Paige

Paige is part of Alicia's popular crowd and helps reinforce the cruel behavior Heather wrongly mistakes for confidence. At a costume party, Paige accepts Heather in a bear costume as Alicia, even though the disguised girl's voice and manners seem strange. She joins the conversation's mockery and treats Mark's plan to release foul, potentially harmful gas as a harmless prank. When Heather, still pretending to be Alicia, insists that Mark stop, Paige is surprised by the sudden concern for others. The confrontation prevents anyone at the party from being hurt and accidentally gives Alicia a heroic reputation. Paige's easy acceptance of ridicule and danger helps Heather see that popularity without kindness is not the friendship she truly wants.
