Stacey's Ex-Best Friend! Part The End!
Hey, guys! First I'd like to thank you for listening to my little song and rating it. I see now that it's just me who's creeped out by it. Must have been having an undead serial killer after me in an apartment made of flesh. Although the other Silent Hill song that creeps me out had nothing scary happening so I don't get it. Well, there was a lot of foreboding atmosphere. Anyway, I'm listening to much happier music and wrapping up my snark. Let's go!
Part 1!
Part 2!
Chapter 11
The BSC prepare for their dumb kids Valentine's shindig. Booooorring!
Oops. I meant 'Serious bidness!' But really, no one cares, right? Moving on.
Stacey and Laine are getting ready for their dance and Laine is wearing-'Black leotard, long black jacket, black leggings over black stockings, black shoes. Her jewelry was silver, though. And big.' Okay a leotard with leggings sounds super ugly. But that just might be me not liking tucked in shirts. At least throw a useless belt on. Just thinking about the waist of that outfit makes me shake my head. Maybe she has the jacket buttoned up which would be more tolerable. Maureen says they look at least 15 and Laine is like 'People tell me I look at least 18' and yuck. I'm sorry but I just picture skeevers telling her this. Isn't that an excuse they often use? That so-and-so girl looked 18! I never realised that there's so much discomfort in these books. But maybe my Tumblr overrun mind just reads too much into it.
When they get ready to go, Laine, the snob, can't believe that Maureen is gonna drive them. She says the boys are supposed to pick them up in their cars and what? Does she expect 13 year olds to have their driver's license? Stacey even points out that even the all powerful King can't drive yet. This is supposed to show that Laine is so grown-up and snobby but it just makes her look like an idiot. Good job.
Chapter 12
At the dance Pete got Laine a corsage but he drops it and it's immediately trampled by a wild herd of kids. But Laine doesn't care. Why should she? You may not have picked this up with the writing being so subtle and all, but Laine is a tiny bit snobby now. They go inside and ooh and aww over the decorations and Laine says only 2 year olds would be impressed. Stacey finally tells Laine to shut up but it doesn't say what her reaction was.
All through the dance Laine complains about everything. The food, the band, having to be at a dance with lower grades. Something that I remember sticking out was that Laine says sixth graders shouldn't be allowed because they have no muscle control and Stacey snaps that Jessi is in sixth grade. No mention of Mal of course! Ann must really hate Mal to have Stacey protect her token black friend and not her token ginger friend. Because Mal is a spaz with no muscle control.
Laine, that snobby bitch, turns down a dance with Pete then immediately dances with some random guy. Aww, I'll dance with you, Pete. Oh, wait no I won't because I'm old enough to be your mom. I know, I'll trade Pokemon with you. You can have a Bulbasaur~ Stacey has had enough of Laine's snobby bullshit and tells her off. Laine gets pissed and says she wants to go back to New York. Yeah, go back and get eaten by roaches, you snob. Or get stomped on by Clover.
Chapter 13
Maureen comes to pick them and asks what happened. They sorta explain but really just snap at and blame each other. Maureen calls Mrs. Cummings and they get into a fight. They drive Laine to the train station and Stacey realises she'll probably never seen Laine again. I feel bad for Stacey losing her life-long friend but at the same time Laine was never really fleshed out as a character so there's no big loss over her leaving the series. Kinda like when Amy died on The Walking Dead. It was just 'meh'. I don't even think she had her looks described and you know how much Ann loves describing what her characters look like.
Chapter 14
Now with the Laine drama gone this book is mad boring. Stacey makes some calls to apologise to everyone about Laine being a snob. She asks her mom if she's ever going to speak to Mrs. Cummings again and Maureen says she doesn't know but they'll probably make up. Stacey gets ready to go to the dumb kid party and who cares? This is seriously one of the most boring subplots ever.
Chapter 15
Stacey is having some heavy thoughts about her friendship with Laine. She wonders what made Laine act like a snob and whether she wants to make up or not. I could have sworn that she also wondered that if she had stayed in New York would she have become a snob too. But it doesn't come up. So I guess that depth just came from my imagination. She decides to write a letter to Laine explaining how she changed and that their friendship is over. She then invites Claudia over to watch the home shopping channel and order more clowns. And on that confusing note, we're out. So next will be Dawn's Family Feud and I'm already cry-laughing over what a heinous bitch Dawn is. Thanks for reading!
