"The truth about forever" [1-13]

I just started the book The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen. So far it is about this teenager, Macy who is going out with this really smart guy Jason. He is getting ready to head off to "brain camp" so she is helping him get sorted and saying good bye to him for the summer.
By the time we'd covered that, then finished the main list- stopping to cover two other sub- headings, toiletries and miscellaneous- Jason seemed pretty much convinced he had everything. Which did not, however, stop him from continuing to circle the room, mumbling to himself. It took a lot of work to be perfect. If you didn't want to break a sweat, there was no point in even bothering.

This paragraph tells us a lot about Macy's boyfriend, Jason. You can tell from this passage that he is very organized and wants to make sure he leaves nothing behind. I can relate to him because whenever I go somewhere I do the same. I make a list of everything I need to bring with me and go through the list crossing stuff off as I pack it. After I have done that I go around my room one last time just to make sure I'm not missing anything.
