Sealed with a Diss


Well, The PC did it. They now have the ah-mazing room for 8th grade. Also, they must bring A-list boys to Skye's end of the year bash. Massie schemes to get Skye set up with Chris Abeley. Also, they spy from the room on the boys at Briarwood during a sharing class from a device in the room that is hidden in a stuffed bear in the boys classroom. Damage is done to Briarwood and OCD will have boys the next school year. The boys wind up getting angry at The PC in the end. Again, we are here to focus on Relational Aggression so here we go.


The PC and Layne are at GLU Headquarters which is the spa on the Block Estate. Layne is there because she and Claire were suppose to study math but wires were crossed in communication. So, while Layne is there The PC texts in front of her and talk badly about her.


Texting itself in front of others is rude! This is nothing more than mean behavior on The PCs part. The good thing is that Layne is not affected because she knows how they behave and she does not want to be a part of the group. She was only there killing time. Once again, manners gone bad.


Skye, who is the 8th grade Queen Bee stops Massie in the school halls. She wants to make sure Massie comes through on her date with Chris or Massie will be sorry. Oh and lets not forget that Skye is wearing a tiara!


Threats are threats bottom line. Skye has threatened Massie right here. This tiara is only a symbol of the power she has over others. Once again, power is an issue and Skye is throwing it around in her threats.


Massie has organized the complete day of the party. She has made a video and step by step on what they are to wear, do their hair and make-up, how to act and basically exist. If someone does not obey then they are to go bald to the party. No exceptions!


Okay, I would think at 12-years-old that one would be able to choose what to wear and how to dress in general. Is something wrong with this picture? Another threat and that is if they do not obey then they go bald? Once again Massie is controlling and once again her friends are feeding her power. Is it worth it? What happens when these girls grow up? Cater to another Queen Bee? These social roles are sick and make sure your child does not fall into them.


This is a short entry as the book dealt more with boy/girl relationships than Relational Aggression. However, I did want to point out the places this was occurring.
