Chapter 17 - Friction
There's so much things going on in this chapter. If you were one of the students in the school (either Alex, Stacy, Tim or any other student) what would you tell the police about Simon? How do you feel about all of the events in this chapter?
The whole attitude of the kid’s are different and they are so cold than ever. Finally, Alex’s parents recognize the problem and the situation calls a detective into it. Alex knows the truth and Simon is not meaning to try to touch her sexually, but Alex could not tell that Simon is innocent in front of the detective, her parents and Stacy’s father. It is so sad for Alex that everyone misunderstands her, but I am putting more attention to Simon, because no one trusts him.
Ohh!! Off course I would be Alex, Alex is a well being fair type of girl, Alex is a honest girl, Alex is the only person that I would want to be if I was to choose who I would want to be. As being myself I would be honest to the police about Simon, Simon is another type of honest person I wouldn’t hurt his feelings just lying to the police about what his done to the girls in school.. I feel pretty sad for Simon in this chapter because he was being blamed for harassing a minor in the principals office.
Yes, there is so much things going on in this chapter and I love it, however Stacy is getting to me at this point. If I was there and I was one of the student, I would tell the detective that Stacy is not telling the truth, she gathers all the correct information and made it negative to the detective. Ever since she transferred to their school, not so long after she met Alex, s he started accusing her of liking Simon or Simon liking Alex. She’s been spreading rumors she’s very nasty minded, and she demands a lot, and she won’t stop until she gets what she wants I feel bad for Simon and Alex, because of the situation they are being put in right now. I think Stacy should be punished for all the lies.
What I would tell the police is the truth because I know that simon means no harm to alex or stacy or tim. I would tell the police that simon hugs the students to make them feel like they got someone that is watching them when their parents are not there. I would tell them that simon have a girl friend so he got nothing to do with all this lies I would also tell the police that simon had never did something with alex or tim or even stacy which she is the one starting all this crazy things in the first place. In this chapter I feel like the police is working for stacy’s dad because he won’t even let simon get the chance to explain what is going on so, yeah I feel more sorry about simon and alex both at the same time.

I feel so bad for Simon because nobody wants to be near Simon and I guess that will make him feel so down and lonely. And they don’t even want to talk to Simon. I think it’s just a misunderstanding between them. Story really got my tension when detective came to the school and starts to asking those nonsense questions to Alex. But the way he talks make Alex got scared and even though Alex was telling the truth, she looked really confusing. If I was Alex, I will tell him the truth but I will protect Simon because I know Simon is innocent.
