the final battle between Simon and his nemesis, the Insidious Humdrum.
  • She posts a note of apology to her fans and goes to meet her classmate Nick in the library. Professor Piper has assigned them to write a collaborative story with another person, and Cath and Nick are working together.
  • Levi walks Cath to the library since it's late, and talks to her about range management—specifically, buffalo.
  • Cath and Nick hand the paper back and forth, taking turns writing, and Cath gets a little fangirlish about Nick. Go, Cath, go.
  • So of course she names the narrator after Nick, and then she makes him gay.
  • They work on their story until late at night, and Cath calls the sleeping Reagan to say she's coming back to the room.
  • Levi comes to walk her home, because he's the nicest roommate's-ex-boyfriend in the whole world.
  • And by the way, he tells Cath, he loves the library; it's where he sleeps.
