Chapter 4:

> The literary Raymond Jardine spent one semester avoiding the salad bar selections of his friend Ashley, which is where my mind goes when Brendan Espinoza narrates his nature documentary about Brittany and Latisha and their lunchtime proclivities in the Hiawassee Middle cafeteria.

> How could anyone help but love Brendan with that sort of character introduction?!? His Latinized scientific classifications for the cheerleaders and football players and school klutz are all perfect.

> Chase’s stock goes up in my estimation by his choice of Fig Newtons.

> The nicknames Chase’s victims give to him really say it all: Alpha Rat, now Apex Predator.

@Logan: I’m glad you pointed out that Aaron and Bear have some redeemable quality, at least. They definitely do show some loyalty to Chase.

@Marlo: Agree 💯 about the cafeteria filming being hilarious!
