Just doing a new PT and I noticed something odd about the Mona/Camila/Burke interaction at the preps party.
I don't know if it's been discussed ages ago or something but I realised Camila
wasn't in the room when Burke did/said whatever he did to Mona.
Perhaps there is more to Mona's refusal, or rather what was asked of her than we suspect? (Perhaps even Camila doesn't know, afterall Mona shut down for a week~ before hitting the road then ghosting Camila/everyone)
Either I need more sleep, this has already been discussed, or we need a true theorist on this

I felt the Mona situation was relatively straight forward. She signed up with Quinn to fuck for free tuition, but balked when she found out she'd be fucking old guys:
Quinn: "You two. Leave."
Lily: "No. We're staying."
Quinn: "No, you're not. It's girl talk time."
Lily: "You're in luck! I'm a girl."
Lily: "Also, I already know what it's about."
Quinn: "..."
Lily: "Don't worry. I keep secrets very well."
Quinn: "Hopefully better than others."
Mona: "I wasn't going to tell anyone, she overheard us talking."
Quinn: "And \"us\" alludes to you and Camila?"
Mona: "I'm sorry, I couldn't do it."
Mona: "I thought I could, but as soon as he started touching me I felt sick."
Quinn: "Pathetic. This isn't the same go-getter I talked to before."
Quinn: "You know what you agreed to."
Mona: "But I don't want it anymore. You never told me I had to do old guys!"
Quinn: "Mona, Mona, Mona..."
Quinn: "What do you expect me to do now?"
Mona: "I won't tell anyone."
Quinn: "That's a promise that means nothing to me."
Quinn: "Case in point, Lily."
Mona: "It won't happen again. I promise!"
Mona: "I won't say another word about it or the drug deals."
Lily: "The drug deals?"
Mona: "Oh..."
Quinn: "..."
Why she leaves we don't know. She was paying her own way initially, then got the "scholarship", then the "scholarship" was rescinded, then she quit college. Probably wanted to put a very uncomfortable experience behind her.
On a side note, I love how Quinn has no control of the situation here. Lily defies her twice and sticks around for the discussion, and then Mona blows it and mentions drugs too. It's fucking hilarious.
Reading about this again. Can't help but realizing how fucked both Burke and Jade was. They want to have sex with younger ones, so they targeting students. But, when the said student reject them, they didn't hesitate to fucked those student up. I know your soulmate is your mirror. But damn.
I feel for Jade, kinda. Her husband was cheating on her with students, she felt like garbage, then flirted with a student to feel better about herself, then it kinda went too far. She justified it in her mind as getting back at him, and it also boosted her self esteem. But when/if it ended, she because quite defensive, since the mc could be a cunt about it.
Steven, on the other hand, is just a horny cunt that wants to fuck students. So much so that it seems he's got an arrangement with Quinn to give scholarships to girls who are prepared to fuck their way through college.
Both are not stellar examples of human beings, but Steven is multiple magnitudes worse than Jade.
