Millie finds herself growing increasingly attracted to Agatha, especially as Agatha asks her contextual questions about student life. Agatha confides in her that coming to Fayetteville was something “[she] wanted to do for [herself]” (202).

Millie is too nervous to share her crushes with her friends for fear of defining her sexuality. She differentiates her crush on Josh as being emotional and spiritual while her crush on Agatha is physical and sensual. Thanks to her crushes, she is too distracted to interfere with Colette’s plan to copy Tyler’s Halloween decorations.

Kennedy’s potential friendship with Shea fizzles out, and she finds herself envious of Peyton for finding a friend of her own, named Simi.
