While balancing there she hears Cass’s name being called.


On her first performance with the cheerleaders at half time at a game, Caitlin is at the top of a pyramid formation. Caitlin stays on the cheerleading team for her mother’s sake, but does not enjoy it. This pleases her mother, as she views it as a way for Caitlin to keep her mind off of her sister leaving the family. Eventually, though, she gives in and makes the squad. Meanwhile Caitlin’s best friend, Rina, persists in encouraging her to join the cheerleading team at school, but Caitlin refuses. Her angry father tells Cass how disappointed in her he is. A search is mounted, but before she is located, Cass calls to tell her parents that she is with her boyfriend, Adam. Making the situation more troubling for the girls’ parents is the fact that, in just two weeks, Cass is scheduled to begin her college education at Yale University. Caitlin’s family forgets that it is her birthday. The first section, “Cass,” opens on the sixteenth birthday of protagonist Caitlin O’Koren, when it is discovered that her eighteen-year-old sister, Cass (Cassandra) has run away.
