Val isn't really trying to be cool she just wants to be normal again which will be hard because many people are blaming her for the shootings also about the Hate List itself. Nick was never cool he was basically an outcast to everyone at Garvin High. he always had dirty clothes and never looked clean and he would always get mistreated by classmates.
