Having guy friends is one thing. Rory thought she'd learned all aspects of friendship— the lines between their genders had blurred enough for the boys to be gross in front of her without much thought, but once she makes her first girl friend, a whole new world is opened up to her.
Finally, she has someone to talk to about things she could never bring up in front of the band: her bodily insecurities (why does she still have the same shape that she did at twelve instead of filling out like the other girls in her grade have?), her nonexistent love life, what the hell having a boyfriend is even like.
