"Tonight," Tanner mumbles, and it's slowly starting to sink in. This really was like the surfers and bikers--but the whole school was divided. The entire thing was confusing, and Tanner lets out a sigh he didn't even know he was holding in.

All he can do is hope Danny will be there, and--wait.

"Tonight!" He yells, and it's louder at Danny's retreating back. "But Danny? Don't run away, okay? You can't just run from your problems!"

Maybe it was out of line--maybe it was out of his hands and he just blurted it, but Tanner doesn't regret it. Tanner doesn't regret a lot of things, and that includes his summer at the beach with Danny.

He just hopes the other shows.
