Chapter 3 Summary

At home, Maureen is still angry at her parents for putting her in Cadet Corps even though they knew she wanted to be in P.E. with Fran. Her parents say they thought it would benefit the twins to have some classes apart. When Fran arrives, Maureen tells her that their parents purposely gave them different schedules and put Maureen in Cadet Corps to improve her self-confidence. Maureen wants to switch their schedules so they can share all their classes, but Fran doesn’t want to. Fran already knew that there was no computer fluke; she asked their parents to place them in different classes because she is tired of everyone treating them like they’re interchangeable. Maureen feels betrayed, but Fran insists that Maureen could benefit from Cadet Corps because she really does have low self-confidence, as evidenced by the fact that she is eating lunch alone in the library.

Francine says they’ll feel better in the morning and invites Maureen to help her with her student council campaign. Maureen declines and reveals that she’s running for student council, too, but she won’t if Fran doesn’t want her to. Fran says it’s okay—she still wants to do some activities with Maureen, just not everything.
