Summary:

Stacey left dinner for the library where two hours later Chad found her. He said he likes her because she is like none of the other girls. Meaning he can be himself. Ambers then comes and they both are going to Stacey's room for Drea. They still are not talking but they all agree to go to Veronica's. They all barge into Veronica's room and Drea notices her handkerchief in Veronica's jewelry box. Veronica said Drea put it in her mail box. Stacey then realizes that handkerchief was with the stolen laundry. They then all have to leave because if they don't stop harassing her, she will them.

Stacey, Drea, and Amber all are with Veronica throughout the day to protect whether she likes it or not. They go to the Hangman, dinner, the library, and end up sitting outside her room. Amber then leaves to get a snack. Leaving Drea and Stacey finally talking. They thought it was weird that Veronica knew their middle names. Drea can't believe that Veronica still thinks the stalker is her when she has been protecting her all day. Amber comes back an hour later because she had no money. Stacey realizes she hasn't heard movement in Veronica's room in a while. Drea then picks the lock on her door. Suitcases are out and figure out the Veronica left by using the fire escape. Drea then picks the lock on the jewelry box to get her handkerchief. But when open she finds a note "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. They thought why did she still have the note?

They then notice an email from Chad saying he found her cheat sheets and stash them in the french room.. She needs to get them before the teacher finds them. They then all run but when there Drea has a panic attack. Stacey notices the classroom is different too. Amber rushes to get campus police but brings back Donovan and Chad. Donovan helps Drea because he is worried and also used to get panic attacks. The ambulance arrives leaving Chad and Stacey alone to watch Veronica. 

Response:

Chad pulls out the same juicy line every guy does. He likes her because she is not like the other girls and he can be himself. That is so overdone but still very sweet. I can see now why Veronica thinks it was Drea but really the handkerchief was too obvious. Stacey, Drea, and Amber are being stalkers themselves because are following Veronica. Their intentions are good though. Good stalking. Why MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS? This is making me think it is Chad. Telling Veronica to get off of Drea or Stacey's case. I mean he is in the wrong place at every wrong time. The phone and now her panic attack. Unless Chad is secretly stalking Stacey because Drea's stalker gave him cool ideas. Donovan though is has good reasons to be where he is but Chad does not. Donovan just seems like a lovable guy. He can't be the stalker.

I found a really good line in this section. I personally like this quote because today too I was angry and wanting to punch someone. Well not actually punch but more in the line of what Stacey was thinking.

"The sight of her calm little self makes me want to rip the pen right out of her hand and scribble all over her face"

I had fun scribbling on her face. You win if you see the frog!
