Her crush is an goth girl named Tambry Collins, who is dating Jake Smith. Janna has mommy issues, since her mother is really shitty,cause why not. Her current plan is to get Tambry’s love, even is she dosen’t like her back. And her second current plan is to run away from this shitty town and become an famous celebrity. She promised to keep Nancy Johnson’s pregnancy a secret.
Tambry Collins is an hispanic 14 year old goth girl. Suprisingly, she’s popular and is dating Jake Smith. Tambry dosen’t feel anything towards Jake, but how they got together is because of their parents. Tambry is actually an closeted bisexual girl, and she is sadly unaware that Janna has an crush on her. Tambry actually has parent issues, and has bulimia. Tambry’s current plan is to be accepted by everyone, for who she is, and to tell Jake the truth.
Jake Smith is an 14 year old british boy, who is actually nice. He is Janna’s next door neighboor, and they’re childhood friends basically. He’s dating Tambry Collins, but is unaware that she dosen’t love him. He has an shitty father and he has daddy issues.

She knows, that he’ll never date her, because he’s dating Tambry Collins, the goth girl she despised for that. She was slut shamed by the mean girls, when she was sitting in the bathroom and looking at her phone. Nancy was s*xually abused by her uncle Ted and nobody believed her. She was pregnant with his child, and the only one who knew was Janna, because Nancy trusted Janna the most. She only had one friend, and her name was Janna.

The biggest clue M. L. Rio gives us to what actually happened at the end of 'If We Were Villains' isn't Pericles, allow me to elaborate:
Spoilers for 'If We Were Villains' by M.L. Rio below, obviously.
So, everyone talks about the Pericles symbolism and that being proof that James is alive, but I think there's stronger proof elsewhere. In the epilogue, when Oliver is told that James is dead, Filippa is said to have "a copy of Winter’s Tale open in her lap" (351).
If you haven't read The Winter's Tale, that's okay, it is a strange play. (Despite it being, in my opinion, Shakespeare's most explicitly sapphic play!!). But anyway, a key aspect of the plot is that a character everyone thinks is dead comes back to life at the end. I'll explain further:
So, in act three, scene two, a character named Hermione is said to have died after being accused of a crime she didn't commit. The audience sees her pass out, and she's carried offstage where it is said she died.
Hermione was accused of adultery and treason, and the person she was accused of cheating with, Polixenes, escapes before he can be killed for this crime with an advisor named CAMILLO — aka the same name as the gang's fight coordinator who knew James well / became Fillippa's fiancé.
Now, in the very last scene of the play, all the remaining characters gather back together including Camillo, as well as Leontes, the man who caused Hermione to "die," and who was consumed by grief and regret for the actions he took that lead to her death. Miraculously, during this scene, a friend of Hermione's named Paulina reveals that through Leontes's remorse and the resolution of this whole plot, Hermione is miraculously able to come back to life. It's unclear if this is through magic or if Hermione was just hiding out with Paulina all this time and now is able to return to her husband (booooo). She falls into Leontes's arms and everyone is happy again. This is a super weird plot point and doesn't make a lot of sense, but it does speak to the possibility of James being alive!
Interestingly, from that scene, there's also this line: "Bequeath to death your numbness, for from him / Dear life redeems you." - Winter's Tale, V.iii.1280129. To me, this line can easily be applied to James's guilt and reason for theoretically committing suicide. Is James able to find redemption through dying and then coming back to life?
I think the name Camillo is the strongest connection here - there's no way it's accidental. Additionally, this might be a reach, but Winter's Tale is only mentioned one other time in the book, on page 94 when present day-Fillipa mentions, "Frederick wants to branch out and try Winter’s Tale, but Gwendolyn’s insisting on Othello.” The comparison of these two plays seems deliberate - they aren't in the same genre, so they're an odd two plays to be choosing between for the fourth years. However, there is a KEY comparison between the two: they both involve husbands becoming convinced that their wives are being unfaithful, and they both involve said husbands killing their wives—the only difference is that in The Winter's Tale, Hermione comes back to life. Desdemona doesn't. Is M. L. Rio making a sneaky reference to the two possible interpretations of her ending here? Sort of presenting the reader with a choice of what interpretation they chose to believe?
I think it's so cool!!!
