Talk:High School Story: Class Act Choices/@comment-37727384-20181231194257

Uh... So because of how shocking the revelation about the play being a fundraiser for Rory's mom is, everyone suddenly forgets to be half decent and apologise to MC for being absolutely horrible to them for days. Okay :/ It was so disappointing to see Natalie responding to MC's comment like she's never called them a "lousy person", and to see MC chatting casually to Ajay - who had pretty much thrown away any pretense at impartiality at the beginning of the chapter and insinuated that MC doing it was the only reasonable explanation by responding to MC's claim that they didn't do it with "Then who did? :(" - thanks a lot, ex-favourite LI from all of Choices books...

This is exactly what I've stated I DID NOT want, being instantly friends and happy again without getting a proper apology from anyone at all. Not only do I not get even a shallow "sorry we doubted you" - let alone a sincere apology - from Clint/Natalie/Trevor/Ajay/etc., I'm also expected to spend diamonds to hear out Danielle's side of the story and decide whether to forgive her or not? I don't think so. I personally would go as far as to say I no longer feel connected to any of the characters anymore, including Erin for acting so cheerful about how we're all friends again when MC was pretty much pressured into letting everything go and continue with the play for Rory's sake, or Rory for assuming without a hint of doubt that MC will be out of the show - implying that MC will be found guilty.

The only line I can agree with in this entire chapter is (paraphrasing as I can't recall accurately) "If these are our friends, our enemies are done for!" I said "Good riddance!" when Danielle stated she'll drop out of the play. I'm afraid I feel I might just say the same for the book :(
