Friction by E.R Frank is the kind of book that shows you who your true friends really are. This book is based on the idea that you always have to be carefully who you befriend. Alex the girl narrating this book has a mixture of ideas in her mind. Stacy who is the new girl in school,comes in and ruins the whole flow of things. Alex is kinda forced into taking Stacy under her wing,but Alex doesn't seem be upset anymore when she sees what Stacy looks like,"She's got shiny black hair down to her behind and grey eyes that take up her whole face"(2).
To Alex, Stacy is the kind of girl you want to be around. She has a tongue piercing that flashes every time she talks,shes not the kind of girl that goes to Alex's school. When Stacy gets there she immediately makes herself be known. She starts saying things that are complete lies. For instance she thinks Tom and Alex are dating,but they have been bestfriends since they were in diapers, they are more like brother and sister. Then Stacy tells Alex that she thinks that she has the hots for their teacher simon.
Alex gets so confused about Stacy and doesn't know what to do. Then Stacy comes out of nowhere and tells Alex that her father is dead, she tells her not to tell ANYONE. Then that gets her more confused because she never keeps secrets from Tom. I think Stacy is lying about her father for some reason, I think she just wants a sob story for Alex to feel bad for her.
This book is getting quite interesting I just can't wait to see what happens next, am I right about Stacy or is she really a genuine person inside?
