A large sum left to Riverport High’s basketball teams becomes the centre of a dispute: the boys’ team claims it alone, while the girls’ team argues it should be shared.
Marley’s excitement about Jeff asking her out is placed under strain when the girls declare a romantic freeze: no dates, kissing or hand-holding until the boys give in.
Some attention may be useful around the “romantic freeze”: the story links dates and physical affection with a collective demand for agreement.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
