SIXTH-GRADE glommers, norks, and me #2

SIXTH-GRADE glommers, norks, and me
Lisa Papademetriou
1-217 pages

-Summary

A huge misunderstanding between Allie and Tam!!!
Tam started hanging out with Reenee, the old LFC club member.
Tam, Allie, and Reenee has a science class together. Tam and Reenee became lab partners and Allie with a nerd called Orren. Allie and Orren did a good job on the lab. Reenee asks Allie for the lab result. Allie couldn't say no, so she let Reenee cheat.
Allie asked Tam out on the weekend, but Tam says she has to meet her grandma. Allie felt sad but went shopping with her mom for skirts (very unusual for Allie). At the mall, Allie saw Tam with Reenee. Allie felt betrayed by her best friend. On the school bus, Allie and Tam talked and Allie forgave Tam.
During the science class, Reenee, Tam, Allie, and Orren got zero for the lab report. Mrs. Larsen, the science teacher found both of the reports were the exact same. But Mrs. Larsen was a milkyway (someone who looks really hard on outside, but really marshmallow on the center), and let them do it again and regrade them but with 20 points off. Orren was angry but forgave Allie.
After the class, Tam got furious at Allie. Even though she was the one who should be sorry. She shouted that she and Reenee are very mad and asked Allie to act normal.
Tam visited Allie and said sorry. Then came Lionel (Allie's big brother) and said "... have you been teaching Allie how to act normal?" and Tam answered, "Trying too." Allie was very upset.
Soccer team are going to sport banquet with pairs. Allie thought of asking Chris (older boy, Allie's huge crush) but Orren asks Allie first. Allie couldn't say no, so she said, "Sure! Sounds Great!" and she didn't mean it. 
What is Allie going to do?
What will happen between Allie and Tam?

-My thoughts

'Why are THEY mad at HER? They should be they should be the ones who are sorry! They asked Allie for the paper, and copied all of Allie and Orren's work, and now they are mad because they got zero!' pg. 109

'I think Tam isn't really a great friend. She doesn't think how Allie would feel. She made me angry just reading it.' pg. 134

'Orren is a good friend, even though he's a boy. He knows Allie's secret (that she likes Chris) and keeps it. He understands her and very nice to her. Maybe...' pg. 142

'I am relieved because Allie plays soccer. Adults say sports is the great way to make friends, and they are right. Allie made amazing and caring friends. Jack and Elena.' pg. 148

'Now I realized that Tam is kind of a popular girl who doesn't care about other's feelings and kind of mean, too. Allie is a road-chicken (n: someone who can't decide which side to be on, and ends up standing in the middle of the road... which is, of course, where the cars are) right now.' pg. 154

'I think Dad is kind of like a person who cares a lot about how you look. He cares about how Allie dresses and frowns at Lionel's hair.' pg. 164
