Alicia's bright blonde and ginger-brown hair are in pigtails, which bounce as she moves to eat her brownie, sitting next to Rachel and Brooke in algebra class. Rachel and Brooke are chit-chatting about the winter formal and Dustin Thome's failed attempt at asking Savannah Reed to dance at Brooke’s party. Brooke uses harsh terms, calling him a “twerp” and an “ugly hobbit.” Alicia, with a goofy grin and talking with her mouth full, butts into the conversation. “Guys, are you taking anyone to the winter formal? I’m not taking Chase because, unfortunately, he broke up with me…” She frowns. Brooke calls her a clingy girlfriend, saying that’s the reason he broke up with her. Alicia shrugs, attempting to appear nonchalant, but that comment hurts a lot. She just has attachment issues that she’s trying to overcome. As Rachel and Brooke return to chit-chatting, Alicia slowly feels like a third wheel in their friendship. She notices Dustin walking into class and sitting down, while Rachel and Brooke look at him in disgust.Rachel and Brooke starts to badmouth Dustin behind his back.
