Isn't it weird that the only known gay students at Hester High are Shane, Amy and faker-in-the-streets/denier-in-the-sheets Karma? All of Shane's boyfriends, all of the women Amy has considered come from off campus. Granted, there are dozens of other constituencies that have to have a token.
And why is Lauren the only person in this school who (sometimes) has even a hint of a Texas accent?
