At the date, Ginny tells Hunter about where she's from. However, he tells her to skip over the "typical first-date stuff" and get to the "juicy bits" of their lives. He proves himself to be funny, and Ginny is surprisingly enjoying herself. When Hunter drops her off, Ginny gets super nervous and instead of kissing her, he hugs her.

### It's a Face Not a Mask

The next morning, she gets a text from Hunter saying he’s sorry, but he was really busy with homework and ended up falling asleep.

Ginny and friends attend Battle of the Bands, where Hunter will be performing. Before Hunter goes on stage, Ginny tells him that she feels he doesn’t like her.

Afterward, Hunter tells Ginny that he didn’t respond to the photo because he respects her. Ginny tells Hunter that she wants him to think she’s hot.

Ginny’s father Zion turns up at the school with his leather jacket and motorbike helmet on. Hunter introduces himself as Ginny's boyfriend. In class, Ginny reads out her "where I most belong" essay. The students love it, and Maxine rallies the applause. However, Ginny doesn’t win the round, Hunter does, which frustrates Ginny.

Hunter hooks up with Ginny in her room, and he’s nervous about taking it further. Ginny brings up the essay, where Hunter tells her that her essay was unconventional and the “rules were the rules”, further supporting the evidence that he does not understand her as much as Marcus.
