Instructions for Dancing

At graduation, Evie listens to the valedictorian, Olivia, give a speech about their high school experience with cheese as a metaphor: They’re all like aged cheese. The students throw up their caps. Evie finds Martin, who states Danica is single again. Even if Danica rejects Martin, Evie thinks he’s stronger than her to face the pain of romance.

The pair find Cassidy next. Cassidy’s famous parents attend, to her shock, and she says she’s going to Asia with them for the summer. She apologizes for missing the road trip. The three hug, and Evie knows their relationships are changing.

When Evie and Martin find Sophie, she tells them that Olivia asked her out; Olivia will be attending Stanford too, and Sophie accepted her offer of a date. Evie hugs Sophie, wishing their friend group could hang out again—but feels that their friendships aren’t any less real because they’re ending, like her mother said about her marriage.

Danica comes into Evie’s room with two dress options, though Evie hasn’t changed her mind about not attending their father’s wedding. The former wants help on deciding her own dress, and Evie picks a detailed, teal one. She thanks Evie and says she broke up with her boyfriend Archer.
