“Just friends” is the thought in Whitney’s head, her prepared answer just in case anyone asks why she’s attending the academic team match. The question, presumably, would be, “Are you here to see Derek Roil? Are you guys going out, or what?” But is she actually secretly interested in him? Would we know if she was? Could she just be interested in the idea of being interested in someone?
Anyway. This is an academic team match, not psychoanalysis. All we need to know at this point is that she’s parking her mom’s car in the lot outside the school district’s headquarters office, checking her hair in the rearview mirror, and adjusting her different-from-school outfit. In support of full disclosure, she is still wearing jeans and a t-shirt, but they’re clearly somewhat [what? cooler? dressier?] different than those she wore to school. Anyone looking can tell this right away.
