      He’d be saying “my walk of this is kind of warm and squishy, ew”.

          Makes sense. I do think the nature of jennifers arc is to probbbbably eventually come back around to to being more active in the story anyway, thanks specifically to this breakup, but its possible it’ll be a long road

      Sexiled because her roomate, who unabashedly likes what she likes with no pretensions and has recently learned what self-esteem is, got to have her very first sexing with the hottest dude of Read Hall – on a single night, first try.

      AND he actually wants to (and gets to) hang out with said roommate, out in the open, and do all the romantic mushy stuff Jennifer secretly craves and resents herself for wanting – The latter being why she was yo-yoing Asher so hard until she lost him: Babygirl is convinced she can only accept a honeymoon phase if it comes within a regular crash-and-burn cycle.

      It’s worth noting this is coming immediately after her relationship imploded. Granted, the relationship had clearly needed to end, and she’s still very blatantly in love with Ruth, who in turn has her own boyfriend, and now her ex has a dude, too, which Raidah basically told her about if I recall?

      So, getting kicked out so Lucy could get her horn on and now the two being uber-sappy is going to be more obnoxious to her than it otherwise would be.

      I doubt this has too much to do with Lucy and Jacob, and more with her own self-image about being the person who knows how things work being shattered once again when Asher simply ignored her and broke up, rather than changing and doing whatever she wanted to get back with her.

      If Asher had gone back to her she’d probably riding her high horse about how her brooding angst-ridden relationship was more real than Lucy’s saccharine fling with Jacob.

      Jennifer just bombed her relationship on purpose because it reminded her of something she doesn’t like about herself. She was denied drama from it too.

      Not only was she sexiled by the people she’s walking to class with, they’re also (to her) probably rubbing their healthiness and sincerity in her face because that’s something she can’t do.

        to be fair Jennifer did previously give Lucy’s last bf that exact treatment unprompted and the last time Lucy tried to hook up in her room Jennifer deliberately stayed to cockblock them the last time Lucy was polite about it. I saw her being more forceful as her saying to Jennifer you will not ruin it for me this time.

        Technically, it’s a one-page splash, not a “proper” Slipshine.

        But it definitely confirmed coitus, nonetheless.

      They fucked. He put his penis inside of her vagina and then moved it around a bunch. She got her boobs out and he touched them on purpose. It’s canon and there’s nothing any of us can do to stop it.

    Welp, Walky’s ex girlfriend along with Joyce’s ex attempt-at-home-wrecking/Sarah’s ex attempt-at-sharing-her-feelings are about to meet up with said Walky, Joyce, and Sarah so they can all go to class.

    And this won’t be awkward at all, especially not because Walky saw Jacob’s Other Jacob in the shower once and can make a reasonable guess about where it’s been.

        not sure Radiahs group is even popular, Lucy thought it was because she looks up to Jennifer, besides her i don’t see anyone being impressed by them. Radiah wants it to be the students of elites clique but so far she’s doing a terrible job keeping people in.

        Raidah is charismatic, manipulative, outgoing, has good grades, and knows some people with high-class connections outside of school. Also, she usually has at least one or two friends on hand to back her up at any given time. Most of the cast has at least a few of those qualities, but not all of them, and thus Raidah is able to present a much more convincing impression of “popularity” than anyone in the main cast!

        Sure, there’s a pretty high TURNOVER in her group of minionsfriends, between Dana, Sarah, Jacob, Chan, Char, Asher, and (possibly) Jennifer, but that should be fine as long as she keep finding NEW suckerslonely people in need of a kind, supportive, group of friends with strong leadership and organization!

          the more I think about Radiahs high turnover and the fact that she doesn’t have a single person from her own year besides Carl makes it even worse then I originally thought, apparently only people younger and less experienced at student networking then her are impressed with her and Carl.

      I don’t know if she can GET more irrational. From the lunch with Raidah where Jennifer spent the whole time being ashamed of Walky as a reminder of her childhood while at the same time desperately clinging to Walky as a reminder of her childhood and onward, she has seemed to me completely consumed by the irreconcilable difference between what she wants out of life (nerd stuff, the comfort of family relationships) and what she’s telling herself she wants (high status hobbies, drama and friends who will make her look important and cool).

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
