In chapter seven, Tom and his best friend Joe Harper found a way to entertain themselves during class. Tom pulled a tick out of his pocket and they were playing with it until the teacher broke it up. Tom met up with Becky and they practiced drawing his hand on hers. Then Tom asked her to get engaged. Tom said "You only just tell a boy you won't have anybody else ever and the you kiss and that's all" as an answer when Becky asked what an engagement was. But she got upset when Tom said "Why me and Amy Lawrence-". After that she wouldn't respond to to Tom and so he left and sat in the woods. While he was hiking into the woods Becky went looking for him but could't find him. Those were the major events in chapter seven.
