During the party, she hides in a bathroom, where she reads an encouraging message from Dash on a mirror. He then dares her to attend a wild, underground Hanukkah dance party hosted by two teens who call themselves the "Challah Back Boys", intending to push her outside her comfort zone. Lily writes to Dash about the worst Christmas she can remember. Later that evening, Lily thanks her uncle Sal, who turns out to be the Santa Claus actor, for his help in her plan, and he returns the notebook with a reply from Dash. The Santa Claus actor warns Dash not to mistreat their "mutual friend" before Dash takes his hat and flees, leading him and Boomer to be forcibly escorted from the mall. Dash then follows Lily's instructions to steal a Macy's Santa Claus actor's hat while Boomer distracts Jeff, an elf actor. After receiving Dash's answer to her initial clues, she visits Boomer at the Two Boots and leaves the notebook for another reply, warning Boomer not to tell "Notebook Boy" that he saw her. With encouragement and input from her older brother Langston, Lily plans to leave a notebook with cryptic clues for a potential romantic interest to read so that he might find her. Her parents and grandfather go out of town to Fiji, making her feel lonely. Lily is a shy, 17-year-old girl of mixed European and Japanese ancestry who loves Christmas but has never experienced romantic love, unlike the rest of her family. A flashback reveals he bumped into Lily as she joined some friends for Christmas carols, but they did not introduce themselves to one another. Although a security guard and an elf actor forcibly escort them out, Dash gets away with the hat and finds the author's name, Lily, sewed in front. The two ultimately follow the book's instructions to try to take a hat from a Macy's Santa Claus actor. Boomer claims that he failed to catch the mystery girl on the restaurant's security footage. The next day, he finds the notebook in a Two Boots where his best friend Boomer works. He then follows a series of clues within the notebook to begin searching for the author's identity, leaving it for her to write a reply. On the night of December 17 at the Strand Bookstore, he comes across a notebook with a message written on the front: "Do you dare?".
