Lena in High School

*I have finished the book*

Lena in high school would most definitely be in the sporty category.  She runs cross country and has been doing so for a while. She could also be in a popular clique, because she is best friends with Hana. The author describes Hana as someone I would imagine as popular, and since Lena is Hana's best friend, Lena could be considered popular.

I think that Lena would also be a good student. She wouldn't stand out as the best (she said she is average in every way but her height), but she would do okay. She would get A's and B's, turn in most of her work on time, listen in class (most of the time), etc. I think Lena would enjoy school because it gives her a chance to be with her friends and escape her home life for while (considering I would want to escape Jenny too). Lena probably would do well in school because she didn't meet Alex until right before she graduated. She might have been slacking a little bit close to the end, but I bet everyone just thought it was evaluation nerves.

Lena just graduated high school about halfway through the book. She interacted pretty well with the other girls at her school, but only if she wanted to. If Lena didn't like someone, her and Hana often judged that person based on who they thought they were. For example, they judged Allison Doveney as a snooty, rude girl, who's name eventually sort of saved Lena.

  1. This is a great blog post! I agree that Lena judged people kind of harshly based on what she they were like. I also agree that Lena is sporty because she likes running so much. I also think that you made a great point by saying that part of why she liked school so much was that she got to escape from her life at home.
