In chapter 14 of Flipped, Juli Baker returns to school after the dinner with the Loskis, firmly believing she is over Bryce Loski, but she experiences a shift in her feelings during the Basket Boys voting.
Here's a breakdown of the key events:
- Return to School: Juli is back in school following the Loski dinner. At this point, she is convinced that her feelings for Bryce have completely diminished, and she believes she has moved on from her long-standing crush.
- Basket Boys Voting: When it's time for the class to vote for the Basket Boys, Juli deliberately chooses not to vote for Bryce. Instead, she casts her votes for five other boys whom she considers to be "nice guys," signaling her supposed detachment from Bryce.
- Unexpected Reaction: Despite her efforts to convince herself she's over Bryce, Juli experiences a "super funky" feeling later when she sees Bryce's name listed among the chosen Basket Boys. This unexpected emotional reaction suggests that her feelings for him are not as resolved as she had believed.
The chapter highlights Juli's internal conflict and the subtle ways her emotions regarding Bryce continue to influence her, even when she tries to deny them.
