Chanel says she wants to go public about her relationship with Maria. Initially, Chanel says it's because she hopes going public will stop her classmates bullying her about supposedly being in love with Brett. When Maria says coming out won't help with that, Chanel reveals the real reason: she's worried she is just Maria's rebound and that she might lose Maria to Rain.
Oof. I’m not sure which one I feel more badly for.
There’s a lot to digest here, but what are your thoughts on this whole matter? Could either girl benefit from coming out to the school about their relationship or would such a thing end in disaster? Do we think Chanel’s fears concerning Maria are plausible, or is she overreacting? Is Maria being reasonable about Chanel's concerns or not? And any thoughts on Brett, just to cover everything?
It's Brett, the January Boy. Everyone's teasing me about being a couple with him. This morning, this girl, Ashley, in my science class wrote this really dirty love note, forging my name on it and stuffing it in his locker. And then he yelled at ME over it, thinking it was authentic.
Look, Chanel. They're not going to stop teasing you if you come out saying you're dating another girl. If anything, they'll just tease harder. And Father Quenton will start getting on your case all the time.
You're still a freshman and have many years to go before you can get out of this place, and I don't want you to have to go through that if you don't have to.
