Nope the most abrupt jump was from: "You're getting too conscious about this, let's just be friends" to "You will now pretend to be my female friend whenever I want you to": what does she have on him that makes him go along with all of this? I thought he is into it, but this chapter suggests he really wasn't but it was all already decided by her and he has no right to oppose.this jump was the most abrupt of all the chapters.
