Reintroducing Todd, the guy that makes everyone uncomfortable. I already explained this a bit on the chapter cover, but for anyone who doesn't remember Todd, he's a junior who bullied Rudy (both physically and emotionally) during the early portions of the story. Maria and Gavin both intervened in their own ways. Hence, he's been absent from the story for a very long time.
Hundreds of pages later, he finally returns to... ask Ana to prom!? What? Not even going into all the problems with his proposal (like how he doesn't call her by name or even really ask, for just a couple of the smaller examples), his handling of rejection is also pretty scary. And then there's the fact that this seems oddly pointless. They're both juniors at the school, and as has been mentioned, underclassmen cannot attend St. Hallvard's prom without being a senior student's guest.
So... why? What is this about? Does he just not know, or is there more to it? And is there any reason it would end up being Ana?
