‘It's pointless to ask for anything in era of GOC single LI books, but I want more mean/villain female love interests. People say they're overdone and I'm like???where??? Xante (ACOR)? Olivia (TRR)? Sofia (TNA)? Danielle? (Class Act)? Aurora (OH)? None of them are LIs 😞’

‘NGL I actually hate how PB treated Danielle in HSS:CA. We talk about how awful she was, which is true, but I don't think we talk enough about how PB actually wrote it. I appreciate them trying to make her more realistic (or at least less outwards as an antagonist) than the OG antagonists and trying to flesh her out a little more in that one premium scene, but they literally dropped the ball with her after Book 1's arc. OG's antagonists worked because even if they were supposedly a bit more unrealistic, they had a much stronger presence in the stories. They were allowed to be a lot more versatile and dynamic, and they actually got closure at the ends of their respective stories. Even Max and Kara, who were the weakest of the OG antags. Characters like Zoe and Brian actually even got some character development over the trilogy (technically Brian got worse as the trilogy went on, but it worked and point is we saw him go into a different place as a character from how he was in Book 1). But with Danielle, she just gets written off into irrelevance once she can no longer compete with MC over Rory (oh wow, another female antagonist who exists solely to be a straw loser to compete with the MC over a love interest, yay). We literally never see her again outside of that one cameo in Book 2– she says she has been going to therapy only if you took that premium scene to help her turn over a new leaf. And I mean, it's good that they tried to have her change as a character, but it has about as much value as a Family Guy cutaway gag. So she felt very half-baked to me honestly.’

Imagine if you will that in book 1 of Class Act Danielle tried to turn the older kids (og MC’s friends) against Class Act’s MC before the whole audition debacle happens. She saw the two MCs talking and walked over to Maria, og MC’s girlfriend, known to be a bit jealous, and said, “Wow, I can’t believe she’d flirt with your girlfriend right in front of you like that.”
Maria stood there in stunned silence for a minute before she burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny? Shouldn’t you go tell her off or something?” Danielle asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
Maria wiped a tear from her eye before responding, “Yeah, I’ll get right on that. I’m sure my girlfriend will be thrilled to know someone was concerned about her little cousin talking to her. How scandalous.”
Danielle’s eyes went wide as a blush overtook her face before walking away in a shameful silence.
I’d like to think that Maria would then tell this story to the Class Act MC when they hangout with the og squad after being shunned by almost everyone to show that there are people out there who know that Danielle is full of it and that the truth would come out eventually.
I get that he's director and everything, but he shouldn't be so vindictive to the first person being accused of. Isn't he supposed to be a visionary and all that shit? Seeing the whole story????? 😒😒
HSS MC and the original gang are the best.
They like literally adopted new MC into their group 💞💞💞💞 my cute babies are getting along well...
Skye, Erin and the twin are the only valid friends in HSSCA.
They are defending and encouraging new MC all the way. I'm willing to die for them already. Like Ajay who?? Watch him be forgiven so easily coz we simply don't have a choice but to do so.
Beanie electronic theater guy is on thin ice.
He's hella suspicious. Why is he so insistent on pinning it on MC. Like yeah, he did inventory. So if he did, why not show the wheel-less cubes?
MC doesn't really need to explain herself to any of them.
At first, I was not feeling good about Rory then I heard about his mom and how he brushed off the accusations on MC so boy was cleared on my book. But Natalie and Clint?? Who the hell are you peasants?? They're worse than Bowman and Sutton.
No MC should have to explain themselves to something they didn't do and to someone who wouldn't listen to them anyway.
I bet a whole lot of my diamonds Danielle is the one. We all knew that since first chapter, like duhhh.
