Chapters 10 - 12 Summary

In History class, Thomas Mackee spends the entire hour pouring over a music sheet he's trying to decode into tabular. Annoyed, Francesca grabs the sheet music and passes it to Justine Kalinsky, who deciphers it in less than ten minutes. He grunts his thanks. On the bus on the way home, Justine and Francesca sit together. When the bus next stops, Michaela and Natalia, two of Francesca's Stella friends, board the bus and come rushing toward her. They shriek and babble with gossip about the upcoming party - one that Francesca hasn't been invited to. Francesca is shocked when Tina, her arch-enemy and Stella's, joins her friends in their conversation. When she confronts Michaela about why she's hanging out with Tina, Michaela rolls her eyes and says that Tina was only mean to Francesca and that she shouldn't take it personally...
