A character I didn't mention in my last post is a girl called Teri. Teri is your average outcast who doesn't have any friends. She has a mother who is blind and a little brother. She's a tall, big girl who uses violence to protect herself from the bullies. Kate does not really like her because Teri always bullied her in elementary school. But she's forced to be hospitable toward Teri and let her be a guest in her house when Teri's house is burned down.
Teri has a shield up when she is with people. She's automatically rude and doesn't want to open up. This is also because of the things she has gone through in her life.
Teri and Kate don't get along because both have a prejudice of the other. Kate thinks Teri is just a mean person who doesn't care about anyone else and who isn't worth her time (she'd rather spend time coming up with a plan to get into MIT). Teri thinks Kate looks down on her and bullies her around.
I predict by the end of the novel, they are going to find out they're more similar than they realize and will get along.
