Lit Circle #2: Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys

In part 2 of Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys, Megan started school already and she was kind of struggling. Well, more than just struggling. She encountered some troubles. So we all know that Megan likes the senior, Evan. Well, actually, she doesn’t really like him that much. She just think he’s hot and good looking and stuff. Plus Evan has a girlfriend named Hailey Farmer, also known as “Queen Bitch Farmer” according to her younger sister Aimee Farmer. Hailey and Aimee are both in the soccer team that Megan tried out for. Megan was actually pretty good. Hailey got pissed and was jealous because she thought Megan was good too. So starting from that point, Hailey started giving Megan the cold shoulder.
After soccer practice, Evan went to the field and waved at Megan and Hailey completely ran up to him and started making out with him. All the girls’ felt disgusted. Megan felt her heart drop. Evan called for Megan to go home. Hailey felt kind of insecure now knowing they live with each other.
That night, Evan and his friends are going out to the lagoon to watch planes take off. Evan invited Megan. When they got there, Megan saw Hailey there. Of course she would be there… When Evan left Megan and Hailey alone for a bit, Megan tried to start a friendly conversation with Hailey.

“So, Hailey, what was the team’s record lasts year?” she asked. “We won more than we lost,” Hailey said, pushing her hands into the front pockets of her tight jeans. “Why? Worried the team’s not good enough for you?”
Megan stared at her. “No. I’m just making conversation.”
“Well, we made it to counties, but we didn’t win the final…Of course, Coach thinks that with you around, it’ll happen this year.”
“Thanks,” Megan said.”
“I said, ‘Coach thinks.’”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“What?”
“Did I do something? I mean, to offend you?” Megan asked. “All I’m trying to do is settle in at a new school, maybe make some friends, play a little soccer. But you seem to really not like me.”
Megan held her breath, unable to believe that her thoughts had actually come out in a semi-coherent way. For a split second, Hailey’s face softened and Megan realized that the girl was really pretty when she didn’t have her scowl on. She even looked like she was going to say something semi-human. Then Evan broke away from the crowd with his beers and Hailey saw him coming. She glanced at Evan, then at Megan, and reached out her arm to him.
“Come on, baby,” she said, latching onto his side. “Let’s go find someplace a little more private.”

So from this giant blurb from the part two, I have to say that Hailey really does despise Megan. I’m guessing it’s because Hailey is jealous. One, because Megan is super good at soccer, and Hailey had to be a little bit more aggressive to be a little bit better than Megan, just a little bit. Megan being good at soccer kind of ticks Hailey a bit, so Hailey had to be a show off. Two, because Megan lives with a whole bunch of hot boys, and especially living with her boyfriend that Hailey feels insecure about the whole thing.

For this part of part 2, I think since Hailey is in the same soccer team as Megan. And since Megan is new to the state, and the school, Hailey really shouldn’t be a total bitch towards her. Just because she’s good at soccer and lives with 7 boys doesn’t mean she’s all that. It probably seems like it, like I guess I can tell Hailey thinks that Megan is probably a show off slut but Megan is actually a tomboy. To be honest, Hailey is the one who’s like a slut. Hailey really should think twice before she starts talking more shit about Megan and criticizing her. She should be more like the other girls in the soccer team; make her feel welcome to the new school, the new place, and have her catch up on stuff.
