So this girl is trying really hard to fit in with the popular girls at school. She try's to imitate there fashion, and do what they do in order to fit in or be popular. She is even mean to Wendy who she claims to like only in front of these girls because Wendy was apart of them but no longer is. However none of this seems to work because Julie and her "posse" are constantly nit picking little things which makes her feel left out, and won't even let her sit next to them at lunch. All she wants to do is fit in with these girls and be popular which is surprising because they are pretty nasty towards her. I don't even know why she bothers she even says to herself in her head "Grow up. Be real. Stop pretending. Leave me alone." So you can tell as the reader that this girl herself doesn't even like these girls. So in reality shes not even trying to fit in with Julie and her friends but just desires to be known as one of the "popular" girls. The ending of this story really confuses me. She goes from yelling at julie and her friends in the lunch room to collapsing then waking up in Wendy's bedroom. I think that Wendy is in-fact the narrator of this story. Wendy is the girl trying to fit in. I say this because in the end of the story it says "Wendy is sitting next to my bed drawing a picture of me as an angel in transition." and at the end says "Wendy is laying in my bed" I think this story illustrates the importance of being yourself and not conforming to anyone. Wendy was in fact putting herself down by letting these girls make her feel like a piece of garbage.
