... the obsession that Angela felt towards Stacy, which the latter mistook as a lesbian crush?

Lesbian crush? Really? She wanted to be friends.

reply

Yeah if there was any hint of a lesbian crush, it was just in Angie's mind that Stacy might joke about that the next day.

I don't know how or why anyone would think it was a lesbian crush. She tells her sister that there is a girl at who isn't very nice but seems to be great at everything! She is saying she is impressed and envy's this girl because everything seems to come so easily for her. Her sister tries hard to explain that we are all who are and need to accept it because we can't be someone else and most of all we can't be the same people.

Teenagers often want to be exactly alike because in the highschool world you do not want to stand out or be different. So it was very hard for Angela accept who she was. Stacy was perfect in her eyes and that is who she wanted to be and if she couldn't be like Stacy then she was going to be in Stacy's world and her friend she could be part of it.
