Massie is presented as the uncontested ruler of the group and wider school social scene, while Alicia may seek her position.
Claire has arrived but may not remain in Massie’s inner circle, and the group is described as difficult to enter and stay within.
Kristen is described as able to reduce someone to tears with insults, including language connected to being a scholarship student; Dylan is described as seeking Massie’s approval.
It also links one character’s insult to being a scholarship student, so class or economic difference may deserve attention when reading.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
