In this book there was a lot of different feeling going on between the characters. For example, Kate's feelings was hurt when her best friend started hanging out with the cheerleaders, and Marylin forgot about Kate. This hurt Kate's feeling because Kate and Marylin had been best friends forever and Marylin was acting like Kate didn't exist. Marylin wasn't trying to make Kate feel that way but she did. Another example of the characters having different feeling is when Marylin first met Rhetta Myers. When they first met Rhetta was trying to be nice to Marylin, but Marylin was being mean to Rhetta. Marylin wanted to get her classes changed so she wouldn't have to be in a class with this new girl she thought was weird.
