Holden was early for his date with Sally, so he sat down and watched all the girls around him. Then he starts talking about guys and how some of them can be so boring. He talks about a roommate he had named Harris Macklin. He was a very boring guy, the only thing he could do was whistle. Finally Sally arrives and he tells her they are going to see the Lunts and she gets all excited like he said she would. When the show ends Sally asks if he wants to go ice skating and he says sure. Neither one of them are good at ice skating, and Holden can tell that Sally's feet are hurting, so he asks if she wants to sit down and get something to drink. While they are having their drinks Holden asks Sally if she hates school. He tells her he hates it and then starts naming off this huge list of things he hates. He then asks Sally if she wants to rent a car and go to vermont and stay in a cabin and when they run out of money he could get a job and eventually they could get married. Sally is not to fond of this idea, she tries to let Holden know, but he is too caught up in the idea. Holden gets angry and calls Sally a pain in the ass and she gets very upset. Holden tries to appoligize but he wont accept her appology so he leaves.
Holden acts very strange in this chapter. He is starting to get really depressed. You can tell becuase he starts saying how he hates school and he hates living in New York. He just wants to get away from everybody and forget about his troubles.
