Teachers and parents! Our Teacher Edition on Thirteen Reasons Why makes teaching easy.
Skye was Clay’s middle-school crush. Over the course of her high school years, she’s become quieter and less involved, preferring to wear baggy clothing that makes her seem like she’s hiding. Clay finds her difficult to talk to, but Hannah’s tapes help him to see that Skye might be feeling the same way that Hannah was before she ended her life, so instead of letting Skye shut him out, Clay makes the effort to engage with her. Skye’s name is the last thing Clay says in the novel, demonstrating Clay’s commitment to learn from Hannah’s death.

The Next Day: After Mailing the Tapes Quotes

A flood of emotion rushes into me. Pain and anger. Sadness and pity. But most surprising of all, hope.

I keep walking.

Skye’s footsteps are growing louder now. And the closer I get to her, the faster I walk, and the lighter I feel. My throat begins to relax.

Two steps behind her, I say her name.

“Skye.”
