Recap: here’s everything I know about Kevin Joy, a.k.a. New Guy

He started at Ring City High at the beginning of the year, right around the time that JoyTech moved their corporate HQ to Ring City and opened the new plant.

He was rich, he had a nice car, he was instantly six million times more popular than I was. He threw huge parties, all the girls LOVED him, of course, but instead of going for some braindead cheerleader, he hooked up loudmouth activist extraordinaire, my best friend, Aurora Lively.

He then proceeded to argue with her about everything she believed in, tried to stop her from organizing action against JoyTech for their crooked environmental policies, and he made anyone who disagreed with him look like a crazy person.

I made the mistake of just assuming he was a rightwing douchbag. We got in a couple of fights. Whatever.

His ‘mom,’ who is young, and blonde, and suspicious as hell, came and talked to Jerry about our ‘scuffles.’ She said some threatening stuff, and actually implied that she knew things about Jerry’s past that could get him in trouble.

Then I discover that for some reason, his family is VERY interested in ME. Like, taking surveillance photos interested in me.

Then I get shook down by the giggling man, a JoyTech enforcer who tells me to stay away from New Guy, aka Kevin Joy – the guy is actually part of the royal JoyTech family!

So it now seems obvious that Kevin wasn’t just some right-wing-capitalism-is-great nutjob.
He was actually speaking for JoyTech, trying to make everybody at Ring High just as Joy-ful as he was!

And now that Aurora is in the hospital, he’s suddenly gone. Nowhere to be found, no traces left behind. Except I figured out exactly how to find him.
