Chapter 2

In chapter 2, Josie describes her friends and gives a brief summary about each of them.
Anna Selicic is the typical Slavic-looking girl. Long blonde hair and blue eyes with that healthy red-cheek look. Described as "the most nervous person I have ever known." She is the first they will protect whether being squashed in a concert or terrorised by the students of Cook High.
Then we have Seraphina. The most brazen person Josie has ever met. She can look at a person and lie her heart out. She can bitch about a person for hours and then turn around and crawl to them. She has black roots and blonde hair. Skinny yet voluptuous and tends to dress in whatever the latest rock or pop star is wearing.
Finally there's Lee Taylor "whose main objective in life is to hang out with wax-heads down at the southern beaches and who thinks it's cool to come to school with a hangover." Her father is an alcoholic and once came to pick her up from a birthday party, blind drunk.

This chapter is also very important because it's when she meets Jacob Coote on 'Have a Say Day'. Josie was impressed with his speech. By the end of this chapter, Josie talks about how she wishes she was in Poison Ivy's world and how she wanted to belong.

"The world of sleek haircuts and upper-class privileges. People who know famous people and lead educated lives. A world where I can be accepted."
