Meet the Real World, Rachel — Karen McCombie

Hurray, Stella now has a small 'etc' (small and sccruffy TJ, and fat and furry Peaches), but Portbay doesn't yet feel quite like home. Maybe because popular cliquey Rachel and her sheep-like friends seem to always make a point of how Stella doesn't belong there. But when her gang start ignoring her, suddenly it's Rachel's turn to be on the outside...Stella feels sorry for her, but sorry enough to come to Rachel's rescue...?
