Winnie and Lauren are hounding poor Faith throughout the whole book which makes Becker seem even more appealing Lauren apparently feels nobody has ever been feminist before her. She insults Dash and basically acts like an entitled moron. She assumes that Faith won't mind her taking a nap in her dorm room (you know, the one Lauren doesn't live in anymore?) and assaults Becker by punching him in the face and kicking him in the balls Unsurprisingly, this does not endear Faith to Lauren. Liza meets Travis (Winnie's Europe trip ex) and discovers Rich evil revenge plot. She ends up completely broke, but Rich's dad is so impressed with her, she actually gets a walk-on part with 5 lines! And Travis kisses her! OOOH! Melissa is for some bizarre reason hanging out with her track nemesis, Caitli

Rich totally wants revenge on L for swiping his dummy and stuffing him under a bunch of coats and ruining his chances to be on TV. Rich, of course, discovers this after L's interview with Cody. Kimberly is accused stealing money from the dorms.Why? Basically, because she's black. Guess who the thief is? Melissa! Kimberly gets her rage on in an interview with Cody (for a guy that just showed up last book, he sure gets around fast!)
