(Outside Reading #10) The A-List Chapter 14

In chapter 14 of the A-List by Zoey Dean, Sam and Cammie have a fight over Ben. When Cammie, Sam, and Dee all arrive at the club, Dee gets asked to dance. Dean writes,
"Parker came over to Dee. 'Dance, Dee?'
'Say no, Dee,' Cammie counseled.
'Why?'
'Never dance with a boy better looking than you are.' (Dean 117)
As you can see Cammie is not a very good friend and tries to make her friends feel bad about herself. I think that Cammie may be very insecure inside and is trying to make her self look and feel better by saying mean things like that. If one of my friends were to treat me like that I would want to stay away from them. It's no fun being around people who put you down. Anyways after all that went down, Ben and Anna arrive and Sam and Cammie get in a fight over dancing with Ben. Cammie pretends like she really needs to talk to him and leads him to a hallway where they can have some privacy. She leans in to kiss Ben but he backs away. She leans in again but is fully rejected and he walks away. I think Ben made the right decision. He tells Cammie that he really likes Anna and is not going to give that up for a quickie with her. Good for him, I wish all guys were like that.
