Queen B Theory Page



Welcome to the Queen B Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Queen B series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Changed story setting: It is believed that this story was originally supposed to take place in a high school. Several players have stated that the students' obsession with popularity and their social standing feels more akin to high school students than college students. It is possible that during the planning process, the setting of the story was changed after the writers decided to make Professor Kingsley a love interest.
 * Veronica's ranking: After the reveal that Veronica has more followers than Poppy and only ranks lower than her because Poppy profits from Veronica's popularity, it is believed that, for example if the player doesn't manage to outrank Poppy, Veronica will become 1st on the ranking or that we have the chance to make her number 1 if we do manage to outrank Poppy. While at the end of the book, only Chloe or MC can outrank Poppy, this can still come true if Book 2 is about the student rankings too.
 * Ranking: It is believed that we will have a choice at the end to become number 1 or to abolish the ranking altogether, probably depending on if we play as good or bad girl. Buying diamond options helps to improve rankings.
 * Losing popularity: Given the fact that we can gain a lot of popularity very fast during the first two chapters depending on (premium) choices, it is theorized that gaining popularity will get harder once we rank relatively high and/or that something will happen that will make us lose popularity and force us to regain our ranking, given that something similar happened in Platinum. At the end of the book, the photo of MC and Professor Kingsley holding hands is published which may have such a result in Book 2.
 * Zoey will end up being an antagonist: It is believed that Zoey might end up being an antagonist. Some have stated that her behavior comes across as hypocritical because she hates Poppy for flaunting her social status, yet treats Benji poorly because of his social status. She leaves our squad in Chapter 11, only to rejoin in Chapter 13 after we apologize to her for putting our social status before her.
 * Series will end at Book 2: With the revelation that Book 1 takes place during our junior year, it is believed that Book 2 will be the last book of the series and the finale will see us graduating.
 * Identity of X: Many players have theorized the identity of X is Benji, given that he used to hack the student rankings. Alternately, some believe Lexi is X as she sees MC as a threat and is also at the place when the photo is taken.
 * New Love Interests in Book 2: Many players have theorized we will get new love interests in Book 2, similar to the Perfect Match series.
 * Poppy Min-Sinclair: Since we can flirt with her throughout Book 1 an get intimate with her in Chapters 7 and 15, many players believe she will get a redemption arc and become a love interest in Book 2. Alternately, many players have theorized your character will work with her in Book 2 to find out the identity of X. This is further strengthened as one of the book leads revealed we are able to pursue a relationship with her in Book 2 continuously in the Q&A video on September 3, 2021.
 * Carter Jackson: In Book 1, the narration implies how we can "steal" Poppy's boyfriend. We can also get intimate with him and recruit him as an ally in Book 1, Chapter 11.
 * Veronica Lombardi: She is the only squad member who appears on the cover of Book 1 and doesn't act rude toward us. We can recruit her as an ally in Book 1, Chapter 8 and get intimate with her in Chapter 11.
 * Chloe St. James: We can make out with her in Book 1, Chapter 11 and recruit her as an ally in Chapter 14.
 * Book 2's release date: It is believed Book 2 will be set to take the place of A Very Scandalous Proposal, making Book 2 a Wednesday book. Otherwise, it will probably take the place of The Nanny Affair, Book 2, making it another Friday book.
 * Poppy's fate: Many players have different theories regarding Poppy's fate in Book 2.
 * Disappear: Some players believe Poppy will drop out from Belvoire University and will not make an appearance in Book 2.
 * Antagonist: Poppy will not drop out from Belvoire and continually act as your character's enemy.
 * Redemption and become an Ally: Poppy will get a redemption arc and work with you to find out the identity of X. Many players also believe she will become a love interest throughout the redemption.
 * On September 3, 2021, PB released a Q&A video and confirmed Poppy will return in Book 2. However, there is no indication whether Poppy will act as MC's enemy or redeemed herself.

Confirmed Theories

 * Gender-Locked: Due to the title of the book, premise of playing as a school "queen bee", and the recent romance release trend, it is possible that this book will be gender-locked. This has been confirmed in Chapter 1 as you can only play as a female MC.
 * New girl: According to the first sneak peeks, it is possible that your character will be the new girl at school. This could mean that the "mean girls" will possibly be the antagonists of the book. If this theory is correct, there's a chance that Zoey Wade will be one of your character's love interests, since she defends the new girl on one of these sneak peeks. This has been confirmed as you are known as the new girl in Belvoire in Chapter 1. Zoey Wade also has been confirmed as a love interest as you can gain romance points by flirting with her.
 * Premium posse members: After the announcement that the MC will need her very own posse against Poppy, players have theorized that they will have to pay diamonds to recruit some members. This is confirmed in Chapter 3, when you have to pay diamonds to recruit Penelope Dogwood.
 * Benji will end up being an antagonist: It is believed that Benji will catch on to the fact that the MC and Zoey treat him poorly and will retaliate against them. In Chapter 9, Benji is revealed as an antagonist as he stole several items you own.
 * Missing items: As a result of the above theory, it's believed that he took the items you have reported as missing. It's also theorized that one of them or someone else may have taken them in order to set you up and/or out your relationship with the professor. At the end of Chapter 9, it's confirmed that Benji stole the items to build a shrine.

Debunked Theories

 * Ride or Die faces: It's possible that the book will recycle the faces from Ride or Die because of the story's high school setting, and the Ride or Die protagonist is a high schooler. This has been debunked as the story doesn't take place in high school but in college, and the MC faces come from It Lives Beneath.
 * The T Mastermind: There are multiple suspects on who is behind the T. However, they are all debunked when Thomas Stiles reveals he is the editor of the T.
 * Professor Kingsley: As a professor and faculty member, he/she probably knows most students well and may even have access to their confidential information. Moreover, he/she admits to researching the university's social dynamics despite his/her claim of not caring about gossip and drama. This is strengthened by the way the narration notes that you still need to read his/her thesis and how s/he reacts to seeing you in Chapter 8 and how s/he looks lost at the end of the chapter. It's theorized that The T may stand for The Teacher and/or The Thesis.
 * Zoey: She is the one default posse member who helps the MC rise to the top and informs her of her change in rank. Her position in the middle of the list gives her the convenient position to hide among ordinary students in her plot to take Poppy down. Moreover, making Zoey the mastermind who rises to the top by manipulating the MC, only to regret doing it and expose herself would give her a great storyline.
 * Benji: He's dead last in the T and is the RA of the MC and Zoey's dorm. Moreover, he appears regularly, and your answer to him in Chapter 2 affects the MC's reputation despite his position. It's possible he created the website to alter Belvoire's status quo. This is strengthened in Chapter 9 with the text you find about Poppy on his laptop.
 * Poppy: Her immense wealth and extensive connections probably gives her the incentive to create a website dedicated to ranking students, with herself at the top.
 * Chloe: Despite her seeming lack of intelligence, she could actually be smarter and more diabolical than she seems.
 * Veronica: She exploits the drama between Poppy and the MC for her personal blog, and the T is a convenient way to create it.
 * Standalone: Since the book was supposed to be a VIP book, and none of the VIP books has been confirmed as a series so far, it is believed that the book will be a standalone. Besides that, some players have theorized the plot may be cut short due to controversial issues (such as professor and student relationship). This is debunked as Book 2 was confirmed in the finale of Book 1.
